BeginTag before EndTag (BeginPlot is allowed to start Units and Cities)
Some checks on the coordinates in zterrain plot

Yea ive dl it and tried too modify the game from it but can't seem too do diddly,what dose it do?

Currently it only shows the map as it is. Not perfect yet but it is a fast way to view the map and get an overview, see dumb errors like woods in the oceans or such things.
With the lastest version i did the first step towards an editing functionality but until this really works you´ll still have to wait a bit.

What you could do with the Program (0.1.5.589) is mainly preview the map without having to load it via civ or see if you find easy errors as mentioned above and easily find out in which line of code it is, or what the coordinates are. Or just use it to create a screenshot of a wbs map.

but don´t worry....the goal is to supply editor functionality as fast as possible.

The program is neat because it allows you to view everything in a rather moral visual way than an INI file. Which is great to reference back on. :goodjob:

Okay, how does it work?

I keep getting "Externe Exception EEFACE" errors.

Edit: Okay, looks like it has problems with the Excel-based "YAME Civ 4" spreadsheet. The files produced by Civ 4 WorldBuilder are okay. :(

Edit 2: So how do we maximize the view, like you show? And how do you stop the screen from slowly scrolling around? (It also acts slowly... :( )

there´s a splitter between the 2 areas of the program, you can just fluidly resize them by drag and drop the little gab between the greyish fields and the map window. You´ll notice the splitting curor to appear as soon as you hover the mouse arround in the border area.

yeah, there´s is an issue about the scrolling not stopping when you move on a toolbar in editmode. Currently scrolling should stop as soon as the program tracks a mousemove event on those toolbars but unfortunately that isn´t bulletproof yet. ;/

In the normal, viewing mode you can just press the left or right mouse button to either scroll or zoom.

:bumb:

next update,
you can finally REALLY edit.
