hi Don,
long time no talk. I am amazed to see you still hard at work coding, many people truly love this mod. we're all thankful for your time and efforts.
so anyway real life dragged me away, but I finally got time to put steam on here and then I bought bnw to go along with all the DLC etc I already had. then I remembered the problem we had before, so I wanted to report the following:
1:
the official maps directory seems to be here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\Maps
it has 29 files.
another area seems to be here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\DLC_SP_Maps\Maps
it has 10 files.
and yet another area here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion\Maps
it has 11 files.
(I haven't found any other areas with maps yet)
so unless there is overlap, there should be 50 maps offered, right? (made up of both *.lua files, and *.civ5map files)
the issue is that when I go to pick maps in the setup of the game, civ only gives me 45 map choices.
can anyone else confirm this, and / or explain it? is it due to overlap? meaning the same map is in two locations?
2:
the second issue is that I use a different method then what the mod recommends to enable the mod on DLC maps. I leave everything in place as is, but I copy the DLC maps to a temp spot. then I slightly rename the files, and slightly rename the txt key inside them. then I put them in the official "maps" dir, and the mod works fine with them.
the problem is I can only do this on the *.lua maps, NOT the *.civ5map files. is there a way to open those that works? txtpad and wordpad don't do it right afaict.
---
once I get these issues worked out, i'll be able to give you decent feedback on the mod itself, and btw I am using the version available from steam. (v10)
thanks again Don!
