civ5map -> lua: Play The World Extended (Gods and Kings Edition) (v 2)

[nORb Dragon]

Greetings.

I apologize immediately for my English. English is not native for me. But i think someone be interested in this.

In attach you can find lua-script for civ5 game (single player and multiplayer). Used map for convertion: Play The World Extended (Gods and Kings Edition) (v 2) (v 3) by Hormigas. This map is based on the well known Yet Another Giant Earth Map from Gedemon in 180x94 and wouldn't have been possible without his hard work in converting Genghis Kai's GEM for Civ5.

How to install and play:

1. Close game client.
2. Unpack archive.
3. Copy file "Play The World Extended G&K v3.lua" to <GameFolder>\Assets\Maps\
4. Run game client, create game (single or multiplayer).
5. Press "Advanced Setup" for open advanced game create options.
6. Select Map Type "Play The World Extended G&K v.3 (lua)".
7. World size setting not affect to true game size (map size is locked by script).
8. Set max count City-States for your game (how much you want, but script drop some City-States if need).
9. Start game and play!

You think about multiplayer? Just give this lua-script to your friends for install. But map is very huge (180x94), so you need good hardware (RAM, usually) for start and stable play.

Playable civilizations (with "true start locations"):

1. America
2. Arabia
3. Austria
4. Babylon
5. Byzantium
6. Carthage
7. China
8. Denmark
9. Egypt

Aye. I was looking this solution long time... Before start thinking about converting map by self. And now i can play in multiplayer at "True Earth" map.

Nice work.
Do you have script that makes map tables from game map?

 

[nORb Dragon]

Not script. I have little program for convert game maps (first part of file, with landscape grid) to lua-scripts.

Could you publish it here. It can be very helpful for me.

 

[nORb Dragon]

Fixed some bugs in lua-script. If someone still need G&K version, you can use this (attachment in first post).
