I'll try to write a small step by step thing.
1. Make sure you have CPT and C3MT (both by me)
2. Create your map, and place the overlay-starting positions where you want civs to start.
3. Start the CopyTool (part of C3MT) and load your map BIC.
4. Cick on Generate CPF and select a name of your CPF-file and when done exit C3MT.
5. Locate the created file and load it with Notepad
6. Take a look at the file, so that it has the correct number of positions. They are in the file in the order they were found on the map (searched from upper left corner row by row)
7. For each starting position in the file:
a) Check what civ that shall be placed on the given coordinates. (using the editor (I sugest that you make a list at first, but if you haven't use the editor))
b) Change the ID and the NAME to the corresponding civs
8. Save your work; it's now ready for testing
List of default Civs and IDs
Code:
[B]ID NAME[/B]
1 Rome
2 Egypt
3 Greece
4 Babylon
5 Germany
6 Russia
7 China
8 America
9 Japan
10 France
11 India
12 Persia
13 Aztecs
14 Zululand
15 Iroquois
16 England
If you want a specific placement if the Civ is renamed to something specific (In Marlas map Sweden
) you can use any name, as long as you set the ID=-1
