YnAMP - Larger Map, TSL, Continents++ (beta) 1.0.3

New map sizes, Continents++ script and TSL Greatest Earth Map



Playable:

• Unlock Large and Huge sizes
• Add Massive (128x80) map size (use preferably with the new Continents++ script)
• Add Greatest Earth Map by djvandyke with TSL (landmasses shapes and mountains only, must be loaded with "Custom Huge for Greatest Earth (104x64)" size selected)
• Add Continents++ Map script (edited version of Continent Plus, less blocky and scale better with map sizes)

Experimental:

• Add Giant (180x94) and Ludicrous (230x116) map sizes (for testing only, graphical glitch, not playable)
• Add Giant Earth Map (landmasses shape only, must be loaded with Giant Size selected, not playable)

Released as a Mod, it doesn't replace the game's files

Installation

extract directly in your "%localappdata%\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\Mods" folder (without creating an additional folder, see tree below)




MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Civilization VII/Mods
Linux: ~/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VII/Mods/
Steam Deck: ~/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VII/Mods/


To uninstall

delete the "ynamp" folder created on extraction

Known issues

• Graphical glitch on map sizes larger than 128 (Giant, Ludicrous), all tiles where x > 127 are white (no texture)
• With the Continents++ script, in some cases you or the AI will be able to reach distant land islands before the exploration age
• When one civ (from a custom mod, or from new DLC before this mod updates) doesn't have a TSL defined, all civs will be randomly placed

Debugging

If you want to help debugging the maps, there are two tools:


Open the "AppOptions.txt" file in the "\AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VII" folder (on Windows)

find the line

and set it to
(don't forget to remove the semi-colon at the beginning)

The plot's position will be shown on the tooltip, as well as the "homeland" or "distant land" tag



2/ Reveal the map

- Enable the console (this may disable Steam's achievements), see this tutorial
- the button is on the map's section of the debug menu in the console
