GitHub link

Now link to GitHub as I don't have time to maintain 3 separate upload.

• allows external mods to set Starting Location Resources
• allows units placement on start using XML/SQL
  
• fix some cases of wrong coordinates conversion when using some sections of the map
• expand "Colonization" section of the Giant Earth a bit more to the East (to include Russia, Egypt, Arabia)
  
• add "-- Lake" tag at the end of corresponding lines for export data
• update the (commented out) export code for a civ5 map
  
• try to get an adjacent replacement plot when Starting Location is invalid on maps using a reference map DB (fix Rome TSL on Largest Earth Custom Map)
• add extensive localization for Minnesota Cities (by JamHeronArk)
• add Brush Size option for Terrains, Continents, Features, Territory and Visibility placement in WorldBuilder (max size set by WB_MAX_BRUSH_SIZE in GlobalParameters)
• add "Export Map to Lua.log" (in YnAMP format) button to the In Game and WorldBuilder option menu
• replace Civ5 Continents by multiple Subcontinents and Regions on the Giant Earth Map
• add option to use the Seven Continents model on the Giant Earth Map
• add predefined Map Sections on the Giant Earth Map ("Europe", "Mediterranean", "Middle East", "Americas", "Colonization", "Old World")
• add a few new Borders selection for Custom Map Section for the Giant and Largest Earth Map
• tweak Gibraltar placement on the Largest Earth Map (when NW are set directly in the MapScript, they take priority over the DB entry)
• add Lake Victoria custom rules for correct placement on Terra Map (Require "Large" or bigger map sizes) and Largest Earth Map
  
• CityMap : Added Russian Far East (by Butanic)
• CityMap : Midwest Cleanup (by JamHeronArk)
• Additional options for Wonders placement on Giant Earth: Temple of Artemis, Great Zimbabwe and Jebel Barkal (by rockandride)
• New feature: custom borders selection for the Giant Earth Map and the Largest Earth Map (merged back in the main mod, renamed "Largest Earth Custom")
• New feature: initial framework for generated or imported Scenario
• bugfix: check if an imported feature from MapToConvert data is a NW differently (to allow placement of new features with IDs >= FEATURE_BARRIER_REEF ID)
• bug fix : restore the original ResourceBuilder.CanHaveResource at the end of the map creation

- add TSL for the new Civilizations from Rise&Fall thanks to tomaltachpaulson
- include Dieter VonClam's Large Europe (79x73) to YnAMP base mod, thanks to tomaltachpaulson for the TSL
- add missing Strategic resources when loading a map using the resource generator code (fix missing Niter on maps directly imported from civ5)
- convert Gold to Silver when importing a Civ5 map
- enable all YnAMP base maps for R&F
- re-use the game's starting plots placement when not using TSL
- add ethnicity entries for DLC Civilizations (used for culturally linked start position)
- add Reef placement on maps (use "Map Generator" option for "Features Placement" to allow spawning on Earth maps)
- add code to use alternate TSL when the initial TSL is on a water or Impassable plot (fix Khmer TSL with Sukritact's Tonlé Sap)
- reactivate and fix Terra Map start position code (fix "old world" start location option)
- set "Continent" as the default script for West Europa on the Terra Map (was "Small Continents")
- bug fix : test relative position from other TSL, but not the plot itself when using the Terra Map with TSL, because the DB coordinates are not converted to the current map size coordinates and a plot can be nil.
- add R&F Natural Wonders positions by Yakuzi on the Giant Earth Map
- add Japanese translation by Sub6
- bugfix : try to remove incorrect features and resources when the Terra Map script changes terrains around Natural Wonders
- bugfix : make sure that there is at least one backup starting position for a Civilization when using the Terra Map script, even if it's a bad one
- R&F fix: override the Advanced Setup Screen to make sure the game doesn't try to start with more than 62 players (Civilizations + City States) as Free Cities use the #63 slot
- bugfix: now use higher mountainRatio values (which give less mountains)

* North America City Name Update (thanks to Moda)

- Adds indigenous city names to almost all North American tiles
- Some entirely new cities added, and some old ones moved
- Altered the starting location of Cree and Palenque to reflect the above city name changes

• compatibility : do not fail to update map sizes when another mod set new sizes using the same name
• compatibility : Detailed Worlds replace MapUtilities.lua with a version missing IsAdjacentToLandPlot(), adding a backup of the original function in YnAMP's AssignStartingPlots
• compatibility : don't output an error when limiting Barbarian Scouts while another mod is removing the Scout units...
• compatibility : raise the load order of imported files
• bug fix : add check before placing additional Jungle on a plot
• desync fix for the Terra Map: replace pairs() with a function iterating tables in a fixed order
• hotseat fix for the Terra Map: do not try to sort a list of plots by fertility when that list is empty...
• bug fix : the resource replacement function was sometime causing the AssignStartingPlots script to fail before setting TSL

• Add new option when selecting "TSL" to allow Civilization without TSL to be placed on the map anyway.
