Custom Game with Earth Map

[hj232]

Anyone know how to put in a map script that would create Earth everytime to allow a custom game with the Earth map?

The best way would probably be to have a bmp file that represents a map of the earth and then have the map read this bmp file and place the plots and terrain on the map according to the bmp file. If you don't know what a mean speak up and I will explain this further.

I know what a bmp is--after that you lost me.

Thanks for the reply.

Furthermore, I should say that what I'm trying to do is play on the Earth map but to be able to change options to raging barbarians, perm alliances, etc. There may be an easy way to do that through the scenario editor that I'm not aware of.

a bmp basicly stores diffent values for each color in the file. you can use python to open the file and read it and as it reads it you can have it add terrain to the map depending on the value in the bmp file. don't ask me for the python code to do this since I have never done it myself and it whould take me some time to figure it out.

To tell you the honest truth I have done very little with the senerio editor and have no idea what all you can do with it.
