OMG THANK YOU! Can't wait to give this a try.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

indeed thanks a lot, I'm uploading a mapscript only version with the fix already applied

 

[SharTeel]

Tried a couple maps (continents, fractal and pangaea) and it seems to be working fine This mod is compatible with Caps Lock and other start position adjustements right? It doesn't seem to have his own file for that

 

[Aoiinazuma]

I tried the R&F fix but the maps still don't show up. Any ideas?

Coastal/Ocean resources don't spawn (appears to have started after fall 2017 update), otherwise great map mod!

Rise & Fall Update

Surprise

I can't promise regular updates. My new job pays me a lot of money but demands a lot of my time in exchange.

I only did some basic testing with the new version in Rise & Fall. The map was created, resources all spawned (including in the water), and after a few tests nothing looked horribly out of place so we should be good to go.

This update restores 99% of the original mods functionality. The only two changes I didn't update are:

• Ice - The new Firaxis code does almost exactly what I had done before so I kept their version, if it doesn't work well let me know and I'll stick my code back in there
• Lakes - I left out the old code to try to force lakes 2+ tiles away from the coast and desert until I can look more into their changes to rivers & lakes

Enjoy!

thanks and congrats on your new job

 

[Seven05]

You're welcome, thanks for keeping it running

Not really a "new" job as I've been doing it since I stopped showing up here about a year ago, i just expected it to be like every other job and slow down once I got everything under control but that hasn't really happened.

Thanks for this great mod! Have been playing the previous versions for a long time and enjoying it thoroughly!
Can't wait to play a few new games with this update.

I have generated a few continent maps and it looks great so far! You haven't touched lakes yet. I noticed that all the lakes are just odd one-tile-lakes not connected to any rivers, making some aspects of the game, like the wonder Huey Toecalli less useful. The rest is pretty much perfect, the maps look fantastic and are probably really fun to play. (I'm going to find out right now!)
Thanks again.

 

[Seven05]

I saw the same thing with lakes, guess I'll figure out how to force my lake changes back in there and re-start my game

I'll put an update up for the lakes soon. I'm still not convinced on their new ice code either so I may put my old ice code back in so it's not ALWAYS clear on the coastal tiles.

Anyone try the updated mod without R&F yet? Does it work? We don't have R&F yet on macs, so I'll use my old copy of the mod unless someone can confirm it works pre-patch/expansion. I love this mod BTW, I won't play without it. My favorite is fractal.

 

[SharTeel]

w00t, is it christmas again? nice to see the mod officially updated \o/ praise the modder

 

[pokiehl]

Thank you so much, Seven05! Glad to see you post again, good luck with the job, and hope to see more frequently if possible.

Seven05 updated Detailed Worlds with a new update entry:

I just put up version 1.31 with a few very minor adjustments.

I forced my lake changes into the new Firaxis code, it works and seems to have eliminated the frequency of one-tile lakes. I also put my old ice code back in since I didn't like the Firaxis method of simply removing all ice from coastal waters.

And now the grand kids are here so no more Civ for me for a while.

Detailed Worlds

One question out of curiosity not judging or anything, why this mod isn't in Steam Workshop?

Mostly because I never bother to sort out how to upload a mapscript to the workshop, it's not as mindless easy as it is to zip it an upload here

Thank you. I will download and check it out and give you some feedback.

Amazing, thank you so much for the update! Gotta try it this is afternoon.

Rise & Fall Reef fix

Quick fix to allow the Rise & Fall reef feature to appear, I reduced the frequency of it from the base game as there tends to be a lot of coastal tiles on Detailed Worlds maps. You'll find a few but there won't be many, i was seeing 5-6 reef tiles on a large map when I tested it.

There is also some preliminary code in there for extra hills to break up massive flatland areas. These hills are added after cliffs are created so you can actually see some coastal hill tiles without cliffs. This was a mistake but I kind of like the results so I think I'll call that bug a feature and keep it

You might want check how that affects the turtles resource. We were discussing it over in the YnAMP forum... turtles are limited to reefs by default, and therefore already have a pretty low presence (0-6 ).
