Finding out Map Seed

[MSTK]

How can I find out the map seed of the current game I am playing?

Look here.

Look here.

Woah. Never thought there'd be a program devoted to it.

Thanks

If you're still there, ainwood, may I ask you why my C3C 1.22 save files can't be analyzed?

 

[ainwood]

They should be able to be!

 

[MSTK]

It says "Failed reading Save File"

 

[ainwood]

E-mail it to me @ gotm@civfanatics.net and I'll try and sort it out.

I'm not keen to using e-mail outside of personal businesses. Is it okay if I PM you?

 

[ainwood]

No problem - link it here if you like.

Oh, thanks! I had this before my computer got a virus, but forgot the name.

And MSTK, my Epic Game (1.22) saves work, but not the Conquest (Rise of Rome, etc.) saves. Are you trying to analyze them?

They are not generated - they are hand-made. So the map seed would be "0".

But you can easily see the Conquest maps in the editor, so this is no problem at all.

 

[MSTK]

So, all maps with seed 0 stay that way forever?

 

[ainwood]

The seed remains as whatever it was on the base map that they used to generate it from. Eg: For GOTM I create a random map (which gets a seed) then mod it.

If they start with a completely blank canvas, then it might be different....
