Hi :)
Can anybody help me?
I was thinking about creating a map in world builder and then use it as a lua script to play in multiplayer.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
 
Thank you
I really would like to try.... I dont understand well this point (perhaps because I dont know so very well firetuner)....


Now to get the MapToConvert data, use this code in civ5 (in firetuner for example)
PHP:
for iPlotLoop = 0, Map.GetNumPlots()-1, 1 do
local plot = Map.GetPlotByIndex(iPlotLoop)
local NEOfRiver = 0
local WOfRiver = 0
local NWOfRiver = 0
if plot:IsNEOfRiver() then NEOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverSWFlowDirection()
if plot:IsWOfRiver() then WOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverEFlowDirection()
if plot:IsNWOfRiver() then NWOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverSEFlowDirection()
print("MapToConvert["..plot:GetX().."]["..plot:GetY().."]={"..plot:GetTerrainType()..","..plot:GetPlotType()..","..plot:GetFeatureType()..","..plot:GetContinentArtType()..",{{"..NEOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverSWFlowDirection().. "},{"..WOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverEFlowDirection().."},{"..NWOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverSEFlowDirection().."}},{"..plot:GetResourceType(-1)..","..plot:GetNumResource().."}}")
end
and then copy/paste in YourMap.Lua all the "MapToConvert" lines from the lua.log (removing the "[760818.859] InGame: " part, using a good file editor like Notepad++ because of the size of the text (use shift+alt to select the part to cut)
Click to expand...


in any case, if I understand well, with this method is necessary to use a civ5map
something to use the civ6editor to create a map and directly convert ?
Thank you
I really like your works....for civ5 too :)
 
I have managed to pull out some civ6map data using code in YNAMP.

It is in the form of...
Code: 
-- Map Data (from Civ6 WB)
    -- MapToConvert[x][y] = {civ6TerrainType, civ6FeatureTypes, civ6ContinentType, {{IsNEOfRiver, flow}, {IsWOfRiver, flow}, {IsNWOfRiver, flow}}, {Civ6ResourceType, num}, {IsNEOfCliff, IsWOfCliff, IsNWOfCliff} }

    MapToConvert[0][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[1][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[2][0]={3,-1,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[3][0]={3,-1,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{9,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[4][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[5][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[6][0]={4,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[7][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[8][0]={3,-1,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[9][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}
    MapToConvert[10][0]={3,3,42,{{0,-1},{0,-1},{0,-1}},{-1,1},{0,0,0}}

I didn't print out all of it here of course.

Now I am having a hard time doing anything useful with it. What I want to do is print out the map as specified, and then randomize resources and place natural wonders. (although they may be in the feature type data for all I know.

I have tried replacing YNAMP MapToConvert values with my MapToConvert and porting that over to my mod, but after the leader screen appears, I am kicked out of the program in short order. I then went through YNAMP into the AssigntStartPlots and pulled out some code to import civ6map data. I tried to add tha into a map file, but am still getting kicked. Finally, I have tried adding AssignStartPlots as an override, but also failed.

What I really need it a simplified template which I can simply plug in my MapToConvert data and put in the coordinates to add 3 natural wonders and code to randomize, respawn, the resources. I feel this is likely fairly easily done, but I can't seem to figure it out between wondering what component the map script should be a part of and how the script should be set up.

PS I guess I would also need to spread goodie huts.
 
have you edited the g_iW and g_iH values to fit your map Width and Height ?
 
This is my latest iteration... it has been considerably changed over time, and this may not be the best try. I cludged together something using the "PlayEuropeAgain" map in YNAMP and pasting over various parts with items found in AssignStartingPlots (notably "function ImportCiv6Map") and adjusted the code to suit. I have used iterations where I simply pasted over the PlayEuropeAgain MapToConvert section and not changed anything else, (Changing Map grid) but that never worked either. i have also included and not included an override for AssignStartingPlots but that also failed (although Civ 6 froze rather than crashing to desk top in that case). Finally, I have used different modinfo setups to see if that was where the problem lay, without success.

for what you want, try to replace the
Code: 
GenerateImportedMap(GetMap(), ImportCiv6Map(), GetNaturalWonders(), g_iW, g_iH)
line in your code by those lines
Code: 
ImportCiv6Map(GetMap(), g_iW, g_iH, true,  true,  true, false, true)

TerrainBuilder.AnalyzeChokepoints()

resourcesConfig = MapConfiguration.GetValue("resources");
local args = {
    resources = resourcesConfig,
};
ResourceGenerator.Create(args);

local startConfig = MapConfiguration.GetValue("start");-- Get the start config
-- START_MIN_Y and START_MAX_Y is the percent of the map ignored for major civs' starting positions.
local args = {
    MIN_MAJOR_CIV_FERTILITY = 150,
    MIN_MINOR_CIV_FERTILITY = 50,
    MIN_BARBARIAN_FERTILITY = 1,
    START_MIN_Y = 15,
    START_MAX_Y = 15,
    START_CONFIG = startConfig,
}
local start_plot_database = AssignStartingPlots.Create(args)
local GoodyGen = AddGoodies(g_iW, g_iH)
 
No dice... I don't want you to put anymore energy into this. Thank-you for the effort and assistance, but the work will likely be all for naught when a better version of worldbuilder is released (similar to civ 5 builder's capabilities).

I may try to make the map backward compatible with YNAMP instead because hacking parts of the code into my own mod as that doesn't seem to be working. Once I get a map file that works within YNAMP, I will start deleting stuff to trim the mod to just my map requirements.

You'll of course be credited :).
 
Phew! I've just recovered from the Post-NubianPatch-GameCrash-Disorder...

I'm painstakingly drawing a Mediterranean map in civ6 worldbuilder for a scenario/mod and while it (still) loads and plays using TZ method, I'd really like to convert it to lua script. I am a complete noob to lua programing and I need help with this.
I found Gedemon's code
Spoiler Gedemon's code :
for iPlotLoop = 0, Map.GetNumPlots()-1, 1 do
local plot = Map.GetPlotByIndex(iPlotLoop)
local NEOfRiver = 0
local WOfRiver = 0
local NWOfRiver = 0
if plot:IsNEOfRiver() then NEOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverSWFlowDirection()
if plot:IsWOfRiver() then WOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverEFlowDirection()
if plot:IsNWOfRiver() then NWOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverSEFlowDirection()
print("MapToConvert["..plot:GetX().."]["..plot:GetY().."]={"..plot:GetTerrainType()..","..plot:GetPlotType()..","..plot:GetFeatureType()..","..plot:GetContinentArtType()..",{{"..NEOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverSWFlowDirection().. "},{"..WOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverEFlowDirection().."},{"..NWOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverSEFlowDirection().."}},{"..plot:GetResourceType(-1)..","..plot:GetNumResource().."}}")
end
but it didn't work for me. I tried pasting itin Firetuner, but it just returned a syntax error "function expected instead of nil". I must have been doing it wrong way...

Can someone please help me out with this? (Gedemon? :please:) I need detailed instructions on how to extract the plot info from a map. Thanks in advance!
 
for civ6 I use this code to export the map data to a table format (from a script context, like GameCore_Tuner)
Code: 
    local iPlotCount = Map.GetPlotCount();
    for iPlotLoop = 0, iPlotCount-1, 1 do
        local bData = false
        local plot = Map.GetPlotByIndex(iPlotLoop)
        local NEOfCliff = 0
        local WOfCliff = 0
        local NWOfCliff = 0
        if plot:IsNEOfCliff() then NEOfCliff = 1 end
        if plot:IsWOfCliff() then WOfCliff = 1 end
        if plot:IsNWOfCliff() then NWOfCliff = 1 end
        local NEOfRiver = 0
        local WOfRiver = 0
        local NWOfRiver = 0
        if plot:IsNEOfRiver() then NEOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverSWFlowDirection()
        if plot:IsWOfRiver() then WOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverEFlowDirection()
        if plot:IsNWOfRiver() then NWOfRiver = 1 end -- GetRiverSEFlowDirection()
        print("MapToConvert["..plot:GetX().."]["..plot:GetY().."]={"..plot:GetTerrainType()..","..plot:GetFeatureType()..","..plot:GetContinentType()..",{{"..NEOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverSWFlowDirection().. "},{"..WOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverEFlowDirection().."},{"..NWOfRiver..","..plot:GetRiverSEFlowDirection().."}},{"..plot:GetResourceType(-1)..","..tostring(1).."},{"..NEOfCliff..","..WOfCliff..","..NWOfCliff.."}}")
    end

then look after "-- Imported Maps Creation" in YnAMP's AssignStartingPlots.lua file for all the function used to create the map from the table, it's possible to extract just the needed part from there to a single mapscript file but I won't have the time to do that.

The simpler way (not so simple) for you may be to edit one of the example additional map for YnAMP (found in addons) swapping the map table with the one generated with the code above in the lua file (removing the first columns so each line of the table start with "MapToConvert"), changing the folder names, map names and mod's ID and let YnAMP handle the rest...

I still plan to make a tutorial, but free time is always a constraint...
 
Wow, that's... that's magic! Eternally grateful, Gedemon!

I'll surely use one of your YnAMP maps as a template, it's easier to implement the code and I can learn some basics that way, too.

Thank you for your great work and inspiration you give us!
