Map size problem

[Aquila SPQR]

I'd like to add bigger map size to my game - I edited CIV4WorldInfo.xml and copied this:

From A New Dawn mod. But when I choose this new map size in my game (terra, giant) - this happens all the time:

Spoiler :

No seas, only one huge landmass. XML text was copied from a mod where it works without any problems, so why here it gives me... this?

Any advice?

You should activate python exceptions in your main Civ4 .ini file, so that we can see what error message the map script produces.

 

[Aquila SPQR]

Is there any log file I can copy-paste here or do I have to take screeshots of the errors (I got two)?

 

[The_J]

Documents\My Games\BtS\Logs there should be some logs. The important one for Python erros is the PythonErr2.log.

Ok, here it is:

That doesn't say anything, sadly o_O.
-> then screenshots please.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Documents\My Games\BtS\Logs there should be some logs. The important one for Python erros is the PythonErr2.log.

I always find the PythonErr.log a better one to track errors.

 

[isenchine]

Probably a question of definition of the Map size.

I refer you to this thread, to read up to the last post.

 

[Aquila SPQR]

Problem solved. I edited CIV4WorldInfo.xml but had no idea I have to edit map type .py file (I thought that changing this xml file is everything I have to do). So I copied ROM_terra.py to my mod folder and right now everything work perfectly.

Thanks for all your replies.

You have to edit any map script that overrides the default map sizes, and possibly some other things, if you add an entry to the world info XML. If you don't it will have a problem when it tries to look up the size of the map, calling the function in the map script that overrides the sizes, and it turns out that it doesn't have any data for the extra size. Unlike a lot of things in the game, map making seems to have some default stuff to fall back to in the event of an error and one of the things that does is typically to generate an all land map (it can also just produce an all grassland map, or it presumably just uses the first terrain defined in the file which is grassland for regular BtS, the difference probably depending on how or when it fails).
