Maps & Scenarios

Guys, its possible to create 360x180 Earth map? Its 64800 tiles (max is 65k or something).
I think with viewports size map doesn't have noticeable hit on memory used.
It could have 7 civilizations on start (to reduce CPU usage).
Since there is 7 "main" cultures, divided by continents starting civs would be for example:

America (North America)
Brasilia (South America)
Germany (Europe)
Zululand (Africa)
China (Asia)
Arabia (Middle East)
Australia (Oceania)
Or there could be prehistoric equivalent.
BTW they could be located with historical accuracy.

Who was the one who wanted to make HUGE maps???

 

[Faustmouse]

I wanted to make ONE HUGE map.

Wide(East-West): 210 Plots
Hight(North-South): 240-300 plots (The more the better)

OK, i am working on a mapscript that you will be able to make a 512X512 if you wanted to.

 

[Faustmouse]

Is this possible? I think ls16 stated that the maxiumum amount of plots is 63500 or something like that.

And I'd only need the dimension i asked for. I edited my mapscript but it crashed all the time while making the map.

There's only ONE problem with GINORMOUS maps:
No matter how good your computer actually IS, Civ4 still lives in the last millennium...

What about 360x180 (round equator x North pole to South pole) map size? So each square represents one degree x one degree.
That would be 64800 tiles, just bit below 65k limit.

My "modified" script for SO:

 

[Osk21]

I always want to build the biggest maps available, especially now thanks to better memory allocation without viewports. What is the best map type for maximum plains and forest for Pangaea maps. I have been using perfectMongoose. I don't want to use an Earth map.

 

[Faustmouse]

The smartmap script should be very flexible (see post above yours).

Extract it to desktop (it's a py-file), then copy it to C2C/Privat Maps.
When you load the game, you can select it when making a new game (like you can with PerfectMongoose).
It should (in theory) allow you to do anything you want with the map. I haven't tested it because my game crashes when I make a map (it works fine for StrategyOnly though).

 

[Osk21]

I look forward to being able to use it! I am currently working on a game I've been on since Valentines day, and I don't currently have WinRAR. Thanks

Is it even possible to have a map that is wider than high? Whenever I try that (even with very small maps) my game crashes while making the map

Why not put your request in the map scrpit area, never know someone who knows more might help??

 

[Faustmouse]

Where is the map script area?

Thanks!

Here is the modified Mapscript (and don't tell me I haven't changed anything )

 

[Harrier]

Added a new version of SEM - includes a new Custom_Civs folder, adding back a few of the ones removed for memory optimization. I have created a new thread.

 

[Harrier]

I have now increased the size of the SEM map by about 10%. - It is not now standard size but is a lot smaller than the next - large size (which is at least 1/3 larger approx.).

The new thread in "Maps & Scenarios" is called "New 'Updated' Standard Earth Map".

Enjoy.

By the way, is there anyone here that knows where the "you have been defeated" bug from the Desert Planet map or a GEM comes from? can this be fixed before the release?

On the GEM map yes, and only if they do what Harrier did and include the Custom Map, but they will NO longer be in normal C2C, sorry.
