[MapScript] Erebus Continent

[Seven05]

Well, it'll take about 10 seconds longer to generate than a standard sized map

Depending on the mod (I'll assume Wild Mana for you) you'll end up light on the jungles since you'll only have 1 civ out of 21 with a preference there. Deserts and tundra will also be reduced due to the relatively low number of civs prefering those climates.

worked fine, aside from the fact that it made flavourstarts freak out and throw python exception for some reason. it's working fine now, I'll try that again later to see if it's consistent

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

will "modify settings" and "override settings" mess up the great plains option?

 

[Seven05]

No, but they can both reduce deserts resulting in fewer plains, if that counts as messing it up

I'll have a new version soon, hopefully with Orbis support. I've also changed the way jungles are placed making them less dependant on temperature and more dependant on rainfall. This helps spread the jungles out and makes it possible to get some jungles when using the minimal settings regardless of the shape and placememnt of the landmass.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

sounds great, especially for the Orbis people

I'm more excited about the jungles

Instead of only appearing in the warmest 20% (or so) of the map they can appear in the warmest 30% (or so) of the map but require about 30% more rainfall than previously. The results are pretty good too, with some scattered jungle clusters along the coasts and then some larger jungle regions in the areas with the heaviest rainfall. But, nothing like before where the entire southern end of the map was covered in jungles since it's pretty likely that you have some clusters of regular forests in there.

bring it on

2.62 is up.

If somebody can see if it works with Orbis I would appreciate it. I added support for Orbis' Crystal Plains to see if that solves the crashes.

Also, this has the jungle changes in. I ran several tests and never ended up with a map completely missing jungles even with them at the minimal setting (not off though). I also added a quick modification to the flavor start options so that marsh plots are always converted to grassland around starting plots, this helps as you'll find many civs more willing to start near jungle with the new placement rules for jungles since it isn't always in massive clusters.

I just tried it and had a CTD using "Play Now" and all settings at default.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

thanx, I'll try it out

Hmm... Orbis hates me

Thank for trying, I'll have to find something else that's breaking it then...

Version 2.00 of ErebusContinent is included with Orbis and works fine. So it's probably something you added, not something you didn't include.

That should help narrow down things a bit.

Actually, that version of ErebusContinent was edited by Opera (I think; Can't remember, may have been Ahwaric) for Orbis.

 

[Seven05]

It was edited by somebody else, there were a few changes that were marked by comments and I found one that wasn't, hopefully that'll fix it

And, 2.63 is up with (hopefully) support for Orbis. Looks like Orbis has "TERRAIN_WETLAND" instead of "TERRAIN_MARSH" so I just added a quick check to replace marsh with wetland if there is no marsh terrain. Placement rules are identical to marshes, not sure if that is accurate for Orbis but I'll worry about that once it works

See my post in the Orbis thread.

Well, that's good news, I've update the first post taking out the warning about crashes in Orbis. If somebody could be so kind as to upload the CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml file from Orbis I can add in propper support for any new (or renamed) civs as well.

See here please.

Can you start with that civ, I thought they were spawned later?
