OK, I have the Earth18civ map. That's great. Now though I would like to take this map on be able to select it from the single player - customize - Map area. I have been looking into this and I know how to change the text. To configure the menus. But how I can I get the radomization portion to pull the Earth plots. If you look under Assets\Python\CvMapGeneratorUtil.py there is some good information on the randomization process and a little clue on how to pull preconfigured plots. Any body have any ideas on how to make this work. I'm going to keep looking/playing with it and see what I can come up with. There are several other locations that are also along the whole map thing. Any thoughts out there?
We all know it has to be a py file inside the folder
Sid Meier's Civilization 4\PublicMaps
So we only have to figure out the call procedure and the variables needed to pass to it. The map itself we have so we have the information to feed it once we find out how to. The call procedure I think that might work is "GeneratePlotsByRegion".
Looking some more at it though, it doesn't appear to be for a predefined map type. Because of the way the Poly Blocks work - Overlapping. The PlotsByregion only lays out chuncks of land and not physical x\y positions. The regions can be of various sizes within the Polyblocks. Hey if a designer of Civ 4 is reading these, what suggestions do you have? I understand the easiness of scripts to produce random maps but there should be a GUI interface that allows us to customize Earth driven experience. Including the randomization of the starting locations of the "Empires".
