[Solved] Changing terrain ingame using Firetuner

[Piruparka]

Skodkim, this is awesome, thank you very much for your effort! It seems like there's problems with placing NWs that range over more than one tile. Do you have an idea on how this can be solved?

 

[Piruparka]

I think you'll have to call TerrainBuilder.AnalyzeChokepoints() after changing sea to land (and land to sea ?)

Not sure if it can be called from in game (must be in a script context) or if you'll have to add a script that will call it when relaoding a savegame after the change.

Can you explain what this means? I don't unterstand, what to do. I experience the same issue.

Piruparka, after i finished editing my map with firetuner I went to the lua console panel and selected GameCore_Tuner.

Then in the bar down the bottom where you can enter text, just write TerrainBuilder.AnalyzeChokepoints() and then press enter and it should run this function on the map you have edited (it might take a minute or two and your game wont respond during this time).

After I did that my map ran fine and i could settle on the formerly sea tiles without issue. You just need to run this function after you have finished editing a map with firetuner.

I created a button for this, now it works like a charm. Thanks a lot guys!

All right, so I solved it, but it's exactly the opposite of what skodkim said.
You have to paste the files (and overwrite) to the Debug folder, not the FireTuner folder. There's no need to copy any files to the FireTuner folder.

But in any case, your files fixed it, so thanks

How did you guys get it to work? i have not worked with the firetuner before, so i'm really new to this, i have tried to overwrite files in "firetuner" and in "Debug" but I still can't get it to work... i am able to work with the Uiunits panel and the player panel, but not with the worldbuilder or the unit panels provided by Skodkim!

did you enabled Firetuner in the AppOptions.txt located in Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI ? When you run Fire tuner does it connect or it say "Disconnected" in the bottom left? If it connects, do you go File -> open panel and select world builder? What exactly is not working btw

Yes the Firetuner is enabled in the Appoptions.txt - And yes it does say "connect" in the bottom corner :0) I can get the "Player" and "Uiunits" tabs to work, but not the files downloaded from Skodkim... in the top left corner where i can choose between "mainstate" - "Gamecore_Tuner" - "Ingame" etc... it's blank when i open the files from skodkim.

but do you have the new tab when you've done that : "File -> open panel and select world builder"

This tab?

 

[Gedemon]

yes, should be filled with data, does the original file works for you ?

 

[NicolaiDue]

This is exactly the same with the original files, and the player tab works (sometimes with errors) do i need to right click in the black space and edit the panel?

 

[Gedemon]

Are you using civ6 or civ5 Firetuner ?

 

[NicolaiDue]

Hahahahaha... i'm so sorry for wasting your time... never knew that there was a firetuner for Civ6 so i used the one for Civ5... so sorry and thank you for enlightning my civ6 experience.

Is there a panel for city / districts building? (Basically for District placing/building, since I can then buy with gold all buildings)

 

[pugnovic]

Hi.

When I use FireTuner and I click on Terrain Placement Enabled from WorldBuilder's panel, the sticker disappears! And I can't change terrain on map. The sticker disappears only for that option while the rest remains and I can change the other things.

how can I solve this problem?

 

[Palavos]

Saddenly I have a problem using the firetuner / WorldBuilder. Everything works except the terrain placement https://i.imgur.com/f9pQZD8.png

I cannot check the box to enable it. I check and it auto-uncheck I have not added any new mod or anything... Any idea why is this happening?

EDIT: I see the above poster also has same problem...

 

[Llednar Twem]

Did you both follow the instructions earlier in the topic? They weren't added to the opening post, but a solution to the auto-uncheck thing was provided a few posts in., and has been working fine for me. I did have a related question though: how do you use this to add a lake? Adding small patches of coast tiles doesn't result in them becoming lake tiles even on a reload, they just stay as "coast".

I also tried a couple other changes mainly just to see what happened, and these were the results:
Adding land to isolate a suitably small amount of existing coast still just leaves it as coast.
Existing lakes do not change even if coast is added to connect them to the ocean.

I'm not much of a programmer...in that I know literally nothing on the subject...but it seems like "lake vs coast" is determined during map generation and never checked again?

You might need to do an "AreaBuilder.Recalculate();"

I have not tried this method yet to see if it is valid outside of a map generation script so it might just throw up a nil function error.

But lakes are calculated based on the area-size of the water-body. Anything less than 10 contiguous tiles of TERRAIN_COAST are interpretted as lakes. The setting the number of tiles is in a global parameter. So if you connect an actual lake to sea but do not make the game recalculate the map's "Areas" it might not update itself for this.

As an fyi each lake waterbody and each sea waterbody is considered its own "area".

Continents are a little different in civ6. In civ5 each landmass was its own "area" (with each lake "area" contained on a given continent considered as its own animal), but I am not sure if this calculation of map areas holds true in civ6.

 

[Llednar Twem]

That seems to have done the trick. Between that command and a reload the small coast patches are now properly recognized as lakes. Thanks for the help!

Are you using civ6 or civ5 Firetuner ?

I'm using 6 and my panel looks the same.
