Mod in progress

[Synapse]

Hi I'm currently making a mod I would like help with a few things:

The Coastline drawing app is very very difficult to use as there is no zoom facility and the mod-utility doesnt work. What is the best way to create coastline file?

How do I create travel node and AI markers and citys etc? How do I upload my map to the utility?

How do I make each players waters? I tried using the eyedropper tool but it was recognising the grey 'sea' as land as a place to put silos.

Thanks for help with all these queries.

You can use The Modsuite for creating coastlines, borders and cities, but I assume that's what you're referring to as the mod-utility. You should probably post an error message or something in that thread.

There's a modding wiki which should answer your other questions.

[Synapse]

yes, the modsuite. how do i use it?

[zach]

There's a readme.txt, and you should really post questions about it in the modsuite thread.

[Synapse]

Yes but the readme isnt helpful at all, for example it says a square bmp yet no map is square so it doesnt tell you how to do this

and I want help with various things not just the modsuite.

[zach]

You will have to resize your map to a square bitmap, just like the example one supplied with the modsuite. As said, the modsuite can be used for coastlines, borders and cities.

You can read about travel_nodes.bmp, sailable.bmp and ai_markers.bmp in this thread.

Enjoy

Link to what?

[Synapse]

Your 'this thread' link doesnt work.

[zach]

My bad (although you could have specified instead of just saying "link?" ).
