Each block will either be filled with black, to signify that it should be transcribed, or kept transparent to prevent copying.Ī) A separate text file should be included to describe what pixel on the big map (0, 0) isī) Transcription is described only blocks of 32x32. Version 0.1 of the Map Editor Photoshop File Specificationsĭivided into blocks of 32x32 pixels. To add comments, either use # for a whole line, or add extra semicolons This means that when the editor sees the color with the R value of 24, the G value of 85, and the B value of 24, it will know that the province is number 5. This step cannot yet be doneĥ) Use BoundBoxMaker to make boundbox.tblĦ) Delete navaldist.tbl, and let the game recreate itĮDIT: To begin planning for lightmap editing: Make a list of provinceIds and colors like so: If you want to test it now, point it to the current lightmap1, and get the new boundbox.tbl file.Ģ) Use AdjacentMaker to make adjacent.tblģ) Use OverlayMaker to make index.tbl and tiles.bmpĤ) Use the tool to make the lightmaps. Maxprovince for HoI is 2608, for Vicky is 2864 In Photoshop, is it possible to extract a layer into its own image, and then slice that image into 117 columns of 256 pixels, and then save each slice into a separate file? Note that the numbers can be different, I am just asking if it is easy to do such things.Īfter editing your lightmaps, you can run this to generate boundbox.tbl So if there are 100 provinces, even if province 100 has no connections there must be a line: If a province has no connections, you can omit it from the fileīUT the maxprovince number MUST be inside the file (How else would the program know how many provinces there are?

There is no need to arrange the IDs in order

You can have as many ids after A as you want, separated by a semicolon Lines with # as the first character will be skipped You need a textfile listing the adjacencies in this format: This will make adjacent.tbl, which will later be used for creating the lightmaps Announcement (copypasted from HoI thread)
