Devs or Mapmakers
 

When Setting the Terrain what is '0'.
It is not in the mapkit.
I don't understand exactly how the terrain numbers work. Can anyone explain for me?

Thanks,

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That mapkit was sent to me way early when Dom2 was still mostly a dream. There is much in that mapedit file that needs (and hopefully is being) updated. The full copy of the game will come with a new one Im sure.

Terrains are added with the mapedit feature (full Version only). A click on 'forest' enters a #terrain 4 or some other value.

I do not have the numbers in my head, but the terrain is a sum of binary numbers.

Size
Small/Large (normal = default)

Terrains
Mountain, forest, farmland, waste, swamp, sea, lake/river

Example #terrain 42 9 means province 42 has terrain features 4, 3, 2 (perhaps = large, mountain, forest)

There might be more. Make a map with a single province and change the number to find out what happens. I didn't have time to go through the code to find what numbers are what. In the full Version there is no need for this procedure (unless you are making random maps of course) as a simple click enters the terrain.

We will need to have those numbers but this crowd has been good at finding by experimentation and posting the charts. Dont worry about it. Go ahead and work on the next thing.

[thinking mode] Hmmm lets see. Program a loop of 0-255? assign each to a province and give ownership of those provinces to me as a player. enter the game and use the province info to get the results..... Yeah someone should be able to do that.

Id get bored too fast to make anything useful out of it. Im afraid that figuring out how something can be done is usually about as close as I get.
(as if my web site didnt already give that impression). Someone want to take this and run with it? Anyone? Anyone?

Re: Devs or Mapmakers
 

I can speed things up a bit by cutting in a bit from the mapedit manual.

1=small, 2=large, 4=sea, 8=rivers, 16=mountain, 32=swamp, 64=waste, 128=forest and 256=farm.

A terrain with the value zero is the default terrain, medium size, plains and above sea level.

P.S. Gandalf, I was joking.
