.map and Map editor discrepancy

[Gandalf Parker]

Actually the #nostart was in first.
I think its probably a good thing to bring up to Johan that the editor should recognize both.

Any thoughts on the neighbors issue?

Did you check both province number starts in the map file? If you have, say, provinces 92 and 141 adjacent, the neighborhood command is going to be either
#neighbor 92 141
or
#neighbor 141 92

It's one or the other, not both. How the game decides neighbors is unknown to me. Could be dependent on which province you first linked to the other.

Indeed, I checked both spots, and this is the Cradle map that shipped with the game, not one I created. I believe the province is 99 (or perhaps another--over on the east side of the map, at any rate), which has more neighbors when you examine it in the map editor than are listed in the .map file.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it. There's a smiley icon made specifically for that obsolete cradle version:

Just checked province 99, and 4 neighbors are listed, and 4 show up in the map editor.

86, 89, 97 & 107

Are you seeing something different?

It does look like 109 & 99 should be neighbors however.

It's probably a different province, then. I'll double-check in a bit. I'd be happy to be wrong about this!
