Default Re: Dynatherms Connected!

the rgb file is all you need to play the game. The map file would allow you to start your own games on the Kingmaker map.

That is not being allowed at this time as 4 races have specific starting locations, and everyone would know them if the map file was released. Two races KO said needed specific starting spots, and 2 water races that struggle to get on land were started in the biggest body of water.

Default Bad News About the Map...

Is it just me, or are the provinces on the left/right edges of the map not wrapping around?

No they are not wrapping around. And there seems to be about a 30 pixel gap there too.

Construction is not changed by the spell mod, since it messes up the even/odd symmetry if you can't move the items (and you can't). Could've changed the spells anyway, and left the odd-numbered levels empty, but decided not to do so.

I did the *artwork* on the map, and the technical work needed to make it wrap. I acknolwedge that the artwork was not as nice as it might have been - but it's functional. Anyone who wishes to pretty the image file up can do so; people can swap images out mid-game with no problems as long as the white province pixels don't move.

The start assignments were all done by Xietor so blame him for the problems there

E/W wrap would've required me to change province #s *if* I had added provinces in the gutter. Since I didn't, I suppose I could've done E/W wrap instead, but N/S was safer.

So we are restarting? I have finally managed to download all the right mods and maps to make the game work.

The game had my old pretender in as well The new one seemed to be accepted yesterday but didn't make it in to the game.
