europa dom2 map

lol I have been completely unaware of that !!!
that's why I modified the exe

but hupefully even that is not difficult at all,
I guess that's because Illwinter doesn't have an 'anti-cracking' policy
which is a good thing because an anti-cracking policy only increases development cost...
and if the game has some popularity, it will be cracked whatever the protections ...
it may take longer of course

Whismerhill: Thanks for untertaking to port The Old World from Dom1 to Dom2 - I always enjoyed playing on it.

And once you have it finished, it strikes me that either or both Shrapnel and Illwinter would be willing to host it.

pffffff
that'll take some time
having problems with dom2 hanging even without using auto-detect of provinces

Thats usually figured into the equation. Its rarely a wast of time. No law, punishment, copyright, security, protection ever stops anything. It can only make it as hard as possible, for as many as possible, for as long as possible. After all, thats why we lock our doors.

posting v0.58b of the file to nerfix actually
the file weight about 3.57Mb :/
because of the 2400x1800x24 tga inside

the image has been increased in size and some effects to smooth out pixels

58% done (approx.)

all neighbours set (if you see any error or something that might be added, be sure to check my first post on the rules I used first, and if it's still an error or a complete inbalance for some races then feel free to post here )

I'm having difficulties for settings flags
(not easy to choose with the pixeled nature of dominions 1 maps)

normally the file will be available on
DominionsX
as soon as the webmaster receives the file and has time to upload it


Questions I have (for whose who have the file)
province numbers :
58 <-> 80 ????? ON
70 <-> 73 ????? ON
60 <-> 66 ????? OFF
209 <-> 247 ????? OFF
240 <-> 230 ????? ON

ON : (actually I set a way between both but I don't know if really they could be considered neighbours)
OFF : (the way is not set should I put one ?)


another question about flags : province 21 : is it fresh water or salty water ? (I'd prefer an answer based on real information)

[Kristoffer O]

Fresh water means a land province with rivers or lakes. If the province is water only you should call it a sea.

well the province is not water only
but contains something like a big river/lake
but I'm not sure it's a river or lake

it could be an 'extension' of the sea
in that case the water is salty and cannot be considered 'fresh' in my opinion

as the map is based on real world ...

so to answer that question you must see the map first
