-Resolved- How do I place my background map in the editor?
Hello,
I saw on some tutorials that you could place a background map in the editor,
which makes it easier to follow your map when you edit.
Could you explain to me how?
Thank you

@bartofer
Yes you can! But it is a bit complicated to describe in words,
so I will ask a couple of questions instead!
Are we talking about the standalone Bartoland map? If so, in which scale is it mapped?
If not, are we talking about an addon type of map or a standalone and in which scale?
Let's start there and maybe go further when I know what's it all about!

But is that not a fictional map? I have taken a look at the map background you
have in game, where is that taken from?

This is a basemap I made from Photoshop,
the .dds files are in material / ui / map

Re: How do I place my background map in the editor?
In "material", I created the .dds, .tobj and .mat files
I added the editor.data.sii file in "def",
after modifying it:
bcg_map_name: "/map/bartoland.mbd"
bcg_material: "/material/editor/bartoland.mat"
bcg_size_x: 210000
bcg_size_y: 210000
bcg_offset_x: 0
bcg_offset_y: 0
But, by pressing "A", I still do not have access to the map background in the editor ...

Okay, give me the values of the following data.
1. Exact size of the DDS image.
2.The compression format you used on the DDS image.
3. Scale of the map.
4. The REAL distance between a point on the left edge of the image to the right edge, in kilometers.
5. Same for the vertical length of the image.
If that doesn't reveal what the problem is give me the DDS and I'll try to get it running for you.

I assume you use Bartoland as the name of the map also when editing, -edit Bartoland?

Yes, of course:
