-Resolved- How do I place my background map in the editor?

Thank you!

EDIT: I have now your background loaded into the Editor together with the map data
you have created in v2.0 of Bartoland map mod. Your problem is that you use capital
letter B in some places, but not all, it is essential. As you use Bartoland.mbd and start
the editor by -edit Bartoland, it is needed in /def/editor_data.sii that you also use
bcg_map_name: "/map/Bartoland.mbd" there. You don't need to change anything with
bcg_material: "/material/editor/bartoland.mat" if that's the name you use. Good Luck
now and if it still doesn't work I have a Map Editor Background mod ready for you here.
A very good rule is to ONLY use lowercase letters in EVERY file name references in the
game, but now you already have the capital ones here and there.

BTW, if the sizes you specified was 200km and that is correct, then you should
change both size specifications in editor_data.sii to 200000 NOT 210000 for the
BG to be in 1:1 scale!

I filled in with a capital letter, but that doesn't change anything ...

bcg_map_name: "/map/Bartoland.mbd"
bcg_material: "/material/editor/bartoland.mat"
bcg_size_x: 200000
bcg_size_y: 200000
bcg_offset_x: 18000
bcg_offset_y: -3000

Earlier the parameters below was like this and those values are what I used.

Code: Select all

	bcg_map_name[]: "/map/Bartoland.mbd"
	bcg_material[]: "/material/editor/bartoland.mat"
	bcg_size_x[]: 200000
	bcg_size_y[]: 200000
	bcg_offset_x[]: 0
	bcg_offset_y[]: 0

Your values will shift the BG. Is that why you can't see it?

Well, I had NO problems with those values and with the naming of files
you have in v2.0 of the map! Check all file references so that they do
correspond regarding spelling with/without capital B. And always try
to hit A a couple of times when getting into the Editor, but you know
that already!

I just changed all my Bartoland to bartoland (lowercase),
deleted the files in base_map and saved with lowercase,
compilation, and .... nothing .....

Oh. I found the problem ... a link in my .mat file was not good ...
I now have my map in the background, but not in the right place ...
more than a calibration to do .. ..
Thank you

Ah, good to know. Maybe the other OFFSET values are more correct now then!
