It will be in the conquest directory and be named with the same name as your data map. Quit out of Rise of Nations and open it up. While CtW loads up your new map, it will create an xml file that contains all of its settings. If it is not there, then your data map has been placed in the wrong directory. Use that menu to select the filename of your new map. You’ll notice that the top white box that normally says World Map is now a dropdown menu. Now start Rise of Nations and navigate to the CtW setup screen. Place the rendering map into the conquest/render maps directory. Place the colored data map into the conquest directory.
It can be modified however you’d like to make an attractive version of the map.
This new image will be used to draw the map on the screen. Make a copy of the map that you just created. This image will be used for generating scenarios and for the mouseover highlighting in Conquer the World. For best results, create an image that is the same size as the map included with Rise of Nations. Anti-aliasing will create different shades of your intended color and break the map. If you use a more robust editor like Photoshop, make sure to disable all anti-aliasing. For this reason, I recommend using the simplest of image editors like Paint. A single pixel that is even slightly the wrong color will make it unusable. There are a couple important rules about this process.Įach territory must have its own unique color.Įach territory must have a 1 pixel x 1 pixel black dot to indicate where its capital should be.įollowing these rules is the most difficult part of creating a new map. Make that a transparent layer and then trace it into a new layer. One clever way to do this in photoshop is to find a map image that you’d like to use. Thanks Big Huge Game For make to tutorial.
