Help for modding needed

Are the provinces on realms and base.bmp at exactly same places? that might be the problem?I don't think, this would be the problem. Once I tried editing introrealms.bmp I took only unshapely blobs on the map and it "worked" that way. Well it was still shown wrong, but it seems, those blobs had nothing to do with failing here.

May be Frujin could tell us something about this? :angel:

but I guess that introrealms.bmp is something little diferent. You don't need it to interact with the game as much as the political map.

I tried making completely new map and I think the proportions are somehow important too.

Hope Frujin could tell us something...:angel:

I don't undrestand. I made 2 maps, one very simple and the second is the Middle East map

for bothe I made maps for political map. With the simple map it loked like on Sverrir's screenshots
the second politmap couldn't even load (nothing happens when clicking on politmap icon, while everything is done the same way :silly:

does anyone have any news?

to be honest I was too busy in my other life of mine (yes, the normal) so I didn't have much time to experiment here.

But I PMed Frujin and still I hope there will be some reply. At least to give us some basic info where is the problem, I believe later when we know what is the problem we can solve it, but we need to localize the problem :sad:

No, I can't say any new tings about this topic too. And I didn't experiment again here as well.

Some exams are coming up and I need to start preparing, which slows things down considerably, but I'll look into this as soon as possible.

I stil hope Frujin could help us somehow...

at least to localize the problem

I already know why opening and saving the file fails and I could read a file, do nothing and save it on my own in a manner that KoH loads the file correctly. (The basic problem is that KoH writes the file rotated by 180°, watch closely and you see how the map was basically rotated around Hungary, with some distortions because KoH tries to match a rotated realmmap to a not rotated map. There are some other differences to a normal .bmp file, but nothing major.)
I also know some basics about the realm-maps, like where the number of each province goes, but unfortunately that is only a part of the file.
It's a bit playing quiz. I hope I can figure some more information out so I can start modifying files - that way you learn the quickest.
