Map Editor for Age of History 3

[Łukasz Jakowski 13,053]

I added a special jar file to the first post that allows you to add only cities to the map.
Here's how it works:

 

How to add city:
MapEditor_2_Cities.jar should be in the same folders as MapEditor_2.jar

# Step 1:
Just copy any text.
Ctrl + C

# Step 2:
Click on the map in MapEditor_2_Cities to set the location of the city.

# Step 3:
Enter!

Will you make a tool to generate provinces directly from pictures? aoh2 seems to have a similar tool, but it is not good enough.

yes:

Instead of drawing provinces for the modern world, it will transfer official borders with map scaling. A better map editor can be written.

After all, these svgs can be converted to png.
or can be recolored with fill.

It can already be a bit effortless with the program above.

BackgroundSize_X: 0,

It can't be 0. If you want to use only one image, it should be:

BackgroundSize_X: 1,
BackgroundSize_Y: 1,

 

Image name: 0_0.png

 

For two images like it was in AoH2 it would be:

BackgroundSize_X: 2,
BackgroundSize_Y: 1,

 

Image name: 0_0.png

Image name: 0_1.png

## The width of every single image should be the same!
## The height of every single image should be the same!

## The width and height may be different.

 

Read: MapEditorSettings.txt file, there is more tips!

 

 

BackgroundSize_X: 3,
BackgroundSize_Y: 2,

 

Image name: 0_0.png

Image name: 0_1.png

Image name: 0_2.png

 

Image name: 1_0.png

Image name: 1_1.png

Image name: 1_2.png

What the meaning for cropping the image? I dont get it right, this is for optimization, like optimizations regions in AoH2? How many divides each side needed?

you cropped the image to pieces your rendering a large image image its more memory efficient to render parts the image instead of one entire image

So, the more, the better?

I'll make a big provinces mode in the background of the game but I need the background of the game

[Diego 126]

I have a question, why does it add a 0 at the end of the city name each time i open the city editor

It works almost the same as the old one, but is more convenient.

If you want, you can now create a province map in this map editor and once the game is released, your map will be playable in the game.

 

You can save the province by clicking Enter and continue adding another new province.

You can remove a province and add another one in its place by clicking "J". Do not close the editor until all deleted provinces have been added.

 

 

CUT_FROM_PROVINCE_MODE=true

New special version of the map, provinces created in this mode will crop the images of the main provinces.

 

All provinces are stored in one file: MapName/data/ProvincePoints.json

No more strange files with numbers like in AoH 2.

 

One tip: make map backgrounds larger than in AoH2, so your map will have more details.

For example with width: 6000 px or 8000 px or even more.

The main map for AoH3 will be: 17760 px width x 8600px height

 

Read: MapEditorSettings.txt file, there is more tips!

 

The map editor will also be included in the game files.

City editor updated in first post

[Basilio Paleologo 104]

Is there no function to create map images with Province files? I wish and need I had this function.

[Mehmed VII 0]

Is there anyway I can get AOH3 early acess, or works as an admin??

[goodgod 0]

Can this editor also be used in aoc2?

[angamo123 137]

Cities file is not .json?

City file is JSON for the 3rd game

in reality it would actually work with aoh2. since it's practically unchanged.

look at this comparison.

only inconvenient would be changing the "cities" file every once in a while. (ej. cities_1 to cities_3), but it pretty much works.

it should be updated to java 8, because java jdk 21 doesnt support 32 bit devices

32bit is quite... really obsolete on these days.

[YouravaragebrazilianAoCfan 244]

now we need a existing map converter and a 

scenario converter but that might be too much

but not work won't launch error

Error: Could not find or load main class MapEditor_2.jar

Maybe you make new program auto image map to 0_0 0_1 0_2 0_3 1_0 1_1 1_2 1_3? (Map Converter Full Image to 0_0 0_1.. etc)

if its backgroud size 0 it means there is no background

[YouravaragebrazilianAoCfan 244]

after i exited map editor all the provinces dissapeared 

help?

What's the difference between the "main" and "MapEditor" backgrounds? Should they necessarily be different? Which one should be used when creating provinces? Both of these backgrounds are displayed side by side in the editor, which is somewhat confusing.

Main background is the one you will be using in game and map editor is the line map essentially

[YouravaragebrazilianAoCfan 244]

if there is no AoC2 map on AoC3 i have made one since the AoC2 Map editor has the AoC2 default provinces so i just copy and pasted it all so when i get AoC3 and see the AoC2 map ill just post it
