Could you post the SCS file here, so I can look into it?

What do you mean by 'SCS file'?
Where can I find it?

It's the archive you packed your map mod in.

I got a question. If I were to edit the standard map and to use the background map that can be found in the game files. How do I get the background map to match the in-game map?

We use a custom map background, which is not included in the public release. What you can do, is to open "/def/editor_data.sii" and set the background underlay position and dimension to the standard values:

Code: Select all

	bcg_size_x[]: 207656
	bcg_size_y[]: 174375
	bcg_offset_x[]: 10500
	bcg_offset_y[]: -7090
That should fix it, sorta.

Best,
MandelSoft

When using those standard values I get this:

As you can see according to the map IJmuiden is in Bremerhaven. XD

Hmmm... odd. It should work, but then again, fitting the background map is a pain, even for experienced modders.
