Question about mod tools and techniques

[Nico]

I think you'd better first watch/read some tutorials before just doing something.... that will make it alot easier, instead of trying stuff without the rigfht config:

Map modding document (this was the only thing available when I started, so this is the only thing I used!!!


Later I made a video, basically doing the same as in the document.

Guess you had to read alittle back for tutorials

and it gets 'stuck' here

I have done all the things you did in the video, so that's why I posted this.
I hope now the 'confusion' is gone and you can explain me what went wrong (I dont have any mods in my mod file right now).

Two questions:

Did you make the base/map file?
Did you run the game as admin?

[Olaf1998]

Did you run the game as admin?

Did it now, now it saves but it doesn't want to load the same map again -_-
(I did it the same way you did in the video)

[Nico]

Guess not because than you would know that you first had to make a mod of it (last 5-8 min)

I indeed had it the first time wrong, now I have made a mod from it and placed it in the mod file.
But i still doesn't work, I don't have any other map mods/mods in the mod file

I would suggest to reinstall the game, then do like the tutorial says. If it's doesn't work, then seach after another tutorial. If you get the same result, then... i don't really know actually

Also, Nico, after a break of map modding i gave the "köping problem" another try of solving, but the city still doesn't show up on the bloody city list again! So annoying it's just mental
So i got a question: Did you encounter any problems making the definitions for Jönköping, Malmö, Göteborg and Linköping? If there was, then how did you fix them? Since all of the cities contain the word ö and it isn't allowed in the city.mod.sii file. You could also show up the content of the .sii files if you want to

[ScuL]

SII files containing ö must be saved in UTF-8 format

[sw3gameboy]

SII files containing ö must be saved in UTF-8 format

Then how do i save the SII file in UTF-8?

[MandelSoft]

If you use Notepad to edit SII files, you can change the format when you save the file. Normally, this format is ASCII, but you need to set that to UTF-8.

I learned the hard way when assigning Linköping...
