G'day to you all! And a cookie to boot!
Yes, I just got here (with the game and all), and I was playing around with everyone's favourite file "const.txt". On any occasion, I was trying to play Omnigod's beautiful maps, but to no avail, I could not. You see, I changed the settings for gigantic map size (like the attached readme said) and every time I tried loading a random map in the editor, it would crash. With further testing, I found that only the maps which were of 1:2 ratio would work correctly. I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem, or perhaps even a solution (I really want to play those 210x210 maps!)

Hi!
Well, I made a 400x400 world map (based on OmniGod's earth map)
and this map works perfect! I played 378 turns with
"my" map and no crash happened. After you have downloaded
the map at
http://www.crede.ch/ctp2/ctp2earthmap.zip
you have to place the files in the subfolder "Scenarios/WorldMaps/SCEN0001"
Also you have to modify the file "scenario.txt" file:
The last number represents the number of scenarios in the
subfolder "WorldMaps". That is: If there are two subfolders
(SCEN0000 and SCEN0001) the number has to be 2!
Change also the following line in "const.txt":
#
# These map size settings must all be defined,
# and in this order
#
MAP_SIZE_SMALL 26 52 2
MAP_SIZE_MEDIUM 48 96 2
MAP_SIZE_LARGE 64 128 2
-------------------------------------------------
THIS line below has to be changed:
MAP_SIZE_GIGANTIC 200 400 2
-------------------------------------------------
The original values were:
(MAP_SIZE_GIGANTIC 70 140 2)
Have a nice day!

Well, thanks for all your advice. However. . . none of it worked! I did all that, and still, the game crashes when I import or just start with a "square" map. But on the up-side . . . ONCE it worked (computers are dumb) I never exactly changed anything, I don't know. But I guess I'll just have to chance the crash. I'm running on a 350 Mhz processor with 192 megs of ram. Remember, I have successfully loaded a 400 x 800 map, yet the square maps are always full of trouble. I tried loading a 210x210 map from the "scenarios" menu, but it crashed to desktop still. For some reason it has worked for me once when I changed nothing. I'll look into it more tonight.

The problem may be which map_size you call 210x210 compared to me... I believe that I used gigantic for that. The other problem might be just a difference that skorpion was talking about a long while back. The only solution to that is to import the map which requires me to post the new text maps. My suggestion is to change gigantic and load the editor, if that fails then you when you load the editor load it with another map size and once you get into the editor just load the map. It should resize your world to the 210x210 size. If not then I'll post the txt maps sometime tonight after I'm done TA'ing.
