The most annoying thing with modding the map is the complete lack of error messages.Īlthough you can logically work out why parts may be crashing, the game will almost never output any useful information about the map when it crashes. If you managed to import your own border models, then I surpose that using a square map could look good. Whilst a square map is possible, due to the lack of borders (ala CK2) the map tends to look bad. Having a map smaller than that width will cause tiling. I recommend you make the map width 2048 no matter what. You can go slightly above these values, but any drastic increase tends to not work. The largest possible map generally is 5632 by 2048, or the vanilla map size.
However, using widths smaller than 2048 causes the game to look very buggy, since the map will tile multiple times. If you are using GIMP or Paint.NET, I am unsure whether or not they have an equivilant plugin. The tools are easy to install if you have Photoshop. To open and save these images, you need to use NVIDIA Texture Tools. Several files, such as colourmap_autumn.dds and such use the dds format. Hopefully the information contained here will help. Modding the map in Europa Universalis can be very difficult, especially when you run into errors.
