The only thing I can see funky is the town belief and belief cap. Those values are multiplied by 1000. Maybe they're too high.

Maybe the landscape is the problem Have you tried that script on another landscape?
 
I think I made that mistake once before (set the belief to 1000 or something) and it just scaled it down to 9999.  But I could be wrong, I've got a horrible memory.  Either way you should probably change it.

Also... I'm not sure if this matters (but it did on version 1.0)...

CREATE_VILLAGER_POS("2626.25, 2832.50", "2566.83, 2866.09", "FARMER", 18)
CREATE_VILLAGER_POS("2626.25, 2832.50", "2626.25, 2832.50", "HOUSEWIFE", 18)

You should put the tribe and a semicolon before farmer and housewife.  For example, JAPANESE_FARMER.  I know that crashes it but I am not sure it's the only problem or not.
 
Yes your ideas did work i thank you for the help, also theres other problems...

The map when you zoom in and out keeps going odd with pieces missing.

And your creature wont move when you load it.
 
I have no idea about the pieces missing one, but the creature (I think...) won't move when the temple's not on a completely flat area.  It'll just freeze up.

I'm not sure about that, though. =/
 
Your temple will cerate a flat area around itself  if the temple origin is on dry land.
 
Im quitting my maps glitch too much villagers chill out and do nothing creatures cant fight and also the land keeps going funny im dreading if i was to make another map so il be quitting unless i can solve these problems...
 
I suggest going go to the simple editing of the maps that came with the game.
 
Landscapes  tend to create problems so until you get going properly use only the ones that work well on other existing maps.
 
So far the maps are fine there pretty good detail i wonder if its my game...
 
I think i know what is the problems...

The land glitches because when i clear the map i still get black areas of which still come up from where the mountains were.

Another reason being that the creatures were neutral and were too small to fight.

Villagers didnt have any fields or any woods, fishfarms etc to have jobs in the first place,

il keep up to date if these are the bugs as for know i will test this threy and experiment into devolpment.
 
Most theroys are right but i still dont know why my map glitches, by going crooked and funny etc...
 
dont quit making maps zigmar, youve made quite a name for yourself at the LH boards.


keep trying and things will work out
 
Have you tried using BWSurveyor rather than SculptEd? ???
 
I am using that surveror program, and havoc compared to other people theres more legends in the making than me...
 
Could you post in your own language as well/also.
The mechanical translator mangled / trashed / ruined your last post.
Some of us could maybe make more sence of your problem.
 
i never called you a legend  :laugh2

i just said youve made quite a name for yourself lol
 
what i was meant to say that people are better than me lol!
