Positions Editor 2022-05-21

Changes:

• Updated to work with newer games that store positions as lists of coordinates.

In other words, the positions editor now works with CK2 and newer games. Most of these games have a built-in "nudge" tool, which is why I never bothered to support them in the past. But it came to my attention that March of the Eagles uses the newer positions.txt format but does not have a nudge tool. So this is a MotE release.

0.9.7 beta 5

Changes since 0.9.7 beta 4:

• Implemented a set of map modes to see all areas, regions, super-regions, or continents at once instead of selecting one at a time. This mode is only available in EU4 and Victoria 2 for now, since CK2 doesn't really use areas and I can't verify HOI3 or HOI4.
• Added arrowheads to the lines in EU4's trade mode. Should make it easier to see the direction of trade flow.

0.9.7 beta 4

• Fixed simple terrain mode in EU4

0.9.7 beta 3

Changes since 0.9.7 beta 2:

New simple terrain mapmode!
This mapmode shows any provinces whose terrain is explicitly defined, rather than being derived from terrain.bmp. In EU4 it uses the overrides lists in terrain.txt; in CK2 and V2 it uses province history files.

Improved CK2 support:

• Editor now correctly parses sea zones from default.map
• Editor no longer hangs in title mode when a title is defined in history as its own liege
• Editor can once again find province entries inside save games
• Editor no longer attempts to parse .info files inside common folders

Fixed an issue causing Victoria 2 map mods to not be loaded correctly when default.map points to "../<modname>/map/definition.csv".

0.9.7 beta 2

Changes since 0.9.7 beta 1:

Main window:

• Added two new buttons:
  • Blink selected province(s): Helpful if you want to double check you have the right provinces selected.
  • Copy selected province ID(s): Sorts and copies the IDs of the selected provinces to the clipboard. Also blinks the provinces to acknowledge success.
• Improved the submenus for views. All of them should now be sorted, and the maximum number of items per submenu is increased to 30 so there should be fewer submenus overall.
• Fixed error log message on startup when parsing a Lua file and encountering a comment that starts at the beginning of a line.

Editor dialog:

• Implemented case-insensitive search, finally
• The editor dialog's handy province/country/culture lists now actually work
• Fixed crash when running on Java 15

General:

• Mods that use an absolute path are now handled correctly
• More logging instead of crashing when mapmodes have errors

0.9.7 beta 1

Changes since 0.9.6:

• Improved error handling dramatically. Most errors should no longer result in crashes. More errors are now logged also.
• Fixed a couple of issues that caused improper parsing of EU4 saves.
• Fixed an issue with CK2 history loading.
• EU4 saves now treat "fake_owner" the same as "owner" for provinces.
• Fixed a crash bug in the capitals view mode.

0.9.4 beta 2

Fixed crash when a trade node has no member provinces.
CK2 default.map sea zone definition (multiple lists of sea_zones) is now supported.
CK2 river provinces are now treated as non-land provinces.

0.9.4 beta 3

CK2 titles are now read from the common\landed_titles folder, not just common\landed_titles.txt.

0.9.4 beta

Fixed crash when a region definition includes an area which is not defined. This comes up a lot in map mods that are still in progress.
Improved support for Crusader Kings 2:

• Title mode now works on saved games.
• An edited CK2 save is now saved with the correct "CK2txt" token at the beginning of the file.

0.9.3 beta

Updated YAML localization parsing for EU4 1.17.
Save file names are now remembered between launches.
