Large maps---world views?

[Zen]

I decided to post this thread in this forum as I believe it most likely that modders will come across this feature/bug, and not your standard Civ IV player.

I was wondering if anyone else out there has noticed that with large maps (over 130 in the Y-axis) when you go to the larger world-views (with clouds) of the map, all of the terrain turns black and you can't make anything out.
Feet told me about this problem first, and I have it as well on my computer.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please let me know.

Is there any chance this may be addressed in a patch?

thanks,

Hi all,

I believe the problem is limited to 129 plots and above for some reason.

0 to 127 works fine (I guess) since that is a total of 128 plots and works fine.

0 to 128 doesn't work since that is a total of 129 plots.

I hope that helps someone to solve this problem, though I suspect that t'll only be solvable once the SDK is released.

One solution to this problem is using Harkonnen's unofficial patch.

The patch solved the black screen problem I had on world view.

Really?!?

Now that's interesting!

Cheers for that Zen, I'll have to take another look.
