Creating your own maps for Entrepreneur.


It's actually pretty easy to create your own maps for Entrepreneur if you are familiar with PCX's and palettes.  If you're not, you may experience serious pain.

Recommended software: Paint Shop Pro or Corel Draw or Photo Shop or Deluxe Paint

Step 1:
Create a generic PCX image that is this resolution: 3512x2196

Step 2:
Create your map with each region being a different color.  You must create your regions in the order of the pallete.  Index 0 is water, index 1 = region 1, index 2 = region 2.  You must do it in order, you can't have index 6 not have a region to it so be careful.  Also, you must have at least 40 regions.  You can have up to 80 or more regions (technically you can have up to 100 regions).

Step 3:
Run mapencw on the pcx as follows:
mapencw <mapname.pcx> <mapname.emp>

Step 4:
Create the .reg file which is just a text file in which you name the regions.
