Venice islands in map editor?

[rphillips1986]

I've successfully made a few maps and played them with the Venice add on, but it seems there are islands in the Venice add on that I can't access in the map editor. Is there a way to remedy this?

Hello!

Just to make sure I understand correctly - the map does not include the islands from the Venice add on, is that correct?

I've tried looking into this for you and it appears to be intended behaviour, you will only have the islands from the original game. However, I will forward your feedback to our Anno team to see if this can be added in the future.

Enjoy your day!

Yes, that is correct. The venice addon has a few larger islands that would be nice if they were included in the map editor

No worried rphillips1986, we will pass this onto the Anno team as a request.

We do not have a particular feedback forum for History Edition unlike our Anno 1800 feedback forum, but you are welcome to contribute to our Anno History Edition forum if you can think of any other additions you would like to see to the series -

So if you look at the file where the editors are you will find Worldeditor2addon user content you have to open up that file and it will allow you to use venice maps. however when i tried i had to create a file under documents folder venic. i had it all set up at one point then my harddrive died now i can't remeber exactly how the file name had to be nor can i even get the editor to run at all keep getting a error message " The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_40 .dll was not found . says to reinstall but that didn't work ither. anyone got sugguestions

Hey Seafolf, thanks for reaching out about this. Remember to make new topics when encountering an issue (I know this one was a bit connected, but it's still quite different from what rphillips1986 was asking). No big deal, though :)

For your d3dx9_40.dll issue, it sounds like DirectX isn't working as it should. Please try updating DirectX to the latest version - you'll find a guide from Microsoft on how to do that here[support.microsoft.com].

If that doesn't work, please also try a system file scan. Microsoft has another guide on how to perform that here[support.microsoft.com].

If neither of those work, please also try verifying your game files - guide is here.

If that doesn't work either, come back to me and I'll see what else we can suggest.

Hi,

Is there any reason why only part of the game's content then can be used in the map editor? Would it be possible to get that added - i mean the custom maps is were the longevity is for some of us...

Exactly! It can't be too much work to add them either. Lets see it done!
