@HighRider101 — I'm sorry, but I haven't actually played Civ in like... years. And I haven't touched this mod in probably longer.

Can you add support so it works properly with Real Rivers mod/maps? Thanks! Amazing mod love it!

Looks like a great mod! But I use some of those maps it does not work with a lot. If I leave the mod enabled and try to use one of those maps, will there be problems? Or do I have to disable it when I want to use such a map?

Is there a way to apply it together with YnAMP mode?

I dont think this mod works together with the "Reduced Mountain Clumping" mod

I don't know. It runs a script, so if got lakes runs the same script one might override the other.

Compatible wit Got Lakes?

Great mod ! , thanks , great to be able to adjust rivers .

I slam all the slides almost all the way over, and suddenly, I've lots more usable space! This is great.

Thank you.

@Geoclasm I figured it out, it's their Detailed maps and Map+ that don't the standard maps actually still allow both.

@Keraunograf - Couldn't tell you, sorry :-/ They may use the same LUA script functions which means one would be overwriting the other. If that's true, there's nothing I can do about it.

This appears to conflict with Better Balanced Start in that the UI for BBS on game creation overwrites the UI for this, is there any way for them to be compatible?

@Everyone asking for an update - Finally updated. Sorry for slacking forever. Life, you know.
Anyway, I've tested with the official maps. In the description will be an exhaustive list of the map scripts with which the mod works, and those with which it does not work.

This mod is fantastic! But since a recent update I've been unable to see the option when using anything but the continents map. Please update, the game is so much better with this mod!

This mod is just amazing ! Thanks dude!!!!

This works for me on continents map, but does not show when selecting another option like archipelago and/or `continents + islands'

can we get an update to include the new highlands map

@GojiraTX - Then don't do that.

i think maxing out all of the river values causes the game to become woefully unstable. game crashes every time i try to load the game i did that in.

@2DSoul - Okay, I lied. It was actually a relatively simple procedure to expose river settings for all map scripts ( any FOO.lua ). The mod won't expose settings for maps that are pre-generated ( FOO.Civ6Map ). So if you add a map to the game, the map should see the river settings exposed.

@2DSoul - I'll also do some research to see if I can figure out a way to add maps using SQL rather than having to hard-code them... but not right now :-/

@2DSoul - Same. I changed it up so that it would work on all out of the box maps.
If you want to add your own maps you can localize the mod by cut-pasting it out of the Steam folder and adding them to the config.xml file. If you do that you'll want to unsubscribe from the steam version of the mod to prevent conflicts.

I love this mod.

Just wished it worked on all maps.

@rovert94 - Unfortunately the settings are only available on a few maps. I can provide the mod code so you can expand that in a local version.

@Geoclasm Awesome mod! One thing i noticed is the options seem to go away when I select a different map type. Can I set the values, then change the map or is there something else I can do?

Very nice, thanks for sharing this mod.

@Andu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ works on my computer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does this even work? i put everyting to max and it's same as vanilla.

The LUA file issue has been corrected and the mod LUA script now overloads the existing RiversLakes.lua script.

In addition, I've been spending some time examining the AddRivers function to try and better determine what it does.

From what I have been able to tell, the function defines a set of pass conditions to determine if it should try to create a river. If a selected plot passes the defined condition, in addition to a few other conditions, the script attempts to create a river at that location.

Most of these values cannot be changed. There is a value used to get a random number in the conditions that then is used to determine if a river should be generated on a non coastal plot. In the default script there is a 1 in 8 chance of this happening. I will be exposing this value to allow for an increased chance in rivers generating from non coastal plots.

Other than this, I will try to explain in the description what the settings do based on my understanding.

Until I am able to correct the lua file issue ( google has revealed nothing, it's like all this stuff is being kept secret or something -.-; ), those who want to use this mod can make it actually do something by appending the following to the AddRivers method of the RiversLakes.lua file.

local riverSourceRangeDefault = MapConfiguration.GetValue("river_source_range") or 4;
local seaWaterRangeDefault = MapConfiguration.GetValue("sea_water_range") or 3;
local plotsPerRiverEdge = MapConfiguration.GetValue("plots_per_river_edge") or 12;

print("Map Generation - Adding Rivers Using River Settings.");

you can find the RiversLakes.lua files ( 2 of them ) in the Base/Assets/Maps/Utility folder and, GS users, DLC/Expansion2/Maps/Utility.

I owe an apology. This mod does nothing right now as it's not making use of the LUA file included in the mod ( RiversLakes.lua ). So any effects you are seeing are a placebo. I am working to correct the issue.

Sorry about that.

Thank you. I've been changing the base code for a while now to achieve the same effect. Gets old quick with the constant Piraxis updates. The base code often handicaps with inadequate rivers, driving me to frequent restarts. Your mod makes that obsolete, plus making it much easier to experiment with other combos. Should have been part of the base code from day 1 imnsho.

@BostonBongRips Nope. I wish I understood them. I found a thread on CivFanatics that explains them in a cursory sense. I only exposed them so people can play around with them. If you find something interesting ( like rivers everywhere ) feel free to post it here.

As for the CivFanatics post - https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/any-way-of-increasing-rivers.604651/

Very cool, can you explain what each setting actually does to the map?

Many thanks

oh ok thx alot

@Don: Only works with a few of the maps in the game ( Seven Seas, Archipelago, Continents, Small Continents, Shuffle, Fractal, InslandSea, Island Plates and Pangaea ).

Also, the City Islands map script I created. Try subbing to that ( you don't need to use it ) and see if that works.

I don't know how to make it work with every map.

cant use it even tho enabled wont show up in settings

@Austin001: Done.

Pics pls
