Hi,

Playing a Huge Earth map with only 8 players felt a little empty, so I investigated how to get 10 players working on custom maps and I will describe 2 ways to get it working on your own maps.

1) The old-school way (using winzip and notepad):

Add or edit <Item> entries in Save.hms and make sure the flags are correctly set to make them 9 or 10 players valid spawns.

For each item, the <Flags> encodes 1 << player counter:

You just need to add those values for the player count you want:

ie. 512 + 256 + 128 = 896, meaning that this coordinate will be used as a spawn point for 10, 9, or 8 players

Then simply edit the Descriptor.hmd file and edit <EmpireCount>

2) The easy way (using only bhkmap):

- Run bhkmap >= 0.52
- Import your map, 
- In the "Spawn" tab edit you already existing spawns for 8 players so that they can also work for 9 or 10 players (if you wanna create new ones, skip this part it's just to go faster)

- In the "Display" tab display the spawns for 10 players. You should already have 8 if you've done the previous step:

- Click "Add spawn point" twice, and flag one with "9 players|10 players" and the other one with "10 players". Don't forget to enter coordinates for them as they default to (0,0)
- Export your map 

Et voilà :)

Sweet! I'll give it a try this week and upload some new updates to the map :D

Hallo, ich finde es toll, dass es jetzt eine Möglichkeit gibt 10 Spieler Karten zu erstellen, aber ehrlich gesagt hilft mir deine Anleitung nicht weiter. Bei Option 1 finde ich die Dateien einfach nicht im temporären Ordner und bei Option 2 werden so viele verschiedene Programme verwendet, dass ich keinen Plan habe, wie es weitergehen soll, leider helfen mir auch die verlinkten Anleitungen nicht weiter.
