About This File
This is a map of the Hobart Metropolitan Area.
Using USGS SRTM data, with a small amount of retouching (to physically disconnect some areas that were joined on the data but not in real life, this map is a fairly accurate representation of Hobart.
It's not perfect, of course but it's quite close.
This map requires beskhu3epnm's plugin pack, which can be found here.
To use this map:
{C}1) Place one of the 1500m mods in your plugin folder, and remove any other height mod plugins.
2) Create a new folder called Hobart, or whatever you choose to call your region in your ...My Documents/SimCity 4/Regions directory.
3) Download the config.bmp file, or create your own and place it in the new folder
4) Download the hobart.jpg file and place it in the folder created at 2 (I suggest this location because it's easier to find).
5) Run your SimCity 4 game
6) Open the Hobart Region (if you used a different name at 2,
7) On your keyboard, press and hold down 'ctrl' + 'alt' + 'shift' + 'r'--this should bring up a dialogue box
8) Browse to the folder that you downloaded hobart.jpg to, find "hobart.jpg", and open this file.
9) This should start the rendering. BE PATIENT. This will likely take between 45 minutes and 4 hours with a relatively empty plugins folder.
10) Enjoy!
(Instructions copied from one of Mallow's maps, as the procedure is the same for this maps. I've modified the instructions slightly.
Note that the coasts will be a little sharp-edged in places. This is because I opted to keep data high quality as opposed to lower. There is some smoothing, but not an excessive amount.
You can find out more about Hobart in my new mapping thread, which can be found here.
