About This File

GDay Simtropians,

 

Happy New Year to all at Simtropolis, And what a new years map this is to present. Several months back JoshRiddle enquired for a rather large map of the Colorado Rockies west of Denver, too large for a single map. We pared it down to this monster. Thanks Josh.(see even the mappers' know where to come 3.gif.)

Large and hilly but there is still plenty of the flat stuff on this map for towering cities.

 

See this map up CLOSE and personal.

 

This is a real world map at 72.728km x 72.728km and produced dem and satellite data and drunk's map-o-matic. Utilising 16bit bit mapping technology it is in .SC4M format and as such requires Wouanagaine's mapper or terraformer to import it into one's game. It is terrain (very) and scale accurate.

 

 

Links and instructions are in the readme(but no plonk).

 

 

That's it I think.

 

 

Cheers

Happy new Year.

I followed the readme and still cant seem to get this map to work. I keep getting debug errors in both Mapper and Terraformer.

Thanks Marsh, How are your Canaries? Runnerguy, First off thanks. Now put terraformer away this map is just too big for it. Next up you want plenty of ram in your puter, 4gigs is good. Shut all other programs off and fire up mapper. Then navigate to the map and load it, let go of the mouse and just sit back and relax while it loads.

Once it has loaded save the region, again let go of the mouse while doing this, relax make a cup of coffee. Mapper is memory intensive, does not use swap space and is not multitask friendly. Also before starting mapper run task manager to check there are not other instances of terraformer running and kill them if there are. Thanks and cheers ;<)

Nice and very big region. Good work! No water again? Probably decided to take a break from water. ^^

Thanks Algis, With only rivers to chase and a very high region as this is (it's higher than it looks), you only end up with about a half a km of river then chasms. And mostly the lowest points do not have water anyhow. Thanks and cheers.;<) Happy New Year.

Im pretty sure I live somewhere on this map, and I was excited to have it, but the elevation is so insane, hardly any of the cities even fit entirely on the screen.
