About This File

Tokyo, Japan

a map by: blunder

 

-------------

Installation:

This map is in .sc4m format and requires either Terraformer or Mapper to import.

 

1. Navigate to your Documents/SimCity 4/Regions folder and create a new folder with your desired region name

2. Copy+paste the config.bmp file into the folder you just created.

3. Open SC4TF, open the new region, import the .sc4m file, save and quit.

4. You must open and save each tile for it to display your terrain mod instead of the terraformer/mapper elevation color overlay.

 

-------------

Description:

 

Get out your commuter trains. Tokyo is the worlds largest metropolitan area with over 32 million inhabitants (or something like that, i'm going from memory).

 

This map is a whopping 76km x 76km and made from satellite data. If you want to make it smaller, don't forget you can black out areas of the config.bmp as long as the resulting configuration forms an acceptable grid to sc4's engine.

Map made using satellite data, image editing software, and drunkapple's invaluable advice. edit: Map is scale and terrain accurate.

 

(I HIGHLY recommend using the high altitude + snow installation of Lowkee's most excellent Appalachian Terrain Mod and shokthrpy's Brigantine 2.0 HD water and HD rock mods)

Happy Gaming!

Yes it is scaled accurately. I forgot to add that in the description, sorry. That's what i get for uploading it while annoyed from just rendering over 300 tiles :P

HUGE, you could have done a bit more to the north than south, if you really wanted to make the city itslef.
Great work!

Blank tiles are just water. You really need to have a large tile just filled with water?

You never know, when one might prop some land up on it. It enhances creativity.
I know it's water, but think why water exists in SC4.

Thanks guys!

@paulo: although that is true, i made this choice because i wanted to capture the coastline and small peninsula to the south, and my meager RAM does impose size limitations on just how far i can go, so what you see is what you get.

@allkill: If you feel that strongly about it, them maybe you should have spent 10 seconds of the time you wasted complaining to open the config.bmp in paint and scribble blue overtop the black and saved your handiwork. If you want to waste another 30 minutes to an hour rendering empty water tiles then be my guest.
