About This File

Idaho Panhandle.

 

This region is based on DEM data with small alterations for

playability. This is most evident in the courses of the rivers and the lake in

the NW corner, as these areas had to be adjusted in terms of elevation in order

to appear as water. The region is focused

on the Panhandle of Idaho. The map is

bounded on the north by the 49th parallel and the border with British Columbia,

to the west by the border with Washington state and to the east by the border

with Montana.

 

The large lake dominating the map is Lake Pend Oreille, fed by the Clark Fork

entering from the east. The town of

Sandpoint sits on the lakes northern shore.

The lake in the northwest of the map is Priest Lake. The river flowing through the prime farmland

to north is the Kootenai, the town of Bonners Ferry sits on its banks.

 

The image has been rendered with CPT's Olympic

Terrain Mod. The region itself was terraformed to fit with

both the textures of this mod, and the height at which rock/snow begins and

highly recommend it. You can, of course,

use any terrain mod you please with this region.

 

 

Installing the Region

 

 

You need SC4 terraformer in order to install this region.

 

1. Unzip the file.

 

2. Create a new region folder in your SimCity 4\Region

directory.

 

3. Replace the config.bmp file with the config.bmp file you

downloaded with this region

 

4. Open the new region in Terraformer

 

5. Click 'Import Image' in the Global Tools Menu and browse

to the unzipped folder and select the map file for this region.

 

6. When the file loads choose 'File' and click 'Save'. (The

region is now saved to SC4).

 

7. Load your region and play, the cities will take on

whatever terrain mod you have (or the default SC4 terrain if you have no mod)

as soon as you open them.

I've been to this area, and it's one of the most beautiful places in the Northwestern United States. Great map!

So you don't need any terrain/texture dependencies for this? Just whatever water/terrain modds you have will work?

hmm,where do you get the error message ?  I downloaded the file and installed it through terraformer to check for any issues and it worked for me.

correct.  Once you've saved the region with SC4 terraformer (directions included in the readme) and open the cities for the first time in game, they will take on whatever terrain/water mods you have, and the default terrain/water if you don't have any.  I certainly recommend the Olympic Terrain mod as the map was created with those textures/rock/snow levels, etc. in mind.  Any mod will work though and I'm sure there are plenty of others that would look good as well.
