About This File

So, in a thread in SC4 General Discussion someone was trying to create a map from the DEM data centered on Brooklyn, New York. I wasn't able to render anything I liked with the posted grayscale, but I did manage to create one that sorta resembles the area. It's not accurate to any scale in any of the three dimensions, but I feel it turned out rather well. At least for my first attempt at a real world map. I've called it Borilyn as in a boring version of Brooklyn.

I've included a Config.Bmp in the zip that I like the best for where the land masses are located. Grayscale image size is 705x705 which corresponds to an 11x11 config.bmp. I chose this size cause it fits top to bottom when I play 1024x768. (At 1600x1200 it'll fit side to side too.) Also included is a Region.Ini file in case you want to create the region folder manually. Then there are the two region view files in there as the identifiers when you go browsing the zip. (The RV in the name is my shorthand for Region View.)

Ok, so let me know any comments you have.

Edit: I just found out there's already a much better map for New York City - United States (File # 40) here on ST so just ignore mine. *:lol:

Not bad for a first map.  I'll run it and see how it goes.

LATER: Rendered beautifully.  First city, Apfeldorn, in profit in about half and hour.

Overall, worth using as a region of fantasy.

Looks like a great map! I don't like huge maps, because I usually only finish 4-6 cities then get bored lol. This is perfect for me! Plus it looks amazing :)
