ok so i need to like remove all the files to another place and put only the 1000m dat in my plugins folder... that makes sense, i uninstalled the columbus terrain mod, and deleted it, but the map still came out the same way (two islands, one on either end of map, and a small chain of islands near the north island), and it may be my water mod or something, so ill try that. thanks

Ok, I asked for New York State about 2 months ago and it hasn't come yet. Has it been stalled somhow? I do belive that you post it if its done. Am i right?

[MallowTheCloud 41]

jrhnemo: I'm truly sorry. I had it completed, but I forgot to upload it to the STEX. I'll get right to that immediately.


EDIT: New York State has been uploaded to the STEX, and should be available shortly!

Mallow, could you make a map of Nashville, TN and it be the same size of your Indianapolis, IN map?

 

Thank You.

[MallowTheCloud 41]

lilred731: I do have other maps to do first, but I will indeed look in to it after those are done.


Berlin Germany has been uploaded to the STEX, and should be available shortly!

Mallow: do you make your own greyscales or do you use a program?

[MallowTheCloud 41]

Thanks for the comments!

joeynymets: I have a program that allows me to export elevation maps as greyscales. However, unfortunately I still have to draw in the water wherever it is. For me, that's the most time-consuming part.

[joeynymets 19]

Mallow: what is the program, I want to make some maps.  but does the program have the maps?

[MallowTheCloud 41]

A detailed tutorial of how I make my maps can be found here .

All the programs you need should be linked at the beginning of the tutorial.

Excellent job, but when I load the jpg file, after 30 minutes it goes, but there's no river neither sea: at the place of sea the is a plane, in place of tiber there's a canyon and the rest of map is a mountain. Where I am in wrong?
In other words, altitude is wrong
Any suggestion?

Hello!

The problem is with your plugins. Either you are using a terrain mod that changes the import factors, or you are not using the plugin that is required (as listed in the description of the map).


sloppet and adambrown14ADAM14, I have been very busy with school lately. I will be able to do this maybe later, but currently I just don't have the time. Sorry.

Thank you for reply!! I used the plugins you said, I copied only the 1000m and not the others. How can I see if I have plugin or terrain mod that changes the import factors?
My plugins folders is full
In general, I don't remember to have download mod terrain
Thank you again

I would like a map of Winnipeg and area, espescially the forks between he red river and the other one.

Another one would be a map with the shape of nova scotia !

There are a couple plugins which don't seem like they should impact the terrain rendering process, but they do.

If you have Cycledogg's Terrain Mod, that's an example of one of them.


My suggestion would be to move all your plugins (except the 1000m.dat) to a temporary folder while rendering, and then move them back when rendering is finished.


For those who have requested maps, as I noted above, I have been very busy with school recently. If I can get some more free time, I'd be happy to make these maps for you.

Alkoala- Look at blade2k5's maps, Also, I could do the map. Tell me what dimensions you desire (or at least approximate) and I could send you a screenshot of what I get. Or ask Blade2k5, he does large/mountainous maps as well.

Thank you, it works!!! Great job!
Only the rivers in some little points are interrupted, but nothing important, it's easy to repair it!

[MallowTheCloud 41]

It seems that the attachments have disappeared, so I'm reattaching my plugins folder.

I downloaded New York State the other night, as I am a resident, and it looked cool. I followed your instructions and downloaded your plugins to use, and I got the region generation error message, stating the bitmap size is incorrect, that it has to be 1025x1025. I also just read your forum on this subject, and I believe I'm doing what your directions say. Any help to get this to work would be appreciated.

[MallowTheCloud 41]

Alright... first of all, have you checked out this forum yet?

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=120&threadid=72067&enterthread=y

It has the three most common problems that can lead to that error message.

Hi Mallow, I've a problem with the Des Moines map from your Us Edition Map Pack.

I created a region folderand put the config and the jpg into it.

When I want to render it I press ctrl' + 'alt' + 'shift' + r and this works but when I click on              "Des Moines.jpg" nothing happens.

I heard that other ones have the same problem.

Any ideas?

It is just this map, the other ones work just perfectly!

[MallowTheCloud 41]

Sometimes, for some reason, the jpg files don't save a greyscale jpegs. If you have IrfanView, just save it as a 'greyscale' jpeg and try it again.

I hope this helps.

[abcd 5]

Thanks i will try that.

[MallowTheCloud 41]

Phoenix, AZ and the North Oregon Coast have both been uploaded to the STEX, and should be available shortly!

I don't know if it's only happening for me, but there seems to be a problem with your London map. Everything turns out in mountain-high elevations. I have completely cleared both of my plugins folders, leaving only your import.dat and 250m.dat in the documents one.
