New citys are all water

[usad25 0]

I downloaded the snow capped mountians today. And after 3 hours of messing around with it I think I got it to work! FINALLY! So along with Snow capped mountains I downloaded the terrian modds. But when ever I create a new city its completly water. But when I load one of my citys its just the way it was before. I downloaded these:


Setup_Columbus_Terrain_Mod

and

CP_ColumbusPlayTerrainParametersForUseWithCPT_No7TreeController SNOWSCAPPED LOW

I have a feeling that its the Columbus_Terrain_Mod. But how do I fix it. I have tryed loaded over 10 different blank tiles and they are are completly water. And when I play a city thats already been build it always askes me to reconcile the edges. And then the edges turn to water. Please help!


Edit* - I forgot to mention that all my blank tiles are plains. But when you click on them they are water.... Every un-used tile loades as water.

A city being completely water is the initial terrain when you create a region. You can create two inital types of regions, plain and water. To turn off auto-reconciliation go the options menu and open the game settings dialog.

No no what I did not mention is that all my blank tiles are plains. My whole region is plains with mountains and some water. And they look like plains too. But when you load them they are water.

I edited my orignal message now. So it says that they are all plains, not water but turn out to be when loaded.

Can anyone else help me?

it's a side-effect of using the original Columbus Terrain Mods. he set the sea level higher for his own region. just go into each city and raise the terrain, or change the default water level by yourself.

download ILive's Reader, and using it open the Columbus_Play_Terrain_Parameters file. (assuming you ran Columbus's setup program). click the Analyser button and select the Terrain Parameters option. Find the SeaLevel value on the right pane and change it to 250, the Maxis default.

Ok I downloaded the iLive Reader thing..... But how do I use it? And what file is actually causing the water like that? It could be several of them..... You said: Columbus_Play_Terrain_Parameters file. Let me go check really quick.

can you give me more details on 2 of your mods?

CPT_TerrainMod_Olympic

Columbus Terrain Mod

if memory serves me correct, jeronij's Snowcapped mod is intended ONLY for the original Columbus Terrain Mod, and not his new ones. so, you're probably going to have to remove some files. you may alread have done so, which is why i'm asking you for details. what i would like is some more info, like the exact names of the files that pertain to each of those mods.

[usad25 0]

Ok in CPT_TerrainMod_Olympic:

CTP_B_OlympicBeach_Optional

CPT_C_OlympicCliff_Optional_EquivalentT o Peg Rock Mod

CPT_ No5_Rock Textures_Olympic_EssentialBulInterchangableWith0therNo5

CPT_No6_OlympicTerrainController_NormalErosion_Essentail

In Columbus Terrain Mod 

CP_ColumbusBeachCliff

CP_ColumbusRockTextures

CP_TerrainTextutres_No1

readme_columbus_terrain_mod

Is this what you mean? I tryed taking out the olympic terrain thing but it still the same. But really, I can survive with out the snow-capped modd. This is sorta more trouble than it is worth. I've talked to several people and they never had this probelm. But im not sure if it will ever work because I installed the olympic and Ive tried taking it out and it stilll does not work. 

Maybe I could just delelte the CPT_TerrainMod_Olympic,  Columbus Terrain Mod and the snow capped modd. Then could you download the snow-capped modd and tamper with it by using the ilive reader thing and then show me exactly what to download with it. That might work.......

[prince_of_sims 0]

take this file out of your plugins:

CP_ColumbusPlayTerrainParametersForUseWithCPT_No7TreeController SNOWSCAPPED LOW

and check your Program Files plugin folder as well.

create a new region to test it. an already created region may have problems.

Well I dicided that I can do with out the Snow-capped feature.

Even though I would like it, And now I see what I was doing wrong, It was the Olympic terrain thing (duh! how come it took sooo long to fingure that one out) but I think that I would like to keep the Olympic terrain more that the snow. So I deleted the snow-capped modd and I only have the omlympic now. Thanks so much for your help! I would not have been able to do all this without you!

Thanks so much again! I am content with just the olympic not the snow. Thanks.
