sc4 Mapper: How do I get the maps to render with large cities?

[mrbombit 1]

Hi first let me say I love SC4 Mapper. But When I render maps they always have a small city config(all red). I tried to get around it by when I create a map using mapper i load a config that is all blue. But nothing happens when I hit ok. It doesnt even seem like it is trying to create the map. I saw that the SC4 mapper came with files namedCity - Large.sc4, Small.sc4, etc. Can I change the default load confing using this files? thanks for all the help.

Hi, mrbombit.

When you run SC4Mapper and click on the "Create Region" button, you're presented with a dilaog box asking from what you wish to create the region.  Which choice are you selecting?

Assuming you selected either Grayscale Image, 16 bit png or RGB image, you're presented a dialog box from which you would browse for and enter then filename of the grayscale image.  Also, there is a choice to browse for and select a specific config.bmp file.

If you have a correctly dimensioned grayscale image (for example, 1025 x 1025 pixels) and a correctly dimensioned matching config.bmp file (for example, 16 x 16 pixels all blue), you will be presented with a map image that has a 4 large city tiles x 4 large city tiles city configuration overlayed on the map image.  Likewise, a properly dimensioned medium and / or small city grayscale and config.bmp files will display medium and small configurations accordingly.

Please let me know if this information solves your issue or if you have further questions.
