[Fetchd 0]

wow idk what i do wrong , i do everything which is wrote in the instructions and still won't work . I tried to play on the region

which i downloaded , and i made folder put everything what was neccesary to it , i run game , do shift+alt+ctrl+r , find image and click ok and nothing happens. There is nothing such as obituary or so and if game is rendering region or no , i dont see anything happen , i look folder and something made 1 file called region so i look at the game and i see , low , medium high fields which were at the beggining. Can someone tell me what am i doing wrong or if am i stupid .;.

Please dont use profanity, its not a nice thing to do. Getting angry at your problems wont solve them.

After you press shift+alt+ctrl+r you have to wait. Rendering a map isnt instant and it takes time to process . It will look like its doing nothing, but it is doning something. After about 10-30 mins (maybe more if its a big region) it will be finshed. In the mean time, it has to process the map, and during that process it wont look like its doing anything

If u would try to configure it as long as i do , you will get angry too . Idk what is wrong , thats aint got sense , everything i do like in region topic is wrote . I dl the grey map , i open it by paint and save it as JPEG file . I also download config.bmp file . I ran game , load the region , do ctrl-alt-shift-r , load the JPG file , click ok , and nothing happens , only processor is working harder (maybe it is ?) but why anything happens ( i waited 30 mins and nothing) . I know it when i click ok it should make a window "Making new map/region" but nothing like happens its still the same fields . Guys i really tried everything idk what to do , i tried alot of maps to try if they work , but they do not . Idk if is this possible to upload somewhere the map which work for u and not for me with every files which are in (that city-new city etc.) and if it work . Plz answer me as fast as it possible , i want to play some ;\

Are you clicking the 'Download' link on the item listing to get the grayscale? If so, you might be downloading a .bmp grayscale image. And converting that to a .jpg image with Paint has not always worked for me. Here is something to try...

Instead of left-clicking the 'Download' link, right-click on it and select "Save Target As..."  Give it the name of the region and save it in the region folder. Doing this will give you a .jpg grayscale image that you won't need to convert.

I also download config.bmp file . I ran game , load the region , do ctrl-alt-shift-r , load the JPG file , click ok , and nothing happens...quote>

Does the cursor change to an hourglass? If so, then it is working. If not, then try the above method to get the proper image.

Another thought... Do any of the regions you are trying have files that end with .SC4M? If so, those regions will not render using the usual in-game method. They are maps created with SC4Terraformer and will require SC4Terraformer or SC4Mapper to render.

If I'm not mistaken, your file has to be limited to 256 colors (8 bit). If you are saving it in 24 or 32 bit it won't work.

nothing work for me ;| i tried to save it as 256 bitmap , it was making the region but at last it wasn't a map . There were no water and region was overheight , there were just high empty places

You might have a terain height mod in your plugins. You could check for files named "import" or some number such as "1000m". These are common height mods. You could also try temporarily removing your plugins while rendering. Just a thought...
