Map Config

I downloaded some maps off the stex but they are only jpegs, how do i make a config for them?

I find "Landscape Designer" to be the best way to do that - it's a pretty nifty tool, give it a whirl

Do the downloads contain a SC4M file? If so, you'll need SC4Terraformer or SC4Mapper to create the regions. Just a thought...

And moving this to the Mapping Community Board.

I dont know what it has except for the greymap jpegs,  i remember once i downloaded a large map and made a region that took awhile to render, i forget what program i used to, any help would be great

The ratio of the grayscale.jpg to the config.bmp file is 64 to 1, plus one.  The default region takes a 16x16 pixel config file, which needs a 1025x1025 grayscale.jpg.

To find the size of the config file, subtract 1 pixel from each side of the grayscale.jpg, then divide the sides by 64, that gives you the size needed for the config.bmp.

i downloaded SC4 Mapper from sc4devotion and it created my map but all the cities are small cities and i would prefer all large or medium cities, how can i modify the config to create all large cities without losing the map im using?
