[Mapmod] Alex'24's maps

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Will you please do Seattle or Bellevue? I would like their resources to be water and tourism.

You would so be my hero if you made maps such as real life cities, such as some major cities as Los Angeles, Houston,Seattle,Chicago,and such. It doesn't really have to be the whole metropolis,but maybe just the city size,not the metropolis.Can you actually create the actual scale of the maps?I would like to see that,but if you cant you cant. I don't really know how big you can create the maps,but i will appreciate any work you do! =)

@ paweloq you wrote the same on cities xs, let's try it

@likeseattle.... bellvue didn't look realistic in cxl, i try seattle

[Jesse Swiss 6]

alex24 is the flat map done yet , do you think you can make a map of montreal

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Good luck! I forgot how difficult Bellevue was, sorry. I grew up in WNW Seattle but I have moved since then.

[-Alex24- 10]

sorry but i had no time,, and it's really boring to make maps. @jesse swiss there is an map in wyhlmanns unlocker ask him please

@likeseattle i tried bellvue do you want see a screen.... it's ugly, because it is flat and it's very difficult

[stevendshen 1]

can u make a map that is just a flat plain with nothing on it, like sc4 defalt maps?

that will be cool as well!!

[stevendshen 1]

woops sorry i didnt see that it already existed, sorry...

keep it up man u rock!!

[Jesse Swiss 6]

haha

I wanted to build Mezaton on a Bellevue map but I guess I can make Port Seathl.

EDIT: If you lower the elevation so that Lake Samamish's shore is at Sea Level, then I the water level of Lake Washington would be about the same as it was before the locks so if you have the correct elevation near the lake shores, then the rest of the map can be flat everywhere else.

[-Alex24- 10]

sorry but it doesn't make fun anymore, and it waste too much time....sorry

*project closed*

[Jesse Swiss 6]

might as well lock this up then

[Screwballl 196]

Anyone have a few links for programs to make maps that work properly for CXL11? I would like to make a few of my previous maps that I made for SC4 and possibly more....

[Romaq 18]

I found the unpacker got me to a .land file. I looked at the binary and I saw 'DDS' several times within them, so I'm inclined to think .land was another package. Simply renaming the .land file to .pak and attempting to unpack *THAT* doesn't do me any favors, unfortunately. I wasn't sure what other magic numbers I should look for, but the two dds files I ought to be able to extract using a binary editor. If anyone could take a look on how to unpack/ repack .land files, it would be very much appreciated.

[-Alex24- 10]

reactivated.. because of possibility to make maps for cxl2011

[-Alex24- 10]

it would be great if somebody nominate me

[Jesse Swiss 6]

You shouldnt ask for votes and If I were you I wouldnt be worried, you have made many mods, and maps here so that people notice you! Good Luck with the Maps and your new train set!

Hi! My name is Vlad. I am from Russia. I live in the city of St. Petersburg. You would have been able to make a gift to Russian friends, a map of St. Petersburg. Material and the cards are on the Internet. I would like to see all the islands, the Gulf and the River Neva. The size of the city in a length of about 42 km. The width 35km. For earlier thanks.

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Choose a 10km by 10km area, please. Otherwise use SimCity 4.

Hi Alex24,

I absolutely love those maps you've been making. I'm particularly enjoying the London map. Now I'm not usually one to make requests, if there's any way I can, I'll try to make my own custom content. However, the tools that have been developed for CXL map making thus far prove to be too difficult for me to master. It doesn't help that the only tutorial available is in German either

I used to make maps for my own use in sc4 using photoshop and sc4terraformer, however it seems that the tools to makes maps in CXL are far more complex. So I turn to you.

Attached is an image of what I'm looking for. It's a relatively flat coastal plain where several rivers converge and flow into the sea. It's loosely based on the Boston metropolitan area. The land in the center is relatively flat and close to sea level. Here the waterfront is gradual. Toward the northwest and southwest corners of the map the terrain becomes more uneven. I'd like however for the transition between flat and mountainous terrain to be less abrupt than in the standard CXL maps. Finally, along the coast, there are some nice coastal islands. I would like for these to have some beautiful beaches.

I've also attached some guides regarding resources.

I'll understand if you're too busy to do requests, or don't particularly feel like doing this one because of lack of interest, but I thought I'd ask you here all the same.

Thanks!

(P.S. I'm still playing CXL Limited Edition, waiting for 2011 to have less bugs - Will that affect the kind of map you make?)

EDIT: I don't need the map to look *exactly* like in the picture. This is just to give you a general idea.

EDIT 2: I'm directing this question to Alex, but if someone else wants to take up the challenge, that would be awesome too...

Hi I wonder if it's possible to have both snowy mountains and beaches on a map so i can use both the ski and the beach gem at the same time

[-Alex24- 10]

i am really impressed of your detail work.. but actually i dont make no cards anymore.. i am sorry

@jona.. i tried this in december but it didnt work.. i even cant make so high hills that it would look realistic

I am not online on simtropolis because the servers are so slow that i dont want to wait
