    Hello to you all. I've tried to make some new regions for the whole summer but whenever I finish it and try to load, to see what I've done, the region shows incomplete. For example, I make 4x4 blue config. And only 9 on the fields show to me. Also, when I try to start some new regions I've downloaded from the STEX, it shows only flat field. Does anybody know what to do?

    There is a tutorial in the omnibus about your blank region problem. You need the sc4m file.

    I don't really understand your other problem. What do you mean only 9 on the fields show.

    When I create a 4x4 region the should be 16 squares there, right? Well, after I close terraformer and start the region in Sc4, I get only 9 squares there and the other ones are missing. :( Like the region is being cut. Config is made of 16 squares of different kinds of blue colour ( all of them have blue at 255 level )

    I've somehow solved the problem. It seems that after I made the config.bmp file, colors mixed up, and sc4 couldn't recognize one type of blue as blue. It works now. Thank you for your effort!

    Just a note on config.bmp.

    You can have any shade of the target color red, green, blue but the value of the particular color you want to define your tile must be 255. This will get you a large city if your 4 x 4 pixel area is (100,200,255). The default created by the game uses this fact.
