Will I need SC4TF or SC4M? Supposedly, SC4TF does not work with Win7 and I am not sure about SC4M.

FLarsen on SC4Devotion posted a great little way to get SC4Mapper on Windows 7. It works for me using W7.

Hope this helps!

Hi all,

Another current project I'm working on : the Cancale's bay, in western France, including the famous Mount Saint-Michel.

Area is 60 x 48 km (quite large in my opinion) :

Probably available this week...

Heyy I reckonize this area, I spent a while around the Vanléee haven (that little tiny bit of water going inland).. xD

Jaw-dropping stuff - wow! Any chance you might be able to do the Rochester, MN/Olmsted County area?

[Izidor44 112]

Good morning gentlemen,

I'm slowly coming back to life around there after a busy summer, moving from a house to another new one ! No mapping at all during this time, just painting, cleaning, playing with screwdrivers and hammers and so on...

Still no internet at home too...

So first step will be to render and release the maps done before, before launching any new project : I like my desktop to be clean and organised !

Thanks for your patience !

Cool mate,

I thought you'd got lost.

It's good to have you back Izi.

Lost ? Me ? I would probably lost myself somewhere in strange vapors after a bottle of Vodka, yep... ! Now, I'm lurking around there...

Nice to read you again too

OK Gentlemen, I'm cleaning my desk and sorted the jobs to do :

Maps done and to be rendered for uploading :

Kalispell - Montana

Cabo San Luca - Mexico

Mias - Russia

Canberra - Australia

Meteor Crater - Arizona (I think...)

Kraljevo - Serbia

...well, all those maps are old stories for me, so here are the works in progress :

Grand Junction Colorado

Tadoussac - Canada

Montreux and east of Leman lake - Switzerland

So you've guessed that it is a huge piece of cake to eat (or a pint a beer to drink if you prefer)

Stay tuned and sorry again for requesters who are still waiting for their map...!

Cheers,

Izi

very nice Maps, but no download links on any of them. gggrrrrrr

Hello Again, Would it be at all possible that you can format these to render with multiple sized City Tiles.... All I am getting is same size. and I am not the avid TF or mapper person. Please. Thank you/

Thanks Jacksunny !

This small post to tell you that Kalispell map will probably be uploaded on next monday... ...thanks to CathodeRay (requester) for his patience !

EDIT : map uploaded now !

Jaw-dropping stuff - wow! Any chance you might be able to do the Rochester, MN/Olmsted County area?

Hi Blublub,

I put this one in my bag (which gets heavy...) !

[simlink 1,098]

Maps continue to impress, Izi! Fantastic work.

[grstudios 188]

Hey izi and everybody watching... Sorry if it's not the right section, but I posted that two weeks ago without any replies.

I'm trying to make an 'early explorers' type of map: Topographic map with terrain types, height markers and flora depicted on it, as so:

This is an official map of rural israel, hence the hebrew

I don't plan to elaborate on details as this map does, but just wanted you to know my direction... I heard from SimCoug about an elevation file that you can extract from SC4Terraformer. How do I do that, and could I edit that in photoshop?

Hi GRStudios,

I would suggest to have a look at a small .exe file which is packed with SC4Terraformer, called "convertisocline.exe" : basically it can generates elevations file useable in SC4T, from contour line files.

It looks like this, just after loading a .bmp example file :

...and after clicking on "Generate" :

Does this can solve your problem ?

I never experienced this program so I can't give you advices, but sounds like an interesting option. You will probably have to create a layer onto the contour map you have, and draw your lines from black (lowest) to white (highest)...

Hope it helps !

Nice Map

[grstudios 188]

Izi, I opened the .exe file you were writing about. Now, what file do I upload in order to see the elevation lines like in your example?

It seems like getting closer to what i'm trying to accomplish.

Thanks!

GRStudios,

Here is the bmp file I opened, it is given in the download package. You should find it in an "Additionnalfiles" folder, with some more examples...

Hope it helps !

Hi Blublub,

A small candy to chew before the week-end : a preview of the map of Rochester you requested !

Map is (if I remember correctly) 7 x 9 big tiles.

Cheers,

Izi - Hmm... It looks nice, but I thought that I can take my region and turn it into a file with elevation lines only. Do you know a way to do it? (I use your Aberdeen map if you recall)

Hi grstudios,

I'm sorry, but I understood the opposite of want you answered ! I thought you had a contour map (like your example) and wanted to transform it into an elevation map...

Transforming an elevation into a contour map is, as far as I know, impossible with this tool. Sorry again...!

This small post to show you the "Montreux" map rendered... ...it will probably be uploaded next week :

Cheers,

Izi

[grstudios 188]

Hi izi! Thanks for the comment. I didn't think that I will have a tailor-made solution, though the .exe file seemed like a breakthrough. Well, no pity. I'll try to put my idea aside for now, and make a map without altitude lines.

Btw, your last maps show some great mountainous regions! Thank you for those, they are practically a volunteering work, and a fulfilling hobby...

[Izidor44 112]

Hi gentlemen,

Montreux has been uploaded right now !

Still many things to do (rendering tiles for example... ...dooh !)

Cheers,

Izi

[Izidor44 112]

Good morning gentlemen,

Busy weeks these days so (you know lazy I can be sometimes), I did not render anything, shame

However some more maps have been done and now entering the crowded waiting room for a rendering session...

Tadoussac, Québec - Canada (1 arc resolution)

Western part of Tenerife Island (3 arc resolution)

New Orleans - Mississipi Louisiana (1/9 arc resolution) (thanks TheBonobo4 !)

Aosta valley and Mont-Blanc - Italy/France (1 arc resolution)

You may have noticed that I played too with the color chart of Terraformer, a bit more flashy, no ?

Stay tuned as some more are still coming ! I will have to schedule entire evenings next week to render the billions of tiles...

Cheers,

Izi

New Orleans is in Louisiana not Mississippi.

Hi Gentlement,

Another experimentation I would like to share with us here. 10000000000000 has recently requested for a map of western coast of Florida, called Ten Thousand Island.

This part of coast is full of small islands, mangroves and inlets : a real nightmare to map you might think ! (and beware of alligators too...).

So I gathered 1/3 resolutions datas and launched the mapping machine. Important thing to know is that elevation is very low : between 0 meters and... ...almost 8 meters at "highest" spots. Sea depht is also very low too with a deepest spot at -5 meters, some kilometers away from the coast.

Here is the Terraformer interpretation of the elevations datas, without ANY redrawing :

I finally only edited the water zones in order to create a small gradient like this :

No satellite datas, no pictures, no layers here : only elevation datas !

Cheers,

Izi

[Izidor44 112]

Hi mappers,

This small update as Tadoussac has been uploaded :

***EDIT***

I decided to continue my experimentations about low elevation areas like in Florida, I scrolled a bit more southward the map and finally arrived around Whitewater Bay, Everglades.

Here again, no satellite pictures, no drawing, just editing the datas. It is only possible because elevation is very low (between 0 and 2 meters above sea level). Otherwise, it couldn't be possible I think. I have selected the water area and create a specific layer where making a gradient was possible. I also (finally !) found out how to extent my gradient out of the map, by making a layer bigger than the final picture, then cropping it.

Whitewater Bay, Florida (1/3 arc resolution) :

Beware of mosquitos and alligators !

Hey Izidor I don't know if you got my message about Manchester or not. If not then I'm requesting that you please make it as specified, just so I can have a comparison. Not that I'm not pleased with drunkapple's work, just I'm not sure if it's to scale or too large/small. Plus it's nice to have a comparison.

[Izidor44 112]

Hi all,

Whitewater Bay has been uploaded, quite a "concept - map" !

...then back now to more "classical" stuff.

Stay tuned,

Izi

Hi Blublub,

Sorry for that long silence, as I tried to play SC4 these last evenings, instead of mapping, shame on me

Here is a small preview of Rochester before rendering :

Mapping machine is a bit dusty, but be sure some more candies will be provided here soon !

Fantastic, thanks again. I'm looking forward to the finished product!
