question about config bmp and sc4terraformer

[basileus 8]

In recent times I've been doing a map in SC4 Terraformer. But while I was doing it I realized that I had made an mistake with the config. bmp. I change it with Paintbrush program but when I load the map, Terraformer refused it because it didn't match with that was saved before. What I can do about it? Or should I resign? ...

Try going into the region folder. Delete everything except for the config, the region notepad file, and the .sc4m file.

So delete all of these:

So now only the config and sc4m(if you have one) need to be there. The region text file is if you entered the region in the game.

Open the config up in paint, and make sure the size you make it is divisible by 4. If you can't enter, then try making a fully red config, so only small city tiles. The config can never be incorrect with only small cities.

What size map are you using?

I think is really big, imagine the config is 27x18.

If your having trouble with the config, why don't you attach the file to your next post and I'll see if I can make it the right dimensions.

Here is a 27x18 config. Just click the text to download.

But if you're not sure if it is 27x18, it won't work.

Thanks for your answers, jack3oh3. I did what you told me, but still SC4Terraformer does not recognize it. Anyway, here is the file you're asking for: config.bmp

Thanks for your help!

That is weird that it is not letting you open up the region. I made a quick map using your config. Then I changed the config and opened up the same map. It opened fine with all the terrain I made still there! I'm sorry it's not working for you. All I can say is next time you make a map, export it as a .sc4m image so you can render the map with any config.

You know, I tried something new.

I simply deleted the .sc4m file that was causing me problems and all that followed it(including .sc4m files and png images). Once this is done, I could change the config.bmp in Paint and now SC4Terraformer recognizes it. The only thing is you have to redo the erased part, but at least I was able to keep the rest of the map.

Anyway thank you very much, jack3oh3, for your help and I hope this post serves to those who need help on this issue.
