Hi,

I'm getting back into SimCity 4 and I am trying to edit the layout of a new region, however, there are a few spots that are displaying weirdly.

How do I correct this?

You'll need to check the config.bmp file. Make sure Blue is 4 x 4 pixels, Green is 2 x 2 pixels, and Red is a single pixel. What that pic is showing is how there is some overlap rather than perfect squares.

    Thank you. Guess I'll need to return to the drawing board to fix this.

    Oh. Or one other thing (still in the config.bmp) is any given pixel might not have exactly 255 for its R, G, or B. To the human eye it might look fine, but the game is really particular about that.

    I double checked and it turned out some of my red pixels were a few off, and the region is now up and running.
