Hey feel free to ask I may reply or not, but better to ask me on sc4d discord as it is really depending on what I'm up to (Hasn't login for more then 8 years here) and my memories may need some refreshing on the code I wrote more then 10y ago

Please ensure you have used the below methods for getting self-help: 1) Ensure you havedownloaded and installed the latest version of SC4Terraformer. As of this post, the latest version is 1.1. 2) Ensure you have the correct version of DirectX. 3) Ensure you have COMPLETELY read through the ReadMe file that is part of the SC4Terraformer download package. 4) Search through the posts in this thread for answers to your questions. There is a wealth of valuable information contained within this support thread and many answers to your questions can be gotten by search through the posts in the thread. When, and only when, you have completely exhausted all avenues of self-help concerning a problem you are experiencing, post a detailed explanation of the problem. I, or someone I designate, will attempt to research your reported problem and reply back to you when time permits. I want it to be very clear that support for the SC4Terraformer application is NOT being abandoned. Valid problems will continue to be researched and, if possible, solutions will be provided. In closing, I wish to reiterate the importance of reading the ReadMe file. It contains valuable information that, in many cases, will answer your questions concerning SC4Terraformer, DirectX and using the application. Take care!

Any comments for the version in the Modds&downloads should be done in the Support thread Edited for fast link v1.1 uploaded on page 28 ( beginning of the page ) v.09c uploaded on page 22 ( post by me in the middle of the page ) v.08c uploaded on page 19 ( post by Ynterboy near the end of the page ) v.07c uploaded on page 14 ( post by Ynterboy in the middle of the page ) v.06g uploaded on page 13 V.06 uploaded on page 8 ( Third post ) Some interesting posts:jplumbley has made a mall tutorial on river/hills and mountains Rayden has made a post on installing DirectX I made a quick basic tutorial ( a bit out dated ) SmackSims made a quick review of some landscape generators Hi everybody I'm in the process of making a terraformer tool for sc4 here are some shots my own region timbuktu a map made by desz ( Desz Compact Region V12 ) with some sunken highway the sunken highway in wireframe this one is edited I'm willing to know if there is enough of interests in this kind of tools What is actually done, is the displaying of the real elevation from savegame, you can freely move in It's in python with C/C++ code, the display is done in opengl but I consider moving to DX as I've done a lot more stuff with DX. What I plan is to provide tools ( via plugin ? ) to mimics those in the sc4 so anyone can do hand terraforming in region. Also I plan to have an import/export of the elevation data so handterraformed region can be exchanged. And if there is still some interest, provide specific tools like 'build a sunken highway from there to there', etc... Any comments suggestions, etc... are very welcome

Please PM wouanagaine if you have any questions about this article. This tutorial shows you a step by step tutorial on how I made those curved roads you can spot in the regional view of the header. I think it's quite an efficient method. I was inspired by the Curved highway Tutorial by Thalassicus, but unfortunately the move to ST5.0 removed the pics. But for summary, you place signs where you want the highway to pass through and refine the process and then build the highway between signs. For further explanations you can search the forums for "curved highway." What this tutorial shows is a way to have a visual clue for the layout of the road (or any other network) so that you can plan where it will go. First step is to set the "crime" view on I apologize for the French on the picture. Now open you police menu And place one of your police building on the land. By placing different buildings, you'll see each one has a different radius for the curves. Place the buildings so that some of the lines touch each other. Choose wisely and you'll be able to draw a good looking network. Now you can start building your network, making it follow along where the line goes. Ok, now your network is complete. Time to destroy the police buildings and see the result Looks correct at level 2 zoom Looks correct in the traffic view. You can of course use this technique with any building that has a 'radius lines,' and it works with any network. I hope you have appreciated this quick "how-to". I'm sure that you'll find plenty of use for this. If you have any questions about this article, please PM wouanagaine.

great work guys can you please review my cj ?

Great pictures ! Did you plop or let the game grow them ( especially in the 2 last pics. Everything seems so well placed )

Here is mine regional view and some transitions

John, you've managed to make me unhide from my lurking mode I just want to tell you that you've always been a great source of inspiration to my playing style and that all the little tutorials spread over AVR are a great source of knowledge Take care ! going back to lurking

The pic is not over, it is the pic If you have only water, move all your plugins out of your plugins folder, run the game and open/save each water cities if you use a water mod, leave it in your plugins

Originally posted by: bbfan02 Well, when I download a package of $$$ houses, when I plopped them, they always hav the "no job" sign on top of them. Can u get them to not hav that sign on top of them?quote>No, you can't ( you can remove zot using the tastyzots cheat code, but the effect is still there ) Residential plops don't work.

Terraform, save, open the region in SC4

I can However, having vista myself and not able to run SC4TF on it ( I have not try very hard ), I won't have any suggestions to give when someone will ask for help about the vista compatibility. So until I figure out myself the way to run it, it will remain XP only

I'm not using .NET, so I don't see how this can help ( however who knows with Vista ) The thing is I have not managed to get it run myself, but I know others that run it, and it certainly have to do with the DX dll. Try to set the compatibilty to WinXP SP2 to see if it helps It would have been good to post that in the SC4TF support thread instead of creating a new thread NOB can you merge this topic with the SC4TF support thread please ?

Try to run the installer with Admin privilege

Hey Morpheus, I wish there was more people like you that read thru previous pages ! It saves a lot of time Thank you

Thx JP for taking care

0-100 is because it is displayed in percentage of white ( 0 = black 100= white ), no matter if you use 1bit, 8bit, or 16bit As I said in another post, in 16bit mode a lot of CS2 tool are disabled, and you can't specify a 16bit gray, but at least you have some filters and some layer tools that are not in SC4TF
