    G'Day Simtropians, Today I have for download the full HD star mod. If one has downloaded and installed either of the previous mods there is no need to remove them as this will overwrite the files. This mod completely changes the region and city backgrounds and also the city tile edges to a HD star background. It is compatible with all terrain mods with the included patch files. All textures have been individually tuned to match each zoom level for seamless transitions. A comprehensive readme is included with links to support pages if needed. I think that's all Cheers

    G'Day Simtropians, Today, I looked into these backgrounds a little closer and deciding they were a little gummy thought I would fix them up somewhat. These new versions are more like HD, there are more stars and they are much more sharper at all zooms. The bottom pics show the old versions at the same zoom level. Thanks to everyone who downloaded, commented and rated the originals. I am going to banish them to the nether regions of the etherworld as they have become superfluous and take up space on the STEX. Same deal backup the png files in C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins then overwrite with these new ones. That's it and thanks Cheers

    G'Day Simtropians, Today's map for show and tell, I offered to make for SirRaunaldi, who was having some difficulty. Thanks for taking up my offer, Raunaldi. I have not included all the lakes so one can add some with god mode. The barrier islands are complete and offer some diversity as the map is... well flat. Raunaldi was telling me average height above sea level is a mere thirteen feet. Makes for wet tootsies I should think. See this map up CLOSE and personal. This a small map at 28.672km x 28.672km. It's terrain and scale accurate and in .SC4M format. As such it requires Wouanagaine's mapper or terraformer to import it into one's game. Links and instructions are in the readme.

    G'Day Simtropians, Today I am presenting a map requested by Marsh, thanks mate. Nothing in particular was the request , but something Greek. So I have chosen Agia Triada and the Peninsula of Pelion. See me up CLOSE and personal. This is a real world map and was produced with dem and satellite data. It measures 65.536km x 53.248km and utilising 16bit mapping technology it is in .png format. Wouanagaine's mapper or terraformer is required for importation. The map is terrain and scale accurate. Due to the STEX being locked at 8MB I have not uploaded the usual .SC4M file but I have included the 16bit .png file instead. This saves about 1MB in size and works exactly like the .SC4M file. One still requires mapper or terraformer to import it. Do not change the colours or the bit depth otherwise it will not work. A readme has been included containing some links and instructions and a picture. I think that's all. Cheers

    G'Day Simtropians, Are you tired of being that two bit mayor of a run down hovel? Do you think you may have some blue blood but fate has dealt you a bum hand? Perhaps it's time to set your sights a little higher and take on the role of a Grand Duke no less in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Why run a city when you can run a whole country! See me up CLOSE and personal. This is a real world map and was produced with dem data, Wouangaine's mapper is required to import it into sc4. If using the new mapper no patching is required. It measures 106.496km x 155.648km and is terrain and scale accurate. A readme is included holding links and instructions. I think that's all. Cheers

    G'Day Simtropians, After reading a post by the Nonny moose it got me to thinking about resolutions suitable to render large tiles without the render bug, previously I have always rendered in a 1280x1024 window. A window allow one to leave SC4 still running and do other stuff but more importantly, inside the window is running at native resolution, In my case 2560x1440, unfortunately SC4 will not run at this resolution too well. Anyhow I have other windowed shortcuts 1920x1200 and alas the the missing terrain texture afflicts it. After reading Nonny's post I decided to try a 1920x1080 window and whatiya know? SC4 rendered the large tile perfectly. As an aside scrolling in region view at this resolution in a window is back to normal without the jerky fits and starts I had been putting up with for years at 1280x1024. I also tried 2048x1152 but SC4 could not open it as a window and in full screen did not look like the full 2048 and however rendered the large tile with the missing strip. So I decided to check what other custom resolutions would render complete large tiles and have made a set of nine custom buttons. two will not open a window on my machine here and are rather odd sizes 1400x1050, I have a couple of older IBM laptops with this resolution and 1680x945 This is the resolution of an 18" Toshiba laptop I have. Both run in full screen and render ok. Same deal as the standard set: Use only one(1) dat that matches one's resolution. Place a ball bearing or other heavyish object on the F8 hotkey. Triple click away for speedy rendering of SC4M maps. That I think is about all, no wait, there's a readme included. Cheers

    G'Day Simtropians, Well it seems San Francisco was deleted after it was pegged as bad, well it ain't bad just big. 20MB and a touch over 90km per side. There are some special requirements for this large map: 1. A 64bit version of windows. 2. More than 8GB of ram. 3. Wouanagaine's Mapper (Not terraformer). There is a readme included. Use it if you are unsure how to deal with SC4M files. That's about all. Cheers

    Ho Ho Ho Simtropians, Merry Christmas. Today's map is courtesy of a request by Mtt9, thanks mate. It is of Cornwall and Devon in the southwest of England. It is a greyscale map and measures 210.944km x 152.576km. It is accurate in terrain and scale and was produced with dem and satellite data. A custom non-eroding height plugin is included. See me up CLOSE and personal. There are some caveats with a map of this size: 1. A 64bit operating system is needed. 2. SimCity 4 need to be patched with the 4GB patcher. 3. Not all cities can be scrolled to in game. If one is using a terrain mod the custom height plugin has to be pasted into a z folder or if using Gobias's terrain mod a zzzz folder in the Plugins Directory. This is a normal greyscale map. It renders in-game and will take some time, be patient it took 84 minutes on my 'puter (734 tile). It may take longer on yours. A readme is included with instructions. That I think is about all. Cheers, get drunk it's christmas.
