It happened with every map. For example I downloaded the Lyon map, followed the instructions, rendered the map. Boom!! All map was water My plugins folder is empty. 2 things that I think of. 1) I am using SC4 deluxe, maps r not working with it ( all of it? :S) 2) I do something wrong with grayscale. ( I open it with photoshop, choose image/mode= grayscale-8bit) I am confused =((
What I do in photoshop.
In red, the original map, but u can see the difference between mine.
By the way, I guess the problem is "height mod". I tried it with 1000m with lyon and it was good. I will try for others and give feedback soon. =))
BUT !!! I didn't get the logic, excuse me. When I load Paris map with an empty Plugins folder, my result is Paris with a lot of water. When I only use 250m plugin it s all under water :S when I use 500m same with the 1st one, when with the 1000m too much elevated Paris. How do we need to use these plugins :S There is also an "import". What does it serve for?
EDIT: very interesting that after saving the jpeg as a grayscale with"irfanview" program and rendering, it went perfect for all maps without a height mod. Problem solved. lol
