  1. Version 1.0.0

    Brave Explorers and City Builders! Welcome to the World of Pokemon! Set before you lies a MASSIVE world based on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, specifically SUPER mystery dungeon which includes maps from its previous games as the "continents" of the entire world and its famous locations! This map is a rendition of u/Eddyk28 's Interactive PMD world map using the UHD solid color version, rendering borders, sea, and land to an appropriate grayscale to have the basic outline! No mountains nor undersea lakes have been rendered, although that might come at a later version (or someone will beat me to it, idk) WARNING! Due to the sheer size of this map (128 X 96), I HIGHLY recommend using SC4Mapper (scaled at 100m) to create the region using the given grayscale and config files. Otherwise, you WILL have to wait around 150 minutes just to load the entire map. SC4Mapper should generate it in 15 minutes, tops. In addition, some locations are almost--if not completely--innaccessible due to the limits of the camera for a map of this size, most notably this island at the northeast corner: Your best access to it is to try to reach reach the city's southwest corner with just enough luck before the camera snaps, but not like there's anything special with it anyway. SPECIAL THANKS: u/Eddyk28 on reddit who has made his map open source as a resource for the layout. Matias93, Cyclone Boom, and SIM-ple Jack for a little help with grayscaling issues for a Freshman like me Tarkus for helping recreate my sc4devotion account after a couple of fickles with not receiving an email after a password reset. (I'm pretty sure some of us has gone through that) Lucario Boricua for no reason other than having a Lucario for his avatar (okay he's just been a bit of an inspiration after watching his tips and tricks with Rob that I might use in the future) Sources: https://eddyk28.github.io/PMD Map/info.html

  2. Grayscale issue: Only coastlines are rendered!

    Insane Buizel replied to Insane Buizel's topic in Mapping Community Room

    This has been helping me a lot and cutting down so much time. All that's left is to find the right gray and the right scale factor. I might get it done and release the first iteration of the map by tomorrow. Thank you all! -IB

    aaand, SC4 just instantly shut down. Nothing was lost tho.

  4. Grayscale issue: Only coastlines are rendered!

    Insane Buizel replied to Insane Buizel's topic in Mapping Community Room

    The original image has always been a .png and so has the exported grayscale. I never tried a BMP, but it might be worth checking out. It's gonna take SC4 a couple of hours to render as usual. I'll post updates but in the meantime hopefully someone else can point out other potential root causes.
  5. Please note I am still a beginniner trying to render grayscale to SC4, but I am having a troublesome issue: I am trying to render a 128X96 small city map with a grayscale map that I have painted myself manually through photoshop (because I have noticed that using the Convert Isolines tool as part of the SC4 Terraformer map gets stuck on "building distance map for level XX.") For secret reasons, below is a sample of the entire map I am trying to render: Whereas here is the grayscale version I have created in Photoshop : And here is the result after waiting at least 2 hours on Simcity4: What I have noticed is that the rendering starts from sea level and only rises in height slightly at the coastlines of my grayscale image. The "land" parts of my region are not accounted for at all and are just sent down to sea level. I had to click on Raise Terrain Level several times to show this result. Is there something I am doing wrong? Are my gray values the wrong value for below sea level and above it? I know I have rendered the grayscale image into 8-bit, otherwise SC4 would have done nothing at all, but am I missing a step such as the resample settings before png coversion? I am certain there may be a lot I am doing wrong but I need help figuring out any sources of this issue. This is my first map I am rendering, after all, but I am making a large map... because I can . Can anyone help me on this?

  6. SC4Terraformer: Not Enough RAM?

    Insane Buizel replied to Insane Buizel's topic in Mapping Community Room

    Lol that was easy, I was having a lot of trouble using the 4gb patch just yesterday running into errors, but apparently it works now! Thanks!
  7. I am working on a huuuuge map with a config size of 128 x 96 small cities, so evidently I run into a couple of errors depending on how I try to load it: If I open the region on startup, I easily reach the window asking me what cities not to terraform but then it just closes, (actually not really, it just runs in the background with no window) If I open the region after I have loaded an existing region (e.g. if berlin is already open) I get an error message saying I don't have enough ram. It may be understandable that my ram size might not be enough to run it, but my PC build consists of 64 GB on an 8-core processor. Maybe the program is too old and it hasn't figured out how to run on more than a max limit of 16gb? (I dont know how much it takes, that's just my guess). Is there anyway to try to change its settings such that it can use all the ram needed to load such a region?
  8. I am trying to set up an account on the SC4 lot exchange only to realize that my email address already registered with it. I thought I could log in to my old account that I might have registered with a long time ago, so I attempted to reset my password. After hitting the password reset button, I have not received an email for password reset. It has been about a month, and I am not sure what the problem is. Can someone please help me with this issue? my account username should be somewhere along the lines of Insane_Buizel. If you need an email, lmk via dm somehow (excuse my ignorance, I am new to this site)
