Yes! I just happened to stumble across his github this morning! His work on decompression is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Hello, Long time player here, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to more resources with regards to reading maps and regions? I'd like to inspect individual tiles on a map: is it occupied? anything underground? location on grid, etc. I'd like to do the same at a region level. I've got the ilive_reader and guide; but before I dive-in I'd like to see if there's anything more I can read. Perhaps down to the level for an API? Thanks in advance Updating with leads: Youtube video, SC4MAPPER from: How to Install SimCity Regions Downloaded from Simtropolis by Rob's Red Hot Spot: Tool-specific forums Saved game thread A wiki (): Another update: If we open a .sc4 file with a Hex Editor: the first 4 byte's are 'DBPF', as in Database Packed File (DBPF) These files have compression Ok, I'm exactly where I wanted to be. Unbelievable work from this community.
