Hi all, I made a 3D viewer which now can open whole SimCity4 regions in addition to SimCity2000 cities. Of course it's an MVP/WIP, to prove it can be done, and doesn't look very good and many things are missing from the import. I've opened this topic in modders because I think at this stage it is only technically relevant. Some things require more research. To my knowledge, no one has decoded the network subfile 1 or how bridges or highways are saved (at least I didn't find it). This tool, when developed further, could also be used for inspecting lots or savegame editing. I'd be interested to discuss possibilities or how to go on and cooperation. What's more or less working: - terrain height - roads, streets, rail, avenue - lots (most of the buildings are the same as in Sc2K due to convenience) - agriculture (terrain layer is used) - flora subfile What's missing: - bridges, tunnels, highway (somehow not in the network subfile 1?) - diagonal road and rail slopes (display of these is buggy, not decoded how they are saved) - stations of any kind, civic buildings - props (meaning any detail of terrain, vegetation, custom mods etc) - non-standard region sizes (only 1024x1024 are tested) - popular mods (NAM, RHW, SAM etc) How to use (Windows only): - download zip file from my website, unzip and run TiledCityViewer.exe (app is made with Unity) - press import region and select any city in the region folder Youtube video of perspective, train ride and night mode here Thanks to: - Simtropolis - Sc4Reader by Tropod - Sc4save by wouanagaine - iLive Reader Legal: TiledCityViewer is not supported, endorsed or authorized by Electronic Arts or Maxis.
