You can change the looks of trees, shrubs, rocks, by editing the XXXX_DIFF.DDS files found in C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\Assets\Trees And save the result in the UserMaps folder C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\UserMaps Here are some wh...

The tunnels properties are specified in the RRT_Tunnels.XLM File. You can change them. The file starts with extensive notes as what can be done and what the commands are. If you do any alteration the revised XML file should go in the UserMaps\MAP folder, but the name will stay the same: RRT_Tunnels....

I think I know what happened. If you look at the 901 x 901 TGA map I’ve sent, there is a small yellow corner at the upper left and the lower right. If you look at the map you sent those corners are white. It means that it was converted from a 24 bit color to a Grayscale map. The map dimensions are t...

I thought you never ask.
Here is the TGA and the DDS map. Replace your old ones.

PS. Before you do this, can you post the old maps.I'd like to see them, to figure what vent wrong.

The top 901 X 901 square is the height-map. You must have accidentally pasted some stuff in the other squares and that will show up. The second square is what I call “terrain”.

EDIT: I got into the map and it's all water. Before opening I got a message saying invalid map size and it gave me the same number of square units as the map size has always been. WTF? Because you are not following instructions. 1. Delete the C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads! ...

EDIT: A bit confused. Exactly where do I save this .tga folder to? The tutorial said to the usermaps folder in my documents but I just want to be sure. I am trying to tell you to read the mapmaking tutorial. Lets start from the beginning: First you have to make a blank map with the terrain editor. ...

Meanwhile please read the Mapmaking Tutorial.
It's important!!!
