Smr Simple!

Oh Hey, does this mean that you don't have anything in the UserMaps folder??

Umm, wouldn't this thread be more useful in the Mods - Talk section?

Excellent information and it totallly makes sense. Not the easiest way for the user but game developers don't always make things easy for the modding community. Thanx for your efforts. I had been hesitent on adding map mods till I had finished more of the game but if others try this and have success...

Yeah, I've been getting the feeling from reading a bunch of other posts that if you change some of the gameplay in one scenario it will effect other scenarios as well. If this is true then I think this would be a bug because I feel all aspects of a scenario should be seperate from the others. I wond...

Did you do step 4? If so then you need to go to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\UserMaps\<scenarioname>\map_<scenarioname>.tga <scenarioname> is the name you gave your new scenario (map) when you created it in the Terrain Editor. You will use that ma...

That would basically just be lowering the brightness. The darker your grayscale image is the closer to water level it comes.

Teach me to pay attention eh?
Thanx for letting me know and my apologies to Mr. Kennelly for the error.
Will rectify that immediately. If not sooner.

And You're Welcome, My Pleasure

Yeah, I plan to investigate the gray levels a little more to see at what level 'sea level' actually is. I wonder if there is a scale factor in the XML files that might make mountains higher or lower cuz that could add a little confusion to things. Are talking about banding? It can happen because DEM...

Well, let's see. I'm not at home with all my stuff but I'll give it my best shot. Please note I'm no expert here this is just what I have done so far. I hope Mike Kennelly doesn't mind me referencing his tutorials here. :) Also I can elaborate on this if needed and/or add it to the Wiki. Let me know...

Coming Up . . .
I will post it in the Mods - Talk section.

EDIT: Okay, I have posted a basic tutorial over in the Mods - Talk section.

I totally dig this concept since it's what I always try to do when playing the game. I was getting a little annoyed in one map when it kept trying to tunnel when I didn't want one.

Yeah, I totaly forgot about the boundaries and cropped to tightly. Like I said this is my first 'throw together' attemp after trying to get all of the Australia data into one image file. I will definitely go back and tweak...actually start over...now that I see it works. I couldn't use 3DEM because ...

Okay guys, this is my first attempt at using Digital Elevation Map data. I grabbed the GTopo30 data of the world and created a Height Map and Terrain Map from it then pieced it together into the TGA composite image. I then loaded up Railroads and created a 225 sq unit map and saved it. Closed Railro...

Good work man.

Yeah, I went there and it's a pretty kewl tool but you can only download small areas of data. Not bad for a few states I'd think but not for a whole country. It looks like it would be useful for TerrainMap pictures too. I'm working on creating HeightMap images from the GTopo30 data.
