UKLargeMP map

[kennelly]

Originally posted to 'britain' thread in Mods - Talk, now I've read the guidelines on where to upload maps, I'm putting it in the correct place...


Attached is a working version of my "UKLargeMP" map for you to try out, if you like.

It works for me (and I think plays reasonably well), but I can't guarantee no crashes etc...

Key features:
- Large 15x15 size map (maximum available)
- Based on Firaxis' original UK scenario
- Supply and demand fiddled with
- 23 new cities, including my home town (= Felixstowe)
- Industries less conveniently placed, and somewhat more realistically sited for the UK (e.g. Lowestoft fisheries, Nottingham textiles)
- I've attempted to make the profitable routes hard to find by keeping industries scarce - to encourage competition
- mountainous areas smoothed out a bit (got rid of the hills in East Anglia!)
- London has terminii (Paddington, Waterloo etc.) - not sure about this, feedback welcomed.
- Works or without with the "global XML" map installation method described in 'Trouble loading maps??? Read this.' (I've taken out the RRT_Goods.xml from this version, as its not needed)
- I'm also working on a single-player version, UKEast2West, 1918-1980 - but the eras/goals are a bit mad, currently.

Oh yes, to answer the question about the fish, yes it was my intention to make villages accept fish even without canneries - there are actually 3 canneries available if you look hard enough...
or you could look at the XML, but that's cheating!

Now I'm going to get karsten's L'pool and Manchester and give that a whirl... Looks really good...

I always thought you Brits were a bit fishy. That BBC channel we get over here and Harry Potter

Kennelly,

I have tried the map a couple times. I have noticed that I do not get paid for delivery of passengers.

Not too sure if I can figure why - probably a problem in the XML?

Good map - plays better if gets paid for passengers.

Attached is an installer for this map.

hi the map is really good & you added in the main cities in devon & cornwall.
since i can't make maps that look real could someone make a map based on either of any of the two pics i've uploaded with this post
Many thanks Matt m

Yeah I had the same problem and transporting passengers and mail is one of my favorite aspects of the game and I just do the other stuff to pay the bills so not having PX revenue is kinda bad. Also where is Brighton Beach? I was kind of surprised that it is not on the map

Well, for you guys who want to get paid for dragging those silly Englishmen around..........go into RRT_Cities_UKLargeMP and replace this:

<Resource>
<Input>Passengers</Input>
<Output>None</Output>
<InputOutputRatio>0.0</InputOutputRatio>
<MaxStorage>0.0</MaxStorage>
</Resource>
<!-- add demand for mail -->
<Resource>
<Input>Mail</Input>
<Output>None</Output>
<InputOutputRatio>0.0</InputOutputRatio>
<MaxStorage>0.0</MaxStorage>
</Resource>

with this:

<Resource>
<Input>Passengers</Input>
<Output>None</Output>
<InputOutputRatio>0.000000</InputOutputRatio>
<MaxStorage>0.000000</MaxStorage>
</Resource>
<Resource>
<Input>Mail</Input>
<Output>None</Output>
<InputOutputRatio>0.000000</InputOutputRatio>
<MaxStorage>0.000000</MaxStorage>
</Resource>

Do it for the Villages also, then remove the part having to do with the passengers. I'm not sure what all the zeros have to do with it, but it seems to work.

Added Installer and SAM version to first post.

Something is wrong with this map and Cattle farm...We have Cattle farm near Nottingham but we haven't industry for it. Yes in SAM map but there I have another problem...game going too fast.

[Warll]

Try clicking on a city and building a player made factory, I would imagine that there should be an option for the correct factory.

I don't know about the SAM version, but if you use the installer by Atani in this thread it will work.
(The same files are also in the SAM version, but they will be in the UserMaps folder)

To add demand for livestock replace the RRT_Industries_UKLargeMP.xml with the enclosed Zip file of the same name.
If you want to slow down the game replace the RRT_Scenario_UKLargeMP.xml file wirh the ZIP of the same name. This will slow the game by 50%

Both files are located at C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\CustomAssets\XML\_SCENARIOS_\UKLargeMP
