SC4MAPPER 2013 Question

[doug_w]

Have just gotten back into playing SimCity 4 and want to create a region for Sydney, Australia

Has anyone successfully created a region using an RGB image in SC4Mapper.

Have been trying to create a region for Sydney from a relief map, but it produces strange results.

Your best bet is to use a contour map and paint it in greyscale in a height map. If you can determine elevation with the RGB image you have, then that should work too. Unfortunately there's no shortcut method for creating maps, although I was under the impression that a Sydney map was already available.

EDIT: I found the Sydney Map: https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/24207-stunning-sydney-in-sixteen-bits/

Thanks for your reply APSMS, much appreciated.

Haven't visited the Simtropolis site before. Thank you for the link and have downloaded the file.
