SC4Mapper is a tool that you will definitly need if you want to import/export SC4M files.
It does not require SC4Terraformer to run. It is basically SC4Terraformer without the terraforming tools and without 3D, so DirectX is not required
A readme is included, teaching you how to use the tool

SC4Mapper can be found here unzip and run SC4Mapper.exe
you may need :
MSCVP71.DLL - It can be found here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71

If you are having trouble with SC4Mapper, please download the new (2013) version here (linky)

It's a great tool, but seriously, FileDen SUCKS when it comes to downloading things...

Duh, can you expand it a bit ?
I found Fileden very usefull for uploading, folder managment, zip, batch uploads, and the best feature IMO is that filenames do not change contrary to imageshack
The free account can have 500Mb and a 20Gb bandwith per months

The tools by Wouanagaine have given simcity4 yet another life ... I am using the different programs for all kinds of tasks, but one things I feel is still missing in the map making department. When I open a sc4M in Mapper and save region it fantastically creates the new region in my game ... however, a number of the great maps by the NHP all have big city tiles. I like to play with medium tiles for a number of reasons ... I have yet not find a way to change the embedded config file in the SC4M file to the one I want.

Is this possible?

If "yes", could somebody explain it to me.

If "no", is it perhaps an idea to enhance the program with such an option, if possible of course.

Thanks in advance.

Serkanner....  That is a good request.  I can tell you how to do this using SC4Terraformer.  But since I use SC4Terraformer I dont use SC4Mapper.

To change the config.bmp for a map.

1. Open SC4TF and open your region.
2. Save it as and SC4M file.
3. Close SC4TF
4. Open the region folder for this region.  Edit the config.bmp to your liking.  And make sure that the config.bmp is the only file in the region folder.
5. Open SC4TF and open the blank region you just created with your new config.bmp
6. Now Import your SC4M file you created before changing the config.bmp
7. File->Save
8. Enter SC4 and play away!

Hope this is helpfull Serkanner.

Thank you for the fast reply and thorough explanation. Unfortunately there is one problem. My version of SC4TF doesn't have an "import" or "save as" option. Its either load or create. underneath the "file" button. And the only save option is the one that creates the region in SC4 itself ...

jplumbley

Hi Serkanner,

No problem.  Your version does have the Import and save as command.  If you are using SC4Terraformer.  All versions do and did. (wouanagaine correct me if it is an older version than my testing days). The import is under Global Tools about 3rd or 4th from bottom.  And the Save is in the File menu.  Save is the only way to save your map to SC4.

That did the trick ...  :thumbsup:  ... the export button is indeed hidden in "global tools". Thanks for the big help.

Glad to help out Serkanner!!

Serkanner, I think JeanLucPicard mentionned a config editor in his released on the board

I have not implemented it in SC4Mapper or SC4TF, but I'm thinking of it ( along other things :) )

SC4Mapper isn't working for me for some reason.  The SC4M files load fine, but when I try to save them nothing happens.  After getting impatient, I'll quit and get an error report.  The log file says this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 863, in SaveRgn
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This has happened to me several times (I can be very stubborn when I want something to work)()testing()

I am not sure what I am doing wrong - I have downloaded and installed SC4Mapper just fine.  Only problem is when I try and open it up it - well - it seems to ignore me............ %confuso
I know I have all the files in system32 I need - I checked carefully.  I also checked all the threads on all the forums I could find to see if someone else had a solution.
The text file created with the error says:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1006, in OnClose
  File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1009, in ShowMain
  File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 278, in __init__
UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-4: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

Also my pc insists the program is running when I restart it - but it doesn't show up in Task Manager.  I am running Vista and have 1.5gb of RAM installed

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  There are some great regions I would love to use!!!

wouanagaine

get the latest one on the LEX and remove config.ini from the installation folder
