Map Template for Developers
DownloadCenter: Map Template »
Since I do a lot of testing, I made a little map for just that purpose. It is not really meant for playing the game (though of course it can be, if you're willing to do a lot of reversed terraforming), but pretty handy for any tester, developer and folks with not-so-new-hardware.
SPECS
- The map is 513x257 and has eight medium tiles
- All coastlines are perfect diagonals and orthogonals (in a SC4-sense)
- The coastlines (including the seabottom) are levelled, ready to plop boardwalks, harbors, seawalls or similar
- Some areas on land are raised in 15m steps (max. 30m), to test NAM_puzzles, raised or sunken networks, landwalls or similar
- All tiles are rendered, ready to use – just plop the whole thing in your 'Regions'-folder (store a copy outside as well, so you can re-use it again and again). I presume you know how to change region/city/mayor names
- All are set to 'Medium' difficulty, after the expensive terraforming all budgets have been restored to 200.000
- Grayscale image is included (but then you'd have to do all the terraforming and importing yourself
- Config.bmp is included
- Works fine with 'Columbus', 'Brigantine', 'Mossy Rock'(PPond) ... and probably any other as well
Dependencies
- none
Install
Just move the files into the 'Regions' directory under My Documents/Sim city 4.
