canyonjumper: i was looking more-so for an actual-scale one... with all large cities. You know of one like that?

There are a few maps on the STEX, just search "Vancouver", and select "maps" below the search field.

I know that there is a 10x10 large city Vancouver map on the STEX, just keep looking through the map files, try the pages after about, 75. You can change the STARTPAGE= number in the address bar.

I'd love an NHP Vancouver map myself.. only because you are sure to get a quality map that way.

Ok then, I'll get it rendered and released within 7-10 days.  I have a few other maps I'm in the process of getting ready for rendering, so once they are ready, I'll get Vancouver done along with them. :thumbsup:

Alrighty, I decided to render Vancouver and here is the finished product ;D  I used cp's Meadowshire terrain mod for the render.

You can tell it's realistic because of the lack of snow on the mountains!

Or is this a joke only funny to Vancouverites?

They'd have to read this (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/01/20/bc-cypress-mountain-no-snow.html) to get the joke ;D

I used a modified version of cp's Meadowshire mod where I raised the snow level to a higher elevation.  I hate getting snow at 1000M or less so I was taught how to modify that aspect of the mod and made several modified files for different levels of snow with several of cp's terrain mods. :)

does anyone know of a snow capped mod that works with the games default terrain? 

Also, when are you going to relese the map? soon hopefully ;)

For the past several days I have not been able to do much while online because my mouse is broken.  It double, triple, quadruple clicks every time I click on a link or what-not.  It's going to be at least a couple to 3 weeks before I can replace it, so until then, I can't upload anything.  As soon as I can replace my broken mouse, I'll be releasing the Vancouver map.  Sorry for the delay. &mmm

Haven't got a new mouse yet.  This one seems to be working for the moment so I took the chance and uploaded everything. :thumbsup:  New wireless mouse on order :)
