Title: Custom map problems

These weird grid lines keep showing up on every map I download and import into the game. This is the Eaton map. I had it before, and this wasn't a problem. I had the game render the map the first time, and it worked perfectly. This time I used SC4Mapper, and these lines showed up. I deleted everything, tried again using the game to render, grid lines still there. I removed the terrain texture mod, same thing on stock Maxis green. Reinstalled the terrain mod, still grid lines. Someone please help!

That's because it's the simcity 4 grid. Helps you lay road, zones, plop buildings ect. You can hide it by typing G on your keyboard. Retyping G will show the grid again.

Also please, don't upload png pictures. They're extremely heavy and can take quite a lot of time to load for some people. Convert the picture to jpg (open in paint, save as .jpg or .jpeg). Also it's better to resize the picture as some people are still using some small resolution screens.

[img width=1024] [ /img] is very useful to resize the picture. :)

You can find a list of all the keyboard shortcuts here: http://www.wiki.sc4devotion.com/index.php?title=Keyboard_Shortcuts. It would be a good idea to bookmark that page. :)
