Hi, I'm dobdriver.
I don't often post a lot on forums, but recently I began to make maps for sc4 and upload them to the stex. Joel pm'd me enquiring as to whether I would consider joining the fledgling team which I might add, I duly jumped at.
I make real world maps and mostly they're of Aus and NZ but I'll look at at PNG and India as they're on our plate.
I've sort of started a series of big maps of Aus capitals beginning with Brisbane, but I'll expand this to include NZ and maybe Port Moresby. these really aren't for the faint hearted as they are and will be in the 80 to 100km range. get your fast puters going and thank god for wouanagaine's mapper.
take it easy
dobdriver
Looking forward to more. Your maps look excellent, if a little intimidating size wise! Love the idea of doing the capitals...
(btw what ARE you doing in your avatar?!? :))
Welcome aboard dob!
Can't wait to see your progress here! :thumbsup:
Havva good one,
Adrian.
Good to see you posting here Dobdriver, and I very much look forward to seeing your maps here, and on the LEX :)
thanks gents
i gotta few ideas kicking around
things, thats a 20" telescope i built over a couple of years. the lazy susan type setup to move it around the sky is known as a dobsonian mount, hence my nick.
take it easy
G'day gang,
Well Melbourne is finally done!!!
and I got 2 extra freeby maps out of it, so I'll release them tomorrow probably
anyhow ttfn
take it easy
dobdriver
Looks great mate, top work with these. what does ttfn mean? (I've got a theory but I'll wait for you to say it)
Oh & congratulations on your first official TD release! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I believe that ttfn means "ta ta for now"... ;)
Excellent work here Dob, these are superb maps...
Phillip Island sounds like a nice place for a drive, doesn't it? :P
Havva good one,
Adrian.
G'Day again,
Thanks thingfishs, like the little banner, I thought I'd save it more for a biggish map. Seems like the rest of the world doesn't want to build on outback icons. Everyone wants to come to Australia and climb Ayers Rock, but when one can have it in one's own back yard, hmpt not interested, strange.
Ah things ttfn = ta ta for now. And glad you like the telescope, hmm and let me see ah yes I got me some plans and another big chunk of glass coming.....
Also back to a more serious note, well not really. anyhow I've released Phillip Is on the stex (1 of the freebies) and will release the other tomorrow.
So now I'll make a start on Wellington
take it easy
dobdriver
while I was typing you were posting :D
Awesome, Wellington (presuming you mean Wellington, NZ) would be an awesome place to build a region. Lots of interesting terrain, some flat, lots of hills. I'd actually love to do a recreation of there someday...
G'Day just letting everyone and I mean everyone know that I've posted the Geelong piece on the stex.
Will it be Wellington next week? find out tomorrow, same bat time same bat channel
ttfn
take it easy
I think I'm allowed to dp here,
anyhow Wellington, Mt Augustus and Wollongong have been released.
Take it easy
dobdriver
These are some nice maps, great job on them and I have some questions that I sent you via PM. :thumbsup: Again, nice work on these.
I think these maps are absolutely amazing. Maybe you should show some pictures here, and link to the STEX?
Great job!
agreed that should put pictures and links here, I think that Wellington map is probably the single most impressive map I've seen, 10/10
Thanks Blade
I think as I get more used to producing these sorts of maps and with experience I will produce better maps. But I do enjoy making them and as there are not a lot of Australian maps around, there is a lot of Australia to map.
Joel and things,
Thanks gents for the the compliments, I will post some pics and links but probably not until next week. I'm sort of caught up trying to work through this stretching of the maps stuff.
take it easy
dobdriver
Don't stress, do it when you want. Do it if you want. :D

The island map looks interesting. My minds eye already sees possibility. Banana and Coffee plantations on the lower slopes. Fishing industry. Mining in the mountains. A series of hotels along the Eastern Shores
BTW - It was a quick donwload.

G'Day Devotees,
I've been a bit busy on other projects of late and as such have not had time to drop in here and update stuff.
First up thanks Things, you ought to see the whip marks on the poor old girl but she's lovin' it. Cheers and thanks a lot.

As long as you've got a safe word.
btw you've been putting out some quality work while I've been "out in the bush", enough so that I think I've been a distraction. But what's life without distraction, right?
holy moley :)
Bateman's Bay looks familiar. i can remember attempting to make that one without success. :P
nice work :thumbsup:
Quote from: dobdriver on June 05, 2010, 08:58:58 PM...who said map making was pushing a few buttons. :thumbsup:
I did. ;) I make my maps with a few clicks of the mouse. Takes roughly 5 minutes per map to convert the DEM to 16bit pngs, then another hour on average working on the maps in TF.
that may be true for some maps, but there's no way to produce all the water features in the Saulte Ste Marie map in a straightforward way (without them being horribly crude). Thanks Dobs for going to such inhuman lengths with your maps, the proof is in the pudding. :thumbsup:
Actually, it's true for all accurately scaled maps, depends how much time you want to spend on said map. :thumbsup:
Quote from: blade2k5 on July 22, 2010, 03:36:14 PM
depends how much time you want to spend on said map. :thumbsup:
that's exactly my point. It's in the taking of time that great maps (usable smooth rivers and coastlines), are produced.
That may be true for some mappers and the technique they used, but there are those of us who have been doing this for so long and have so much experience in map making that it doesn't take a tremendous amount of time to do so. That was my point. :)
So it's not how much time you "want to spend" on it, but how much time you need to spend on it. Your point was that, in time, dobdriver will be able to achieve the same results he is currently achieving, but in a shorter period? Well hopefully that is true (and thanks for pointing it out).
Just as long as he achieves those same results.
While I was out, some lively discussion, Excellent.
Blade as you should know the devil is in the details. :thumbsup:
Things, I have always tried to make quality and accuracy a hallmark of my maps.
Personally I think if it ever came down to a couple of clicks for these types of maps it would be called landscape designer. :thumbsup:

I like how you've given the countryside the post apocalyptic look. And the size, brilliant I can zoom it up and see stuff, Thanks very much.

Very nice map Drunkdobs, it seems that map will be hard to build on. But in this game anything is possible! I am jealous of everyone's regions here, all have done a great job.

Thanks little mate for your words of encouragement to city builders everywhere, Maestro's region certainly does show what can be achieved on a not so easy map and some encouragement for you, keep playing and try out different ideas. If something doesn't work, ditch it and attack the problem from a different angle. do not be afraid to do something new. This is how I've gone about map making.

Nice one Dobs! I've sent off a stack of letters, hope I hear a reply soon. I can't stand it when people can't accept criticism of their work... ;)
Wonderfull maps that you creat Dobdriver. &apls
I'm impatient to see your other works.
@ Aldini: Have you tried making two neighbouring cities? This is one of the most common methods of getting a region up and running, and one of the most effective.
In South Georgia, as seen on the previous page, Urtuk (City A) and Kleðheim (City B) are the two primary cities in the region. Although one is significantly larger than the other, they needed each other to survive and make it anywhere. Without Kleðheim, Urtuk would not have reached 10,000 Sims. Without Urtuk, Kleðheim would have met the same fate.
A city on its own, in my experience, has a population stagnation anywhere between 5,000-8,000 Sims before the city planner starts whining about you not being neighbourly. If I recall correctly, Urtuk stagnated at about 6,000 Sims before the planner started whining.
This is where the other city, City B, comes into play. Establish City B, develop it to a good population of a couple thousand Sims. (Kleðheim was developed to a population of about 3,000.) Then go back to City A. City A will have more demand for residential and commercial, so zone away and watch your Sims go. Usually, City A's population will at least triple in size.
At 30,000-40,000 Sims, the population may stagnate again, depending on how large you made City B; go and work on it again.
Repeat this cycle of working on one city and then the other until one of the cities doesn't need the other to develop. Usually this occurs when one city reaches 60,000-80,000 Sims. That city will fly on its own, but don't abandon its neighbour city. Although it was initially built as a tool to help the main one, it needs attention too.
Thanks for that wonderful tutorial, Maestro. I can see how to build a large town now. :thumbsup:
You know, back when Rainyday still had his site, I remember you, dobs, uploading a very large map. If I recall correctly, it was a map of Luxembourg. Dang, is all that work gone now, or do you still have one last copy of it?
G'Day Devotees,
Hey hey more replies.
Things, I hope you've got word back from the boss! Glad to be of assistance with the address.
Earthquake, Thanks for the lovely compliments, and not to disappoint here is the next batch. (I've actually got quite a few more but it is not their time for show and tell yet.)
Maestro, that's some great info to help Aldini and others who may stumble by. Thanks for sharing it mate.
Aldini, I still have Luxembourg safe and sound. I will get around to rendering the maps, then I will release them on the stex. They're too big for here. Thanks.
Now onwards to the show.
This map was recently requested by Secretariat, Thankyou.

Hey Drunkapple
I'm an aussie that lives in Canberra, I've got a request for a map.. maybe a series of maps for my city journal..
Whats the best way to contact you with the details of the request.. It's an Australian map/s
Basically from wollongong down to bermaguie and inland as well.. send me a private message so we can chat about it
Thanx in advance
Bonythonboi :)
I wonder which regions are up next.
26x24? Amazing.
If every tile take 30 seconds to render, save, and exit then thats about 7 hours. :D
G'Day Devotees,
It's always good to get a bit of feedback.
Gmt, Good luck and you're welcome. I had a bit of a dick around putting tiles in at work SC4 gets a little cranky here and there.
MrDevine, perhaps you could pm me with a little more detail.
Ahh Maestro, What will it be? What will it be? Gee this one even surprised me.
Lowkee, there is a bit of time spent rendering. I can chonk through them at about 3 per minute, a fraction faster if I put my mind to it.
Now on to todays show.

La carte de Paris est très bonne! Elle est très magnifique!
I was checking out Northern Norway, and saw that it has more mountains and islands (and some mountain islands) than you can shake a stick at. Actually, if one probably had the time and money, they could sail a boat and shake a stick at every island and mountain and mountain island up there. Point is, there are many regions to be made there for those who appreciate mountains.

Are those craters on Lanzarote?
Not yet. The TWT project is long term one, a lot of BAT, MOD, map and LOT need to be done before the show can start. ;)
Your maps are simply fantastic. Have you published the LA series as I would really like to have a go and a large region; hardware permitting.
No worries I have found them and will give them a try.
My current region has been hit by the 'Prop Pox' bug so that is going to be relegated to the "under the bridge file".
I would like to make a request for a part or perhaps all of this Norwegian archipelago:

Thanks Marsh, three Canaries are on the lex and the other four will go on to the stex in a few days.

Uau, I didn't know that would have to use all this... Well, for me the map doesn't need to be in the right scale, I think if you managed to do in two maps (North and South) of 52x40 km, or in only one of 52x80 km, will be great.
thanks
Wow, you sure are going to make smoke creep out of the map-o-matic, but that would be a bad thing. These maps are great, can't believe that you're making these so quickly. Well done, and I am one step closer to playing Sc4 once again! :)

Hmm, well here is an interesting conundrum, I like Blade received a request for Santiago but from Flamingshadow556. Thankyou Flamingshadow.

Liechtenstein is a small country in the alps jammed beween Switzerland and Austria. I have not included the river as the elevation difference is about 80m or 265 feet. Makes for a pretty severe chasm.

Thank. &apls &apls

Thanks again ;)
I just had a quick look at the map of Gent ingame, and every small detail in every river/lake is there, so really this is about as real as it gets I suppose (apart from the real city ofcourse)
Once again, thanks a million for the map and I'll put it to good use.

QuoteBut I feel my time will come.
Sweet lord ! If you show the same talent than for your map, I've got a good feeling...... ::)
Which category of buildings you guy think you will start with ?
Dobdriver, your maps are incredibly detailed, and you really have an eye for the detail!
I have used some of your good maps before, but if I may I would like to make a request now: Could you please make a map of Rotterdam (in the Netherlands), with the Europoort and its surrounding?
Here's a map, just to be sure Map of Rotterdam and around (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=da&geocode=&q=Rotterdam,+Holland&aq=0&sll=51.915685,4.336166&sspn=175.976519,193.359375&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Rotterdam,+Sydholland,+Holland&ll=51.923097,4.408264&spn=0.312519,0.891953&t=k&z=11). I have always been fascinated with that enormous harbour...
Thank you very much in advance!
Hi everybody!
First of all, thank you again for the map.
I'd like that you make others spanish maps. There's not quality maps (like yours) for the biggest spanish cities. Cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Bilbao...
Leisurely, it's just a suggestion and now I'm very busy with Zaragoza ;)
Thanks mate.
Hi Dobdriver,
I haven't had time to play SC4 for weeks, but every time you release a map I dream of the cities I could build on them. your recent creations are so enticing. The only option is to make time for SC4!
Ask and you shall see some Austvågøy photos.
The first shot is from the first city established in the region, called Daniel's Ridge. Its population is approximately 40,000 last time I checked, and is named Daniel's Ridge because of a large ridge squeezing the majority of the community along the coastline. As for "Daniel", a person's name makes a city sound important.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi104.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm168%2FAlex_Mins%2Fsimcity%25204%2FDanielsRidge-Sep27041295739010.png&hash=52a6c9cb94763797a64605b4e838f4508cb6d259)
It has quite a high population density; but, with a ridge limiting your development, the only direction one can build is up.
The next two shots are from the largest city, New Cyphern. Its population is around 160,000. As the landscape had a lot of potential for development, I named it after the first metropolis I ever made in Simcity 4 and the first metropolis I made without flattening landscape in Simcity 2000. The name "Cyphern" holds a lot of history.

The area around Shallow Harbour is considered downtown due to its numerous commercial highrises. The two large office towers (Citibank Tower and 1 Andis Plaza) relieved demand for CO$$ and CO$$$ a bit, but those Sims had a high demand for offices again shortly after. Simply relentless when it comes to work.
Quite a few LEX and STEX BATs can be seen.
Ferry Cove is also a desirable area.

This shot is a bit outdated, taken back when New Cyphern had 120,000 or so Sims, but that huge office tower (Chelsea Tower) is still there. That thing only employs a few over 1,000 Sims.
...and somehow that ferry port has no ramp to get on the boat when it arrives.

Hello DrunkDobAppleDriver ???
I would like to present you with two requests: the first would be the port-city of Kaohsiung on Taiwan, with a 45ish degree angle rotation in order to allow the development of that magnificent seaport of theirs. The second would be the tiny Mediterranean archipelago of Malta, again rotated so that I could build the airport and the Malta Freeport orthogonally. I am guessing 51 degrees would do the trick, but I suck at geometry. $%Grinno$%

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg43.imageshack.us%2Fimg43%2F8121%2Fgmaoste.jpg&hash=033bf5fcb31e697bb475be60a54dcb1b49b9ffbb)
(This would be an approximate area for the map to cover).
If it helps any, the coordinates of the city of Aoste are: 45°44′N 7°19′E.
I would prefer the map to be small, the image above would provide for 4 tiles vertical and 3 horizontal (at 160 pixels of that image per tile; I would prefer for it to be not much larger than this in game) (I would think the area would be big enough for more than this, but if it is smaller that would also be lovely :) ). If it could also be possible for the map to have elevations high enough so there is no game water, but still a defined riverbed- that would be fabulous as well.
Thank you,
Ethan :)
G'Day Devotees,
I shook all the water out of the map-o-matic and hung her on the line for a couple of days and she's dried out beautifully, one could say as good as new.
Thanks Tangoboy, welcome and I've got a couple of maps of Ireland cooking for you. They'll be big and do not cover all the two county's but very close. As for why only one Balearic Island perhaps Supremec can furnish you an answer.
Une_Ame, anytime mate you're welcome, Thanks.
Thanks Ctrl+Z, Thanks also, I haven't looked at Barcelona or Bilbao yet, But Madrid will need some sneakiness as there is quite some elevation difference over the course of the Manzanares River.
Welcome to you Orchid22, Let me rummage around in the old map box for a moment, ahh yes here's one of Lyon. Thanks mate.
G'day Mayorfabz, welcome to you, Those will be no problem, I have a couple cooking.
Thanks Supremec, One of the Balearics is ready.
Thanks Ethan, it'll be on the lex shortly.
Well we have a bit of a show on I see, we'll get started then.
The first couple up I received a call from Blade as his rig is playing up a little, could I pop a couple in the toaster for him. No probs mate. These are for Ecoba and Supremec.

Amazing job again my friend &apls &apls &apls The Frankfurt map is very realistic and also Kamloops, Great job.

I'm not a big fan of Frankfurt's airport. Sprinting through that place was not fun, and the airport's huge.
I liked Malta, Ibiza, Porto and Kamloops.
Amazing work, dob!
Tangoboy.
bad news, seems like I am not able to sqeeze the 4 awesome LA sector maps into 1 whole map.
Even tho I doubled my RAM to 8 gigs so the game can take full advantage of it's 32bit structure, it keeps crashing on me for a while now whenever I try to import another piece of this mastery, sometimes even upon loading, leaving my with approx 70% of the entireness finished... cant even scroll the entire map whatsoever.
Guess I found the games size limits %confuso
Sad tho as I gotta seriously cut the covered area unless I want to abandon the project entirely... OR work with the 4 quadrants on their own...
G'Day Devotees,
Drflex I trust you found the Aoste map from Art's great directions.
Thanks Art for helping out Drflex.
Thanks Kelis, at the minute I cannot upload either Frankfurt or Kamloops even though both are under 10MB. 9.91MB and 8.83MB respectively. I have sent a pm to the dirkinator to enquire about what is happening on that front. Hopefully I won't have to be cutting the size of my maps down :thumbsdown:. It may be I'll have to upload them to my server and just have links to them. We'll see though.
Maestro that reminds me of going through Singapore a few years back, one got off the plane and onto a bus to be driven to the terminal. Once inside all the guards carried M16's I didn't know whether to run or duck.
Tangoboy Thanks and the Malta map is fixed now and available for download off the stex.
GMT I had a dick around with the LA map on this new machine I built (16 gig of installed ram) and it still would only scroll to the 35th tile. I just don't think SC4 is going to play the game anymore. I can make single maps up to 98.3km a side now ;). Caveats apply.
Just a small show for today, after dicking around with the stex and all since their change over I only have one ready at the moment.

excellent maps :thumbsup:
for the mountain lovers, Can you get a decent Map of the Area of jenkins,Ky? if you dont like the area, you could always get nearby elkhorn city,KY ;D
both of these places are special to me my grandma is from Jenkins and was raised in Elkhorn! the area itself is pretty mountainy, it should suit the needs of anyone who likes alto-building ()stsfd()
Both maps look great, like always!
Now on to the selfish part: I'm looking to do a recreation of the Golden Horseshoe around Toronto, Canada, but none of the maps are big enough for what I want to do. I'm looking for a map that covers from Oshawa to Hamilton to St Catharines or Welland. I have a pretty good computer that I think could handle that, and I would be willing to create the map myself, but with the ST Omnibus down, I can't find any good tutorials to make a SC4 map from satellite data.
Edit: I've figured out a lot of it, and now I'm realizing it's just as much a software issue as it is a hardware issue. I should be able to figure it out myself though.
I've never seen a SC4 map with such extensive canal work, nice work mate : &hlp (←()what())
Your maps are great works of art! Blade2k5 and yourself are by far the best map makers our community have. Thank you both for your hard work. ;D &apls
I would like to make a request for a map of my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The bigger the area the better. ;) If you could do this it would make day. :)

Thank you once again for all your hard work! :thumbsup:
That Shanghai map looks terrific! I shall wish to play it soon as I sort how not to get Eternal Commuter loops from using Water traffic.
a map of south east kent in the UK having ashford in the top right rye in the bottom left covering the 40km east to the white cliffs of dover
and as far south as to include the dungeness penninsula...
would be about 16 large tiles wide by 10-12 tiles tall.
G'Day Devotees,
First up my apologies for the tardiness of maps of late. They are all mostly in some state of dis-repair but will see the light of day shortly.
Next some mail.
Thanks Rstarks, I have looked and can get both Jenkins and Elkhorn City onto one map. And it's cooking at the minute. Cheers.
Rionescu, thankyou and you're in luck. I just happen to have a spare map kicking around in the bottom of the map box of the Golden Horseshoe. There are some caveats to this map though and the biggest is you will need a 64bit version of windows to load it.

Oh dear, a recreation of Phoenix is tempting, but...
-1. No good subdivision-style homes and no way to create good-looking planned area developments.
-2. Major freeway interchanges that can't be replicated properly. (And a need for a cosmetic mod to create the right colors on overpasses.)
-3. Buildings would need to be BATted, especially schools, Mission/Spanish Colonial fire stations, and downtown.
-4. No AVE-6 or TLA-7 yet. (that's a MAJOR obstacle)
-5. Schools would need to have far larger coverage radii – esp. high schools. http://www.mychandlerschools.org/199310611131032470/lib/199310611131032470/_files/CUSD_HS_Color.pdf (http://www.mychandlerschools.org/199310611131032470/lib/199310611131032470/_files/CUSD_HS_Color.pdf) – each square is one square mile apiece (I love grids...and that's just what Phoenix has). Hamilton HS (red area), the state's second-largest high school, covers 28 square miles of land, something rather impossible in SC4.

-1. No good subdivision-style homes and no way to create good-looking planned area developments.
-2. Major freeway interchanges that can't be replicated properly. (And a need for a cosmetic mod to create the right colors on overpasses.)
-3. Buildings would need to be BATted, especially schools, Mission/Spanish Colonial fire stations, and downtown.
-4. No AVE-6 or TLA-7 yet. (that's a MAJOR obstacle)
-5. Schools would need to have far larger coverage radii – esp. high schools. http://www.mychandlerschools.org/199310611131032470/lib/199310611131032470/_files/CUSD_HS_Color.pdf (http://www.mychandlerschools.org/199310611131032470/lib/199310611131032470/_files/CUSD_HS_Color.pdf) – each square is one square mile apiece (I love grids...and that's just what Phoenix has). Hamilton HS (red area), the state's second-largest high school, covers 28 square miles of land, something rather impossible in SC4.
Who said this map has to be used as a Phoenix recreation..?
oh god, i just read that back, i was in a rush and wanted to post before i went out, sorry, thankyou for taking my rudeness so graciously. i do apologies profusely.
my bad.
thankyou for your wonderful continued works bringing joy to many a member new and old ;)
Thanks so much for the Golden Horseshoe map! &hlp
Edit1: I am having some issues importing it into the game however. I got SC4Mapper to start, but when I try to create the region, it stops responding after about 5-10 seconds, consistently after getting up to 1gb of ram, although there is still plenty of unused ram left over. I am running Windows 7 x64 with 8gb of ram, so I wouldn't think that's the problem.
Edit2: Interestingly, I can get the Pheonix map to work just fine, so it seems to be specific to the Golden Horseshoe region. If it helps at all, here's the error log message:

Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for being such a pain.
uhm... you should extend the phoenix map further down the valley (to the east that is). from the looks of it, it cuts right down from west end of fountain hills thru mesa and gilbert, somewhere around stapley drive and gilbert drive. now already covering such a great area of the metropolitan phoenix, it's almost a shame it doesn't cover the area including apache junction to... lets say gold canyon, while you got all other boundaries pretty much right (sun lakes/santan, white tank mtns, deem hills)
but then again, this would add another 17 miles to the east-west dimension...

Keep in mind he said the rendered view is old and that it does go further east. If I put together my map properly, the region does go 10 miles east of Stapley and Gilbert, although it still cuts out Apache Junction beyond Signal Brute Rd.
G'Day Devotees,
I again apologise for late maps, I had to go down south unexpectedly but I will be home for a couple of weeks so most should be finished off before I return to work. Thanks for your patience. :)
Onwards to the mail I say.
Oh dear, well that's bad luck for you then Tracker. Thanks and welcome.
Too right Art, None of these maps need to be used for recreations. Anything at all can be built on them. Thanks mate.
Ahh Mightygoose apology accepted and I do believe there is something in the show today, thanks mate.
Thanks Rionescu, you're welcome. One thing we know now, 8 gigs of ram is not enough to import this map. Hmm maybe 12 then.
Yeah GMT it makes it east to the edge of Apache Junction, I shall re-render it when I have a spare hour and a half and swap pics as it is really quite a bit bigger than what is showing now. Thanks mate.
It's Showtime!

Good news, The map-o-matic is heating up and burning through the backlog (I only have about 10 left :thumbsup:). I am still awaiting a reply from the Dirkinator about an increase in file size limits as Cuzco is 20MB and is 5MB over the current limit of 15MB. I don't really like hacking them up after I have completed them.
Thankyou Supremec, I hope you enjoy these next maps also.

Drum roll please, you too can check out PLAN B (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~ccair/simcity4.html) and download a map or two.
Thanks Kelis, I had to increase the size of your map a fraction. By 1.3km in width ;)
No trouble at all Ctrl+Z, my pleasure and you're welcome. Thanks mate.
Now it's on to a show that we go.
Up on the blocks is a map requested courtesy of Tangoboy, Thanks mate for your request and patience. Your other map will be arriving shortly.

If possible, could you make the map include Ocean Pines and Berlin and rotate Ocean City so that the beach line is roughly north south?
thanks man!
Hello, a couple of months back a posted a request on the simtropolis request thread, but there's not much going on there at the moment, i attempted to make the region myself, but i don't think i quite had the skills, the hills were too exaggerated and i had problems with below sea level areas. I think your maps look amazing, so i was wondering if i could place the same request here
Quotehello,
i was just wandering if anyone would be intrested in throwing together a map of south east norfolk (UK), it's not essential and i will be perfectly happy without it, anyway here is a google maps link of the area:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=norfolk&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=12.270158,39.331055&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Norfolk,+United+Kingdom&ll=52.537944,1.558685&spn=0.394255,1.752319&z=10
and a topographic map from bing (i'm not sure if this will work outside th uk):

ideally norwich would be on the top left, lowestoft bottom right and great yarmouth top right, but really any small part of the area would be wonderful. thankyou for reading, any reply would be appreciated.
thankyou again, john
I don't mind if you want to make it a bit bigger, ie; the broads (big lakes) to the north could also be included and it could go a little further south (genrally norfolk and north suffolk), anyway thankyou once more, john
EDIT:those links need changing
wow!!! it's perfect, buddy!!!
I'm anxious for the rest of the request!!!
and I ain't angry of having waited so much, the result compensated!!! :thumbsup:
Hi ,

Or why not the four Islands ?

Lovely work, your maps are some of my favorite to build off of.
I was wondering if I could request Berlin, in it's entirety (maybe on a smaller scale though, since that is such a large area?)?

Thanks so much!
I'm with Amerikaner, a great Berlin map! I'm working on my new recreation of Berlin and a large map of the region would be incredible.
Thanks Amerikaner for this request and thanks Dobdriver for your maps :thumbsup:
Just a question dob (or anybody else). Is there a way to fill in a couple of tiles that are missing along the shoreline on the Lima map? It seems some land has been cut out.
Thanks!
G'Day Devotees,
Well long time no see, and a new forum to boot. I wonder if there is a way to spruce it up a bit and ditch the ads in the middle of the page.
Well after a data disk loss which luckily I managed to save the work I'd done on Rotterdam and Galway, I only really lost the work on Worcester County and a few Rendered images.
The disk is a train wreck though but things are back to normal %confuso
Gee dob's mail bag is looking a bit full.
Thanks Kelis, and some good news about the stex too. The throttle is off and it is opened to 20MB. I may update plan B and hold all my maps there also. I'm not so sure about the absolute text though. it was optimised for 1280 pixels wide.
Supremec Thanks mate and you keep up your terrific work with the bat.
Thanks Ctrl+Z, You're welcome. Barcelone will soon be on the stex. Anytime.
Thanks Rushman, Glad you found it over at the stex. It's just a hair's width too big for the lex.
Thanks John and thanks for your request, Your map is coming along superbly. I worked out a beaut technique while making Rotterdam for dealing with below sea level. (which I may add will be arriving shortly)It will probably see the light of day later in the week.
Ah Tangoboy Thanks and you'll be doubly happy as Galway is also completed.
Thanks Sc-4, I see Blade has nobly uploaded his channel islands maps to the lex so for the time being these will not be on the horizon from me.
Thanks Amerikaner, I'm not sure what has happened to The Berlin upload to the lex, along with my comments. I shall re-upload today or tomorrow.
Always good to get a seconder for a map Kelis, thanks mate.
Jm mate, Thanks for bringing it to my attention about the config and I apologise for such a tardy response to your query. I seen it and when I went to respond sc4d was offline and did not return until after I had returned to work where I have no access to the ether-webby. I must have been half asleep when I painted the config and rendered the map. Any how it has been rectified now, there was three missing tiles with land and I painted out a fourth containing only water.
Ok you may have already worked this out, the easiest way to add the missing tiles is to:
1. Re-downlown the map.
2. Re-import the map into SC4 but rename it. ie Lima1.
3. Copy and paste the new config into the old region ie Lima over-writing the original.
4. Start SC4 and open the old region Lima, you will see three flat green tiles. Do nothing but memorise their position.
5. Open the new region Lima1 and thence open and save those three tiles only. Ensuring to properly start a new city in each and name them distinctly.
6. Close SC4 and navigate to Lima1 in the SC4 region directory and copy and paste only the three city tiles you have opened, named and saved to the downloads folder in the region directory.
7. Start SC4 and open the old region Lima again. This time click one of the new green tiles and choose to swap the city, a dialogue will open and navigate to the downloads folder and choose the city it corresponds to. (If you don't name them they will all show as New City and be totally impossible to tell which is which.)
8. Do the same for the remaining two cities and job's done mate. The full Lima map in all it's glory.
Hope this'll get you out of a bind. Once again sorry for it's lateness.
Well that the mail done, quite a bit really.
Now onto the show partl. What have we got, what have we got.

Hey dobdriver,
If you are accepting requests I have a couple. I would like a map of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. If you happen to have enough time a map of Benghazi, Libya would also be great.
I appreciate your great mapping skills - having used many of your maps already. I hope you want to lend your skills to these two Libyan maps.
wow, i am really really impressed by the norwich map, much better than i imagined, i just spent a long weekend away so this is a real surprise. i am now considering maybe a first md, but for now thanks so much. now i just need a way of making the water brown! thank you once more, john
Maps are looking great as always dob! BTW, I sent you a PM. Please let me know if it's not too much trouble. Thanks! :thumbsup:
If you have time can you make a map of the Chicago metropolitan area.
These maps are all great, but they don't quit cut it for me. Would it be too much to ask for a Gothemburg map? :)

G'Day Devotees,
A great sadness descended upon me earlier in the week when I learned of our fearless leader's untimely death. Like so many before him a victim of road carnage and at a very young age with the whole of his life ahead of him. My thoughts go to his family whom I do not know, at their loss.

Nice maps again ::)
The first map is very very good! It's a good tribute to Adroman.
I haven't a lot of pictures of Ibiza but I posted here (http://www.toutsimcities.com/forums.php?viewthread=549540&page=222) one pic, the first pic on the page ;D
So sorry to hear about the passing of adroman. He was much too young. Thanks for the maps of Benghazi and Tripoli. They both look great.
Love the maps man. Thank you for the Chicago map Finally a good one! If you have time could you try and get a map of Prypiat , Ukraine 51.405556,30.056944 Thank you very much
Great work again with even more maps. And indeed sad about Adroman. :(
Well done man, and it's good for Adrian to make a map for him (Adrian if you're looking us where you are... :( ).
And thank you for the compliments about my creations, it's always good for the moral :P
Guillaume :thumbsup:
Yay, it's perfect!! Thanks again!!
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Adroman. It's heartbreaking to hear someone so young lost their life.
nice job on the Liège map, always nice to see a map of a city in your own country appear ;D I might have a go at building something on it as well.
As for Adrian's Mackay map, I'm planning something special with it (don't know what exactly myself).
Xander
Regarding the Chicago map:
Is it to scale, AND aligned to the game's North-South/East-West axis? The only other scale map of Chicago is by NHP's MallowTheCloud, but unfortunately it is NOT aligned to the game's cardinal axis.
The reason for my question is this: Chicago has a very exact street grid system where a main arterial is every half mile (50 in-game tiles). If your map is to scale AND aligned, someone playing your map can truly simulate the Chicago grid, except for some of the diagonals that run at angles that even FARR can't simulate presently.
I have tried to get the NHP team to revise their map to align to the in-game cardinal points, but to no avail. If you have produced such a map, then you have a winner.
G'Day Devotees,
Well the map-o-matics running hot again with another slew maps.
Thanks Supremec, You'll have to take a few more pics mate. ;)

Diamonddog Chicago rotated is is on the lex. As for you other point, of course it is to scale. One large city tile is equal to 4096m to the pixel. ;)

That's excellent, I love these maps.
I would do a request: could you make the map of Gérardmer (Vosges, Lorraine, France) and his environment please? A radius of 15km is nice I think ;) Thank you!
Guillaume :thumbsup:
Others good maps &apls, I won't hesitate to show you some pics ;)
I was wondering the other day, would it be possible to create a full-scale map of Belgium (30.000 and a bit km²)? Purely theoretical ofcourse, but I'm curious none the less.
I meant the second Göteborg and it looks stunning! Thanks a million!
Dob, have you counted how many maps you've created so far ? Should be a lot ! &apls
Anyway, wonderfull job as always.
May I request a map if you don't mind :)
Can I please have the town of Bournemouth, UK, orientated so that the international Airport Runways aligned to the grid with the coast still in the south, I don't really mind about the size, as long as the airport can be fit in as well as Ferndown, and Wimbourne in the surrounding areas, I would also like it accurately scaled or does that come included in the service :P
Cheers.
wow great maps... and you make them big! Any chance of getting Sudbury, Ontario... all roughly 3200 square kilometers of it and most of her 330 lakes? It might be a little bit challenging because the second largest (and 1.5b yo) crater in the world is in the city... as well as her younger, 35m old sister (that's known as lake Wanapitei) the largest lake within one city in the world. They also have the #2 largest lake within one city as well....
Would it be possible to get a map of Calgary, Canada? Thanks :)
G'Day Devotees,
Well I been having a bit of a rest from making maps, but still doing plenty of other stuff. :thumbsup:
Whoops, there's a bit of mail to take care of.
Thanks Guillaume, There is a map of Gérardmer on the lex. There is no water so you will have to plop some as the levels are quite up and down.
Cool Supremec I look forward.
A great question Wc_eend, but unfortunately the answer is no. Currently I can make maps up to almost 10000km2 and that is with 24GB of ram. Although Belguim is only about 30000km2 the rectangular area that her extremities reach cover just over 60000km2.
Thanks Lemonlime, you're welcome. Glad you like it. You too will have to post a few piccies.
Another great question Une_ame and the answer is just over 200 uploaded somewhere on the ether webby. I have about another 30 that I haven't released also.
Sure thing Dannibee, I've got one in the pot cooking for you, Thanks.
Ah Kitsune, I have a map of Sudbury for you and it's about 6375km2. I'm sure all the lakes are there but you will need to plop them due to the differing elevations water doesn't always go on maps so well. There is only about a span of 30m elevation that water works well in then they become weeholes in the snow so to speak with sheer cliffs dropping to the water level.
I can make you a map of Calgary Fnsc1394, no prob at all.

I think it would be fabulous if you could create even the North Sea coast with its many islands in the north of Germany. That would be a dream. The region between Hamburg and Oldenburg were here my favorite!
Perhaps you are thinking about you the times yes! The Thuringian Forest or the Erfurt region would also be very very awesome.
Thank you for the many maps!

Ah, of course the day after my post you release an awesome San Francisco map! Haha, can I take back my Rome/Moscow request for a San Jose map? Basically everything south of where your SF map ends?

Although I need to get someone else to render the San Fransisco map for me. It's just too big >.> Even once it's in game I may cut off the eastern portion to make it more manageable. I really want to use it. :)
Keep putting out these wonderful maps. :thumbsup:
What happened to the San Francisco map on the STEX?
Once more you did fabulous maps, I like them!!
Any plans for a map of Montréal, QC? There doesn't seem to be a good one out there of that city with accurate elevations. It would probably have to be a rotated map since the city's street grid in real life would be in diagonals in SC4, and it would just look ugly.
Awesome SF is back on the Stex! Unfortunately, I just tried to load it and it froze my computer :(

I'm a bit of a lurker, but I'd like to also express interest in a Montreal map, and additionally request one of Quebec City and its environs (Levis, Mont Sainte-Anne, and the Ile-d'Orleans). Your work is utterly superb, dobdriver.
Hi all,
I am a return devotee to Sim City having been exposed to the LIFESTYLE since the DOS version in the early 90's. I have recently upgraded to the SC4 version but have always intended to generate an accurate replica of my homeland Saint Lucia in the Carribean. I recently saw a map of Barbados and have searched for a similar representation of my island but to no avail. Can I request from any boardmember to develop the same for me? I will be eternally grateful.
Stillwine
Great to see more wonderful maps being made. I was wondering if I could request a Corsican map. Obviously the entire island is much to big to map, but perhaps a map centred on the the town Calvi would be nice. Corsica has such great beaches and mountains, the map would be quite a sight!
Hello,
Im mostly over at simtrop, but after using your fantastic maps for a while, I thought I might as well suggest one. If you have got a moment, id love one of the Salt Lake City, UT area. It could be of the metro area and the Wasatch mountains east of it past Park City to the foot of the Uintah mountains. It may have to be lowered to get game water for the Great Salt Lake. I would love it if you could.
G'Day Devotees,
The weather's heating up and so is the map-o-matic!
Boy oh boy plenty of mail this week.
Ah, of course. Just to throw a spanner in the works. Thanks Portie. How was was that download? Yeah someone marked SF then it got bombed out somehow. But as plenty have seen it's back. I can do a map of San Jose for you.
Thanks Marsh, I cannot wait to see more of your region. ;)
Thanks Supremec and I have more again.
Diamonddog I had no plans to, But as you have asked I have one cooking, Thanks.
G'Day Nosferatu, Welcome and thanks. It's your lucky day, I had an emergency.
Welcome to you also Stillwine, I'm glad you have found SC4 at last. It is your lucky day as well.
Welcome back Eugene, how was Tripoli? Any snaps? I can make you a map of Corsica no probs, Thanks.
And welcome to you Jbillow, Thanks and I can do that for you. No worries mate. Thanks.

Wow. Lots more. Continue the great work. ;D

Hey dobdriver,
Many more great maps here, I look forward to the Corsica map. I was working on the Tripoli map - actually trying to recreate Tripoli - and then my computer got a corrupted operating system and I lost everything. I have had to start simcity from scratch (along with everything else) and am using this opportunity to experiment with new building styles. I figured I might as well work on a European style city.
Thanks for all of your great mapping!

Anyway, thank you for all those wonderfull maps :thumbsup:

The rendered image is the original I made at 60x60 and then realised I hadn't included all the points of interest asked for. The map actually goes 12km further north and 28km further east as shown in the top down view.

Well this week I had a bit of a rest from making maps, sort of. I have just a small show today but all requests are in the pot and bubbling away in some sort of dis-repair.
Thanks Supremec, Yes I mostly use Italia also. A little bit hacked around though to keep that pesky snow off the mountains. ;)
Hey no probs Epic.
Cool Kergelen, are you perhaps going to build on your islands :D
Thanks Izi, The small detail is still doable with 8bits, the 16bits are really only controlling the height of the terrain. Keep at it mate.

I could re-name it but it's full title is "On the Coast Between Oldenburg and Hamburg" and of course everybody is free to name it as they wish.
I can certainly make your map no trouble, you do have 64bit windows though? As it will come in at 114.688km x 57.344km. This is a bit tough for mapper on a 32bit system.

Awesome work once again, dobs! An avid fan of Big Maps, I think I got just about all of your work on my PC - some very great maps among them.
I'm afraid, however, that I'll have to make a request. If you've got the time, could you one day do my hometown area of Antwerp, Belgium? I had something like this in mind:

Of course that's rather big, so you can reduce the size if you think it's necessary - although I'd like it big. :)
That would be awesome.

G'day dob!
All the fantastic work done over here! I am always amazed at the details and finishes of the map you created. Hope you are not too busy to fit in a new request. Please, can you make a map of my hometown, the city of Tainan in Taiwan?
The region is illustrated in the image below. It should be around 45x45km in size and rotated 12 degrees counterclockwise to match the road grid of the city centre...

More great maps dobdriver. Calvi is going well. I will send you some pics when I get a chance. Thanks for mapping Male'.
Hi dobs,
I'm amazed with the quality :thumbsup: (and quantity too ;D) of your work with the maps.
I would like to post a request. How about the Thessaloniki (Thessalonica) region in Greece? It's my home city. I tried making it myself, but with the 8-bit technologies I'm using the result was not very satisfactory, and had several technical problems too, so I abandoned it.
The area I'm interested in isn't that large, and in addition I find that large regions not only will never filled by the players, they cause the cities to be loaded/saved much more slowly. So I would rather prefer a relatively smaller region, like 7x7 large tiles (still larger than the maps I usually play on). If the map is about to be accurately scaled, a good rectangle could be 22°41'15"E (just west of the delta) to 23°01'10"E (town of Thermi) and 40°28'00"N (just north of the town of Mechaniona) to 40°43'00"N (town of Oreokastro). This includes quite interesting geographical features. If you are for a larger or scaled-down map you could include the mouths of rivers Loudias and Aliakmon to the west and lake Coronea to the east. Btw I see you upload your maps in .png format. Is this a standard .png, that can be processed (basically cropped) with an image editor? In such a case a larger map would be good (players could crop the map and extract the part they are mostly interested in).
And some points that could cause troubles:
- Some areas are below sea level. Check the images in this thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=8869.0). Not sure if all those areas are below sea level or it's just the quality of the data I used (cgiar.org) but some really are. Btw what data are you using?
- River Gallikos may be a little hard to make, as the bed is shallow, while its banks can be quite steep in places. Not sure if the standard river tool can do this easily.
- Rivers in general can be troublesome, because elevations are low.
After making so many maps, I'm pretty sure you know how to cope with these.
It would be great if you make this map. I could help with reviews and testing (prior to releasing it).
Cheers
G'Day Devotees,
I trust we all had or will have a marvellous Christmas, and everyone gave and received what they wanted. ;)
And the festivities keep coming so I hope everyone will have a great New Year.
Thanks Guillaume and I shall send you some details after New Year. ;<).
Eugene, Thanks mate. Male' is is not quite finished yet, it's in the pot with the rest of the ingredients.
Welcome Cogeo and thanks.
Thessaloniki is now on the books. The map will be scaled to 1 large city tile - to 4096m. I scale for longitude only across the point of interest, in this case Thessaloniki. On the large large scale maps I have made I scale the longitude across the northern and southern boundaries but with the smaller 1:1 scale maps have found the difference in longitude between the north and south to be only a few metres.
That .png map is the only one, the older 8bit maps still available are all in .bmp with the remainder in.SC4M format. I uploaded that when the stex was a bit flaky and not accepting uploads over 8MB. It is a standard 16bit .png and as such can only be edited in a 16bit capable editor. Editors such as paint.net or the GIMP can only resave it as an 8bit image, it will become very blocky and submerge below the sea level.
Yes below sea level, that can be a problem. I have made a few that were below sea level Norwich and Oldenburg, Rotterdam although I haven't released it yet and Volgograd. Once I developed a technique They became much easier to deal with.
I mostly use SRTM data, I am not overly keen on CIGAR's void patching technique also they wriggle the data a little and it is a bit different to the standard SRTM. I recently received some 1 second data for Australia, all the voids have been patched and and the striping and vegetation removed, it's nice to use. ;<)
Hmmm I don't know either. I don't use terraformer for editing only to make the .SC4m file and take an overview pic. I use photoshop to make the maps in.
No worries I'll send it to you for bug testing.

The old map-o-matic has been running in overtime and overdrive and for the year seen 150 maps purged from it's innards.
I find I still have about 30 map requests and as such I am closing the request book for the time being until I have completed them and then probably have a little rest also. :o
Some of you may not realise but I am away 6 months of every year working so those 150 maps were really completed in 6 months, almost 1/day.

A rather ambiguous request, but please could I have:
1. An area that has a very little population and infrastructure in either Wyoming or South Dakota.
2. An area that's roughly 40km x 40km.
3. An area that's as flat as possible (which considering the location I'm asking for, I use the word flat loosely).
Idea is that I want to start a CJ based on a real life area that is currently almost uninhabited.
G'Day Devotees,
We finally see the wet season arriving with a drop in temperatures and about 12 or 13 inches of rain this week so there wasn't much to outside. I thought I'd crank up the map-o-matic and see how she was feeling. Good by the looks of things and so another grab bag of beauties are here for your pleasure.
Welcome back David, long time no hear. Thanks mate and I'm glad you are appreciating them. The poor old girl does smoke up a bit here and there but I keep an extinguisher handy for any unexpected fires. :D
Thanks Izi, Yep Antwerpen was a pretty big job. Not as big as Vester's monster or Turku though and they should be finished in a couple of weeks.

These and other maps can be found on a lex or stex near you.
And so it is said, that's your lot for now.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

... Tainan is 45.056km x 45.056km...
You have the procedure down to a science. The rivers of the Tainan region snake way back into the countryside. I like that region and I think I'll grab it while it's hot.
Thank you for your efforts.

That is absolutely perfect :D Thanks!
May i request a Map of Lisbon, Portugal?
I'm mainly trying to get the two main pennisulas but get as much of it as you can.
alsothank you with your help with the antwerp . sc4m file
Could I trouble you for a 28.672km x 28.672km map centered halfway between Cathlamet, WA and Skamokawa, WA (USA)? (If my measurements in Google Earth are correct, the center point would be at 46°14'11.95"N, 123°25'12.7"W. I hope this is helpful to you.)
Many thanks in advance!
Heh, I can see my house there! Many thanks, dobs. Fantastic!

I checked the Thessaloniki map, and it's really awesome!!! :thumbsup:
I have some questions to make though:
- You mentioned that you have used both DEM and satellite data. What exactly "satellite data" stands for? Can you combine these with DEM, esp if they are from a different source? I mean, do they coincide exactly?
- How did you make water? I guess you must have some sort of "water mask", and use Terraformer (or some other tool or technique) to set water depth (increasing as you get away from the coast). Are you using any ready-made data, or "draw" them manually, or maybe combine the two methods, ie mark all -32K elevations (no data) as water and make local corrections manually? There are sites with bathymetric data, however the previous question applies here too, ie can they be combined well with DEM? In the map I can even see irrigation/drainage canals, and I'm really curious if there are such data available.
Thanks again!
Quoteand welcome back Namspopof, I can certainly make you a map of Lubéron. About 2or 3 weeks probably.
Thanks a lot, I would be patient for start my new region. :thumbsup:
G'Day Devotees,
Hmm, first up while I have finished a few maps I have not yet rendered them for piccies. I was away earlier in the month and rest assured the next post will have a show'n tell attached.
I have added a few observations to to my thread in the Sim City 4 Devotion Tools/Custom Content Creation Tools/SC4 Terraformer forum concerning ram and module sizes etc.
G'Day Jim welcome back. Thankyou for your kind words, I hope you do enjoy playing on Tainan and It's Hot :thumbsup:
Thanks FrancisM89, You're welcome mate.
No worries Mr Stark. I have Lisbon almost complete. Did you get mapper and terraformer working ok? If not pm me and we can sort it out.
G'day Woodb3kmaster and welcome. Surely, surely a map of that is also no probs. In fact it too is almost complete ;<). It was very helpful, thankyou.
No probs Willy, you're wlcome. Thanks mate. I hope you put a flag up.
Thanks Cogeo, You are welcome too.
The satellite data are the images from google maps. You will notice if I make a dry map I only quote dem data. I use the sat pics to lasso all the water. Its' size doesn't matter the larger the better, I normally go with images showing the scale of 200m. Sometimes it takes 70 or 80 of these pics stitched together in ps, but mostly in the range of 40 to 50.
Once I have lassoed the water I paint it a very water loving colour like 0c0b09. This equals about 247.8m in the 16bit grey palette. I then paste that layer on to a very highlighted (stretched) dem. Usually it is 4 to 6 times larger in area and so use transform to shrink it down to size. Most shrink to fit with scale but sometimes the images are well googled (bent) and I need to then use warp (this is why the dem needs to be stretched so I can see where it's supposed to go. If I have to use warp also then it changes the colour to something that equals 257m so I use the change colour command setting the output to -5 this makes it equal to 246.8m.I then make various layers of that water and change the colour finally reaching 020202.
I use terraformer very little for the actual map construction, only to set elevations and to make the .SC4M file unless the map is too big in which case I use mapper to make the .SC4M file.
I have often thought of using bathymetry, the data is quite coarse about 30minutes but that is okay. It is the coastlines that is the problem. Like the shapefiles available for dem the coastal and river delineation to put it bluntly is piss poor. I could bang out 10 maps a day with no water but it is the water that makes a map. For example the Archangel'sk map is really quite flat, I think about 47m offhand But the river system there is just phenominal and there is no easy way to capture the detail than by hand (mouse)
As for your last question the irrigation ditches, off the photos
I do not use google earth just google maps in the browser. Aside from the maps there are satellite photos and topographic maps. It is by far the best resource for making maps bar the dem data.
Cheers
Cool Namspopof, your map is one I have finished but not rendered yet so will be out shortly. Thanks.

You maps look cool! And the Antwerp region looks very good :thumbsup: I see that Bergen op Zoom also is include in that map :) that nice, because there are no good maps of The Netherlands. So i prefer this one for my new region.
But if i can do a request for a new map of The Netherlands, I would like to have a map of this part of the country.

Hi Dob'
This is this specific point I have to experiment &idea
My technique is a bit different as I scale each satellite photo on my "dry map". I wonder if this difference makes my "photo layer" less detailled...
Hips !
Izi
I got the Antwerp map working perfectly. when i was following your instructions i mistakenly moved the mapper from my desktop to my secret folder, causing me to panic when i could not find it. i thought that maybe i had did something wrong but its resolved now. thanks dobb
P.S.: Lisbon's almost done! yahoo! $%Grinno$%
Dob,
I love your maps, but have one in particular that I would like to request. MallowTheCloud released this map back in 2006, but it was a bit smaller than what I wanted, so I figured I'd ask to see if you might be able to make it. It's southwestern Washington State (US). The lat/lon are:
NW Pt. - Lat N 46° 49' 55.2458", Lon W 124° 8' 9.2212"
SW Pt. - Lat N 46° 13' 59.8455", Lon W 124° 8' 9.2212"
NE Pt. - Lat N 46° 49' 55.2458", Lon W 123° 2' 19.0869"
SE Pt. - Lat N 46° 13' 59.8455", Lon W 123° 2' 19.0869"
My one weird request is, could you completely rotate it 180° so that the ocean is on the east side of the region? I'd like to make it an east coast city in the US.
I've attached a satellite map from Google of the region, lat/lon point to lat/lon point.

G'day Devotees,
Well today I thought I would show a few other things also, The map-o-matic is starting to awaken after a short lull time although I do not think I will produce as many maps as last year. That was a hectic schedule. Just so devotees are aware I am still working on a couple of very intricate maps and have decided to show a small piece of Vester's Blekinge. The total mask size is 22000px by 11000px and this snap is 800px wide. 1/27th of the total ;<)

When finished it will be painted 0c0b09 and laid on the dem.
I also was never happy about cutting Cape barren Island in half, I think it was for a lex candacy map. Anyhow recently I put together a new version made with 1 second SRTM dem. Yes I have Australia's 1 second dem from the shuttle mission ;<) and while putting her to bed accidently overwrote my old city files. I thought well I had better re-render the old west side map. Upon inspection :o :o I noticed the that the coastal definition was quite pox to put it mildly. It was one of my short lived techniques to try and speed up the process, quick and dirty but mostly dirty.

The dem quality is quite substantial too.
I have been trying out Lowkee's new terrain mod Ther are some things I don't like (but that is personal preference for ya) but there are plenty of things that are just brill. For starters the dats are assembled meticulously and not timid at all, The cliff textures are the best I've seen and the colours of the terrain just pop out here and there quite unexpectedly in the right places. Plus I even got a mention in the dispatches, Thanks mate. My biggest gripe is that there are only two snow levels in the standard mod, and well being a mapper I make quite a few that perhaps doesn't even get to those elevations at their lowest. I have started to hack around with it ;<)
Wow there's plenty of mail this week.
G'Day Paul and welcome. That will not be a problem, I have a map of 's-Hertogenbosch cooking as we speak, thanks.
Thanks Izi, you will certainly lose resolution if you scale your mask images before collecting the data. I have found I can collect data to 2-3 pixels width from the large scale and (un)reliably transfer it to the dem. Thanks and cheers.

Dear MapMaker,
as usual I am desperately drooling over your recent maps, but as usual I cannot have them, because (a) I'm on a Mac and so (2) I can't use the relevant Wouanagaine et al. and (3) there is never a greyscale -- and the result of trying to greyscale your maps myself has been, how to phrase it ? less than satisfying ! Is it absolutely (technically) impossible for you to make a greyscale file of your wonderful creations ?
Howdy dobs; good to see you're still at it!

but with a challenge. If it's possible, could you please rotate it 60 degrees clockwise so that the coast aligns to a N-S axis like the box below. (edit: or 30* CCW so it's E-W. whatever is easier.)

I'm hoping for a 64km tall (max) x 48km wide region (basically what the box above covers).
The upper left corner of that box is about:
59*31'00" N
139*54'15"W
If for whatever reason the rotation won't work then nevermind on this map. But I really, really hope you can pull it off. :thumbsup:
Best of luck and thanks ahead of time. ;D
Glad you like the mod, and thanks again for that water trick. The water in that set is grey scale, all of the color comes from those "side textures". If you didn't read in my terrain thread, this means that it would be possible to have a wide range of colors from the same water texture. I see something interesting in the horizon, but haven't started on that project yet.
Can't please everyone, especially with the snow line.
Edit: Epic Blunder's second pic messes with my eyes :P . One of those "bet you can't believe the lines are straight" illusions.
Good work on these maps &apls &apls

Hey Supremec, g'day mate welcome back, Thanks I hope there is something you can use ;<)
Yes, All your maps are good...but I don't want to start a lot of regions,otherwise they'll be all unfinished $%Grinno$% &ops
I have to stop visiting this thread - I'm starting way too many new regions these days. Last post didn't help, dobs. Luberon, Philadelphia,... :o Too good.

G'Day Devotees,
Well, I've sort of been disappointed this week after my discovery that I have already created the largest map possible with mapper and terraformer. If you didn't see my post on it I'll recap.
The largest size map is 24 tiles square, achievable with win7 64bit and one 4GB module of ram. That's it.
With 32bit windows the largest achievable with two by 2GB modules is 20 tiles square. With one 4GB module it is larger but I don't know the exact size, I shall test to find out. This will also be dependent on video card memory. The more memory on one's video card the less memory is available to the operating system.
My notebook for the testing has 1GB of video memory so there will only be about 3GB available for mapper.
Today's grab bag of goodies has some surprises and a great mix of different terrains that I hope you will enjoy.
G'day Izi,
Yep that's right mate. Practice, practice, practice. You won't get perfect but you will get quicker, that's for sure. Your maps I might add are looking georgeous.
Thanks Namspopof,
You're welcome mate.
Thanks Art,
No I didn't know you were Portuguese, today's maps you will find interesting also. Thanks that's one thing I always dreamed of was to become the local drunk. Who'd ever thought I'd be the virtual drunk in a virtual town. I shall cherish it.
Thanks Guillaume,
How are your maps coming along?
Portie Thanks mate,
You're welcome also. Minneapolis has a few lakes.
G'Day and welcome Evarburg,
Do you ever feel like sometimes you are on the losing team? and I do not mean that to be disrespectful, just your Mac. I can make 8bit greys for the maps quite easily, although adding them to the upload could add up to 3MB to the zip file. The main problem though is height of maps, 1000m is the about limit theses should go otherwise terrible stepping occurs as there are only 256 shades to cope with the elevation. In short a lot of maps would look plain ugly as standard maps. I can rustle them a get you a pack together.
Cool Epic,
I've got something brewing for you.
G'Day Lowkee and welcome,
Cool I shall have to have a little play with that idea. I know what you mean about snowlines, you would need to add about 50 to please everyone ;<).
Thanks Supremec,
I don't think anybody could finish all my maps with their time left on earth somehow.
G'Day Willy,
You know you won't be able to stay away.
It's like a re-run of a re-run really. It's that time again.

Wonderful maps my friend!! &apls
Well, didn't do some ones for a while, I wait to have a little more time. And as the weather's good here, I go out some times ::) But don't worry, I hope to show some of my next creations soon!! :)
Guillaume :thumbsup:
Wow the new map of Den Bosch and Rotterdam look amazing! I go take a closer look now :) Thank for your work!
woohoo! thanks dobs. :thumbsup:
That rotterdam map looks like a joy to build on. And where is Paradise bay? That map sure has some interesting topography.
Thanks again for your beautiful maps, dobs. I just have a quick question (for anyone who can answer). I'm creating my region via Mapper (Terraformer does not work on my machine) using the rotated version of the Philadelphia region. How do I edit the city sizes so that they aren't all large cities? Modifying the config file doesn't seem to do the trick. Mapper loads the region with all large maps regardless, and saves them as such.
Reason I ask is I want to put one string of medium maps along the bottom and the top of the region, and leave the rest as large cities. This would allow for downtown on an accurate model of the city to be built in the middle of a large map (whereas currently it would be split down the middle by the border of two maps). Is this editable or are the city sizes something written into the SC4M file?
Nevermind, I got Terraformer working :)
Hi Dob'
The Rotterdam map is a pure masterpiece, I repeat, a real masterpiece.
Thank you !
Izi
Lovely to see some Portuguese areas :D Actually, if we overlay all the maps you made so far, we almost have the whole country ^^
Thank you man :)
Great maps as always dobdriver! I can't wait to see your Dubai map. It will definately be used in my CJ. I was wondering if you could make the Dubai map aligned with the SC4 grid? Dubai actually fits nicely into a grid pattern it seems.
Hi... I would like to request a map of London, but if possible, can the map be set so that the Canary Wharf follows the simcity 4 grid? thanks a lot!
Yes?.... no? Is this thread dead...???
Patience is a virtue. This thread has gone longer without a post from dobdriver than the six days you've waited so far.
Im sorry... didnt know, since simtropolis is offline I dont know if someone is up to date with this thread... my bad, I just wanted to make sure that what I requested was correct or if this wasnt the right place... Since there is no accurate map of London, I also wanted to make sure he wold read it for his next uploads... :)
PS... And if possible, could you upload the rotated version and the original version, you know the one that is not rotated
QuoteYes?.... no? Is this thread dead... ???
Dead? Did someone say dead. I hope not, 300 maps I'm not dead yet.
G'Day Devotees,
This week I will not be posting any maps as I am just about to slip out the door to go south to Perth for a week and I do not have anything finished yet.
Thanks Supremec, I see maybe there is one map for you ;<) cheers.
Cool Guillaume, that'll be grand to see.
Thanks Epic, Paradise Bay is on the Antarctic Peninsular, south of South America.
Welcome Egon, I hope you enjoy the map of your home town.
Thanks Izi, It's not completely finished but it is eminently playable and I will eventually update it.
G'Day Gn_leugim, Welcome and you're welcome. Thanks I've got a fair bit of Portugal covered and I will get around to the south coast and the Algarve.
Thanks Eugene, Dubai is almost completed too.
G'Day Criss, thanks for your concern, I have started a map of London for you.
Thanks and cheers

Hey dobdriver/drunkapple, I have a simple request, could you possibly map Sitka, Alaska onto sc4? Thanks if you can. :D I'd buy you a drink if you do, if I ever see you. :P
Hi Dobdriver! Thanks for the hard work you put into these great maps.
I have a special request though: I want to use your Salt Lake City, UT map but I would really like for the region to extend 1-2 tiles northward so it reaches past Layton, UT. I'm hoping this is an easy modification, because trying to do it in-game is a nightmare. It would be greatly appreciated =)

I third the london map request... :D
Im sorry to double post... are there any updates on the London map?
When there are any updates on that map, dobdriver will post them. Until then, patience is a virtue. (Do keep in mind that dobs is very busy IRL and often can't post anything here for weeks at a time. When I requested the Cathlamet map, he wasn't able to post any updates until about a month afterwards, and it was another couple of weeks before he was able to upload that map to the exchanges. Don't be surprised if you end up waiting a similar length of time for your map.)
Oh ok... I see... thanks anyways, I mean at least I have a hint now

Hey dobdriver,
Your Male Atoll Map is currently the basis for my CJ/MD. It has really helped me create a realistic tropical island country. Once your Dubai map is out, my CJ/MD will be changing countries to the Emirate of Dhahran which will essentially be a recreation of Dubai.
Thanks again,

I havent post in here for a while now... but anyways... just wan to thank you for the work you put into this community and for always attending all the requests...
Could you do Hokkaido it would be amazing
G'Day Devotees,
Although I have been rather quiet of late I have not been unoccupied. I started this last week then navigated off the page and like a puff of smoke it was all gone so I thought bugger it, I'll save it for next time. I have been a bit slack sending pm's to requestees etc, but do not despair, even if I have not answered your post I will have seen it and your map will be prepared. Speaking of which, recently I had the mis-fortune of eradicating my map register text from the desktop due to a full re-install. Oops, it was a bit of a painful hunt to find all the requests again but I think I have sorted them all. Also you may have noticed of late maps seem to take longer? this is because most recent requests tend to be very intricate detail and do take some time to produce, if you have requested a map and seemingly it has not appeared do not fear. It will be made.
Welcome Stan, Sure I can make that for you. It will be quite epic.
G'Day and welcome Azurespecter, Thanks. Salt Lake City has now been updated on the stex to include a further 2 tiles to the north. Cheers.
Welcome Wannglondon, The map is rotated and available on the lex.
G'Day Portie, Good news mate. Oops I didn't see the second part till just then. Sure no probs Macau will be pickling shortly.
Thanks Stan, Woodb and Jim for settling things down. How's the barn Jim?
Welcome Sc-4, you sure can. It will be on the stex due to it's file size. Cheers.
Marsh old mate, Good to hear from you. I'm glad you fired up SC4 and thank you for sharing. That does look absolutely gorgeous, you are the master. &apls &apls &apls
Thanks Eugene, I look forward to seeing it. As you have seen Dubai is out. and now the rotated version is completed as well. Cheers.
Welcome 830.35, Thanks, with compliments like that you're welcome anytime. Cheers.
G'Day Criss, Thanks mate, and don't worry I haven't forgotten Rosario, it's one of those detailed types I was talking about earlier. Cheers.
G'Day and welcome Cloud92, It would appear to be your lucky day. Although I have not made a map of the whole of Hokkaido because it is quite large I have made a large map of Sapporo and local environs. I hope you do enjoy it.

Great maps as always, dobdriver/drunkapple. I have already used your Bunbury and Maldives maps for my CJ and am now moving on to your Dubai map - so you can see I put your maps to good use. I was wondering if you could do a map of Antananarivo in Madagascar? I think you will find the geography of Antananarivo very interesting.
G'day Devotees,
Well what a week it's been, the map-o-matic is warmed up and a couple of the more intricate maps have finally rolled off her. Phew!!
Thanks Guillaume, Yes La Réunion is quite a sight. Did you ever work with the Luxembourg maps?
Welcome Abcd, Thanks mate. Calgary unfortunately in un-conducive to adding the rivers as the lowest point of the map is lower than the rivers. As a n aside I always try to add what water I can and if a map is dry well there is no water or there is dry land lower than the water. I will probably cut and turn Toronto as others have also asked for a cut down version.
Welcome mate, Thanks and I have a La Crosse map bubbling away as I type.
That Sounds cool Supremec, I look forward to seeing it. Thanks.
Welcome also RubiconMango, I have begun a map of Townsend and will be ready soon, Thanks.
Thanks Johnsmith, it was your lucky day.

Hi Dob'
I always feel admirative about your skills : it's marvellous.
Thanks for mapping an ukrainian map ! Kremenchug is really REALLY impressive !!
Did you edit the water elevation on that map ? I mean, how did you manage the possible difference of elevation between various water areas ?
Often, those big rivers have many dams and hydro-electical massive constructions : water is then "higher" above the dam and lower after passing through it. I didn't check this location, so I'm just guessing.
...and Ukraine... ah ! ...have you tried the red vodka, the one with pepper ? Woooch ! &hlp
Na zdarovie !

The Rio map is great, but the Petropavolosk one is Awesome!
Excellent maps! I like the one based on the city from Kamchatka, may use it. :) How's my Sitka map going? I can't wait for it's release.
I couldn't help but notice a lack of mountain goat Sim territory during my absence...!
(Yep, forgot my previous password. FFFUUU-)
Stunning maps!
Well not yet, 'cause I wait for having more of my BATs to recreate my region... ;)
Guillaume :thumbsup:
Great maps dobs. You're doing a fantastic job!
I really enjoyed your Hiroshima version, was great to play on it. If I can have my HDD problem resolved, I'll definetely work on it again untill the last 16x16m tile is filled.
The onl thing I had to do is level a little bit the ground to have an unity around the river, so I can use my River beds MMPs as I explained in my MD to 976.
Anyway, thanks for all the hard works you've done making these maps. Anytime soon I am sure we will have all the parts of the Earth in SC4!

Oh These maps are awesome! I really want that monster map.
G'Day Devotees,
I only have a couple of maps completed this week, but I have been busy in the backstore. I have updated over 200 of my maps on the stex, many only requiring some new pics and quite a few also require new readmes. Most of the TD maps will be totally updated and to that end I have completed and uploaded new maps for Wellington, Mt Ruapehu, Mt Cook, Bundaberg and Albany. On the lex I have updated and uploaded maps of Albany, Lake Onoke and Nth Stradbroke Island. I have finished a new map of Brissy but as yet it is not rendered so that will have to wait.
I know our catalogue looks a little disfunctional at the minute but I have worked my way through about 3/4 of it and so should updated soon.
G'Day Izi,
Thanks mate and yours too, you are making some wonderful maps. I can't remember offhand if I lowered it,(most American maps are lowered), but if it was, it was the same amount all over. I never like to twist terrain to fit water as the elevation falls become inaccurate and so there goes the accuracy tag. Water just has to fit where it fits, so to speak.
Thanks Epic, How's your maps going? I almost have Yakatat Bay finished.
Thanks Stan, Sitka's bubbling along nicely, there is a fair bit of detail to capture.
Maestro old mate, How ya been? Yeah there been a few that haven't been too mountain goatish. Although some are deceiving as I changed the colours in terraformer so everything wasn't white. ;<).
Yes where are your bats Guillaume? Thanks mate.

Thanks Epic, How's your maps going? I almost have Yakatat Bay finished.
The mapping is going slow right now, RL has been busy and i've been working on some other custom content. That's awesome that you're still doing Yakutat, i figured you would have stopped that one when i started doing my own maps. I took a stab at doing it but i don't know how to deal with the large holes on the mountainsides in the SRTM data. How did you deal with that, find a different dataset?
Also, I've been experimenting with watermasks a bit. How do you achieve the smoothly descending seafloor on your maps (like, say, the hawaiian island maps)? I'm only a newbie with photoshop, but what i've been doing is making a two-layer watermask, the bottom one the ~245m for shoreline, the upper layer deeper water (~225m), then blending the two together and with the land .png by hand using the blur tool. It seems to work great for rivers but for actual shoreline, bays, ocean, etc. it's functional but doesn't look great.
Where are my BATs? In my computer :D I keep it secret for the moment (the real excuse is: I have a problem with the PIM-X I cannot resolve...)
Great maps! I prefer this one: Gwaii Haanas!! It looks waaw!!

It seems to work great for rivers but for actual shoreline, bays, ocean, etc. it's functional but doesn't look great.
Water, water everywhere! It would seem some get a little peeved when requested maps don't end up with water on them, I take water addition on maps very seriously and will add as much as is feasibly possible. When I started this lark I looked at quite a few maps and was basically quite disappointed at the quality of water addition without exception. Either canyons and pissholes in the snow or undersea cliffs at the waters edge. Game water has a very small range, about 30m before it begins to get ugly. With a couple of techniques I can push it up to 40m but that really is the limit. I have gone through quite a few different trials to gather and then retain water detail, some have been a little crude.
Most know I gather water from large go-ogle satellite images lassooing the water with the mouse. A tedious but still the only way to accurately capture it. I am always on the look out for some tool to do this but alas there are none, even photoshop's quick selection fails miserably (alright for a red jumper on a blue background in a 6 by 4 snapshot, not so good for 500 green/blue islands on a green/blue sea in a 25000 pixel image though.) Anyhow after capture and transforming on to the dem (don't forget to make a dem layer copy and use levels to stretch and high light it.) one has the first layer of the water mask. We'll take it that warp wasn't used during transforming.
Next make two copies of that layer using 'control j' this will give depth and defintion to the smaller creeks.
Now with the magic wand select all the water and make a new layer below the 3 water layers, feather 1 pixel choose the colour '0a0c0c and flood fill that layer.
Press 'control d' to release the selection and focus on a water layer and magic wand it. (one doesn't want the feather), then contract it by 3.
Hide all the other layers and with the lassoo (minus) relieve the selection from any blank areas or edges (Hey one's spent hours, days weeks collecting this data, one doesn't want to sink it now with sloppy painting.)
Now this will become a template as it may take a few hours depending on how intricate the data is you don't really want to do it again do you? so press 'control c' to copy and make a new layer below everything and press'control v' to paste it. With the magic wand again select that water and focus on the top layer, feather 1 pixel press 'control c' followed by 'control v' and it will paste it into a new layer.
Ok something different now, from the menu Image>Adjustments>Replace Color - Set Fuzziness to 200, Selection, and lightness to -5 and OK.
Focus on the the template, magic wand and contract 2, feather 2, focus on the top layer, control c, control v, replace color -5.
Focus on the the template, magic wand and contract 4, feather 2, focus on the top layer, control c, control v, replace color -5.
Focus on the the template, magic wand and contract 9, feather 3, focus on the top layer, control c, control v, replace color -12.
Focus on the the template, magic wand and contract 19, feather 6, focus on the top layer, control c, control v, replace color -18.
Focus on the the template, magic wand and contract 34, feather 8, focus on the top layer, control c, control v, replace color -24.
Righto one can now delete the stretched dem layer and the water template layer, that should leave you with the dem layer and 10 layers of the water mask. Flatten it and save it.
Open it in terraformer and the lowest water level will be 119m, I set the lowest in terra to 66 and 250 in the middle box so it sucks everything from sea level down without affecting the land.
Job's done ;<)

Can I make another request? I would like to have a map of Barbados.. the only one on the stex was from 2005.
Thanks for the two maps, dobdriver. St Barts is indeed very small but it looks to be an amazing place. If you get a spare moment you should look up St Barts Airport on youtube - you will see some of the scariest landings imaginable. A very challenging airport for pilots.
excellent info drunk, thanks. I'll give it a go next time around; it certainly sounds more efficient than redrawing the watermask multiple times. Just one question: what's this "feathering"? It sounds like a tool but i'm not seeing one in the panel....
rather late edit: I found the 'feather', nevermind on that one. %confuso

well if you crop out the map to the east (or west) by a couple of city tiles, you can work around the "horizontal" scroll error which blocks you from scrolling all the way to the right of the complete map.
as this also reduces the number of city tiles, it might just happen that you end up with all tiles on the remaining map.
Well, it'll definitely make the whole remaining map playable at a certain point, but I didn't try it because I was reluctant to decide which parts are "worthy" and which parts are not.
You can make a nice clean down the 57, over to the 71 and along the 91 over to I15 and then down south; this basically excludes San Bernadino and everything east of the Sta Ana Mountains and should free enough tiles to get the rest of the map complete.
EDIT: but even with this cropping, you'll get an ineffincredibly superduperuberlarge map. Ok everyone knows the LA metro area is biiiiig, but being their and/or looking at the map does not at all reflect the true size in terms of sim city 4 dimensions, this map puts a whole new meaning into the word big.
Hey dobs,
Any update on the Denver and Macau maps? Looking forward to seeing 'em ;)
Thanks!
Hey Dob!
Its me again, coming at you with another challenging request.
Its been almost a while since i requested, and i thought i would present a really good option this time.
I decided that the theme would be " Along the Rivers"~ With that being said, you have the Option to create a map of either:
A.) Riga, Lativa
Or
B.) Kiev, Ukraine.
Do some terrain research on both of them, I'm pretty sure each one would interest you in a way never done before ;D
Really good maps! &apls

G'Day Devotees,
Recently I have been taking a bit of a break, perhaps undeserved but never the less and I have been having a bit of a thrash in Train Giant and A-Train 9. It is quite similar to SC4 except for 1 glaring difference: One is not the gumbyment and one has to PAY tax, not collect it! And an awful lot at that.
On the the good stuff and mail.
Thanks Kitsune, Sure that won't be a problem, coming soon.
You're welcome Eugene, I had a squiz at some of those pics by gosh people ducking all over the joint. Great stuff, Thanks.
Ah Cool Epic, I'm glad you found it.
Welcome back GMT, No that's right SC4 does have some constraints. But it is better to find them than never know that they existed. Yes?
Yeah Willy you could probably cut 4 tiles from one side and not have such an issue. Thanks mate.
Cool, cool, cool Guillaume, Thanks mate.
Don't fret mate, just get the scissors and hack, hack, hack. We can deal with the pieces at a later date. What's that song:
You raise the blade, you make the change.
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
Thanks Portie they're coming along nicely and shall be finished soon. Cheers.
G'Day Mr Starks I shall probably do Riga for you as I already have a request in for Kiev. Thanks mate.
Thanks Supremec, Anytime is okay, there's no timeframe or pressure. Cheers.
Welcome Tvrcars, I had a bit of a look at Co Down the other day. Think I can manage it no probs for you. Thanks mate.
Recently in correspondence with Kitsune he linked me to a utility that will patch 32bit executables to allow them to address up to 4GB of memory in the 64bit space. So I patched mapper and terraformer and gave them a whole new lease of life.
To the extent that truly large maps are now feasible. For the first outing and with the musings on the thread about the LA map pack, I had a dabble. Interesting to say the least. Thanks mate it was much appreciated.

It's huge and took me four and a half hours to render!
I have always thought that perhaps the date 1/1/00 was used to render the initial map image as I have no problem rendering on 2/1/00. Anyhow this is not so:

Lately I have gone to using the hotkey to invoke the Save and Return to Region. It saves a few second from each render and this can save up to 1/2 an hour on a big map like Bruce and Grey.
Any how that's it for now.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.
Cheers

Interesting and how huge maps there Dobs, you did an awesome job. Rendering maps is what takes the most time in the custom content I think. Just rendering each tile one by one for the terrain mod to takes place, It's one thing I hate to do when i start a region, ahah. ( That's why I restrain myself to use small regions based on one city instead of many)
Anyway, the song is Brain Damage/Eclipse. One of my favorites Pink Floyd Song overall. ;)
Oh, and what is that UI skin? Looks interesting.
Thanks dob! And Bruce/Grey county's are probably one of the most epic area's for autumn colors... there is also the second largest nuclear plant by electrical capacity in the world located in Bruce country too.
How's my map going Drunkapple? I think it's been 4 - 5 months since I requested.
And I always thought the maps you use to make were gigantic. I ran the same patch on terraformer myself to see if I could render LA. Alas, I forgot my main computer only has 4GB of RAM, and that map sucked it all up and crashed the program. So now I've got an excuse to go get a new computer, or at least a RAM upgrade. ;D
Also...custom UI!?!
Wow :o
That's really,
really,
really large. Can't imagine the time it'll take to fully develop the map!

OH. DEAR. GOD. %BUd%
So many new possibilities: All of Tokyo, a Hong Kong that reaches up to Gaungzhou, Golfo de Fonseca, a truly epic Vancouver BC that continues up the Frasier, Rotterdam and antwerp
in the same map! The deltas of the nile, indus, and ganges, not to mention the mountains surrounding the pacific!
Curse having an old computer! %bur2$
But seriously, i look forward to seeing what you do with bigger maps, and what you find the new 'max size' to be. :thumbsup:
Can't wait for Yakutat, I've got some big plans for that map. And I too want to know the keybinding for save&exit to region. It has to be some variation of ctrl-s, yes?
edit: I just did some testing. I only have 3gb of ram, but i do have a 64bit OS. Previously the largest map i was able to load with terraformer and open with SC4 was 68km x 64 km. After i patched terraformer i was able to load your excellent San Francisco map, 88km x 88km; all on my measly 3 gigs of ram.
So i save the map successfully, open SC4 with my rendering plugin folder, load the new region and the map is.....incomplete. Lots of the city tiles were blue blanks. Close SC4,
fire up the 4gb tool and patch SC4, load it back up, and the whole map is there, and i can load the tiles and save out successfully. Everything works like a charm. I'm so excited to see what the patched SC4+terraformer can do, and
i hope a patched SC4 will reduce load time with a massive plugin load.edit 2: I bet you could splice your map of the big island of Hawaii back together....

G'Day Devotees,
What a week, I'm beside myself. Sorted out heaps of stuff and finished a few maps and updated some also. I have also stitched Hawaii and Luxembourg together, both are not rendered yet.
Thanks Art,
Thats the song! Sometimes rendering is the longest but mostly not, Just quite tedious. Oh the UI yes that's my personal UI, I forget just how ugly the original is until I load the game without smoke'n mirrors. It's not completely finished yet and I haven't done anything to it for the last seven or so months, It's the last Visual mod I need to finish.
Thanks Kitsune, By gee Chernobyl here we come again.
Thanks Stan, Your map will be done when it finds the secret door in the map-o-matic ;) It's progressing beautifully.
Whatevermind, Make sure you buy 4GB modules of ram, you only need of them. It certainly works on others, I patched a proggie Izi put me on to for capturing google pics I could save 10000x10000 pixel images. It would crash saving 12000x12000, but not any more. Thanks mate.
Thanks Vortext, The hotkey is F8, it saves an awful lot of time rendering.

Hi Dobdriver,
I have been a huge fan of your maps for over a year now, And I love the big maps you come up with. However, I have a serious problem in that I cannot play any of them. I only have XP with moderate memory and terraformer and mapper crash whenever i try to render your large maps. The max region i seem to be able to render is 12x12 large tiles.
I have a huge favor to ask of you or someone else on here. Would it be possible for someone to upload just the PNGs of the co mayo and co galway maps? I could then try splicing them down to a size that would allow me to use them and build cities on them. I have been wanting to use them for my city journal. I know it's probably a big hassle, but if you just converted to png in terraformer and uploaded to mediafire I would be super thankful. for ease . . . the maps are here

once again if someone does this I will be super thankful, and will name a town in the region after them!
G'Day Devotees,
Just checked in with some maps and other things, I'm off again shortly.
Thanks LG, a little bit of SE Asia to enjoy.
Yes these giants are great but rendering is a bugger. Thanks Noahclem.
Thanks Izi, press f8 as your tile is loading and the save and exit to region dialogue will be also available.
G'Day Eldaldo, I have uploaded both of the rendered regions Mayo and Galway. Pop the folders into your region directory and enjoy a little bit of Ireland.
Now a couple of maps I have squished in whilst flitting about.
These were a couple of requests made and then the requestees went elsewhere. They ended up with no homes.

Hello Dob'
I find interesting that you mapped the same spot I did recently !
I noticed that river goes more northward that on my map, how did you do that ? In fact, elevation difference between the lake and the middle of the river is more than 15 meters, making it sunken into the ground... Did you "compress" a little the elevations ?
I think requester are posting both to you and me, as I recently created a folder called "Manchester UK" !
No problem !
Izi
Dobdriver! I cannot thank you enough. You are the greatest! I need to figure out how to render your large maps on my own, because there are so many good ones including those you just released! However, these two should hold me over for some time! Thanks again, A city named dobdriver will be founded in the first one I develop!
These are amazing. Had a lot of fun with a few of these. Anyhow, can I please request a map of Kristiansand (https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=203765316122149489749.0004cd1bdbacea524dbe1&msa=0)? I would be grateful if the map could be rotated about 45 degrees so that the streets in downtown Kristiansand runs N-S and E-W (also the airport could be built then. Thanks!
I second that.
@krbe: you're a Kristian, too?
Hi dobs
You perchance do not have an index of links to your maps? They're all over the STEX, LEX, your PLAN B. . . Thought it would be useful to have an overview of them.
Just a thought.

Hey dob how's my map going? -.-

What a big month for SC4D, First off happy birthday and three hearty cheers!

Although I have been a bit quiet I have not been un-busy (now there is a strange word) and have a hearty bag of goodies to share.
And for some mail.
G'Day Izi,
I think some requestees are hedging their bets, although I take a slightly dimmer view as to asking two capable mapmakers to make the same map. The map isn't compressed, I have other techniques to extend rivers to about 40m asl without producing chasms.
G'Day Eldaldo,
You're welcome mate and I hope you enjoy them. I shall soon have a third County completed.
G'Day and welcome Krbe.
I have started a map of Kristiansand for you, it is very detailed and will take a little time to complete, Thanks mate.

Also, i really like the sitka map too. Now that i've figured out how to get good alaska data from the usgs' new mapping system i think i'm going to have to take a look at trying some alaska maps, there's some real good terrain there.

Run the file, then a popup will ask which program to patch. Browse to the mapper folder, select the exe. That should do it.

G'Day Devotees,
Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas,
Not much has been happening in the map room lately. I have finished a couple but not quite ready yet. All of last weeks maps have now been uploaded.
I have found with greyscale maps ie. normal maps that SC4 renders in-game that the closer to white the highest point is and a custom height plug made to suit the smoother the map will render. This includes maps whose highest elevations are lower than the standard 3m steps.
G'day Willy,
checking out the requester mail and I found he wanted it rotated ;<) so I duly did and it is now uploaded to the stex. An un-rotated version is on the lex. Thanks mate, have yourself a great christmas.
G'Day Epic,
Thanks mate, That certainly is a monster map. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers
Small show for christmas.

Thanks so much Dobs! Never realized how big it was till i tried to open it. Had to make some cuts here and there, but i'm really happy with how it turned out. Now its time to work! Once again thanks for the map :)
Hello mate,
First to all, Merry Christmas my friend :) !!
Well I am here because I need your help my friend, as may you know I love your maps, it has a lot of details and I love it ! A few days ago I was watching a TV program about the Mt. Fuji and I was thinking in a map of this huge zone, It is possible ? I would like to do a Japanese region in that map and for that reason I've made two pictures...

This would be the perfect map, but I am not sure if this map is possible because is really huge !! You are the master here, so if you think that you can make a map of this zone, please do it, I would be eternally grateful !!

In this picture you can see the same zone, but this time with a more closer zoom, to reduce the size. As I told you I prefer the first picture, the big size but if it is not possible maybe you can make this zone...
# Try to search for yourself in Google Earth, Just put Mt Fuji and take a look :thumbsup:
Bye my friend and thank you so much for all your work doing maps for us !!!
Greetings
Hey Dobs,
Thanks so much for the Houston and Detroit maps! I finally got a chance to load them up in-game today, they look great!
Hope you're having a wonderful holidays!!!
great maps as usual, congrats :)
Happy new year to you, dob! :)
I've decided to start off the new year with a new project that will hopefully develop into something worthwhile and have another small request for you.
This time I was wondering if you could whip up a small map of the island of Mykonos for me. As you know I'm not a big map type of guy in general; I was thinking that the map would still be pretty small at scale, but I'm not really sure. If it could be scaled down (if necessary) to be maybe no more than 4 large tiles wide that would be lovely.

Thank you in advance, and I hope you have had a lovely holiday season!
Ethan
Yay! you're back, ecoba!
The maps look great, dobs. Happy new year. :)
@ecoba: that entire map would fit on a 7tile x 4tile map without needing to be scaled down. Are you sure you want it scaled down?
Happy new year and thanks for some excellent maps in the past, dobbie. Can I also ask how it's going with Kristiansand?
hi dob, happy new year! i was just browsing through your great maps again and i noticed your amazing macau map posted on November 16, 2012. im just curious, is it possible to rotate it to align it more to the grid? ie, have the main river flowing north to south. i love the map, the size and canals but the diagonals would drive me crazy.
it would be much appreciated. let me know if its possible. :)
G'Day Devotees,

Nice Palestine map too, that's huge. Somebody could work on that for another 10 years.
Have a good one. :thumbsup:

Yes it is that time again. I have recently changed my work shifts and now I find myself home every weekend. Prior I was home for 6 or 7 days at a stretch which seemed a bit easier to deal with maps, Now I only have a couple of days so the map-o-matic gets smokin' hot.

G'Day Devotees,
Gee that time again, it seems to come around double quick these days ;<) Just when I think I have the old register under control, off it goes again. so another eclectic band of warriors to do service this week.
With a new version of SC4Mapper out and Wouanagaine able to do bugfixes, revisions, wishlists and optimisations before he loses his computer.
It has some nifty features, My favourite is the ability to export the png out of the SC4M file rather than the hoop jumping saving, loading then exporting that was required with the old version. There is a config editor, not only easily changing the tiles sizes on the fly but also deleting them. He is currently optimising memory usage and has reported he can load the full Hawai'i map with it unpatched. You know what this means? Even bigger maps with it patched!!! Cue that maniacal laughter.
G'day Willy and thanks, I must have nearly 400 of the little buggers by now. I once thought about 500 and then thought: Nah, I'll never make 500 of 'em. Who knows, stranger things have happened.

Wow, another map of Kraków? Nice to see the map of my city in SimCity ;)
Hey dobs, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to request the following map of Washington, DC. I've been looking for a map that includes both DC proper, Dulles Airport and Andrews AFB. Unfortunately, there aren't any around that have the entire area included. If possible, it would be nice to have the rivers mostly reside in the same city tile(s) so that the real-life bridges across the Potomac could be easily built, if that makes sense.
Thanks a bunch!

I don't think the map is at fault, unless there is a very low or very high spot hidden in that tile
You can check it in SC4TF
Usually ctd on city loading indicate a missing texture for the terrain mod
Can also be SC4Mapper that doesn't create the save file correctly, however I don't really see why it happens on this city only
Can you upload the city savefile just after SC4Mapper created it ( without running SC4 ) somewhere and PM it to me please ?

I play on this region (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2216) created by blade2k5, who I understand to no longer be active. The region itself is here (https://maps.google.fi/maps?q=australia&ll=-18.534304,146.194038&spn=0.271806,0.528374&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&hnear=Australia&t=h&z=12). The region is no longer big enough for my needs and I hate to abandon my beloved Siilijoki. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to help me expand it. I understand this is a somewhat unusual request but would be very grateful if you could help. If it does turn out to be possible I'd be happy to go into detail about the area I'm hoping for. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Cheers,
Noah
Fantastic work, Dob. Your maps never cease to impress. ;D
Noah, I think that the best option in my opinion is to edit the config of the region and then terraform the tiles using terraformer or by hand, it's up to you.
Not sure about the terraformer thing though, terraformer doesn't like Windows 8 :P
Oh yeah and congrats, dobs for getting a CML!

No, what Noah is asking is indeed possible, and shouldn't be too hard. All that has to happen is to make a new map of the same area (covering the new larger extent that noah wants) and then overlay a .png export from the old map (that noah was nice enough to link) onto the new map as a guide to line up the city borders. The new map has to be cropped so the new city borders fall on the same pixel as the old city borders. It may sound hard getting it down to the pixel but its the same level of tolerance we use in placing watermasks and trimming the maps anyways, and it should actually be easier than that with PS overlays, snaps, and resizing the canvas. Then you just import the old cities into their same place in the new region.... presto. ...Although the underwater border between new and old would be off because those are purely handdrawn by the mapmaker, but it's underwater so who cares?
Most of all, never underestimate what dobs can accomplish. :thumbsup:
I didn't mean that dobs couldn't do it, i meant that Noah had cities built on the existing region ( If you follow Siilijoki, you'll know ;) ) and didn't want to abandon them. That's what I meant, not having a new region or such. So he had been playing on this region until there was no more room for what he wanted and needed that SAME region to be larger that the existing area, maybe stretching way farther.
Of course dobs can do it, he can do anything with his trusty ol' map-o-matic. :D
Victor, you know you can import cities from existing regions, right? No reason to lose anything.
Cheers
Willy
&blush Never knew that, always thought that you could, but never really did anything. Now I can import my old regions from my old computer. &idea

Congratulations!
G'Day Devotees,
And welcome to my new home for the next month, Thankyou to the OSITM committee for choosing me and my humble work for special display.
February is such a good month, not the least being it is that old reprobate drunkapple's and my month of birth.
I had these maps finished last week but due to other commitments was unable to find the time to render them, After returning home from work last night I rendered and got them ready for today's display.
Drunkapple has been out questing again, this time to the great river Mississippi and La Crosse. Did he return with the booty? I'll say he did, drunk never returns without the goods.
G'Day Willy,
That's right they're not all here. I have over 300 on the stex another 70 different one's on the lex, a few large scale ones kicking around with links here and there and about a dozen privately released plus about 2 dozen still unreleased, pretty close to 400.
Cheers mate.
G'Day Sunv123, Thanks and you're welcome, The rivers are good but the lakes aren't perfect. I'm in the process of updating the lakes in Raleigh and the water I used was a bit orf. It will be updated in a day or two. Cheers.
G'Day Kbieniu7 and welcome, Thanks mate. Are there other maps of Kraków?. Cheers
G'Day Portie mate, How's things going? That won't be a problem to do Washington, Cheers.

G'Day JM, Thanks mate and you're welcome for the rotated view. Have fun Cheers.
Noah, I can do that no probs. It of course won't be releasable as it will contain Blade's map in it but really a piece of cake and will make it something different and special for OSITM. Thanks and cheers.
G'Day and welcome Sim_link, Thanks mate. Cheers.
Yeah Sunv123, it was like making my own personal Australia Day Honours list with that.
G'Day Epic, Thanks mate for your vote of confidence.
And SunV I don't know what I'd do without my
Quotetrusty ol' map-o-matic
That's right Willy, Just don't forget to make a backup of the region first, Very bloody important. Thanks and cheers.
Some of you may wonder that I don't use a first come, first serve basis for the maps and the order they go into the map-o-matic is not the same order they escape from it, and may even think "Hey I requested a map ages ago and all these others have been released, Not fair"
This is because some are far more intricate than others and to keep things turning over I finish and release easier maps before more intricate stuff. I do not work on one map at a time, usually I have about a dozen or so cooking away in various states. So if you have a requested map, be patient it will arrive I have a current request list of about 30 maps.
The first OSITM Show.
This little number was patiently requested by Packerfan386, Thanks mate.

While mappers may not be constructing buildings or showing pictures of cities, the work they do is equally important IMHO. Without a map, where would cities be built? Congratulations on the well-deserved OSITM, Dob.

G'Day Devotees,
Welcome to OSITM 2.
The map-o-matic has just received her monthly service and is chugging along out the back.
I recently got an email from Epic asking what happened at the silly server and they were no longer serving geotiffs et al from their site. I went along and sure enough only esri arcgrids and floats were available. Now I haven't used or been to the silly server for over three years so it was a bit of a shock to see. It's not quite as clunky as it was but still a bit of a slow monster.
I have used arcgrid files for all US maps from the beginning converting them in global mapper, it is a 32bit floating point raster file and finding free software to open proprietary files is like finding the proverbial rocking horse kaka. Anyhow having searched the big wide etherwebby for the last couple of weeks and trying out all sorts of crapware last night I finally found an open source GIS program that can open arcgrid and hgt files (the main dem files to use) and export them as 32bit or 16bit geoTIFFs. 3dem is very good but is limited in not supporting esri files and the author has long given up the ghost unfortunately.
My goal of eventually writing a tutorial (with all bits in one place) with free or cheap (do you think I can find a free editor that edits 16bit images? Nah) software is almost ready to hit the stands.
JM, Robin, Hellken, Noah, Serkanner, Eugene, Vortext, Art, Willy, Metarvo, Sim_Link, RickD and Portie, Thank you all for your kind words and the support you and everyone here at SC4d has given me over the years, Without it I probably would have stopped a long while ago.

Thanks for the tutorial! A few years ago I tried to learn how to make real maps but I was missing information.
Congrats on the OSITM. &apls
Excellent, the tutorial is on it's way!
That little screencap tool for google maps should be great, i HATE the time it takes to take 100+ screencaps and stitch them together in PS.
Also, i do believe quantam can handle the .flt files: i haven't taken one all the way through the mapping process yet but the program was able to load a .flt file i had sitting around.
Good to see you doing this, Dobs. I once made a map with DEM data so it's not entirely new to me but I see there are many tools I never would have found on my own. (Not that I intend to make any more maps, why, you've made all the ones I would ever play ;) )
Cheers

G'Day devotees,
Oh Look OSITM 3.
What a nice surprise it was to find Wouanagaine has worked hard at updating Mapper and we can only hope he will find some time to update Terra also. I have been known to be a bit of a critic of both mapper and terra about many of their issues and bugs, but this new mapper deals with them and cuts down on resource hogging marvellously and adds some great new commands to boot. Today while rendering the maps I noticed the new colour scheme reminds one of a water colour, Quite a pleasing look I thought.
It will open maps up 212.992km per side or 52tiles without being patched, the Cornwall map is a doddle except I used a very custom height plug so it sinks in mapper a little.
Thanks Kergelen, that is just the start I shall complete it over the coming month.
Cheers
Thanks Epic, Yes GMS is a great time saver.
Quotetake 100+ screencaps and stitch them together in PS.
That is exactly what I used to do, used to take hours. Now the most I have had to take is about 9 and while it's sucking in the images I am doing something else ;<).
Yes quantum will convert float files I tried last night, no probs at all. I also had a good read of 3dem's manual as I caught somewhere it said "and most common types of dem". It will open both float and arcgrid but they are not coded to the format that 3dem is looking for and it jumbles them unfortunately. So quantum it will be.
Cheers
Thanks Willy, I have been thinking of another of your suggestions too, a catalogue of my international maps. Probably without pics though,

But wait there's more.
After making that rather large map of Cornwall and Devon, certainly the largest map I have made and dare I say perhaps the largest map ever made for SC4.

Nice West Country series, Dobs. I would like a cider now ;D
I think a catalogue with pics would be even better - my bias would go towards the mapper images instead of the rendered ones. I essentially have all these in a single map so I can quickly take a look at them. It's really an advantage. Let me know if I can help with it.

G'Day Devotees,
This is OSITM 4.
While writing the tutorial, it got me thinking about the many ways to prepare dem for maps. I don't know, I have about a dozen or more ways to make maps these days. One thing I am always on the lookout for is a faster way to capture water, but alas I haven't found any yet. Leaving one's 'puter to differentiate water, land, islands, rivers etc is a bit like giving a baby some crayons then trying to fit the scrawled mess onto the map. What looks different to the human eye is not necessarily different to the 'puter.
Anyhow getting back to the dem I prepared Washington by three different techniques, loaded them into terra and took some 3d snaps and produced this image.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmembers.ozemail.com.au%2F%7Eccair%2FSC4%2FBMB%2FMismatchWashington.jpg&hash=aa970314eb038486be4a097707b37ffe268e443a)
The grey areas are matched, the three different colours (yellow, cyan and magenta) are the areas of mismatch. The differences are not great but which one is correct? Without going there with a jigger or theodolite I couldn't really say. Actually the differences are caused by the different algorithms used by programs to interpolate data when sampling up and down, some are better than others but all are a little different.
I have been working on Noah's Siilijoki map extension and have basically got it ready. I am now just waiting for him to send me his game generated map file and directions about where he wants it cut %confuso

Now here is something I don't normally do, show working projects ;) Something different for a special request in a special month.
While scaling it to fit Blade's original map I found it to be rather out of scale, shrinking 10km in one direction and 3km in t'other. So I may release a full version of this without the mid band of medium tiles. Hmmm we'll see.
Thanks Willy, mmm a cider would go down a treat. If you can make a perfect facsimile of your atlas in basicColors.ini I will display them with that ;<) Cheers.

great updates and a great tutorial. it must get boring when you need to make an in game pic, loading all of those city tiles for each map....ugh. :)
I think i'll give my water bottle to the map o matic, don't want that to break down. :D
Oh yeah, and great work with Death Valley, very good for my evil ones. ()flamdev()
Absolutely phenomenal work here &apls &apls &apls
So much top-quality mapping work and a great tutorial as well! Not to mention the project going on in my little neck of the words. Expect a PM from me shortly.
A K-point for your tutorial and request taking :)
-Noah
it's going to be so nice to have a full tutorial all in one spot for handy referencing. :thumbsup:
Also, dobs, in the tutorial you forgot the bit between saving the first .png and scaling in TF about avoiding the Terraformer bug that tops off the initial .png above 6000m.
Hey dobs, it's me again. $%Grinno$%
Maybe you could do one of Daytona Beach in Florida? Maybe from Ormond Beach to Port Orange? It's maybe a little big, but I guess it's worth a try. &mmm I'm trying to make a large beach city for my MD and the elevation is almost perfect for what I'm looking for.
Anyways, keep up the great work dobs, we all truly appreciate it. &apls &apls
PS, I love how you can see the highway trenches in your maps. Perfect. :D
Great work on these capitals. A difficult couple indeed :D
For Daytona Beach, I think Ormond - Port Orange is only 20km so it could be a good tad bigger. Rotated version looks desirable, and if both that barrier island and the mainland shore could fit into a single large tile that would be great. Just a thought.
Cheers
Willy
G'Day Devotees,
Hey, I'm up to OSTIM 5
Well everything is runnin' hot and bothered this way, the mercury is sitting on 36 celcius inside and out. Anyhow I got plenty of projects on the road and thought I can crack this one out in between, so I did.
Thanks JM, Oh I pretty inured to rendering these days. Done a few. Cheers mate.
SHhhhhiiiiiiiisssshhhhhhhh!!! oh that certainly cooled her off, Thanks Sunv. Cheers.
Thanks Noah, Project Siilijoki is bubbling. Cheers
G'Day Epic, thanks mate. Nah I didn't forget, it's that this particular map doesn't show the bug so I will add it to an addendum along with finding the lowest point if not making a coastal map. thanks and cheers.
Oh Sunv again ;<), Daytona Beach and speedweek. Motors are hot, babes are cool, sounds like my kinda place! Thanks mate.
G'Day Willy, Thanks mate. Interestingly not so long ago they were quite cosy, how times do change and not necessarily for the better I might add. I'll look at rotating it for you. Thanks and cheers.
While I do have a couple of maps almost complete, I have been working on the other projects a bit. Currently making pics for the catalogue.
I still have a show though and without further ado.
Thanks to Sunv, thanks mate

Perfect, Dobs, gonna get right to downloading after I'm done with mobile. :P
And that was really fast. REALLY FAST. I must thank you for that speed! &dance
First of all, Congratulations to your OSITM! &apls
I don't know if this is the right place to request a map, but I'd love to have one of Linz, Austria.
That's turning out to become a wonderful tutorial, Dobs! Nice and incredibly fast job on Daytona as well (the o'matic on steroids? :D)
I think I've got another sort of request (nothing too urgent though so let your machine have a beer first). Can you expand your Denver map to include Fraser, Colorado (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.9437,-105.814476&spn=0.107656,0.185051&t=p&z=13)? There's a particularly interesting bit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollins_Pass) in between.
Cheers
Willy
Congratulations to the OSITM! And it's nice to see that there will be finally a english tutorial. I wrote one in german a few years ago: http://www.simforum.de/showthread.php?t=169711 (http://www.simforum.de/showthread.php?t=169711). At that time the GDAL integration into QGIS wasn't that good... ;)
You might be interested in a few points, that'll make your mapping even faster, because QGIS/GDAL can do a lot more for you when you manually edit the GDAL commands:
1) You can use gdalwarp (Raster -> Projection -> Transformation) to reproject your map to UTM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system) and rescale it to 16m per pixel via the -tr switch
2) You could use the raster calculater to rescale the map on the z-axis to prepare the map for the 16bit PNG export: (raster + 250)*10
3) And finally you can use gdal_translate to export a 16bit PNG. You'll have to use the switches -ot UInt16 and -of PNG
toja
Another nice map &apls
At Willy's suggestion, I'd like to ask your permission to upload our version of the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky map--or maybe it would be better if I sent you the files for you to upload since you did the work of making the map and I've just redone the config.bmp. Anyway, this is what we've done:

Keep up the great work here!
G'Day Devotees,
Welcome to OSITM 6.
It has been another busy weekend down in the map shed, the map-o-matic is purring in the corner and Noah's map is going through a metamorphosis. The catalogue is almost compete, it needs some adjustments to the large scale maps and I have completed half of the images but it is up and running and the links are live.
Thanks Sunv, you're welcome mate. Ahh the map-o-matic can lift her skirts when she wants to.
G'Day Flatron and thank you mate. A map of Linz you say, I think that is achievable.
Thanks Willy, (just call me Lance :D :D :D). Hmm let me see, I think that (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.9437,-105.814476&spn=0.107656,0.185051&t=p&z=13) is covered with this (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/25614-new-year-in-the-rockies-and-kittredge-colorado/). Cheers.
G'Day and welcome Toja, Thanks mate. I looked at your tutorial when you wrote it, google translate wasn't so good then ;<). Thanks for your Gdal tips, I haven't had time to check them out yet.
1.The change of projection I couldn't recommend though as google's satellite images are in geographic lat and long the same as most dem. I have changed projections before then added water and what a mine field to align. I think after the second map one would be either committed or in gaol :D :D :D.
2.The re-scaling will be dependent on the algorithm used (the best re-scaling I have seen is from a gmapper 32bit tiff into photoline). I shall check them out later today. Thanks and cheers.
G'Day Noah, Thanks mate. Yeah you can upload it but not to the stex and can you keep the original readme and just edit it to add about the config, ta. Thanks and cheers.

I really like the Linz and Warsaw maps. Plenty of flat space to build on.
Thank you very much! &apls
Yeah the danube is really great, especially for motorboating ;D
or riding a bike alongside it.
And Charlotte, NC is really great. I enjoy reading kathy reichs' novels alot and charlotte seems to be a great place...
A very sad thing about the Linz map is, that in the tenth tile from the left, sixt from top, is the site of the former concentration camp of Mauthausen.It is now a memorial and when I was in year nine, we went there with school, which is obligatory for every pupil in bavaria(and i think in all of germany). One should never forget what happened there.
I have to say that I have been searching everywhere for an up to date tutorial to create maps. Thank you so very much. I have run into a small problem. I am trying to create a map centered around Lat: 43.59 Lon:71.33 but have run into a few small issues. I follow your steps to get the USGS data and then convert the files. One thing I have noticed though is that my files are all white for some reason, no grey scales to indicate elevation changes. Maybe it was something I am doing, I am not sure. Maybe a setting I missed when converting. Any thoughts? Thank you again for this amazing tutorial.
G'Day Devotees,
Number 7, the penultimate OSITM post.
The map-o-matic is still choggling away strongly in the corner and the tutorial is complete minus the addendums although I have used up all the post space and the final lines and pic are missing, These I will fix when I carve it off this thread into it's own. There is still enough to complete a map from go to woe.
The catalogue is completed and up to date, only the large scale maps are left to link as they require readmes I shall make some in the coming weeks and enliven them.
Thanks Serkanner, that there is plenty of. Most of Europe is flat, hell most of the world is flat ;<). cheers.
Thanks Flatron, you're welcome. That sounds cool, boating and biking. Thanks and cheers.
G'Day and welcome Belgerith, Hmm all white you say, maybe you have struck the dreaded all white terraformer bug, This I'll be covering in the next posts of the tutorial. Thanks and cheers.

Learning how to pronounce Saskatchewan as an 8 year old or whenever that was was fun. These maps look like fun, too.

This will be my last post during OSITM.
It has been a big month for me with 22 maps published, a tutorial and a catalogue written. I hope you have enjoyed it.

I caught this snippet of an interview with drunk and transposed it:
Interviewer: ...and this is the largest map?
drunk: No Cornwall is the largest map.
Interviewer: Some may dispute that.
drunk: Some may talk the talk, but choose to trip at the first opportunity when walking the walk.
Interviewer: Is this map a thousand tiler?
drunk: No.
Interviewer: Close?

Thanks!
G'Day Devotees,
By now some of you may have seen I have a pretty hacked up UI, and some have emailed me about it. I started it a few years ago but haven't done anything to it for about 18 months. I first showed a snippet of it with the drunken power shed, the custom info card did not go with the lot but was part of the UI. I wish to complete this over the coming months but do not have time to make 4 or 5 maps every week and work on it. Something has to give, so I will not be accepting any new map requests until I have uploaded the UI. No exceptions so please do not ask. I have about 20 requests I shall complete during this time also.
Last week was particularly special and some? one? Willy? may have noticed. Hmmm, maybe not. As I mentioned before OSITM I was close to 400 maps, well Luxembourg was my 400th map available to play. ;<)

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Amazing work here, Dobs. :thumbsup:
And I know the East Coast towns too well... those pesky line mountains and those curvy rivers.
Before I forget, Great OSITM run! I think we can all say that we learned a lot! :thumbsup:

G'Day Devotees,
Something has to give, so I will not be accepting any new map requests until I have uploaded the UI. No exceptions so please do not ask. I have about 20 requests I shall complete during this time also.
;D

I look forward to the new UI. Even if it's not something i use, it will be very interesting (for me and some others i know of) to pick at it and see how it works.
edit: after looking at the screens in your other thread, yeah i will definitely use it. :thumbsup:
Oh, I am so dumb. I don't know how I overlooked that. :-[
I'm so sorry about that, Lance Dobs ::). :(
Dobs, great work on those last few. Honestly, I didn't realize Big Bourg was number 400. A fitting map for that milestone, I'd say.
As for the UI, I think I got inspiration from your pics of it to search for the minimize button and get rid of it. I remember an earlier attempt about a year ago where I thought, "it's probably hardcoded". So: thanks, and good luck releasing it.

Something tells me you think his real name is Lance. :D You should read the context of where he said that - something to do with steroids. You know Dobs and his jokes ;)

Hi Dobs, That's famous!!! &apls &apls
If I could, I would build on all your maps :thumbsup:
Hey dobs,
I was wondering if the map-o-matic could churn out a map of the Lagos/Ikeja megatropolis in Nigeria? You will see that is is a very interesting map.
Hi, I was wondering if I could get a map of this section of the Sierra Nevada? By my calculations, it would be 14 by 18 large city tiles, is that too big?

Thanks.
Heya Dob!
I have a few requests.
Could you possibly map St. Petersburg, Russia?
If you have time could you also do Lviv, Ukraine and Kaliningrad, Russia?
Hello Dob, I don't know if you are still making maps, mayby having other thinks to do, but if you do i have a question for you.
