Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
No, he means smaller because by the time a 2048x2048 map is filled it is already too laggy to use.

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
well i can pump up a few nice heightmaps i found, variable between 512x512 and 2kx2k so all i have to do is just work them a bit
Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
yep, i confirm what Ext said... i m looking for smaller maps not bigger... but well i won t refuse to play on another 2048x2048map
by browsing on the forum, in the scenario section, i found again an old scenario that could maybe be nice to play until Zx is done with his scenario. It s the Africa Scenario, on a 1024x1024 desert/tropic map. it features Many cities but they are small, industries seems have been hand placed, each region seems specialised, and if i add the manual industry grf it could stay so. It also have sean and ocean around allowing boat transportation (canal of Suez can be built).
a possible goal : -Connect all town by any way possible,(a station may cover more than one town due to the scale of the map)
- make a fully integrated rail network (allowing trains to go from anywhere to everywhere even if it s different companies tracks),
- the same for road could be a nice addition (many town might be only linked by road, and some industries too),
- service all industries on the map (sending the raw material only to the nearest industries, and for express and armored using the cargodist)
- we could maybe set also the challenge of growing some towns with the towngrowth patch activ.
what do you guys think ?
and if your positiv on this map, what grf do you guys want ?
Edit :ZX, how advanced is your scenario ? if it s at the stage of looking for an heighmap, have you gave a look to the Corsica heightmap i posted today (in the autogenerated river thread ?)... Also, do you realize that if we want to play with the actual chillpatchpack, the scenario will have to be built with a OTTD version lower or equal to 1.0.5 i believe. (it s missing many feature from grf you may want to load before generating the map....)

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
1024x1024 then, im using "project a" as base, (original 4096x4096, but has to be downsized to 512x512 to be usable for ottd)
then i mirrored it to create a coastline and now i need more filling for the other 50-60% of the map...
here is what i got as heightmap (some modifications already made but...)
mainly modding it to remove the symmetry and to make it feel more random

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
It s looking really good ,
i even tried it ingame, the relief is really interesting... but the fact that you downsized the heightmap from 4000x4000 to 500x500 make that many details from the heightmap are lost... so instead of filling up the 50% missing, i would rather suggest you to cut what u ve done, rotate it 90degre and then resize the heightmap to keep it 1024x1024 but with land everywhere, if you see what i mean. This way there might be more details appearing afterward and we will notice a bit more where are the narrow valleys in the relief.
Edit: you can forget my advice, it s making a terrible distortion to the map and won t increase the wideness of many valley since it will be only widening things in one direction (horizontal or vertical)

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
nah this is the original heightmap: (open it in orig format (4kx4k) to see what i mean about the detail, 512x512 of it is actually pretty ok looking
and this is what i got at this moment: (added some real world on the south 50%) (atm filling left corner a bit)

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
nice addition of land, i was going to propose you to decrease the size of my corsica map and add it there in the empty space (i tried myself but was stopped by my poor knowledge of Irfanview)... of course land is good idea too as a land mass is welcome to give spaces to all players...
Now there is the quite large sea... meaning many boats , and also not very practic neither realistic to bridge or tunnel for railways and road.... any idea how to deal with it ? maybe creating some island that we will use as hubs(for boat and eventually air) could be nice and practic for cargodist gameplay style, isnt it?
I also can t wait to play on it, the relief is really nice(even with the decreased details i talked about before )

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
just be patient, im filling it up nicely it just takes more time as i prefer filling it manually so the feel isnt ruined
EDIT: nevermind, copy paste A LOT from multiple heightmaps got me to this more work on it still

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
whats that mention about building it in 1.0.5 ? can i not make it in the special build?
Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
yes you can also make it with Chillpatchpack if you like.... just note that your scenario might become obsolete soon"ish" as i remember Chill mentioning that the next Chillpatchpack would probably lose savegame compatibility.....
that s why i mentionned the 1.0.5 version... this would allow compatibility with the actual CPP, the futures, and also the trunk versions.

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots

Re: OTTD Romazoon's screenshots
yeah this is just a nice heightmap game, im actually working on a INFRA-similar map as well, but that will consume A LOT more time before even being CLOSE to a workable state...
anyway ill get taht @home

I like the way you just shoved Ireland onto that map. That is hilarious!
