My next terrain project

[+Gepard 11,621]

Back to Michigan, USA

SitRep: I made two new tiles for suburbs. Further i created transistion tiles from sea to famland and from sea to forrest. I still have to create transition tiles from sea to city and then i hope, that the terrain editor will make his job to do the transistion of the map automatically.

You see in front the city tiles and in the background the two suburb tiles

Here the suburb tiles are on the left, the city tiles are right.

Here you see the two suburb tiles. One as only living area, the other with shopping centers or factories or whatever it is.

bigger sets of buildings tend to be shopping centers. especially with bigger parking lots. smaller sets of buildings tend to be the factories

I'm not from Michigan but the suburb neighborhood tiles feel right at home. So many easter eggs could be placed on this map too. Don't suppose there's a cargo ship that looks close to a lake freighter?

I'm fighting a little bit with the TerrainEditor. Automatic transistion of tiles works fine. But there is one small problem. TE kicks out all of my city tiles and make them to farmland. Funny.

Surely it is only a small mistake in the textureslist.ini. But which?

SitRep: At the moment i'm placing forrest tiles on the map. This must be done by hand, what means, it is time consuming. As you see on the map the canadian forrests are now on the map and i'm working southwards.

When all forrest tiles are laid out, i will make the transition run with the terrain editor. Cross the fingers, that this tool will do the job properly. Otherwise i will have to do a lot of handwork.

I found a small mistake on my suburb tiles: "Willow creek". Funny.

If you want to know, where Willow Creek is located: The red button west of Detroit
