Report a translation problem
then i looked at the traffic
How do you add towns?
A couple of things, was the reason you chose somewhere like Middlesborough rather than York a stalwart of the British rail system.
Also, Ayr is spelt wrong, with a added "e" on the map.
Thanks again.
Do you know what sort of distance we are talking about with the ingame maps.
I am completely new to Transport fever.
I am use to 'Base boards' each representing so many square KM or miles (depending on your choice), if you want a 100 mile run you simply join several baseboards together, and map accordingly .
With TF you get the choice of small, large maps Etc, but it don't tell you what distance these represent.
Cheers
Put in the highest point (886M True World) and all I got was massive spikes all over the high points.
Either this program don't allow true mapping, I downloaded a bad map, or a lot of smoothing is the norm.
The games I have built maps for are all 1 to 1 scale (Trainz for example) perhaps I'm expecting too much, or I'm doing something completely wrong.
Anyway, thanks for all your help, appreciated
In all honesty, I'm not too big into map making, I only made this because there wasn't one (same with TF1) but some better ones have/do start appearing ;)
terrain.party was a no go. Seems to be all American. A point of interest though. I found a UK site that supplies a great looking height map of the UK. its:- maps-uk.com . Might be of interest to you.
Cheers
This is popular depending on size requirements: https://terrain.party/
Where do you download your UK height maps from ??? Site link if possible.
I would like to try an experiment using SRTM data but I need a fresh map to start with
Thanks
I accidentality deleted your map.
How do I download it again ????
Can't find a re-download link anywhere on this site
Cheers
If so and its not showing, you may have to enable experimental map sizes (bottom of description)
I want to pick your brain again
2 queries
I have just made a map which I'm calling 'GWR', it covers the old Great Western Railway, South Wales, Southern England, and the West country.
To get it more or less to scale (Passenger stations are roughly the correct distance apart) and towns don't run into each other, I used a 1-2 map, but to get it to look right I had to rotate the whole thing on its side. It looks good, but is there a North / South on these maps and if so what influence does it have on the game (If any)
I was hoping to use a huge map but I couldn't find anything above 'Very Large', reading your notes I noticed you edited the settings lua files. What do you use to edit them.
Cheers.
Sorry to be such a nag
Looks quite good at first glance ;)
I can understand the frustration, the editing tools in this program are quite basic,
Normally I use a program called 'TransDem ' which uses SRTM data from NASA.
The result is terrain accuracy to within 4 Metres. Unfortunately not all 'Games' allow you to use it.
Anyway, thanks for all your help to this new comer to TF 2 .
(71 years old and still learning
If I do upload the result I'll be sure to mention you
Thanks again

Feel free to do whatever you wish with the map and re-publish if you wish, no problems there.
I only converted my tpf1 map over because I like playing a UK map :)
As for the edges etc, yeah the heightmap and way the water table generates in TPF2 forced me to set water level a bit lower than I would have liked, there's probably better heightmaps out there though, but I had previously spent some time (for tpf1) editing / smoothing and generally making it a bit better for gameplay than the original 'more detailed' heightmap. Being that its massively scaled down (and features over-emphasized) I felt it necessary.
As I might of mentioned I am new to TF2 or TF1 for that matter.
One thing I enjoy is making terrains, topographical features, Etc.
If I could have your permission to use your map as a base I would love to make some more additions to it.
One thing I don't understand with TF2 are the seed numbers.
Can I enter that (Whatever that is) and load from your basic map. IE no height just the Outline.
If this isn't possible how do flatten the terrain, remove assets and add items.
I would like to use your map as a starter to creating my own,possibly leaving out Ireland and adding Western France. I have created terrains for other games, but with your help it would save me a lot of experimenting with TF2.
If necessary my email address is available through my Steam profile or a PM.
If you haven't the time then I completely understand.
Cheers

I have dropped the whole level across the entire map so docks Etc don't have a chunk if cliff behind them. I have also revamped the M4 corridor, adding several more towns and Margam steel works (One of the biggest in Europe) .
Like I said this only for personal use
Anyway, a great map. Thanks
Or alternatively, if you have already started, instead of continue, choose to load your game and add the sandbox mod.
