But the file itself seems to get saved as RGB. For some reason, SC4 doesn't load the highmaps directly saved by TerraMaker, even as the colors are already in greyscale. Once you got a terrain you like, you have to save it as a 24bit greyscale bmp-file. So TerraMaker's standard sizes already fit to be used for the SC4 heightmap import. To get the needed size of the heightmap, you need to sum up all sizes of each citys in a row and to add 1 pixel. TerraMaker supports heightmaps of 129x129, 257x257, 513x513, 1025x10x2049 pixels by standard.Д®ach small city has a size of 64ењ†4, each medium city a size of 128x128 pixels and each large city a size of 256x256 pixels in the terrain heightmap. For now, I did use TerraMaker to randomly generate a greyscale heightmap. IronArcturus: In SimCity 4, is there a way to create a whole randomized region with different types terrain? I only see an All-Land or All-Water option in the game when trying to create a new region.

A software called Terragen should be one of them, as far as I can remember. Just be sure, they are - depending of their size - blue, red or green only and not mixed.ДЄlso there is software which can create random terrain and export them as greyscale picture. they can be less, so you can use that to make a kind of chess board for easier planing of city's with the same size, next to each others. RGB values for the config.bmp don't have to be 255 only. Here's one as exapmle: ДЄs far as I can recall, some additions to this link: So you can use 3rd party software to create randomized regions.Дetailed descriptions can be found online. It is also possible, to define the size of each city in a region with another rgb-map. But SC4 is able to import greyscale highmaps to create the Terrain from. Ingame there is no way for a randomized terrain.
