Downloadable Regions

[Tenth Wave]

I'm not so great with creating regions, and I'm somewhat disappointed with the few the game gives you. Does anyone have some recommendations for mods that can be downloaded to add in more regions? Or is there a realistic random region generator mod somewhere?

Even better, there are lots of areas of the world that have been converted to game regions (and a user who will take your requests for new ones), but you'll need some Graphical Editing tools to be able to put them into the game.

The most common ones will be SC4 Terraformer (you can download it at SC4Devotion, do a Google search) and SC4 Mapper (Same place). They need some work to get them working, Mapper needs a custom BATch file to start it up with a spoofed C:\Documents and Settings folder and Terraformer needs a recompiled version of one of its binaries. Do searches for "Mapper Windows Vista" and "Terraformer Windows 7 SP1" (Without the quotes) at SC4 Devotion to find the posts where the fixes are.

Dammit, forgot to say where to find them. Look on Simtropolis' STEX and SC4Devotion's LEX and you'll find a wide variety. Just do a search for a place and if it's available, it'll come up.

Also, there's the tutorial about how to make your own map+regions : http://www.sc4ever.com/knowledge/showarticle.cfm?id=1103

Right on. Thanks to both of you guys.
