terrian.party down?

[TheOne]

It appears for me that terrian party has been in a way taken down by mapquest. anyone see the same thing?

You have to use another map, where there's a bar on the right side of the screen.

There should be like 6 maps, 2 of them are mapquest maps, which are no longer supported by MQ

I believe it's only for US maps

What does this have to do with Cities Skylines?

Lots of map makers use it to create real world maps.

Has anyone found a solution to using Terrian.party? I have been trying many different locations in and out of the US and still get nothing. If using something else then Terrian.party, how hard or simple is it to get your file into the game?

I can load it just fine and in any part of the world. Maybe it's banned in your country, no idea why that would be the case though.

Also works fine for me. Try another browser.

It's also terrain.party, not terrian.party ;)

Hmm... the site is up and working, but the problem lies with the data. When you download the heightmap zip file, there are no height maps included.
The USGS and other satellite data are unavailable at the moment and all you get is the co-ordinates for the location.
I hope and expect that will be fixed soon.

Update!
https://terrain.party/ is back to normal working order again!

You can optionally use Open Street maps (OSM) to get maps. It is public domain iirc.

Also, if all you have is the map coordinances, then you can use Cimtographer or the OSM Import Tool or similar to import the maps into the map editor. I don't think the road importer is working yet though.

When map making, I want the height map data that terrain.party provides from sources such as Aster and the USGS topographical maps of the world via satellite telemetry.
I am not necessarily looking for city street maps, but rather terrain mapping.
So when terrain.party went down, the height map data was unavailable and there aren't many other free sources for these on the web.

Thank You so much for the update!!

But the coordinaces will give you a terrain map. I don't know what the differences from the ASTER or USGS are. But I just use the coordinaces as it was easier, quicker, and I didn't notice any differences in using any of the 5 maps that are in the zip file. but I wasn't looking for quality, just looking for replicating my home town.

The only issue I had was the main water source. The Columbia River. I got partial in the NW edge and a little more in the entrance of the SE. but the whole middle was level ground I had to dig out. Not to mention all of the other rivers/creeks/lakes on the map.

Here's a video on it if it helps anyone. I can't find the better one, I must have forgot to bookmark it. But it went into greater detail on how and why to use all of the options. This is just a quick and dirty one. About 1:30 it shows the import of just using numbers from the zip file.
