Sun rises in the West and sets in the East?

[nowytends]

When I created my city in the Map Editor, I assumed North was up and so on. Now that after dark has released, the sun rises in what I assumed was the West, and sets in the East. Is there any way to rotate the map without destroying everything?

Hey, how about this? Its a game, the map your building on is imaginary, the measure and passage of time bears no resemblance to time as we know it. There is no weather in your city- no change of temperature. Maybe you could imagine that it is really a city located in a parallel universe somewhere out there in space... Does it really matter that much?

for him it does, so if you don't have anything useful to contribute, don't contribute at all.

I'm curious about this too. I like to build real world cities and it's odd to see the sun set in what should be the east and rise in what should be the west. It's really not a huge deal as I Iove the game but it would be nice to have it accurate :)

A solution to rotate the map lies in the Heightmap: 1) in the map editor export a height map file (.png) of your map you want to rotate. 2) use Photoshop or any other image editing software to rotate your png image file 180 degrees (or 90 or 270). Save the rotated image file as a .png again. 3) In C:S map editor import the height map png file you just rotated before and voilá.

While editing in image software remember to not change the colors, keep it in gray shades.

With this Mod you can rotate the Map, well actually you rotate the sun, but then you can exactly localize the sunset and sunrise

I cant see any other logic solutiojn to this, than to "ASSUME" north is down and south is up, then yo uhave solved this very hard problem :-D

Lol come on, you obviously assumed wrong, since the sun ALLWAYS rise in the east my friend, except if you live in china i think :-D

I tried fixing it with the Time Warp mod but all I can figure out is input my city's latitude and longitude. Can't figure out how to make the sun rise in the east and set in the west.

Ask the Mod creator in the comments on the Workshop?

At the time your post must of been many pages back and didn't see it. We have many making bug posts. Don't freak out about it.

But, didn't map makers agree that west is the leftside of the heightmap image? Because the map editor reads import gray-scale images and most of us try to line the image's top to north.

Just see it as a flat earth, actualy a allaround South pole just a middle NORTHpole, Rofl, that way you can Exclude a Sun Moving from east to west but just rotating Above and a middle in the Heliocentric hemisphere!...ehhh i mean FLAT earth
