Paddington To Exeter - 275 town massive map

Description
Exeter in the bottom left - Paddington in the top right.

Bridgeend in the top left - Brighton in the bottom right

... And - nearly every town or village with a current railway station in that rectangle.

No industry...

Suggest running with GrandT's massive map settings.

Put together for the purpose of running a lot of passenger services but you will I think need some decent kit to run this.


So for example you can run trains from
Paddington to Exeter
Paddington to Bristol
Clapham to Exeter
Clapham to Portsmouth
Clapham to Southampton
Clapham to Alton
Clapham to Weymouth
Exeter to Teignmouth
Portsmouth to Bristol
Portsmouth to Brighton
Bristol to Cardiff
Bristol to Weymouth

Etc. ....

Herritage lines:- Somerset, Mid Hants, Swanage ....

As usual I've added land mass to the south / moved the continent a bit closer.
... And added the EU (Europe) and ROW (Rest of World) as destinations in case you want to play with ships
.... Also the USA is sitting in the Bristol channel for much the same reason.

Hi Really love playing this map as it has all the smaller villages and towns near where I live in Sunny Bognor Regis. Hoping you can do the same for TF2. Thanks for all your effort and time. This is a great map. Thanks,

Turns out you can't 'just' port the map - so basically I have to do it again for TPF2.

Hi Eng Exzhul - I wasn't one of the lucky ones to get advanced copy of TF2 but yes as soon as I have it I intend to port maps and mods across.

Getting all the towns in:-
Take a screenshot from google maps or similar of the same area - use GIMP to scale it to match the height map. Then use http://glatar.hu/tpf/TPFME-Lite.html import the googlemaps clip not the heightmap. Change the display size in the settings to something a bit bigger than default (Don't change this once you've placed some towns or they move!) . Now just create a town where each town is.
Once you're done you can export the towns and put the file in your map mod with the original height map.

Big question to ask but could you make this for transport fever 2 by any chance? The only thing I don't like is its way to hilly in a lot of places for the scale, I did use your heightmap to make a completely flat version for personal use, so if you did make it for TPF2 could you do a flat version, that way I can get the railway lines to actually meet where they need to with out pulling my hair out. But to be fair 2 looks to fix a lot of the terrain problems we have in game for 1.

One other question how in the hell do you get all the towns on the map??

Loving the map mate ., good job. If the fancy ever takes you , Would you consider doing a version of this but just covering the southampton to brighton width and IOW up as far as Guildford but on the same size map . So sad people like me can re-make the line that ran past my back door for 17 years

Hi jesuskitus
Es un mapa grande usted necesita de modo experimental en el archivo de configuración de juego

/steam/userdata/<Your Steam ID>/446800/local

Editar el archivo: settings.lua (Notepad or Notepad++)

experimentalMapSizes = false > Para > experimentalMapSizes = true

Guarde el archivo

A mi no me deja leer el mapa, me da error de demasiados pixeles. Alguna ayuda por favor?

275 towns - if I've only made one spelling mistake - I'll count that as a win :)
