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 :)

OK, I was going to take the plunge, and try this map.... BUT horror.... I am going to show my Nerdiness now.... There are NO Southern Steam trains available. I can't possibly do this map with just the hated GWR... and NO Merchant Navy 4-6-2. And no Urie's or Schools class oh the horror.!
juliejayne Apr 12, 2019 @ 12:42pm 
Yes after watching GrandT I think that you are correct, Now if only someone had modded Southern Railways trains... I would be unable to resist. Lol.

Hi JulieJayne -.... I think if you bulldoze every last building in a town its gone forever
juliejayne Apr 8, 2019 @ 5:35am 
Mad Hatter... but if you bulldoze the town the Town marker stays doesn't it? in which case the town would revive as the population increases... Or am I wrong?

Eyyy a map with my home town of andover in it :D nice work.
Mad Hatter  [author] Apr 7, 2019 @ 8:59am 
Hi JulieJayne - yes the towns are close together - I couldn't make the map any 'bigger' - so it does make things a bit tight. If you don't want a town then just bulldoze it. I created them map so that I could get a lot of services running. I tend to use small stations - max length 160 - So that I can squeeze them in.

Been using this for my most recent save, I must say, it's a really nice map to play. Good work you utter madlad. :highlvl::energysword:
juliejayne Apr 6, 2019 @ 7:37am 
Looks great, but with so many towns so close together, stations will back into one another. Is it not possible to have less towns so that you can still get a decent piece of track in between.
