Old Bore
Приєднався 2 бер 2022
Welcome to the old bore's channel. Tutorials and Gameplay using mods. I have several series:
They combine 15 core concepts that form my building style.
1. Rail/road infrastructure first, before the population
2. Industry areas distant from the center forcing cargo to a central railyard
3. Cargo/passenger lines feeding and connecting smaller populations
4. Central train hub connects the entire map
5. Meticulous asset selection organized by tags and collections
6. Attention to tree and foliage placement
7. Plopping, not zoning
8. Higher levels of detail in small areas
9. Leaving large open spaces
10. Using fewer assets for improved game performance
11. Organically designed roads
12. Lower population for improved performance
13. Micro Industries - very small Industries DLC areas
14. Large loop (beltway) around the heart of the city
15. Custom Real Location Maps and Overlay of Streets for realism
Your comments are welcome. Thank you for watching!

I created the directory at C:\...\Heightmaps and put the PNGs in there. But in the game, when I click on "Import Heightmap" or "Import Worldmap" I have no maps shown. I am running Windows 11 - does that matter?
It not downloading the street or satellite map...
You could try making a MapBox account, as a last resort. OB
can you reupload the street map on the workshop ?
It is in a google link on Paradox Mods. OB
@@oldbore the street map link is dead
For some reason, the street map is exactly the same as the satellite map so I can't get a view of the streets only
You have to change them by the HotKey rotating the image.
I mean downloading the map :)
This should be a built in feature
Are you talking about CS1?
how do you make a rivere on a map that has terrain that isnt perfectly level? my map has a gradual decline of about 100 meters from end to end, which should allow for a river to flow down hill (as it does in the real life location its based on) but any river i make just floods everything downstream cause its lower in height
It requires a gradiant level, in other words one end is higher than the other. In the water tab on the heightmap website there are some things you can configure. But I haven't used them.
It won’t let me download the satilites or street
Make sure you have CS1 selected if for CS1
Bro thanks soooo much
No problem, glad you got something out of the video!
Struggling to download the street and satellite Image any ideas? how tried different browsers too
have the same problem since today's morning, previously worked perfectly fine. Probably the website issue, but who knows
@@kywelfr same, guess its a site issue.
You could try making a MapBox account, as a last resort. OB
Great beginnings of a swiss series! And happy new year!
Thanks and happy new year to you! OB
Happy New Year, OB.
And a Happy New to you!
Not working for cs1
Be sure to select CS1 in the config settings on the terraining website
General settings tab is completely blank for me on terraining. Any help guys?
Try an incognito or different browser. OB
heightmaps dont appear in game for me even after i have made the directory Heightmaps and put them in
You have to completely restart your steam and game. Exit to desktop. OB
@@oldbore hey thanks for replying, I have restarted both and also my PC still not appearing!

hi how r u Old Bore, im happy by your videos, ild to ask you for the Mod Name Yenyang Water Tools i cant find this one, can you help me with this one please?
mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/75613/Windows Called Water Features
Why is your download A GIMP PNG file? I use the png. download and doesn't work
Because I have GIMP installed on my computer, it is just a regular .png file eventhough it says GIMP. Change PNG to lowercase, see if that works.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for the video's. I have a question, ive added a map and it has sea covering a bit of the map. I can never get a full fill without flooding the land as it's very low so... Is there a way to raise the height of my terrain? Or, do I add multiple water sources to fill the sea? Thanks 🙏
In your map editor for CS2, change 4096 to something higher or just add river border or constant level sources. Merry Christmas! OB
Very useful guide, thanks
Glad it helped. Merry Christmas! OB
just started making maps yesterday and this guide has been invaluable, now my river actually has water all the way along!
Awesome, so glad it was helpful!
Nice
Super appreciate the comment! OB
Does this work for windows 10/ pc microsoft edition ?
I don't know why it shouldn't, if you can run CS2 it should.
How do you go negative terrain level? I can't figure it out when cutting rivers
get the target height from your lowest water point, in this case it was the lake. or make a deep part in it with shift terrain tool.
I dont have modssettings folder, so no overlays folder either, my game has been vanilla till this point, what do i do?
Make the directories yourself. The mod Image Overlay may not make it for you. OB
when i try and generate a heightmap there is no elevation difference, and it's not because the areas flat ive checked all the settings and theyre the same as the videos so im not sure what the problem is
Try changing the resolution from 4096 to higher
Hi! Could you send me the file of the grid for the geneva map please ? 😁
satellite-geneva.png drive.google.com/file/d/13n90cjZCQX9jBb4NrmuFAsVSHGuIMAM3/view?usp=sharing streets-geneva.png drive.google.com/file/d/19o-Ks5BtXCEt7Np5VzI4o_2lgKG3jXgO/view?usp=sharing
Is it possible to get a better quality of overlay pictures? The maximum I got is 2560x2560 but still not the best quality (mod can work up to 15000x15000)
You can make your own, it takes time and they will load into memory.
I could watch your videos only to vibe to your voice and background music. Will definitely try make my own map with the help of this series. Thanks!
Well you have a lot of videos to watch. Thanks!
nice one brother
Superappreciate it!
Very interesting to know how to do this.
Glad it helps, are you going to make a map?
Thanks for the tutorial 😊. Is it possible to adjust the initial depth of the water of the lake when you create the map in the browser? I did see a ‘water’ tab in the menu on the map website.
You will have to play around with the configuration in the water button on the settings. You can set the level there. OB
Mine only downloaded the height map and not the world map
Did you get an API key from MapTiler?
@@oldbore I have the same problem, and I did get the api
My problem is that where my sea water is, the terrain is just flat and the best water height in the editor is around 1. But it looks weird with the terrain not going deeper. Any ideas?
You can try raising your map to 4096 to higher in the editor. OB
@@oldbore That only makes each hill steeper unfortunately
Ive literally been trying to make a Manchester map this week - this is so helpful! Not sure why your rivers have come out so defined - my had lots of "bits" of river that I had to go around connecting up.
I have another video on cleaning up rivers coming out today! OB
i dont have an appdata folder
If you use a MAC it will be differente.
@@oldbore the appdata folder is hidden, try turning on hidden folders
when i import height map into game nothing happens
Your location may be flat, or you might have changed a configuration, make sure you have CS2 for your type.
@@oldbore its pretty hilly and i made sure its on cs2 to so it must be something i missed
@4skin-nq4gd same issue
What is the directory for satellite and streets view for cs1, is it also in the addons file?
I have a video for CS1, it will show you. OB
ua-cam.com/video/tp6c7kxMaC8/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
There is nothing on the site at the start just white and the grid what should i do?
Us a different browser or incognito browser i guess. OB
@oldbore K
I need some help placing water for my map of Longview/Kelso, WA I got it from a height map... the game will not let me level the terrain down further for a more pronounced riverbed (The Columbia River), making the water surrounding my buildable area, leaving an obvious square for the buildable area, water, and then the mountains in the buildable area/worldmap. Tips?
In your map editor change the 4096 to a higher number maybe 6000. That will raise the level of your terrain. OB
@@oldbore I did. It's at 9000, and the mountains look great, but the river is STILL super low. I got my height from ur last tutorial on terraining, instead of saying the minimum height is 9000 or smth, when I get the level terrain tool, it says the minimum height is 0, and it won't go below that.
@Ziiav747 Yo no way! I'm doing Vancouver right now hahah, anyway just waned to say im having odd stuff too, like random holes and such. Did you click the box for " use mapbox for heightmap source " ? I followed another vid that walked me through that process with Mapbox, you have to link a card but its a free service, i guess this was what we used to have to do . I have the Token so ill be trying that optional part.
@@villianvonbadguy I used the terraining yea
@Ziiav747 all ive been able to work out is that since we are unique and were at sea level , thats what were going to get for columbia river is sea level for the depth from the terrain sites. no matter what settings i change its doesnt change that fact, so all ive done is just some huge sea water sources for the columbia, and just let it be that.
for me when i load the worldmap the rivers disapeer what could i do?
I realiesed my hightmap is only the green area while the world map is all the tiles but when i use the hightmap in cs2 its over all tyles not only the center ones
mb i always klicked load hightmap and never load worldmap thx for tut realy great tut
See my second video on adding water sources. ua-cam.com/video/SERbkOKPqVk/v-deo.html
You cant or shouldnt build or modify the worldmap. Set river depth in water button
Water button on the terraining website
Great video! I'm totally new to this game, when importing the heightmap into the editor how do I adjust the water levels? Sorry if this is a silly question! I want to make my home town and am not sure how to get the bodies of water to fill with water.
Hey, I just put up video #02 adding water sources, ua-cam.com/video/SERbkOKPqVk/v-deo.html
Anyone having issues with inland water areas like lakes and rivers? Since the update to terrainning all my inland water is really deep and had jagged edges
I think you can change the deepness of the rivers and lakes in the terraining.ateliernonta.com/ website. Go to the water button under the left menu!
Change River Depth maybe
Set water levels on the water button on terraining website.
for people having problems with downloading the map image use a different web browser for me that fixed it
Thanks I appreciate the help
so much simpler than messing with micro dem and gis data
I have two more videos coming out soon.
Can you create a mapbox account without a creditcard?
You dont need Mapbox now.
whenever i try to use the image overlay both my streets and satellite images are just pink ! anyone know how to fix ??
Never heard this are they PNG's?
@@oldbore i got it to work after a game restart! thank you so much for everything man!!
How did u changed ur grass theme?
Yes I use a theme called Volchoria Revisited
i cant download the png file for some reason
apparently it doesn't work on google chrome. For me it worked using microsoft edge
@@feurzersame here, edge only works for some reason
API key acquired and inserted, check. MS Edge, check. Still can’t download PNG file… Not sure you guys are getting it to work. Edit: It worked after pressing “reset” in the settings of the terraining site
Be sure to let the icon spin, if your internet connection is low that could be a problem. Also try not changing any settings except the MapTiler API Key, you need that
@feurzer was the opposite for me, worked on chrome but not edge
Great tutorial! Thanks. ☺️
Glad to help! OB
Damn, and two weeks ago I created my mapbox account lol
Hahaha 😆
I think people complained
what do the water options do in the terraining website?
That is a good question, mappers understand this but you can try out stuff like river depth.
