This was super helpful! I really want to make one of the St Pete / Tampa bay area - but that website's map doesn't allow for any type of scaling, so i cant get the whole area I want. could you do another video on some of the options on that website and how to use them to get better results?

This is very different from CS1 map making and I havent explored the options but I think by raising the numbers on the settings before you export it will give finer detail. Thanks!

I've been trying to do one of the same area. It is difficult, you have to play with the settings and change the elevation scale down to 100. I put stream depth at 20m, which is way too much, but it helps mark them on the map. In the map editor, you'll also have to take the height settings down to 200-500 scale. 200 is probably more accurate, but 400-500 makes it easier for water. I'm still trying to find the right balance.

I keep trying to download the map image but it just keeps spinning. I put in an access token too, how do I fix it?

Wait, your connection might be slow, it could take 10 minutes or more. Mine takes 2 with fiber optic internet.

there is a line going trough the middle of my heightmap, the elevation makes a proper wall followed by a deep canyon at the exact middle line of the map, ruining it completely, how can I fix this?

@oldbore

I think you need to lower the elevation height, under Map. It starts as 4096, lower it to 2000 and see how that looks.

hey, i need some help. iv been following your totorial and everything works fine, but i do have one problem. The hightmap you use is wrong scale then it would be in IRL. The CS2 map is 14.330 km, but in the website you use it is put at 57.344 km. Meaning when you load the hightmap in the map editor its way downscaled then it is IRL. I want to change the gridsize from 57.344 km to 14.330 km, but its not possible while using the CS2 temple. So i tried switching to CS1 mode instead and there i could change the gridsize to 14.330 km. But when i try to import the heightmap in the map editor it just says: The heightmap must be a 4096x4096 greyscale image with 16 bit channel depth What do i do? (I want to recreate the Swedish city of Norrköping)

@oldbore

2 ай бұрын

Wow good question, you cannot use the CS1 heightmap in CS2. You might try changing back to CS2 then changing the other settings. Try changing the elevation scale in settings. And you might try reaching out to the guy who made the website on Github. But I think it is all set to do what it can, especially since you can download streets and satelitte imagery. Thanks
