[lucid blaze]

Ive been trying to make a height map of my small town but i run into the issue that i cant find a gernerator that accuretly maps the rivers and coasts

You want to make a region that resembles a real place? Use heightmaps!

1. Go to https://tangrams.github.io/heightmapper/ and find your wanted location.
2. Make sure that the colors are right. Black will become water and white will be hills.
3. Take a screenshot and change the name (example.jpg).
4. Put the image in your TheoTown folder, not in the subfolders.
5. Go to the region generator and and type in the image name (example.jpg).
6. Enjoy your new custom region!

Have you tried this?

[lucid blaze]

no, not yet, ill check it out

oh wait, nvm

yeah i tried this one

i dont think my pc can handle it cause it doesnt fully render the area

[zenith kite]

You just take a screenshot of it

Don't ask it to render

[lucid blaze]

ah, aight

yeah i cant get to work, thanks anyways tho

[zenith kite]

What are you struggling with?

[lucid blaze]

it proably wouldnt have worked anyways since its a southern coastal citym not a straight road in it

[lucid blaze]

the tool wont load

[zenith kite]

Wdym?

[lucid blaze]

it has like 2 tiles rednered so i can screenshot then the rest is white

[zenith kite]

Try reloading the program

[lucid blaze]

idfk anymore

[zenith kite]

That's weird.

[lucid blaze]

🤷‍♂️

but like i said

as fun as it would be

it prolly wouldnt work since its a coastal town

no straight roads

[zenith kite]

Do other areas work?

[lucid blaze]

no, its mostly the same all over

[zenith kite]

It shouldn't do that

Set your render multiplyer to two?

[lucid blaze]

it was like that at the beggining, i tried on 1 so it didnt have as much to render but no dice

[zenith kite]

It's working fine for me
