Overlay assets from the game on the map #4

Open BrokVid opened 6 months ago

BrokVid commented 6 months ago

Add the ability to place on top of the grid some elements from the game in real scale.

This would be useful for finding the right scale.

What elements could be added:

  1. road elements (2, 4, 6 lanes, highways, interchanges)
  2. Buildings (small, medium, large)
  3. Station and airport

How I envision it:

  1. Selecting the map scale
  2. Arrange the grid
  3. I use the side menu to select what to overlay on top of the map
  4. I can move or delete an already placed object or all of them
  5. By looking at the dimensions I can see if the scale is suitable or not
  6. Adjust it

I'm using Mapbox GL JS to display the map, but it requires adjusting core parts of the display process, which I think is time consuming.

Hello,

Regarding the creation of heightmaps for Cities: Skylines 2 (CS2), what is the basis for recommending a minimum map size of 28.672 km? According to the information provided on Paradox Interactive’s website, the playable area in CS2 is 159 km², which corresponds to 12.609 km x 12.609 km.

Anyway, thank you for your work. Your website is pleasant to use and should greatly facilitate map creation in CS2. Thank you very much, and best wishes!

I'm sure you can do it =) Considering the life cycle of the previous Cities Skylines part - there is a lot of time to complete it

In CS2, the map size including non-buildable areas is 57.344km square, and if you want a real-scale heightmap, you should use that size. However, if you want to use a more enlarged area or finely adjust the scale, you can set a size smaller than the default size.

Please check the details here.
