There's a new way to start the Editor! You have to start the game executable with the argument -edit mapname!

i have start the game .
i have open the console and make it the '-edit europeguenninl .

00:01:06.839 : <ERROR> [cmd] '-edit europeguenninl' - unknown command

That's the old way to start the Editor! Now you should make a shortcut e.g. and in that shortcut add the argument -edit mapname!

How to change the opacity on map sector image?
So I have a better view on the map below...

Good morning, Veritas1983.

I also wondered if pressing the "A" key on the keyboard would have this option to hide the layer leaving only the background map. My difficulty in tracing the map of Rio de Janeiro with its streets, hill roads and slums stops at this problem. The scale is also 1: 1 and demands details. I fully understand your suggestion. I hope SCS is already studying a way to add this option in map view mode in the editor.

Greetings!

@Veritas1983 & @robertoantnes

You can't change the opacity as far as I know, but you can do this:

In editor_data.sii you can find a line that says "background_map_height: -[number]". It is negative because sector's name is set at height "0" I believe. You can change background_map_height to a positive value like "background_map_height: 0.2" and background map will be above sector's name and you can then see roads.

Keep in mind that the roads you map now also have to be above 0.2 in height, otherwise they will end up being below the background image

How come I've never seen that parameter? All I can see, both for ETS2 and ATS in editor_data.sii is:

Code: Select all

	bcg_size_x[]: 270000
	bcg_size_y[]: 208800
	bcg_offset_x[]: -1250
	bcg_offset_y[]: -4050

EDIT: Ah, I checked both ETS2 and ATS files now and that parameter is in ATS, BUT NOT in ETS2 editor_data.sii!!!!!
WHY? Can one use it in the ETS2 one in spite of that?
