[PAUSED] Nando CEV's 1:1 scale map based in northern Spain

#1 Post by Nando CEV » 01 Jul 2022 15:25

¡Hola, hola!, hello there everybody!, I'm Nando CEV, a content creator on YouTube that uploads daily videos about this game, ATS, and some other driving related ones.

Some months ago I decided to make a map, well, to be fair, I decided to learn how to make a map.
At first, I had 0 idea, I didn't even know how to start the map editor hehe..., but well, time has pass, I have already spent around 20 hours on the map editor (I know, it's nothing, but I'm starting to get used to the controls at least :O)
Now that I'm on holidays for quite a while, I have decided to start uploading videos to YouTube about me creating the map and I have also decided that it is time to create a new topic here, so more people get notified.
The first thing I want to share it's the playlist I'm creating on YouTube, the videos are time-lapses, therefore they might not be useful to learn, but I think it's quite cool to see how something starts and then how it finishes.

With that, out of the way, let's start talking about the map!:
  • The idea is quite simple, I want to represent the north of Spain, more precisely Cantabria, the region where I live. The "problem" is that it is not an easy task as it is a very montaneous region and I still don't know how to properly add them (but I will at some point I hope haha).
  • As the subject of the topic says, the map will be based on real life but fictional, with some places maybe being extremely close to real life (as long as I can) but others might be completely made up by me.
  • I will release the map for free for everybody, I might give beta versions or something similar to supporters, but it's not time, neither the place, to talk about it.
  • I'm going to upload some photos here as I keep progressing on the map, feel free to ask questions or even give me ideas
That will be all for now, happy trucking everyone!

Hi Nando! This is great! I'm also new to map modding and just learning the basic now. I was able to create my own basic map that is working ingame with jobs. I'm also trying to learn and research now on how I can change the map editor map scale to which scale I want. Right now I'm thinking to recreate my province also with 1:5 map scale. I saw a setting in map editor > tools > settings > Map scale. Now the confusing part for my end LOL! There's two configuration there Normal = 19 and City = 3.
From what I gather if I want to create a map scale of 1:5 I need to change the value or Normal from 19 to 5 (if i'm correct hopefully LOL) then I don't know what to do with City. should i change it also to synch with my map scale plan?

You also said that you are going to share your journey creating maps. Hoping you can also include how to properly setup the map scale and how to recreate the actual road distance from google map(actual location) to map editor.

I will follow this thread now and good luck to you brother! :)

Hello friend, sorry for answering so late..., I just didn't receive any notification, or I didn't notice it. Thanks for the kind words hehe.
About the scale, I have to say I have no idea, I know, or at least I think I know that, for a 1:1 scale map you change both, the normal and the city scale to 1:1 but for 1:5 no idea :P
About the recreation of roads from Google Maps into the map editor..., well, I'm sorry to say this but I don't use that method at all, some roads I create are totally fictional and some others are a mere "illusion" of what I use in my daily commutes, I might actually add some 1:1 aspect roads in the future, but for now..., everything is imaginary :)
Thanks a lot, good luck to you too! :P

I'm noticing it haha, just a simple and small road took me over 1 hour in total (I'm also pretty slow, but I'm learning haha) :P
