Does it require the entire 191mb d/l or is there an update link somewhere?

Looks like fresh install....

Cool. I'm always afraid of losing everything when we have those.

Me and my son are chilling out together tonight, can you let us know of any major additions?

Only looked through it, but the new building objects/city blocks are in there.

Sweet!

Unlike the old CT city blocks that are built directly onto an old, un-matching version of farmland (of all things), the new city blocks have a semi-transparent base which blends into the terrain texture underneath. Good thinking HTC!

OE is still broke for me...

Yeah OE still crashes on start up for me aswell.

I went ahead & reported it in the bugs forum.

I can open OE now and it opened ok last week too.

However, my OE related problem is, how we are supposed to edit the 1x1 mil terrain object tiles to match the 2x2 miles terrain type textures? Every terrain object tile is repeated 4 times over the texture in TE and in game, but in OE the texture loaded under the object tile only covers the tile area (=1x1 miles). Thus the texture gets shrinked 50% and is of no help for object placement.

Opps, I misunderstood your question, sorry.

The 2048 textures don't shrink to 1 mile, they stay at 2 miles square and the tile is repeated over the 4 quadrants, or said another way, the tile repeats 4 times over the area of the texture.

BlauK · « **Reply #13 on:** December 08, 2009, 02:08:09 AM »

Yup, Easy. In TE and in game they do, but OE only deals with them 1x1 miles object tiles. The terrain texture can be loaded under the object tile in OE, just for reference, but like you said the trexture is 2x2 miles. That is the conflict. In OE it (the reference texture) is shrunk to fit the 1x1 tile area regardless of its original size.

It just dawned on me what you're trying to do and why.

I think you'll need to break up the textures into 4 at 1024 x 1024, and use them as your layout map.
