    I think a map done at 4096x4096 might slow down the game a bit. I've tried making one but every time I put it in the game a crash would happen.

    Actually i just create this account ob steam for a couple of days but i played cities xl and xxl for years.
    What you mean is i must use the account which bought the game to download this tool?
    Actually i do not buy this game on steam, yes it true, i came to a video game shop and buy a dvd which i can set up the game. It only 2 usd for a dvd.
    So what next?

    & to MrX
    This tool requires the base game CXXL on Steam in order to play.
    It runs through steam when you "play" just like CXXL does

    The Map Editor uses 4096x4096 maps. The final size of the file is around 13 Mb. It shouldn't affect performance.

    I expect this tool very much. I just began it.

    I have one problem. (Sorry, poor english...)

    I created heightmap by DCC(L3DT and World Creator).

    I imported this file to Cities XXL map editor.
    (The format is 8bit BMP,PNG,JPG etc.
    I cannot import r32 file. The cause is unclear.)

    But It's very very blocky like minecraft.

    I created patch file from these file, but the map is also blocky.

    I appreciate all your advise.

    How big is your resolution? For some reason the 3rd party map editor crashes when using 4096*4096. I use 512 just to see if it to see if it looks nice then I put it up to 2046*2046 for the final render.

    Thanks for all kindly replay.

    @XOUSTE,
    I validated it. But still crashes...

    @The Funky Monk,
    I am still the trial (ashamed)...
    The resolution is 512*512.
    The size of the file that exported "r32" format is only 1MB.
    I think this is problem.(That's strange...)
    I export same file by BMP,PNG. It's no problem.
    The procedure of export in "r32" is ...

    Thanks for all advice !!

    well,that's the problem! I think that 1mb r32 file is not a complete one. try using an r32 file outputed by an example world in WM.And don't forget,the resolution is 512*512 or 1024*1024
