What's the trick to getting this to work with the console for region creation using the Steam version of the game?

Tried both of these and it's still generating random terrain,using the flat 32x32 pixel heightmap image at the bottom of the first post.
cr:{name:"Test",seed:"flat.png",size:16,maps:[0,0,16]}
cr:{name:"Test",seed:"flat.png",terrain:true,size:16,maps:[0,0,16]}

Also tried both of these mentioned further down on the first page.
cr:{name:"Test",bmp:"flat.png",size:16,maps:[0,0,16]}
cr:{name:"Test",bmp:"flat.png",terrain:true,size:16,maps:[0,0,16]}

Just because some other game has also that feature, it doesn't mean they just copied from the other game

Hi!
To somewhat keep proportions right, when using heightmap, if heightmap was taken from 5 square km land, what would be the closest size of city?/region? i should be going for?

If someone does want a map of a region bigger than 60km:
https://heightmap.skydark.pl/
Just click on "i" and do not use the size sliders to resize the map size but type in the Map size, than hit download png buton!

Or even better this one!

Any updates on getting this to work for a region?

Heightmap loads fine when creating a single city

But not when creating a region, following the syntax in the first post, and the alterations I posted trying 3 years ago

Is there a way you can open land that you have excluded from your region?

I understand that you are trying to generate a city or a region from a heightmap, but you are running into issues, particularly with low-altitude areas that are often flooded.

Have you tried adjusting the contrast or brightness of your heightmap before importing it?
