Cities has updated the way they package map files now, if you're trying to load a vanilla map, here's a very useful comment that will help you do it with the new file structure! @SQSNSQ • 2 days ago (edited) This is simple ZIP file, renamed to COK. Copy the .COK file to your map editor maps folder (as shown in the video), rename it from COK to ZIP and extract all the map files. I guess, in some update they decided to optimize disk space and packed all maps into packages, instead of having them in a bunch of separate files.

@flameblazer0094 7 месяцев назад

did they also change where to find the map editor maps folder as for me when i go users>me>locallow>collossalorder>cs2 theres no maps folder like in your video. Do you know how to fix this?

@ChubbyPandaGGM 7 месяцев назад

It doesn't load by default. You can either make it yourself or just save a blank map in the editor and it should be there.

@ambo1245 6 месяцев назад

What does renaming it to a ZIP mean? The closest thing I did was send it to a compressed zip folder

@ItsuV2 3 месяца назад

Nothing comes up when i search for LOAD_GAME,{})}),!c&&, can i only search for it on windows 11 or have they changed the code?

@mrsverge 9 месяцев назад

If you don't want to enable hidden files, hit windows key and type %appdata%. It will let you open the folder.

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

Great tip!

@Blue_Monkey 9 месяцев назад

This is how you do it. Additionally, if you edit critical game files, you always make a backup of them, in case something goes wrong! It's easy to do: Copy/paste the same file into the same location, and it will automatically add " - copy" in the file name.

@UnawareBlaire 9 месяцев назад

Instead of editing the file, you can just enable developer mode in the launch options by adding "-developerMode" and inside the UI Builder tab, under menu, there is a "Start Editor" button

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

Oh neat tip! Thank you, didn't know that

@corvettecoles 9 месяцев назад

any idea how to use the editor on like an existing save? I broke my city by resetting the water sources and they're too high :(

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

Sorry I don't think that's possible. Did you have autosaves before you messed with it?

@apath4908 9 месяцев назад

Whats that UI Builder tab?

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

@@apath4908 It'll be in the Developer mode options, once you've enabled Dev Mode and launched the game, hit "End" on your keyboard and it should bring up a menu - the builder menu should be a tab within that. Here's a video on how to enable dev mode if you don't know already. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nY7s6cwo60U.html

Finally, a tutorial that does not use windows 4 and is not complicated

@DENTALplan2002 9 месяцев назад

QUICKER AND EASIER WAY FOR DEV MODE USERS!: Press tab (once in dev mode), go to "ui bindings", scroll down to "menu" and open it, at the bottom of the "menu" tab is the button to start the editor called "start editor". simples

@ben0329 9 месяцев назад

Just shows that hopefully we’re not too far away from having a proper real ease version of this if it’s sitting there in some capacity already

!!HELP!! When i go to city skylines II in user files it doesnt have a "maps" folder

@AzamarSmith 9 месяцев назад

The maps folder isn't in the main game directory. It's in the ThisPC>Windows(C:) (or whatever your computer uses as it's main OS installation location>Users>whatever your username is>app data(if you can't see it Google how to show hidden files)>local low( not local)>colossal order>cities skylines II> maps.

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

For me, saving the blank map in the editor as a test map fixed this.

@catierobin346 8 месяцев назад

Hey there Panada Man :) First, THANK YOU for the amazing content you provide

@ChubbyPandaGGM 8 месяцев назад

I think they updated how the vanilla maps are packaged in a recent update. I haven't tried to make custom maps since then, see if just copying that file works, I have a feeling it might! And thanks for your kind words too!

@smashinbedrock4903 9 месяцев назад

I don't have access to the San Francisco map, but I do see the files for it in "Maps~", so this might also work as a means for someone to play on the two pre-order only maps.

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

Oh that's interesting! I'm sure they'll be released as save games at some point too if they haven't been already!

Can you please also make a tutorial on the MOOB mod? The one that provides custom heightmap functionality? How to install and use it?

@ChubbyPandaGGM 8 месяцев назад

In its current state I won't be unfortunately. The water mechanic isn't in a good place and you can't edit outside the bounds of the playable area. Once it's in a place where I'd be personally happy to make maps with it I might though!

@humann_10 8 месяцев назад

I have a question, how are you supposed to get the water source?

@ChubbyPandaGGM 8 месяцев назад

I'm not going to be using the editor much, but you need to add them via the water tab in the top left - then move them with coordinates and the menu's. I'm really not the best person to ask sorry. Try the discord modding community, they might be able to help!

@FoscaAmateurBuilder 8 месяцев назад

Hi great video, I used MOOB for unlocking the editor and I load a heightmap (you need a 4096x4096 16bits file) but I can"t figure how I can add a water source, I don't know if you already did it ?, I use water menu but nothing happened and I found an asset called "water source" but it's mostly the same

@HelloRavage 8 месяцев назад

Hi I have a really Imortant question... How can I diable dev mode because I literally enabled it and whenever i load into my saves it always crashes so how can i disable? (please respond)

@ChubbyPandaGGM 8 месяцев назад

Dev mode or the editor? Either way you should be able to just do the opposite, put that code back. If that doesn't work you can try deleting the file you modified and validating the game files through steam. Just backup your saves and stuff first

Argh! No matter what, it won't load. And what about the most important part of a custom map--the heightmap?

@ChubbyPandaGGM 7 месяцев назад

Heightmaps weren't working when I made this video unfortunately! And in terms of activating the editor, the new easiest way is to install the MOOB mod through the thunderstore. Good luck!

@cmd062 9 месяцев назад

@ChubbyPanda is it possible to edit a saved game in the editor for a city I have already started? I just want to add fertile land to surround my city in countryside farmland.

@ChubbyPandaGGM 9 месяцев назад

I don't think it's possible to use the editor for this, but I believe there might be an option in the developer mode menu to add terrain, I think I saw something about this the other day, try doing a quick google.
