Building & Developing

First thing you want to do is make sure you have .NET Framework installed (you probably will), then you will need to pull down the repository and it's submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Killeroo/SC4Cartographer.git

Now if you open up SC4Cartographer.sln in Visual Studio 2017 community or higher you are good to go!

If you want to modify any of the UI code or map generation code you can find it in the SC4Cartographer project (it will be a bit messy).

SC4Cartographer uses another library I made called SC4Parser for parsing and loading data from SimCity 4 savegames, so if you want to use or modify any of that functionality you can find it here.

Thanks

  • Special Thanks to XCity for helping test and who's cities a lot of the example maps were created from.
  • SC4 Encyclopedia, without the excellent documentation on this site none of this would be possible.
