MOOB is a "polyfill" type mod designed to enhance the usability of the Map Editor in Cities Skylines 2. It addresses key issues and fills in functionality gaps, providing an improved experience for map creation and editing.
(Thanks to CO's recent updates MOOB only now needs to be used for the editor switch enabling. The previous import/export features are now redundant.)
- Enabled Map Editor Option in Game: Unlocks the map editor within Cities Skylines 2, allowing direct access for map creation and editing.
- Improved Heightmap Import: Utilizes Windows OpenFileDialog for easier heightmap selection and import. (It was easier than using the games ImageAsset functionality)
- Heightmap Export to 16-bit RAW: Enables exporting heightmaps in the 16-bit RAW format for greater precision and compatibility.
- Import .PNG, .TIFF or .RAW images: 16-bit RAW is preferred but if you need to you can use PNG or TIFF formats.
- Automatically resize Cities Skylines 1 Heightmaps: If you import an 1081x1081 heightmap it will resize to an approximate 1:1ish scale to Cities Skylines 1.
- 8-bit to 16-bit channel conversion: If you import an 8-bit image it will convert it for you. It will run 10 passes of blurring to try to prevent terracing. (This is WIP and results may not be the best.)
MOOB will be getting new improvements in the near future, so the feature set will expand.
