Populating maps ?? - CzechTexan - 29.08.2009
What are your methods for populating maps with buildings?
Is auto-pop a good and easy program to use?
What about copy/paste?
I'm looking for an easy way to do this that is not too difficult to understand.

What amazes me is the Canonuk
Channel cities. They are big but no major FPS losses. I would like to know if he uses Autopop...You can also "steel" from other maps yoo with copy/ paste if acrors.static is smaller than 650kb. If i see, say nice harbour, i just copy that and paste it to my map. Like this:
In Unlocked FMB open the source map. Find the buildings that you want to copy, just copy and then open your own map and paste. Helps a lot and saves time too!
Hope that this helps!

Yes, that helps. It's good to know other people's methods. I have kevinp's tutorial on how to copy/paste but have not tried that yet. Will do it though.

Could you please point out where that tutorial is? I'd be interested to have a look.

It's in KevinP's map making tutorial version 2. It's at the end of the "Textures" tutorial about copying/pasting airfields.

Kapteeni,
Would you mind sharing your templates of villages, city blocks and factories?
Actually, only if they look "Russian" as I'm doing this for the Caucasus map.
I was thinking about making templates myself but if it's already done...why not borrow?
