Editor background height

[taoroot]

Hello;)

I'm starting to create a map in ETS2 editor and wonder whether somebody much more experienced can help me, please:) I know how to insert a background map in editor, but the problem is with perspective, when modeling. The default height of background is -15m. When creating road, for example at 350m, background is so far away that I can't use it as a blueprint. I was searching forums and also looking for it in Google, but was not able to find any way to adjust the background height in editor. Is there some command in editor_data.sii, for example or directly in editor to adjust the height?:)

Thank you very much for your time and valuable knowledge:)

Regards,
Peter

1:1 Scale map?!
Sorry, no idea how to adjust the height of the background map.

Never tried it, but my guess is change the scale in the editor settings.

Thank you for the replies,

Yes, the map is 1:1 scale. Currently, I've been creating road at -14.7, and then adjusting the elevation to correct value, but it takes more time.

I think you just need the background map position in editor_data.sii. I think the second co-ordinate in there is the height (if I recall correctly. I don't have access to ETS2 right now).

Hi MandelSoft,

Thank you for the information, appreciate it. I've already played with the map_import_offset, trying separately all three numbers, but it did not work for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?:)

Create roads at -15 m and jump them to correct height using node properties
If you mess around with the background map you need to restart game between config changes

Thank you, this is exactly what I was doing for a few days, actually the best height for me is -14.70, since at -15 road can sometimes be under the background;) But it takes more time to adjust the height afterwards;)
