Thread: TYP files collection

The more interesting typ files are the ones that are modifyed in order to improve readabilty in different situations. The ones supplied with most maps are of course a starting point for modifyed files but it can be a long way to go until you get it the way you want it.

Here are files made for improved readability [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] , all cred goes to HMR !

There is a readme.txt supplied that gives the key to which file is for which map.
The files are made for improved readability primarily for MC off road use as said in the readme. Very good starting points for your personal customization.
Remember that the typ file must have the correct map id! Often it is possible to use a typ file for another similar map but then the map id must be changed to match with the target map.

I have one question connected to the CNEU maps; the typ file supplied with the maps are huge, 6MB, and can not be opened with the typ handling tools as far as I know. Are there any ways to extract info from the original typ file for modding? Of course you can use the files supplied in the archive above as starting points (which I do) but just curious.

The TYP file for CNEU2014.1 does not contain the types of polygons, polylines and standard POIs! There are only Extra POIs that have commercial icons.
Click on any Extra POI type in the List and then you can view and edit these types ...
