Random Street Settings

I am currently working on a map of a large city for my roleplaying campaign, and I've been making extensive use of the random street command to ensure particular districts are consistent with each other.

I was using the 'Street W Current Settings' choice in the 'Random Streets Options' dialogue when I suddenly suffered a crash. No drama, I'd saved the file only a few minutes earlier.

But when I reloaded, and tried to place another random street, the buildings suddenly came up purple, rather than the brown I'd be working with - in essence, the settings I was using were lost.

I've placed close to 1000 buildings so far with these settings. I would really like to get them back, but I've no idea how to. I've tried listing info on one of the buildings which gave me the colour settings I wanted, but I had cross hatching on the old buildings that is now lost and I've no idea if the details of that are even in List Info, or what I should be looking for to find the settings.

Any guidance from anybody as to if it is possible to work out what settings I was using - specifically for roof fill, I can probably work out the rest - and how to do it if it is possible?

    Right-click the House button and look for the correct house setting in the list there. Can you find it? If you set it to be the current setting, your street command should be using it again.

    If you can't locate the house setting, contact us via tech support (on your registration page). I'm sure we can figure it out somehow.

  • Thanks, but I eventually worked out the settings through trial and error. The house setting does not survive this type of crash - it's happened a couple of times since, although the street settings do survive.
