About This File

Pipeline-Set - Basis-Version V2.2 (Fixxed Crash-Problem!)

With this set, you get the possibility of building your own pipeline through your map. Connect your raffineries or industrial areas with each other or make a connection with your seaport. The possibilities are huge and with your phantasy it's easy for you to find an application area.

The basis-set contains 18 tiles and can be found in the seaport-menu (i think it's the only menu, you can take it in).

Contents:

- 1x1 straight piece

- 1x3 straight piece

- 1x1 bend

- 2x2 bend

- 1x1 T-section

- 1x1 straight piece with valve

- 1x2 ending-piece

- 1x1 diagonal straight piece

- 1x1 diagonal straight-transition (left)

- 1x1 diagonal straight-transition (right)

- 1x1 overhanging straight piece (visual size: 1x3)

- 1x3 over-street-transition

- 1x3 over-road-transition

- 1x3 over-rail-transition

- 1x3 over-one-way-road-transition

- 1x3 over-pipeline-transition

- 1x4 over-avenue-transition

- 1x4 over-groundhighway-transition

 

All tiles don't habe monthly costs! The plopcost is between 10§ and 40§ and the cost for destroying are between 25§ and 100§! Next the pipeline doesn't make the air or the water dirty and doesn't create rubbish. That is indeed not very realistic, but you have to see: It's actually only something for your eyes, to make an industrial area more realistic-looking.

But: Be careful: The pipeline is extremely flammable! One spark an the pipeline burns. So: Always look for many firestations.

And the best of all: There are NO dependencies!!! Just download it and have fun.

 

Installation:

Just extract the folder into your pluginfolder (mainly under C:\documents and settings\USER\my documents\SimCity 4\plugins\) and you can find this set in the middle of the seaport-menu.

To delete this set, only delete this folder in your plugin folder.

 

! ! ! WARNING ! ! !

This set has got two different versions: One version is in German, the other version is in English.

If you want to download the English-version you have to go to my website and download it there! Here is the link!.

I hope you like my set an have fun.

Isn't this one the same as the one uploaded by madawac? Found here: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12085 Seeing it hs been modeled by StephenHerb and you are HerbSt I assume you are the same one?

@zwabberaar: you're right. In the past my nickname was StephHerb. Now I named me HerbSt. The old pipeline set was an earlier version of this and was a part of the InSimsArchitectTeam (ISAT). This team isn't alive anymore and so I go my own way now. I have updated the whole set an added new things to it. I tried to add as many new ideas as I could and this new version is the result.

As Simtropolis being a Enlish-speaking site, you should have uploaded the english version here.....not very logic to give us the German version, no? Nice set though.

These look really great, good job. I found however what looks like a render error on the diagonals at zoom 3, see this picture: http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/1589/pipelineerrorlw9.jpg Also just a small thing on the modding side. Despite the fact that they require no power, they still get a no power zot when not connected to a power source. If you removed the 'Power Consumed' Property from them altogether it would solve that. Only a small issue though.

@mrbisonm: well you're right. I know that ST is a English-speaking site, but I tell you in my description where you can download the English version. So, where is the problem? @alien_397: oh yeah.. that's correct. That are bad news for me. I spent so much time in this set and there are still many little problems... well I'm going to fix the set update it here, when these problems are history. Thank you for your hint.

@whity: I had to decide whether I take the original or the new textures. And if I had chosen the european textures, then everyone, who doesn't use it, whould be angry. So either or it is a compromise.

Nice set and great idea......nothing like making a pipe line I LIKE IT!!! Though I am wondering if you can make a build able water set or a bridge. My maps are all full of rivers and such a pipe line I can build over or under the water would be nice. A canal bridge set would also be awesome for the ones that have canals too. 10/10 for everything you already have. Hope to see a water and a canal set from you soon.

I've got some question to you: 1. Which set from which site did you download? Because there are a difference between this set on STEX and on my own site. Perhaps sth. got wrong by packing the file. 2. Does the game crashes when you plop a special tile, or crash it by plopping several different tiles? 3. Perhaps, but this would be the worst case, it is possible that my texture for the groundhighway is broken. So: make a backup of my set and try to delete the file "pipeline_set_textures.dat".

Hi HerbSt. I have downloaded the STEX file. I have not tried every lot but at least 3 different ones with the same result. Will delete the file you mentioned and see what happens. Thanks for replying.

HerbSt, no luck I'm afraid. Have downloaded the revised version but no luck. Still crashes the game when I plop any of the lots. Maybe a conflict with some of my other lots?. Thanks anyway
