About This File

FANTA1990 Presents:

 

A dramatic cosmetic enhancement for every city with growable lots. Expanding on an earlier mod by srainy, this particular mod pushes realism to the limit with the most intricate, highest resolution construction cranes available yet. Every aspect from the counterweight to the trolley motor and the hook block is visible in painstaking detail all the way to zoom 6. At least three distinct variations and colors will randomly replace the default crane that normally appears during the construction of a multistory lot. The vast majority of users will not observe any affect on the game's performance. However, even the software version will make you do a triple take. The proven designs originated in Emergency 4 (aka 911) and serve absolutely no practical purpose in the game. UDI and Night Lights don't apply and there are zero dependencies. Any mayor can instantly achieve a substantial boost in realism with minimal effort by installing one of the following two files inside this download:

 

Emergency4 Construction Tower Crane.dat - Uses HD textures, but requires Hardware Acceleration to avoid visual defects.
Emergency4 Construction Tower Crane-256.dat - May be used with Software Acceleration.

Fanta has taken considerable measures to make his site accessible to English speaking users. However, I encourage you to exploit the automatic translation features available in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, or one of many Add-ons for Internet Explorer. Mandatory registration will unlock Fanta's downloads and all other custom content on SimCity China. One login prompt and two verification screens may seem excessive, but are well worth it.

 

Since Fanta spends considerable time manufacturing custom mods, he specifically requested my assistance publishing his work to the mainstream English speaking audience. All credit and responsibility for this download lies solely with Fanta Soda. He will personally read and perhaps respond to any praise, feedback, criticism, or suggestions to this post. More impressive works from FANTA1990 will follow.

These look like the ones I've downloaded before, but the bookmark I had for the former doesn't seem to work anymore, so is this just a repost? Or has there been a change from the other ones?

This is Fanta's second such mod originally posted to his website on 10/30/2013. it succeeded an earlier version from 11/24/2012. Some of his mods were removed from the STEX for reasons I don't clearly understand. So it sounds like you could be referring to the first version that was later removed. If so, this download is an upgrade to what you currently have. I didn't realize that one made it here to the STEX. I updated the version number and change log to reflect this.

Some uploads got lost in a Simtropolis update for purely technical reasons, and I remember that there used to be a brief period when everybody could delete STEX items permanently due to some technical glitch that took a while to discover and fix. It may be that FANTA's mods fell victim to such a problem. I don't know for sure, though.

The old upload was broken, insta CTD. Don't worry about those.
