Timbuktu Too (Complete Region) 1.0.3

So the names have something to do with the tutorial scripts, regardless of region?

Yes, in a way.

First is the Lua script in 0xFF7D81E7. That is the only Lua which is loaded at the Region level of the game. It sets up the name for the Default Region as well as creating the Tutorial Registry hierarchy. (It is also re-called when loading a city tile.)

Also, when entering a city tile, all the System Level Lua is run followed by the Game Level scripts. Of interest here is 0xFF263B45 which builds all of the tutorial data structures. I believe the following snippet of the code is what marries the specific tutorials to the city tile names:

--Getting Started
tutorial_registry : add_tutorial(hex2dec('abfad020'), 0, 'timbuktu')
   
--Terraforming
tutorial_registry : add_tutorial(hex2dec('ea5d6dc8'), 1, 'timbuktu')

--Making Money
tutorial_registry : add_tutorial(hex2dec('0bfdb71b'), 2, 'timbuktu')

--Big City
tutorial_registry : add_tutorial(hex2dec('cc02d3a3'), 3, 'timbuktu')

--What's New City
tutorial_registry : add_tutorial(hex2dec('2c12d0e9'), 4, 'timbuktu')

^ The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, & 4 are for the sequence of the tutorials.

So, by renaming those three city tiles via the whererufrom cheat code after I imported them, that would alter their GUIDs and break the connection to the tutorial scripts.

At least that's my best guess why it worked to disassociate them.

I see... so there's a LUA code that runs if the city has a certain display name, though AFAICT this would only happen if that tutorial hadn't already been done...

Those Lua scripts run regardless of the city or region. Then it's only in effect if the city tile matches the tutorial registry, but all the code is still in memory. (I've personally set a toggle flag in mine to prevent that, but it's more complex because CB and I also removed all except the Lua code stubs from SimCity_1.dat and then wrote our own controller to load them from external files.)

Thank you so much for this map

I´m an half old guy and I´ve played sc4 since beginning (2004).I come back to the game from time to time.

I still prefer to play without too many mods and no NAM.

New York has always been The region for me and now also,-especially Timbuktu 4x4.

Thanks.

Now a little wish

Have you maked a 4x4 region out of that too?

-or would you??

I presume you are asking for the New York region to be all large tiles. I haven't done that, but I can prolly later today. I'll @Beep you when posting it so you'll know it's uploaded.

Edit: Now available here:

Oi,hey there.O my,your´r fast.

Thank you very much for this special Easter present 

-And glad you understood my request,...english is my second language

Can´t wait to unpack the region.

Look how my region has grown thanks to Cori & Cyclone!

Hello everyone! I'd like to ask for some help. As you can see from below census screenshot, I'm about to hit a population cap on my R$$. How do I solve this / bring the cap down? What is the most effective way to do so?

My SC4 game is running with CAM + NAM, and this is the XL city tile (below Bigger City + Big City).

Thank you.
