I'm interested - tell me more...

[FlyHigh 181]

Hey everyone!! its nice to see that the project isnt dead after all... If you're recruting some new team members, I would like to join... I don't know how to MOD or BAT but if someone has the time to teach me i'll be more than happy just PM me with an ansewr or something...

Au Revoir

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

We are very short of MODers. There must be an archive for TWrecks's MODing school.

[AsianEvolusioner 18]

hahaha..... sounds interesting..... i can BAT and LOTting.... i'm specialist in makin fictional/futuristic building.....so, if you want...., you may take me in...... (i've blank knowledge about Moding)

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

Can you BAT some Asian-SciFi that currently nobody other than me BAT? I wanna see some more!

[AsianEvolusioner 18]

ha? sorry? what do you mean? i didnt get what you mean. i should BAT more?

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

Yeah, of course, keep on BATing.

Other than me, nobody BATs "Asian SciFi" buildings, like my Hong Wang Akamanji, Velacosma Associates and Niihama Semei Epica.

[AsianEvolusioner 18]

okay roger that..... keep on BATting asian BAT!!!

[JakeMD 107]

I am not in the team, but i strongly recommend that you keep going on the project. I would love to see

what simmars is all about. From what i have seen so far, it looks like its going to be a good game.

[mightygoose 92]

as the FBP is getting back up to speed im sure you could relot some of our industrial lots when we release them, also stuff like

our spaceport.... etc

[AndisArt 2,068]

That sounds great, what is the FBP? Where can I find these BATs? Thanks.

[mightygoose 92]

well currently we have just entered our production phase on the project after 12 months of brainstorming, researching and planning. now with the developement of the CAM over at sc4devotion it means that buildings with capacities up to 40-50k jobs will be able to grow, without dilapidation. i am not trying to steal simmars thunder but maybe some of your guys could help us with our project. i dont mean to sound rude but maybe we can sort something out.

[-eller_of_de@th 0]

Ill help just as soon as i figure out BAT

[RobAstor 0]

Of course, I'd like to see the project go on. Some of the work from before was imaginative. Unfortunately, I don't know how to create buildings and transportation and such. So, I did a ton of music.

Messages moved from "Life and Death of SimMars" to Open Discussion, thanks.

[JakeMD 107]

I saw in the june edition of game informer (may only be in USA) that simmars was already created and didn't make the cut.  It was not even advertized.  although, a couple were in some of maxis's other games.  Has any one heard of this too?

[MrCinatit 30]

Yes, Sim Mars was indeed a game which was going to be produced by Maxis many years ago - more can be read here

I think this one will be better, though.

[AndisArt 2,068]

Moved to Open Discuission thread. 

Please post stuff like this in the Open Discussion thread only to keep for forum clear, thank you!

[simukate 0]

I'm wondering, can anyone help with this project? Also, i'm wondering how to create/modify vehicles, people etc.

[AndisArt 2,068]

Yes, anyone can help out, this is an open community project. Please have a look at the "How to contribute" Thread in the SimMars Workshop forum for information.

Personally I don't know how to create or modify vehicles, there is a whole forum for this ("Automata Modding") in the Custom Content forum. I don't think people animations can be created/modified.

Thanks

Hello,

I just wanted to say that SimMars is a great modd. So great in fact that I would like you to put it on our website: www.sc4place.co.nr

You have to become a member first, but we would really like for it to be on the PEX (that's what we call our exchange)

I have the same username on that site, just to let you know if you need any help.

Thanks Andisart,

zelda_freak42

[zelda_freak42 0]

Sorry for double posting, but it's been almost a month, and I still don't have an answer.

It's alright if you say no, we understand. We would just like an answer.

[borntoboogie 15]

This is probably one for Andisart to comment on as the most senior member of SimMars project (i think!) but as far as I can see theres no problem, I'll look into uploading it later today and I'll PM andisart

.

[Random_82 3]

Probably not the first to say... but VERY awsome bringing back the Plymouth Arco. Great idea, i love it! Thanks to whoever though of that, and of course whoever did it, wow, thank you

[collgab 10]

Is there anyway to make the mods for normal SC4 and buildings work in Sim Mars Beta 2...i tried and i cannot get it to work...?

[AndisArt 2,068]

@Random_82: that goes to Prepo, he made it love it too! maybe we'll get some more arcos

@collgab: that really depends on which mod it is, some will interfer with SimMars mods, some not. Since we don't have the time to test this, SimMars is recommended to be installed alone. But of course you can try out what works and what not

[Tuxman 0]

Hey, im new to this site and I LOVE simmars its awesome.... accecpt one thing... I downloaded the simmars and installed it... but it didnt come with the materials one needs to make a map of a place on mars... and Im not sure what to do. I checked program files/maxis/simcity4/plugins and the picture of mars just doesnt show up... what should I do?

[borntoboogie 15]

if you want to create landscapes the best thing you can do is download the sc4 terraformer ( https://www.simtropolis.com/modding/index.cfm?p=details&id=391)

all of the martian terrains are included in the installer, though you may find there are some issues if you are running on vista...

try opening your sim city game and creating a new landscape.  It should look all martian.  As far as i'm aware the default regions will not change to martian

if you need any more help you can PM me
