Maybe a nice idea. Instead of using the simdolar sign, you can maybe replace it by another sign? You can create the idea of some SF-valuta? ( Or pay with energy? )

I downloaded this yesterday and then loaded it in my own region. I didn't like what it did to my cities so I switched back and obliterated my cities. When I started rebuilding, my city grass all turned white. Is there a patch available to fix this?

[TimeMaster 4]

No, Try Reinstalling. Remember to take out your plugins.

Hi, I was away from ST because of a game bonded greatly to this...Motherload Unlimited. Go to mlu.aceboard.com and check it out, and see if you could somehow incorporate this into Sim-Mars.

[TimeMaster 4]

RocketToink: Actually I play that game too, sometimes, just at Miniclip. It does have some cool textures, and maybe we could take the junk shop and mod and change it up a little and make it a I-M or I-D Building.

SimMars is totally awesome, I am a big SimCity gamer and I have all of the SimCity games. SimMars tops them all I still love the others but SimMars has a new gaming experience to me. This game will take SimCity into the 21st Century and I know the best is yet to come I reccomend that you download this cause the awe and surprises await in this game.

[IGGYMAN 101 1]

Sim Mars is perfect in supporting Sim City 4

[TimeMaster 4]

Both of you: Really? Hehehe... It isn't even done yet! I mean you will love it when it is done!

I am sad to say that I am going to resign myself from SimMars. The Holidays and other games such as Spore and Age of Empires are blocking my time at Simtropolis. I don't know If I'll ever forget this wonderful project. I may be back, but I might not.

Good-Bye.

TimeMaster

[AndisArt 2,068]

Sad to see you go, thanks for all your contributions and input. We'd be happy anytime to have you back! Good luck and much fun with your new adventures

[timcravey 169]

Really, Time -- Spore I could see; but Age of Empires?

You're probably just depressed from the holidays or the lower winter light levels.  Come back in

two weeks and maybe we'll talk about you leaving. M'kay?

But you know, just checking in every now and then and giving your opinion of what's going on is a big help. I've always appreciated your insight.

[TimeMaster 4]

Hi, I just had some extra time, so I came for a visit!

Timcravey: Do you mean you like Spore and think AOE is dumb, or you don't know what AOE is? And you know I can always help. . .

AndisArt: Your Welcome, but I'm not leaving forever!

i think that simmars beta 3 should have an elvolved transportaion systems, with all kinds, and to heve beautifull buildings and all those stuff and maybe domes for planting and a percurian plants

[autoitmaster 0]

andisart i need help, when i try to make the custom region with the Valis Kasei.jpg and the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R it says it is the wrong size and it needs to be 1025 x 1025.

is there any way you could help?? maybe make the final map avillable for download!?!?!?

[timcravey 169]

Sounds like you have the wrong size config.bmp. The Kasei region takes a 26x26 I think. It should've been in the download.

There are several other region maps on STEX that will fit the 1025x1025 format - look for Cydonia, Ares Valley, several others - search for Mars in the maps section. If there's a certain area you want to play, let me know and I'll make you a map. I'm not on my game computer right now or I'ld upload a config for you.

And let us know what you think about the game as you play through.

Daigandar - thank you for your input; we are doing just that.  Do you BAT?

[Blazerhawk 162]

If you are trying to load a 1025x1025 map, your config.bmp needs to be 16x16.

[timcravey 169]

Kasei region is 1601x897 - config is 25x14.

[autoitmaster 0]

thanks guys for the quick responses, and so far the game is AWESOME. as soon as i get thought typing i will check the stex. THX

[TimeMaster 4]

SimMars, at this date in time, now holds TimeMaster's first, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth posts. In honor of the great SimMars project, I have made my honorary millennium post here at SimMars. May SimMars prevail! And may my posting future will be great. Thanks for starting this, Andisart, and I will make my 10,000th post here, too. And sorry about my special "TimeMaster inactivity period." And as these final moments in the hundredths, pass, I say "To development, to the Future, TO SIMMARS!"

[Evillions 552]

Well thanks for that! Anycase, can you BAT?

[AndisArt 2,068]

Happy 1000th post in SimMars !

(can't take credit for starting SimMars though, that was the original SimMars team back in 2004 You can check the in-game credits for Beta 1 for the names)

[TimeMaster 4]

Ah, well thanks for being moderator then.

[speed12345 2]

i didn't really like the mod much even ways but we have our own opinions and i also got bored of the mod quickly.

Any thought given to expanding the terrain of SimMars to incorporate different planet and moon surfaces throughout the solar system? It would be fun to start up a colony in the moon system of Saturn or a floating research base in the atmosphere of venus. Maybe call it SimSpace or SimSolarSystem. I looked through this forum but I didn't see anything about this. I could have missed it or maybe someother group out their is already doing this. Just thought I would put it out their because as Robert Zubrin says, if humans don't continue to push forward with exploration we may very well go extinct.

I definately like all the buildings and things created that have been created in this area and I think they would look just as good on any planet surface. This idea popped in my head because in the CJ that I am currently working on Mars is already fully terraformed so the standard maxis stuff works fine. But my sims have bases, colonies, and resorts all throughout the solar system that saddly only exist in my head. I want to eventually get around to creating CJ of colonies on Phobos and Demos and that is where I plan on using this awesome SimMars stuff. The only problem is the surfaces texture is obviously quite red and it would be nice to have a darker moon surface.

[Evillions 552]

There one thing called. It's called; ILive and make your own textures! You download a moon terrain mod and you install it onto your plugins. Then if you're an experience modder, you use iLive to create your own textures. I recommend BAT your own buildings to make thing alot simipler.

Since everything's already realistic, how about using dollars ($), euros (

[PJ_pund 0]

Thanks Evillions. Im not an experienced modder yet. If I do get it going I would certainly use a lot of the buildings I have seen here. No need to reinvent the wheel, just the ground it rolls upon.

[bdswim 14]

Here's a SimMars userbar I made.

If you want it, copy and paste the following code into your signature.

>> Simtropolis has a 300x50 size limit on images in your signature. The following code is for a 300x19 userbar.

WARNING: In case you haven't read the rules, you can have only 1 image in your signature on Simtropolis. If you have another image in your sig, remove it first. Don't break the rules, it's not cool.

[AndisArt 2,068]

bdswim: I mentioned it already in the private Beta 3 thread, but here again just so everyone is aware:

the sig pic is larger than the allowed max. on ST. it's 350 pix wide atm, but allowed is a max of 300.

Can you upload a shorter version?

[OrangeDream 0]

I noticed that the many of the deluxe buildings had no maintenance costs, while the smaller versions did. Is this going to be fixed? Also, I have a copy of 3ds max 8 and was wondering what you wanted the mayor's mansion to look like (unless someone's already working on that). I was thinking of making a geodesic dome but you probably have a better idea.
