this is the best space city i have seen

[Zelgadis 638]

Well, I must say that is a perfect place to hide a quartet of silver skyscrapers.

And that is definitely the best, sci-fi industrial spaceport I've ever seen.

Whoa, that looks so cool with the Aerotube Express. You've certainly pulled it off wonderfully. Makes it look like one big, big circuit board.

[football_fever 6]

SpecialEddie:  I love this ATEX.  There's only one person to look for for the best sci-fi BATs.

This guy right here in the next reply

2ch.net simplayer:  Oh man are the new pieces cool.  I may be redoing this area with the new pieces.  It even has a piece that goes underground!!!!!!!!!!    Whooooooah I bet you thought of me when you made that one.  You rock

football_fever:  ???  what?  You're freaking out.  Simma down naw

homeandaway:  Yeah, some of the older, more well established planets may look a little english, since England is an older, well established country.  I never really thought of it that way.

jacqulina:  Getting the snow mod in your plugin folder replacing the Olympic mod would be easy, but the only way I know how to get snow everywhere is to have the terrain raised to where it's all snow.  And that would ruin your stuff.  That's not pretty.

Leech10:  Big spaceport and getting bigger...

Schulmanator:  Party on, Wayne

homeandaway:  Not a very meaningful post.

Godzillaman:  Thanks a lot.  To see more/better space type cities, you should check out the Star League links in my sig.  There are some pretty amazing ones there too

zelgadis:  heh heh...I love the terms people use to describe things.  Sci-fi industrial spaceport is one of my new favorites haha

Shadow_Assassin:  Just wait until all 6 tiles are covered by spaceport.  That's going to look perrty

Ok, sorry for not updating in awhile.  I've been very busy.  This isn't even a real update.  I changed the rock texture from Green Igneous to Limestone - both by Pegasus.  I used the green igneous mod for more tropical places, and didn't change it for the mountain scene.  So here it is...the way it was meant to look

[jacqulina 162]

hi mike i see what you mean i think i will leave it lol too much hassle,excellent work my friend i love the effects,the pics are excellent too

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

wow! this looks like one of those sci-fi video game this kid in my classroom is always talking about! it looks so freaking cool, the waterfall with the sci-fi buildings, such great touches on that picture. looking forward to your next update!

[homeandaway 1]

that looks amazing doesnt? - i mean its so wow! - eager to see more, be safe ~alex~

[football_fever 6]

Does anyone know where I can get more palm trees? I have a couple types, but I need more. MORE!

I would show what I'm working on, but I'd rather save it until I put in some palm trees.  RLS has kept the updates from flowing

[Canterbury Kid 0]

Bliney you have a knack fro this i mean LOOK at that, that is something special, i have to say you are doing a grat job, your imagineation is off the scale!

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Suggestion: Use the Lot Editor from time to time to fix up those buildings so they fit better with your CJ. Just imagine how cool that 'mosque' building would look just on snow, without any sand around it?

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

SA is getting it right :-) "overwrite" LOTs are quite useful in this kind of stuff as you can just simply throw it into bin after done with it.

[jacqulina 162]

mike sweety type in the search tropical that might bring you some results for palms

[football_fever 6]

jacqulina:  PF looks fine the way it is.  Leave changing rock, water, and terrain mods  to me.  I have to have things overly complicated...

ilikehotdogsalot:  The pics you're seeing is still a work in progress too.  Like the rock and water mods, I'll be changing and updating things as I go.  The goal is for a perfect final product to appear in Crystal City.  You other Candy Creators guys show off a great final product.  I can't wait for YOUR next update...haha

homeandaway:  ~Be safe

Canterbury Kid:  Thank you for the compliments.  Sometimes my imagination gets me in trouble.  I have more ideas right now than the rest of my brain can handle, and I get too bored with the game when I sit down to work on it....man that sucks...

Shadow_Assassin:  I experimented with LE a little bit, but always got frustrated with it and put it down.  I finally learned how to use it, and my first edited lots will be in this update.  Now it's only a matter of time before I actually get to those snowy buildings.  Thanks for the advice

2ch.net simplayer:  I'm not too keen on the terminology, but you're saying I can edit the lot, plop it down and get rid of it - and it still looks the same in the game?  Thanks for making me get off my bum and learn LE

jacqulina:  Thanks Jack...I did, and it worked well.  Many palms - plus other goodies.

Sorry it's been so long since the last update, which wasn't even really an update...just an update of an earlier update....if that makes any sense.

Anyway, if you don't read Battlefront Zanapolis (shame on you) you're alone in not knowing that 2ch.net Simplayer worked hard on a new spaceport for his city.  Along with that came the talent of making new spaceport lots and goodies.  There were a few things missing from the pack that I had liked to see, and he told me to make them in Lot Editor.  And that's what I did.  I finally learned Lot Editor.

Here is the way it used to look with all the Sujian He cargo ships waiting to unload

And here it is now with the already emptied ships ready to load

Here is the loading area before with container stacks and SOMY's ports

And here it is now with the new container cranes by 2ch

Looks much better, right?  Replacing the "Earth" containers is a lot that I made with the actual boxes from the Sujian He

[Zelgadis 638]

Dang.... That spaceport is nothing short of amazing! And the shadows from the gantry looks impressive!

ISF

[fledder200 5]

Amazing Mike!!!

i realy love the spaceport!!!

does it provide the goods for Liaane the Suppermall Nation of the Future?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good!

[bartonn 0]

So footie_fever, you have any desert or snow planets on the way?

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Wow, looks even better with the modified lots/the new cargo port.

I would've thought the Earth shipping containers would've fitted quite nicely inside the Suijan He boxes (say, about six or eight?).

You can also do some modding with ilive's reader to do... Transparent lots! Or just use my cycleway blank texture (download my Cycleways to get the .dat file)

[jacqulina 162]

your very welcome sweety i hope you got all you needed, this is one awesome spaceport,i love the details,excellent work and pics

[football_fever 6]

zelgadis:  Yeah, I like the shadows on that one too.  Thanks for visiting

fledder200:  You think this massive spaceport alone could supply that mall?  I don't think so.

Leech10:  Thanks!

bartonn:  I absolutely do.  The planet with Crystal City on it is very snowy, and I showed off the gardens area, with some actualy city pictures to come.  A planet called Tehat Maru is going to have much desert on it.

Shadow_Assassin:  Yeah, I thought the same thing about the earth shipping containers, which is why it didn't bother me.  I even left some stacks of them laying around the cargo areas

I'm not to familiar with ilive reader (or is that LE?) but transparent lots would be awesome for those snowy lots.

jacqulina:  This project is all about the details, babe.  Even more that CC I think.  Thanks for visiting

This isn't an actual update...it's just a teaser to show what I've been working on the last two days.  Believe me, this is massive.  I almost have the whole large tile filled up with just this.

Portalis Passenger Terminals

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Looks tempting. I am ready to FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JakeMD 107]

How the heck do you do that, it is simply amazing!

you are very talented, keep up the good work!!!!!

[Godzillaman 21]

I think this is the best Space CJ that i visited.

[football_fever 6]

Schulmanator:  Oh, you're flying all right....last day of hell, right???  Whoooo!

SWAT-MEDIC:  I do it...very slowly...and carefully...so I don't mess up.  I cant remember how many of those dang space-airliners fit on each terminal, but it's a lot.  And there's 4 terminals.  I'll show the whole area once it's finished.  It looks pretty impressive.

Godzillaman:  Thanks for the compliments.  Whenever someone says that I urge them to visit the other Star League CJs.  They are pretty spectacular themselves.

Anyway, sorry I'm not showing the rest of the spaceport, but I had to work on this little bit for the next chapter of Crystal City.  It's going to take some more work, so I'm going to show what I can in here.  It's the royal palace of Apiliani.

But first, here is the town next to it

This building is the Royal Opera

And the Royal Theater

The small town still has little open-air markets like this Garden of Independence

Another view of the entire town

And on an island connected to the town is the Royal Palace

That's all for now.  Look for the spaceport soon, and a new chapter of Crystal City even sooner

[luker91 0]

wow thats really cool.... also a nice transition of building styles.... versatility is a nice thing to see in a cj and you definitely have shown it in yours...great job!
