Blue Hope - The Interactive City Journal

[Need4Camaro 50]

willg - It's going to be extremely expensive, if not impossible to run an ENTIRE new line from the Airport terminal to Newark Central, WAY too many obstructures basically. Besides that line would be far too long and unrealistic. (it would be the length of 2 large tiles yet only have two stations)... The South Shore Line itself runs just south of the proposed site of the airport, a new line is almost unecessary except for the fact there will be no station at the terminal. I'd recommend biulding the station close (but not at) the airport, and eventually running a Light Rail system TO the actual terminal when time, demands meet...

Curious, did everyone see the 202/A2 Tollway Remake? I need oppinions as this might become the standard update format, or atleast the showcase format.

The remade video is great - much better quality and I like the added text. Way to go.

[iamihop11 19]

The video was SO much better and more professional. I was curious about the blinky cars, but I'm not sure if you can do anything about that. The text was an excellent touch; I think that short videos would be a really cool way to show new developments, but if it's really time-consuming, you could just highlight some of the biggest developments that way. And thanks for checking the skyscraper policy -- I agree not to mess with what's already there, but just to put the brakes on a bit.

Well, I think the movie was great and proffesional! This is definitely my choice for video formats! Also, I wouldn't bother with the in-game recorder. If you hit CTRL+X then type "RECORDER" it'll pop up; however, it records it more like a slide show than a video, so you'd have to enter several hundred screenshots to get a decent looking video in Windows Movie Maker or a similiar program. Long story short...your method is WAY better than the in game recorder! As for the Menu Management Lots, I hit a bump in the road with them not saving right in the ILive reader or something, but it shouldn't be too hard to resolve!

compile with a gif maker that's what you're supposed to do with the recorder's dump.

Great new video. Fantastic. $100 Speeding fine... very nice. Only 1 suggestion: use a faster car, like a ferrari

[Need4Camaro 50]

iamihop11 - I'll explain the flashing. In the game, any object that is active and represents movement, is constantly flashing. Only it is flashing so fast that it is impossible to detect with the human eye. It flashes because that is the way it constantly repositions itself. Lets have a look at it this way... lets take for example. 1 = Car is visable and positioned, and 2 = Car is not visable and repositioning. In the game, and this happens within nanoseconds, it would be displayed as 101010101010101010101010101

Now lets take a video recorder that can't record as fast as the game can play... 

It's only going to beable to capture random moments within a selected period... thus the recorder is going to skip frames and record like this...

111100000001110001111100000000000011111111111111110001100001111000111111

Thats why the cars blink.

stop building buildings larger then mine

and who should i write the check to...lol

[ObladiOblada 1]

Iamihop 11: I think you are right I won't build skyscraper at this rime any longer

N4C: I havn't started with willig's airport yet but I think it must be finished at the end of this week. I have heard that there should be some hotels near the airport. Is it ok to build highrise hotels there or must it be flat complexes? Because most hotels on stex are hotel towers.

Yoshiisland will you signs in bat

n4c what is the currency

[lilmanjs 2]

what I mean by rural towns is all of the towns that are far away from the big city. I'd like to see how people are doing out in the country.(that also means the cities that are on islands)

[Zarp 0]

I wanted my farm a bit far away from the other farms of the region, so I would like to know if it is possible to build on the parcel 20 - NE of downtown... Thats how I want, if possible:

If I'm able to build larger,  build it the largest way possible, also if I cant build the size I requested, then tell me =p

[rocketoink 3]

So when does construction on Fireplace begin?

I'm sry, I was just;1, curious. And 2.the thread had fallen back into the third page.

[ObladiOblada 1]

rocketoink: I`am working on your project but it isn't finished yet. maybe tomorrow

[iamihop11 19]

N4C: I was, as usual,  watching the Science Channel last night (or maybe it was National Geographic, I dunno.) and I saw a show about the Hope Diamond, which they think came from the French Blue diamond, so some people call it the Blue Hope.  Is that where the person who came up with the name "Blue Hope" got the inspiration? I thought that was pretty cool.

Anyway, I have a first phase for my purchasing of downtown property:

The red outlines what I would like to purchase but keep the same. The three sections of green represent two small plazas and a flower garden. I am going to ask that the Schop Institute cover the costs of these parks, if the Directors Panel approves. As soon as a majority (ie 3) of the directors: MPTC, CTF, Obladi, and 2nerdy4u, it'll be approved.

Okay, this is driving me crazy. I'm at home, and my family's internet connection is garbage, and Imageshack won't let me upload the image. The only way I can get it is without trying to change the size. Hopefully it isn't too big. And hopefully it works. I'm very tempted to throttle this computer right now.



For the love of.... Ok, well it's there, but probably too big. Hang on.


There. Sort of...

[KingTitan 6]

Good replies iamihop11... I really like your CJ as you already know.....

BUT, for the life of me I can not find that "arrow" looking shiny building you have in your latest update......can you give me the exacte name or the keyword so I can find it on the STEX? Much appreciate it....thanks.

[Need4Camaro 50]

WHEW!! I've had a loooong week, and I'm ganna have another long one... Super sorry for the delay... I'm going to try to have the website updating by tonight... No gauruntee's as I still have swamps loads of homework...

I had to take a road trip to Charlotte N.C. (very beautiful city - actually I was impressed), get there and then I got an unrepairable flat tire... had to drive the spare all the way home... Anyway...
________________________________

willg - What do you mean?

lilmanjs - Very well, ObladiOblada should be fulfilling your request.

Zarp - Okay, tell me exactly where on Parcel 20 you had in mind?...

iamihop11 - Bluehope was originated by his main character which was Azuriyuu which is Japanesee for "Blue Courage" It gets kind of deep, Azuriyuu is a very very interesting character along with the person who played his role.  Bluehope was actually originally an Academy for people / characters in a fictionary story that desired to increase their fighting talent. It was a very difficult school to get in, but very very rewarding should you actually graduate. Nice project...

KingTitan - The white biulding in Downtown? That would be The Vienna Tower...Comercial Lot of course... Just curious and no pressure by all means but do you think Bluehope could squeeze a place in your siggy?

MPTC -  You MUST convert those photo's into .jpg format or noone will beable to view them... Right now all I can see is your text...

[willg 0]

the currency $

[Need4Camaro 50]

willg - You mean the points? I am going to post those when I announce the update of the website hopefully this evening...
________________________________

Update: The East/West Connector video has been uploaded and can be viewed here! It is of MUCH better quality than even the 202/A2 Video and has sound, Also, no more blinking cars... I encourage you to watch..

[Zarp 0]

I posted a picture showing the place and how I wanted the farm =|

If you want the grid, it is the C6.

PS: if you have problems seeing the picture tell me so I can send you via-something.

[Need4Camaro 50]

Zarp - I can't see it, is it in .jpg format? regardless C6 is perfectly fine. We'll need to run utilities that way but it should be fine. Convert it into a .jpg format via M.S. paint Save As and reupload/post it...

[Zarp 0]

There it is. Build it the largest my points allow me, please.

PS: IE sucks :x

[rocketoink 3]

I just saw the East/West Connector tour, an I loved it! Every bit of it was perfect, the music was awesome, I couldn't not love it! Although I actually can't see the new tollway remake. It must be good, judging by the Connector.

[Jazzmaster 716]

I'm having a little bump in the road with these menu management lots...but I will DEFINITELY have them figured out by the time Thanksgiving break is over (I'll be contacting Diggis again soon so we can work together to sort it out, very, VERY soon) and before my module mall thing is officially released...

just wondering, but how many points would the mall be worth if you used it in your city?

@lilmanjs: Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you or our group. I'm working around RL and my BAT project (both of which are a real handful; one in one hand one in the other, you understand), but I should ALSO have your signs by the time break is over--like I said, loads of time when I'm not chillin' with the family!

[iamihop11 19]

Might I suggest an update? Anything, really, so people don't stop checking this CJ!

[Mr. Monorail Man 3]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for the delay, my computer was infected with spyware and adware. Well, I agree with you iamihop 11 WE NEED A UPDATE.
