Blue Hope - The Interactive City Journal

[Mr. Monorail Man 3]

Hey I'm back sorry I havn't posted any replies due to my 9th Grade Gateway tests and studing for them. Also on my Algebra I gateway, I was the only one in the school system that made a perfect score on it, also my Biology I gateway is another perfect score, and my English 9 End of Course test I made a 98 on it. So I'm very smart on them. Oh yea, Simcity Societies Destinations expansion pack comes out on May 27, 2008. It comes with airports, seaports, and maybe railroad tracks and stations.

ok its time for operation OFAE part one

on tiles 6,7+8 can i have 400 tiles in groups of four squares with this on each

Also i'm doing signs of the airport roadways and the part of the 104 which will run though

[FreewayofFlight 41]

Is the Highway 504 Project ready to take off?

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Can you make the signs, willg?

If so, I have some helpful information I've compiled from PMs to various people. PM me if you want it.

Mr. Monorail Man: What are Gateway tests? I'm in 9th grade too, and all we have are SOLs and EOCs. Are you here in the states?

I have a grand total of 1 sign done and on a lot.

Almighty Nienaber - You'll have to buy the recycling center to replace it... As far as R$$... Most of what determines wealth class is the education and jobs to support it. currently most of the demand is in R$...

deathtopumpkins - cool

Almighty Nienaber - Oh yes ... I remember .. ..noone thought I would actually go through with it and today it's a pretty nice CJ..

Mr. Monorail Man - Nice job on the grades... glad to know you're doing well...

FreewayofFlight - Already biult it and functioning... you'll se it on the next update.. I have your quote ready...

willg  - You mean Parcels? Yeah.. I'll need to calculate that for you.. 

deathtopumpkins - take your time...  ...You're doing better than me, I can't even model

_____________________________

I'm going to need to postpone the Update until alittle later into the week, probably Tuesday as I've run out of Internet time.. Everything has been biult it's just I don't have enough time to upload it... sorry for the delays... but in the mean time, here are your quotes for the Tollway - HoustonFan, and 504 - Freeway of Flight...

Hwy 504 Quote

Expenses
Costs to Develop	886.5

[Sydney Claridge 106]

Yes, deion3029 can contribute to the tollway, N4C. In addition, Tuckaway Transportation will be allowed to be pay for the costs, and will get 5% of the income from the road until they are paid back 1.5 times the amount that they paid for the road. And for the toll road's number, rather than 23, how about 130 Toll? (yes, I took that from a real life toll road)

[deathtopumpkins 43]

N4C, take your time on the updates. We're willing to wait, as long as they're good ones.

BATing's not really any harder than drawing stuff in paint, you just have to draw the third dimersion!           

That's an expensive tollway. 130 sounds good to me. Good thing I just labeled it the Northeastern Connector on the signs, else I'd have to renumber, re-export and re-lot the ones I'm working on right now.

Is this going to be the final numbering change? (please say yes)

Just one question though, Houston_Fan: Isn't 300% interest a little steep? (Even if it's spread out over 5 years at 5% a month) It's probably the only way we'll be able to pay for it though.

Attached is a picture of my one sign. I didn't leave it there (I haven't touched anything), just to take the picture. I think I'm going to move it to the back of the lot though so it's closer to the exit. Or should I leave it?

[Sydney Claridge 106]

I've changed the planned interest rate to 150%, but if they don't accept that, it'll be back at 300%. And yes, this will be the final numbering change.

[kj3400 178]

N4C- I should have the transportation update and the sign request by the end of the week.

Houston_Fan- I can help pay for the toll road as well.

deathtopumpkins- The sign looks good though a little short.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

150% sounds better.

It looks short? Really? It's the same height as the last signs Yoshiisland did.

[willg 0]

i do mean Parcels

[lilmanjs 2]

if I feel like making the city of Tuckaway bigger could I go ahead and do that? also since forever has passed since Douglas City was to be made(at the current end of the Tuckaway highway), so could I put that in as well?

[Need4Camaro 50]

Houston_Fan - You can number it whatever you desire, you'll just need your own herald. Just waiting on Tuckaway Transportation's approval for the loan...

deathtopumpkins - Nice job but the signs are alittle on the small end. The signs need to be alittle higher and the posts need to beable to clear both shoulders of the highway or of course, that could cause a road hazard.. well actually being it's technically not an interstate / newark roadway - I'll let you decide the signing standards. Just food for thought though. For the exit signs. The RHW Exit Tiles actually take up 2 TILES where the ramp departs (or joins) so if the tile was placed right beside it... the sign itself will need to begin 1 tile to the left of its plop point  ...view my styles on Yoshi's sign requests for information... You CAN altrnatively just put the sign on the back of the tile to give it a simular affect...

willg - Okay

lilmanjs  - sure

[deathtopumpkins 43]

I swiched it to the back already.

I guess I'm making them taller. Another meter?

If we need our own herald I already have one made.

[un1 41]

I'm back...

[Mr. Monorail Man 3]

Deathtopumpkin--I ment the Tennessee 9th grade Gateway tests. You know, Tennessee, United States.

And, me and my friends are organizing an Anime Club at my high school(Campbell County High School).

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Mr. Monorail Man: You never said Tennessee. I didn't know you lived there. I guess they have different tests than VA.

I can't make the signs taller. I added a meter of height, re-exported them, and when I was putting them on a lot I noticed that the posts don't show up in 3 view directions, and in the 4th only one post shows up. The posts are there, and were visible in the little pictures while it was rendering. I've spent an hour now trying to figure out how this happened, and cannot figure it out , so I'm keeping them how they were. Good thing I had a backup copy. I'm sorry, it's not my fault, the game just won't let me change them now, so we're just going to have to deal with them being short (which is the SAME HEIGHT as the last set that Yoshiisland did, which I've noticed are no longer on the highway they were made for). I don't seem to be able to make them longer either.

Maybe I'll keep trying, but if I don't get it to work tonight, it's staying how it is.

EDIT: I tried the ONE LAST THING I could think of, and it didn't work, so the 1 I already have will have to stay, but all future signs will be taller and hopefully off of the shoulders.

[Evillions 552]

Cant wait until the region is updated and all that!

[un1 41]

Evillions: It is already...

[kj3400 178]

deathtopumpkins- Don't worry about it. Maybe it was the angle (which is odd , since the whole game is at an angle). 

As for the signs, yoshiisland has to make new signs because of the MIS upgrade, that's why they're not there yet.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Oh yeah, I remember now.

Last night was just not my night. I built a new harbor that filled a medium city tile, and put something in it that was still in beta (I'm a beta tester for Pegasus) but was supposed to work, and the city will just about load, then CTD every time.  So I'm working on a new one. OK, I should stop complaining now. Sorry.

what do you mean un1?

[un1 41]

Almighty Nienaber: I mean that the new region is already out.

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

Un1: Where?

[un1 41]

Almighty Nienaber: Do you have a job for this CJ?

[Need4Camaro 50]

deathtopumpkins - No problem.. show photos of your signs before you put them on the sign board and export them anyway...

Almighty Nienaber - The entire region can be downloaded only for members of Blue Hope currently but Im seriously contemplating upon changing that in which people may download it to PLAN their development...

Willg here's the costs for your development assuming 1200 tiles of oil pumps will be biult... ...btw you're also going to need refineries...

If you wan't to see your development please tell me...

Until I get request here's what you can "ah" at!

[deathtopumpkins 43]

I will. I have several from exits 3&4 that I have textures for. Can I email them to you? ST won't let me attach JPEGs, bitmaps, or pngs, and when I post something from photobucket it usually only shows up as a dot in the actual post, but shows up in the editor.

I would have to vote against everybody downloading the region. If you really need it, then you can ask for it, but 300MB downloads take a little while, even on a fast computer like mine, so I don't recommend downloading it unless you really need it. My 2 cents.

[un1 41]

I'd say only the people who need the region should download it. If you wan't it badly here's a list of jobs that you need the region for:

Estimator

Updater

Grid Photo Taker

There might be more...

[Need4Camaro 50]

deathtopumpkins - Yeah you can email them to me. As for downloading the region, it will be handled slightly differently if it pushes through. You'll only need to download the plugins once and from there you'll only download updated plugins seperately so the only large files you'll need to download will be the regions... If this doesn't push then we definately need to get the grid photo's updated...
