Blue Hope - The Interactive City Journal

[Need4Camaro 50]

Almighty Nienaber - That land has already been occupied... You would have to buy the commercial offices and destroy them to continue with that project...

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

Damn, it dosnet even look the same.

Okay, ill buy the land ONLY where the Wang Chai Progect Housing and the parks Will sit.

unless anyone else is updating the picture, i will

[Need4Camaro 50]

Almighty Nienaber - It was an addition to the 504 Project which was SUPPOSED to be featured in my last update but 90% of the update was cancled out when Simtropolis crashed...

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

huh, so, do i need to find a new place for these building?

[Need4Camaro 50]

Almighty Nienaber - For phase 1 you can if you WANT to, or just purchase the commercial properties in the way and have them destroyed... for Phase 2, no...

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

OKAY, go ahead and do Phase2, and ill find another way to make Phase1 work

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

okay, I beleive I will move Phase One to lantia, do you have a mor eupdated picture for me?

[MPTC 0]

Where in Lantia, space is getting pretty tight out there aswell

[un1 41]

Oh, I may suggest near my new development, space isn`t very tight!!! It will be apart of my un1`s City Phases. It can be apart of phase 2 since phase one is already made... The only thing is that you`ll have to pay for it...

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

huh, im not shure where you new development is. ill look in, and consiter it.

[un1 41]

That's the surprise for tommorow I'll tell you before but don't tell anyone!!! Wait until 8:30 EST!!!

[Need4Camaro 50]

I'm going to need to make an very important announcement...

Things in my life are changing dramatically and desperately need attention and unfortunately it's severely going to cut into Blue Hope.

My mothers accident leaves her without a car so I have no choice but to help her as she would do the same for me if I were in her predicament. Not to mention various other things including college and finances...

I am not going to beable to update Blue Hope like I've used to for a very long time, infact it might not even be worth considering that things will return to the same way they were before... 

I am not killing Blue Hope but unfortunately I have no other choice but to change once again the way things are run...

...For those who want to continue to interact between developments, I am going to setup a server to host the CJ on in which everyone will get a username / password and beable to download the region and its plugins. From there, before you download and edit a parcel, you'll need to request to post your development and using the REGION instead of the grid photos on the website. You post your development plan as you normally would... when I APPROVE it, a deed will be constructed and you will be clear to develope upon the Parcel. Afterwhich you will then upload the Parcel and zip the Plugins into a .dat file and upload it back to the server for participants to download... ...I am going to set up a system in which you will only need to download the Parcels that were edited and the plugins that were added, this way you will not have to download 300 Mbs worth of files every week but at the very most.. .50...

...You WILL beable to post your own update on the forum...

Unfortunately... I cannot continue to develope at the rate I was before...

---

The new system will be implimented by June 15th

I will carry through the last remaining updates (including the ones that were deleted) and proceed into the new system...

There will still be a score system and I expect score keepers to audit the development quotes...

I will leave instructions upon how to download BlueHope and its Plugins without interfering with your own...

I am sorry-- but if this CJ is to remain updated, this is the only way I can carry it through...

[un1 41]

That's terrible!!! I don't know what I'll do... Can I be called un1???

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Wow. This is unexpected. Sorry, hopefully we can run it ourselves for a while, at least until you get everything sorted out and can return to normal updating mode (however long from now that may be). I would be willing to help out with posting anything that needs posting.

After this is my copy of the region still pretty up to date?

And any sign progress? I'd still like to rework mine with your shiny new gantries. (I've put that project on hold and have a new one underway, which you can find here [link will be added shortly])

Good luck with everything!

[Need4Camaro 50]

un1 - As in a username? I think so..

deathtopumpkins - Incredibaly it is.. even I wasn't counting on this but ALOT of crap just broke loose and I have no choice but to give it my full attention - Im fixxing the signs so they'll fit on the tile they're placed on. I will upload them tomorrow.. 

_____________

I wasn't saying I was LEAVING Blue Hope, I'm just saying that I can no longer devote as much attention as I used to from June 15th and on - I can't carry updates. - I will still be here to judge requests and perhaps even throw up a few developments of my own on a sparse case... Most of - if not all.. .the jobs will remain intact and pay as they normally did...

As it stands...

Newark began with around 70,000 inhabitants and is currently around 450,000 inhabitants, so far it is living up to expecations of a very realistic city journal with realistic growth patterns... .... I am very proud of the developments and requests made here and I don't intend to completely kill the project, Im just going to put it in a position where it will be much easier for me to manage to keep it alive.

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

oh, thats diffrent

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Well, I thought this wasn't going to die.

Anyone out there?

Or did the site's downtime scare everyone away?

[fourthparallel 0]

wow this CJ is quite a succes!

[Shingure 56]

Hmm , Seems like there will be alittle more confusion headed my way. But I understand your predicament.

[Mr. Monorail Man 3]

I got an idea that some of you might think it's a good one. HOV-2 LANES. first place a HOV or a NO Trucks lot from the traffic controller lot on the STEX on a road or a one-way road. then shift that road into a RHW-2 or RHW-4, And make 1 or 2 entry/exit points and dont forget at the start or end make it end/begin at a 2-lane road going across the RHW-4. Trust me, it works mainly for bus or cars. Not Fright trucks.!

[AceofSpades 1]

Okay I'm back, sorry N4C I've been away in Canada for two weeks...

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Mr. Monorail Man: I've had those HOV lane lots that only allow busses for a little while, but it's really hard to even get the busses to use them, as they prefer to just use the regular highway. They probably would, however, if there was a large volume of busses, and you put the HOV exits where all of the busses come on and off.

[un1 41]

I wouldn't suggest that you use HOV lanes because there difficult to handle!! I'd suggest that you make several routes one being HOV.

Well It's About Time For This!!!!

!!!!My 900th Post!!!!

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull work you have done here my friend,i look forward to updates as off when you have the time.

[Need4Camaro 50]

deathtopumpkins - It's far from dead - it's only changing to become more efficient... I have not and will not forget about this CJ - btw Im still fixing your sign posts.. having issues with placement and lighting but will mostly be resolved... I can't gauruntee you any date because currently things are going EXTREMELY hectic on my end but I will promise you'll get them on time...

fourthparallel - Thank you...

Shingure - Thanks - It's getting extremely difficult here so things are going to be very slow for awhile but when they pick up again - those who remain will experience a much more efficient updating system...

Mr. Monorail Man - HOV lanes are nice but not necessary on Newarks Highways because most of the freight traffic is handled by rail - the few trucks that use it don't congest the highway enough to opt for such a feat for installation...

AceofSpades - Welcome back, is it warm there yet?

deathtopumpkins - It's because they always seek the fastest route and because ground highways have a higher speed limit than one way roads, they can get there faster on even a crowded ground highway than an empty oneway road.. ...the only way to remedy that is to force them to use the HOV lanes - ever think of installing Park/Ride accessable Bus Stops with ramps that ONLY lead into the HOV Lanes?

un1 - Congrats!

jacqulina - Thank you

______________________________

Things are going extremely hectic for me as of late - Transportation Issues, Moving, and College - My main priority is to set up an update system in which each member can selectively perform their own update on a parcel - sharing parcels will be performed on a turn base of who's development is approved first - from there you will have up to one week to re-uppload that parcel or post it on the Blue Hope CJ website or your turn will be skipped. If for any reason it will take more than one week (The 101 Turnpike / E-W Connector MIS upgrades costed me 2 - 3 weeks) then you will need to divide the project up into phases in which you can complete each at different intervals - ONLY if someone else has requested that parcel...

Just incase - I will need to reitterate that I am NOT going to kill Blue Hope - I just won't be performing updates unless under certain circumstances... - you'll be in full control of your own development after the upload of the regions. I presume when college lightens up a bit - during my 2 week break I may or may not beable to return to developing the storyline before Soni wakes up to find himself living in a city of over 1 Million people in the blink of an eye ...

This is just a friendly reminder of where I'm at with everything...

[jacqulina 162]

good luck my friend

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Yeah, I know you hadn't killed it, but I just saw that no one had posted in 4 days and it was at the top of the third page, which it doesn't deserve.

That park and ride HOV concept's a great idea. I might try it, and will get back to you on the results.

I've got a bigger project that will occupy me this week (American/euro RHW texture mod), so I'm not really in any hurry to do the signs.

PS: This is my last week of school, so I'll have a ton more free time. Expect to see me around more often.

The new system sounds really cool (and helpful), I hope it works out.

BTW, any chance you've got the last few storyline updates available somewhere? When I was reading through the whole thread none of the links to the video updates worked, and I don't want you to start back up on that without me being caught up!

[un1 41]

I think I guess I should just leave the Blue Hope CJ... It's up to you!! For now... Farewell all...

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Why, un1?

Just because the update method changes is no reason to leave it?

But, can I have your stuff if you do? lol
