Blue Hope - The Interactive City Journal

[Hahayoudied 3]

Good update, but could you please make the text in the video larger? I had trouble reading the text, it was too small.

[Need4Camaro 50]

Hahayoudied - Yes. That will be corrected in update 7. I noticed it too but the original copy didnt have that problem. The distortion was added by youtube. You can access the Original Video via the FileShare center...

_________

Vote - BlueHope will release 5 New Regions when BlueHope II is launched. 

We have three options however...

A.) Release all 5 Regions seperated as individual regions

B.) All 5 Regions should represent the Island as one MEGA Region...

C.) Create the 5 Regions as different regions on the island and the 6th Region as the MEGA Region with Newark included on it. - The 6th Region to include 60% of the land that makes Newark while the rest is scattered throughout the 5 regions...

--------------------------

Give me your oppinions!

[simmaster07 1,221]

I'm gonna go with B, mainly because the SCRT server won't be able to handle 5 regions all at once!!

[phoenix7 3]

I go with option b. I still have the old region, do I have to download the new one, and do I have to reregister for the new file server system?

[un1 41]

I think B is a fine route to take.

[kj3400 178]

I like option B as well. The story is getting good.

[Need4Camaro 50]

simmaster07 - Thanks for your vote and we greatly appreciate your fileserver access

phoenix7 - If option B is chosen, everyone will have to redownload the Region...

un1 - Looks like we're getting a majority here...

kj3400 - Ya a major majority...

_________________________________

Option B wins

Also I'd like to state that Parcel's 6, 8, and 10 Have been updated to better manage garbage problems. Redownload them if you will.

Another Vote...

When Newark finally becomes a state, it will gain priviledges to biuld interstates. Now there's some contraversy as to what form they should be represented in, I'd like to put up a vote to see how Newark Interstates should represent themselves...

Regardless of the option, Odd digits will proceed North/South while Evens will proceed East/West.

If you choose a Special Symbol, MAKE SURE YOU STATE WHICH SET you chose...

Option A.

This states that the interstates will pick up from where I-99 left off. tripple digit interstates will be main stream insterates while quadro digit interstates will be spurs, loops, and bypasses from parent interstates. 

Option B.   

A letter N is added to the digit. N1 would start on the west side of Newark and proceed North/South while N4 would be closer to the south side of Newark and proceed East/West.

Option C.    

All Newark interstate signs and interstate trailblazer signs will be black with dark blue Shading...

Option D.    

Interstates will recieve a special symbol with a special color but similar shape as the Interstates. Choose a set if you're interested.

Option E.      

All interstates like before will recieve a special symbol in the same form as an interstate shield but a different color. Also the sign color for all Newark Interstates will be back with dark blue highlighting.

Let me know your vote. N4C...

Hey! It has been hard for me to participate with some of the changes (since I own a mac and not a pc). However, I have been paying attention for the most part. Sorry about the site being attacked (or whatever happened to it). Great to see you back with a new host.

As for the freeway signs, I am a fan of using the letter N in front of new numbers (so starting with N1, N2 etc).

[Need4Camaro 50]

Benedict - Understandble. Whats preventing the region from loading on MAC? Are the file extensions different? Are there plugins that only work on certain O.S.? We miss your railroading.

[kj3400 178]

I like option D, set 4. The first set seems too complicated and I don't really like "N" in front of everything. And the other two look too dark; people might not be able to see the sign. All of them look good though. They're very innovative.

[Need4Camaro 50]

Nice, 2 votes so far...

I'm working on the next story update.

[ecoba 28]

NO, but up on 29 they've completely widened the median and added a bunch a stuff, but with the 202 comment, i was on an early page and did not look at the date, OOOPPPSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but anyway i would like to work around Linaton and see if I could expand or even add a freeway connector/spur from highway 2 by the old highway A2 Terminus, if I could, oh, were u in athens long enough to see all the resignage, they basically replaced ALL the signs in town. and are you going to make the north newark region up soon, cuz i might develop up there, and btw i am no1superme an youtube, sry for the name inconvenience

[ecoba 28]

sorry my reply was rambly

[ecoba 28]

sorry my reply was rambly

[ecoba 28]

plus i like option A

[Need4Camaro 50]

ecoba - Yea I pass under that overpass almost everyday. Lawrenceville Highway is the only U.S. Highway in Atlanta that only has ONE intersection with I-285...They did a nice job but if you really want to see an awsome sight, 316 and I-85... Wow... ...just... Wow...  

Yes I went to Athens once BEFORE the resignage and got totally lost because the exit signs didnt even have numbers on them. I went about a year after the resignage and asside from the one single at-grade crossing, Loop 10 looks just like an Interstate. There were talking for awhile about bringing two Interstates through Athens, One of them is desperatey needed

GA 316 as a freeway and another Interstate that was going to completely replace U.S. 441 between Knoxville TN and Savannah GA. It was going to end up using Loop 10 through some of its portion, it would have REALLY helped Athens out had they biult it but I don't think they're going to

[ecoba 28]

OH!!!!!!! Sorry I think you misunderstood, I was talking about 29 up toward Athens Tech! (Coulda worded that Better) but thats okay!,  But I think it would be a good idea to make 316 a spur of 85, but the 441 you were talking about was prposed I-3 (UGH!!!!!!!! I HATE THAT NAMING, IT SHOULD BE LIKE, 340, 995, SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!), that was actually to be routed out in Oglethorpe County, by lexington!, OH! I have a request for the next update!, Could you put some pictures of Linaton, Tuckaway, Lantia, and the finished 101 Turnpike, I'm getting confused about what stuff is like now!!!! He He!, once i get my new computer up and running i will be able to download and build stuff!, I am interested in making a freeway connector to Linaton!!

[Need4Camaro 50]

ecoba - Yeah I think it would have been awsome had they biult it though.

As for the Linaton project. The 202/A2 Tollway was converted into a new tollroad called the Newark Turnpike 101. It goes right through Linaton currently. I would say just wait till you can download the region, I'm personally am EXTREMELY busy and would be slow with getting those photo's up for you. If you dont have the region before I get some decent spare time though, I'll show you.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

nice so far, and you may want to change your signature to the appropriate size pictures, and i think it only allows one. a mod may come and change eventually

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

I can never get the Site to work, so i would like it if someone could post a modern picture of newark. thank you.

[phoenix7 3]

Yeah, the site isn't working for me either right now. Also, I vote for B.

[Need4Camaro 50]

Just to tell you, I've managed to login to the fileshare center on three different computers using three different connections aswell so it isn't just my personal computer thats able to access it.

When you try to access it, what happens?

[Need4Camaro 50]

Almighty Nienaber - Got alittle spare time in.

The former terminus of the old 202/A2 Tollway where it encountered Highway 2 is now an overpass... The 101 Turnpike now provides an Exit in Linaton...

The Linaton Exit for the 101 Turnpike, accessing Downtown Linaton and Highway 2. Afterward it crosses the Oconee River and has 5 more exits before terminating. 

Space here is very limited so getting an actual freeway here will be very tricky unless you convert Highway 2 into a Freeway...

Story Mode Update 7 - As usual, these videos are fresh so it might take them a moment to become available!

Part 1...

[mapmaker89 1]

Good to see that you brought the story mode back - that was one of my favorite parts about following this journal.

BTW - I have no problem accessing the site - it looks great. I had no idea Newark was that big!

Love the roadgeekery as always. Looking forward to more of that and the stories.
