simmars-forum-threads Is this project still going?

[Inusion X 1]

I am really impressed by Beta 2. I would like to see future updates. But I see that this section of the forums is kind of inactive. Is this project still active? Is a version past Beta 2 still being worked on?

I would love to volunteer to help on the project. I hope that this is not a lost cause.

[gamenomad 0]

Me too I find that all is inactive. We need to see log of the work done. Plz save this project! If you want, maybe i can do the website job...

[Inusion X 1]

would it be possible to revive the project?

[borntoboogie 15]

Well i sure hope it is revived!  I am still working on ideas etc. and learning to BAT so I can help develop this!  transport team should have been up and running a few weeks ago =(

[Inusion X 1]

How many people would we need to get it going again

[warrior 169]

borntoboogie: I'll might as well put it here, how is the suspened monorail coming along, I can make it functional when I have the models.

[doodlea21 31]

I'd love to participate myself. Maybe with my shaky BAT skills I might be able to whip something up.

[Inusion X 1]

So we can just start working on something, say the water filtration plant, show our progress in the workshop forum, and upload it when were done.

Am i correct or is there a different procedure, I understood this as a community project, but do we need to sign up and be accepted before we can contribute?

[borntoboogie 15]

Yes Inusion that is the best thing to do at the moment as the project is not well organised.

Warrior: do we have anybody that can make skins for the trains and can the shape of trains be changed from the sc4 default?

[warrior 169]

borntoboogie: Possibley, I can get models into S3D format but skinning isn't so good, maybe something could be added in our sigs, something to the effect of Reader skinners needed. In other words people who texture/UV map models from within the reader.

Anyway you need to sign up at moddb.com if possible. And is the suspened monorail being done by you?

I have made changs to the HSRP modd so that it replaces el-rail not monorail, however the t21s don't want to work, IOW no overhead cables and masts show up and occasionally the original el-rail props show up.

[borntoboogie 15]

No we scrapped suspended monorail in favour of maglev because it would be easier to use hsrp and edit that.  I have a basic model for the supporting legs but I'm not sure what models I need to make for this to work!

[warrior 169]

So what will replace what.

rail- ? (possibly stay the same?)

monorail - HSRP

El-Rail - Maglev

We need all the possible models, switches striaght, diagonal, etc.

[borntoboogie 15]

so you want support legs seperate to track or connected?

I thought monorail = HSRP = maglev?

el-rail we havent considered yet, nor rail...

do you have an idea how to convert a building to a prop?

[AndisArt 2,068]

Hi all, sorry for my abscence, I been having RL stuff to deal with...

Won't be having to much time to spend with the project, but basically yes this is a community project so everyone is welcome to participate. All the necessary info is available in the sticky threads in the Project and in the Workshop forum. I will open a BETA 3 thread to give some directions.

As I said I won't be able to spent too much time in the upcoming weeks, and I'm very sorry about this, but real life comes first.

So go ahead with your ideas and creations!

I really hope this project doesn't die. I have been thinking of doing a sim mars CJ. Does any one know if any already exist? And if not, do you think a CJ would get people excited about Sim Mars?

[borntoboogie 15]

I think there isa CJ section on the SimMars forum, but if not a SimMars CJ is a great idea for the main forums!  if we can get more people interested in modding / batting we can start work on the beta 3

on a similar note I have started a thread on sc4place.co.nr to keep people up to date with SimMars

[Cleaner475 150]

borntoboogie: yeah thanks for that - I hope we can get more people interested about SimMars through my site - I'll be advertising simmars on the homepage soon - i wondered if there are any logos etc that i could use

Richard

[borntoboogie 15]

Best thing to do is to have a little look at the Forums here, as there are images lying round all over the place! the main logo can be found at

hope thats of some use.

Any idea when the Pex will be up and running again?

[warrior 169]

borntoboogie: a small correction : I guess the main logo would be andisart's sig here,

EDIT: have we got any models for replacing networks?

And would someone like to make a Marsified HSRP station/hub ( Similar to the earth one?)

EDIT2: 666th post

[Cleaner475 150]

borntoboogie: planning for around January but I may be able to upload simmars to a different area until the pex is released then move it there - if of course we have permission to do so?

Thanks for the image

Richard

[borntoboogie 15]

yes yes good point. I'm still not quite sure what we're doing with transit network right now, and I'm a little bogged under with work atm.

[Cleaner475 150]

btw i don't know why but if simmars ever wants a team room or some space/blog at sc4place I'd be happy to make one

Richard

[borntoboogie 15]

oo our very own team room! lol

thanks for the offer but it would seem like treachery to move away from ST

[Cleaner475 150]

yeah I understand, just if you ever wanted to advertise it more at SC4P is what I'm saying

Richard

cleaner475: Simmars doesn't need a new place, it just need new members.

[Cleaner475 150]

I'm not saying a new place to work and stuff just it would help attract new members wouldn't it - I'm going to start some more threads up about simmars at my site and hope I can encourage more people to help with this project,

Richard

[SimRabbit 48]

How is your site going to attract new members?

[Jazzmaster 716]

@SimRabbit: Cleaner's site is already beutiful as it is, especially the homepage, it's very well made. I think the SimMars threads would attract new members to join his site and for those who want to help, join the SimMars project as well.

PS: My 800th Post!

[borntoboogie 15]

congratz on the 800th post Yoshi! and you're right the main thing is getting new members and us being on such a good looking site as SC4place is bound to help/ i keep checking up on the forums there so I can send 'em here or look at their suggetsions

[Cleaner475 150]

How is your site going to attract new members?quote>

I thought that would be pretty self explanatory.

Thanks for the compliments to the site borntoboogie and Yoshi anmd congrats Yoshi on your 800th post!

borntoboogie - Hopefully I will be able to help attract a few new members for the project

Richard
