Experimental City Journal Preparations : Developing Internations

[bienefeldt 3]

wow! Looks very cool. Especially the swimmingpool!

Where did you download them??

 

[Mickebear 2]

Patrick, it is just really nice, I think! And to put the camping grounds there... LOL

[petriknl 15]

And thats already page 5, even we are not started yet!! (for some medditeranean looks see page 4 )

[NicolaiS 8]

Just a short post to let everybody know I am still around ... every day that is ... I am already making mind preparations for the actual start of the journal.

A big thanks to Tijn for drawing the map!!!

[Alkaola 18]

hey all i'm back with many mediterann

[fredval 26]

Eh Petriknl, your teaser is more than a teaser, it's really beautiful !! I can't wait to see more

I need to think about this camping thing... Should we create a big lot (such as Deadwood's one, but bigger) or many small ones so that each camping sites are different (same principle than my beaches or farms in Aldebaran, made with dozens of 1x1 and 1x2 custom lots) ?

 

 

Here another example on my training... I still need to spend some time on the lot editor but it's not that bad...

Beautiful picture btw thanks for the compliment I think we should have a lot of 1x1 and 1x2 lots then we can have all different camping sites instead of all the same and most campings are irregular of shape.. btw where are u from?

Thanks for the nice comment !  I'm from France (Paris), thus I've spent a lot of time in campings when I was younger.

But as far as I remember, Dutch people also know by heart French campings

 

I'll try something when I have more free time.

 

Take care

[petriknl 15]

cool and yes I know some french campings ehh aroudn 6 or something like that.. haha I went to Argeles sur Mer or as you better can call it Argels aan Zee (dutch translation) in the summer my god how cool.. what did you think of the bungalow park idea.. if you want advice on the camping contact me

[Casper3141 60]

Are their still openings? If so I would very much like to join

[lilou 1]

Fredval, your mosaic is beautiful. It really looks like cities in the South of Europe.
Petriknl, your work is amazing as well. I'm looking forward to seeing more in September

[petriknl 15]

Thanks lilou.. I am building a experimental mediterranean city these days which I will show to you when finished

Casper3141: There are no openings left anymore, maybe if someone will drop out but you will have to compete with several others then, if this ever happens.

[Mickebear 2]

Fredval, you are my master

[petriknl 15]

Well if Fredval is your master I hope to be a good student hehe; here another teaser of Sant Etienne sur le Lac;

It's weird because I've always considered you as my Master.

 

And Petriknl, your mosaics are great. It's a real honour to have a student like you

And there have been so many cases where the students became better than their masters : Michelangelo, Platon, Luke Skywalker... just to mention a few ones

[mtbrocket 2]

Interesting idea. Great pictures.

[fredval 26]

Something that we will have to agree on is the water mod that we will use... If not the rock mod as well...

[petriknl 15]

Thanks all for your comments (altough mm better than the masters... who knows hehe) and yes Fredval I agree with you about a rockmod and watertexture... I would love a meditteranean blue one for the water.. the current one I have is the Bblue.. it looks nice but maybe it can be better.. About the rockmod, I have really no idea, I am using one of PEG..

[Superstar 69]

Wow! I must say this is one of the MOST detailed citys I've ever seen in SC4! It's just so amazing! GREAT work done here and I will look back again

[petriknl 15]

thx superstar... can you give me an example of those details??

[scififan68 23]

That last update was awsome Great work!

[Mickebear 2]

Alright, apart from the map, which is now being done by Tijn21 (with little alterations: he noticed that there isn't a lot of land mass), we need to start talking about other common material that we need. Fredval already suggested common water and maybe rock mods. Other ideas? I think cycledogg's terrain mod is magnificent to use by us all, don't you?

Petriknl suggested the camping ground idea, which is certainly something that we all could have common.

 

Other common ideas to unify? Euro road top mod probably (cosmetics)? Everybody has NAM?

 

Recently I haven't heard from most of you, only Fredval and Petriknl have been posting here... vacations have hit you guys?

 

Let's hear from each other.

EDIT: At Gizmo's website, there is a 'weather' mod, which gives fog and plenty of it. I have downloaded it, but not yet tested. Maybe it could be also a good addition to our game - or would it be too Benelux/UK/Northern France thing? At least there is a lot of fog at the Adriatic see in December - February... what do you think?

[petriknl 15]

mmmm I hope they are on vacation and just temporary away... I think we must use cycledogg's terrain mod it is great. It is not necesarry to have the same road top (eg the concreteroads of Belgium.. bonk... bonk ... bonk .. bonk ) but cosmetic it will look better, I thin we should use the Euro road top. The water and rockmod is still undecided.

mm maybe we could use that weathermod. We can use it in the wintertime or something like that. About the campinggrounds.. not all nations should have it but it is the most important feature of European touristsite's I think or probably one of the most important ones.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

great CJ!!!

[NicolaiS 8]

I am also still here and reading the posts every day. I think a common water/rock modd will add realism to the Nations as we are all neighbours in the cj.

So far I have not used Cycledog's modd, I will have to experiment with it first ( if I have it saved somewhere )

 

I have no problems using euro-top modd, I always use it.

 

An idea might be to negotiate the different kinds of public transport that are available. I mean every European country has its own colour scemes for trains buses et cetera. It might be nice that every nation has a unique series and we wont see the same trains/buses/ trams in every nation.

 

Secondly ... how about making an agreement about international road and national road numbering systems?

Thank you for the nice comments !  But you've seen nothing yet : it's not begun

 

 

Well I may look like a newbie, but what is the Euro-top road mod thing ?

[petriknl 15]

pff thank god Nicolais (of gewoon mooi ) You never used the Cycledoggs terrain mod.... it is so fucking (sorry) realistic really cool. The idea of different colours/cras etc should be cool very good idea... The road numbering system can be done national as you wish and yes international... do you know or does someone else now how the E-numbering in Europe ever started?

Fredval.. thanks for the correction but he maybe pointed to our (hehe) great pictures.. and you never used the Euro-top road mod? whaaaa no no and you are the master.. weird.. It is so cool it makes the highways black like they do in Europe and as the nice tollroads in France (which I think are very fine infrastructure)

[SIMMANIA 4]

I'm back from my trip in Californiaand I saw I won! I'm ging on another trip so wait about five days approx' so I will be really back!

[petriknl 15]
