^^ Looks like we have another MATTX on our handshttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/22.gif>

Frogface, your buildings look great! And Agra, that intersection sure is big!

Thanks! https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif> These two highways are the oldest ones in Olympia - although not built during the same time period. When I added the second highway I couldn't decide how to build it, and I couldn't find a good place to merge them into one either, so thay run side by side from this point, (near the eastern city border exit), over the river and a bit further into the southwest part of the downtown area where they both continues in different directions. I have no current plans to change this - although the intersection itself shown in the image above might be subject to some improvements.

Agra[/quoteAUTHOR]

Ok, I'm doing some major work in Olympia right now, trying to take advantage of the shorelines, and most of all getting more space available for a city that's growing. But, here's the promised image; http://w1.193.telia.com/~u19311232/Agra855.jpg> I've decreased the lot size itself allowing me to place the other side of the platform to whatever lot I want. It works fine with roads. Not visible in the image are the busstops placed under the platforms - there are two Frogface Stations placed, one on each side of the avenue - and it also function as a subway station. The two highways run in tunnels below the avenue - as obviously shown https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/4.gif>[/quoteMESSAGE][/bEGINQUOTE]

Agra this is stunningly beautiful. Great use of my Moontowers as well, I really like that.

Frogface - your mediterranean buildings are excellent. They do look like crammed together rowhouses that can be found all over that region. I love the new train station as well.

Thanks Chozo https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif> I did some changes to that Moontower lot, but it looks great. However, it will be demolished though https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/11.gif> ......and moved to another location. The area is needed for residential structures.

hey agra great usage of my lot!

its very nice how it goes on a 'bridge' over the highway, i like the city very much

[jtportland 184]

agra, where did you get the National Congress ?? that's a great version of it, i want it! lol https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif> it will also go great with my brasilia cathedral https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

Sorry for going off-topic Frogface, (I've done it before within your thread https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/22.gif>)

Anyway, the National Congress is available at the official exchange. I think it's FAA's creation. However, this lot - as soo many others used in Olympia - are further improved, so the originals may look differently - just so you don't get fooled by the appearance shown in my images https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif>

However, Brasilia Cathedral, what's that? Something I've missed?

Let me refrase that; I have not modified the Moontower. When I wrote it I was thinking of that exhibit thing near the right corner below - the one that looks like a globe! https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif>

And thanks vidioman for the info! I'm downloading it right now! I believe the Walmart has to be re-located now https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/22.gif>

[frogface 352]

ok the rowhouses version 2 is alomost finished... everything done they just need testing

i will also release a props version for people who want to use them in a lot.

[Alkaola 18]

you tested it ?????? you're ready to update it ??????? please say YES to us

[frogface 352]

i'll probably uplaod it today if it all goes well

[frogface 352]

argh... major problems...

i was gonig to upload today but some of the ploppables dont work anymore!

im trying to fix it but fingers crossed i can get it working soon enough.

 

[frogface 352]

ok im back from holiday!

time to bump up this thread a bit and time to

clear out  a couple of BATs i had lying around like this:

its a hospital with a road running through the middle and skywalks above it.

there is a problem though becuase in gmax it looks like this!

this'll make things really difficult. so im not too sure whether to uplaod it or not.

 

this'll be a big subway station. there is office space above the actual station but im not sure wheter it is possible to have it functional with subway station and CO jobs.

the concrete bit at the bottom will be below grade so you wont notice that.

and just in case you havent noticed that i have released the mediterranean rowhomes: https://www.simtropolis.com/lots/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=BAT&Str=Mediterranean%20Rowhomes%20updated

i just forgot to mention that on this thread.

Very nice and welcome back from your holiday.If the Subway don't work try a bus stop.

There should be no reason why you can't have both transit/network enabling (i.e. peds converting to subway etc. and the subway connected to the lot) AND have jobs. They're different sets of parameters. Have a look at the last link in my sig. It contains links to ST threads on transit/network enabling and setting jobs.

Also, have a look at brenda_xne's work. She's got working subway stations.

[Vlakhaas 13]

This is what I have done ... a 6x2 Med Res Block with 480 R$ Residents growable and it grows well ...

 

 

I downloaded the Frogface Meditiranean Prop pack ... made my own props and buildings and built the lot ...

 

One problem I do have is that of the 10 buildings in the pack only 4 was useable because the others are so far off-center from their XY Axis that they do not fit in on the narrow tile set.

 

Thanks for the buildings ... PM me if you need the names of the buildings that are not centered.

[frogface 352]

glad to see you using them!

i did realise this about the lot foundations being off centre and since it fit the lot correctly in the ploppables and growables i didn't think much about it being a problem. that shouldn't be too much trouble to change. thanks for alerting me that there was a problem with this i'll try get a fix uplaoded soon.

[Vlakhaas 13]

No problem ... what I suggest is this ...

 

First zero the building properly on the XY Axis in gMax then you must redo the LODS ... then look at the lods in FRONT and SIDE view and adjust them manually to be as tight as possible ... I wanted to do six buildings on the lot but could not because the LODS are wider than 1 tile and it made the building look weird at some angles.

 

Then when you have done the centering and the LODS and exported ... please update the PROP PACK that you did because I will only distribute DESC files and will point the users to that PROP Pack ... the buildings that are the worst are ...

 

MEDHOME 2, 3, 5, 6, 9  ... The others could do with a tighter LOD ... Please do not change MEDHOME ... the one without a number ... that is the one that is the best and the one that I used as the BUILDING in these lots ...

 

PM me once your updated PROP PACK is on the LEX ... so that I can get it before I release this LOT.

[n74704 21]

i love your rowhomes, but which file is controlling the growables?  they're destroying all of the other rowhomes.

 

btw - i used them to create a beautiful medditeranean city.

i entered this city in the camera-friendly contest, hence the watermark.

my favorite pic of the three.

 

and here is the overview

 

THANK YOU FROGFACE!!  i just stare at this city for minutes on end.

[kd5rax 82]

that is quite amazing.

[frogface 352]

amazing n74704.. like no other simcity ive seen. great usage of the lots...

now the growable is based on the euro tileset rowhouse. the reason they seem to replace the other rowhouses is because of demand. these hold bout 43 sims which is about twice of the SC4 ones and if you have high demand these are gonna replace SC4 ones. just like how skyscrapers slowly replace offic blocks.

 

vlakhaas: thanks for the list, i'll be gonig through them all and redoing LODS etc..

 

[dev 47]

Yep, One of my alltime favorite BATs Frogface Plaza Subway Station!!

[frogface 352]

ok here is my latest BAt building im working on...

its gonna be Kings Cross Station in London.

so far ive just done one of the roofs. and its a pretty big station so have much more to do.

this is a really early model so its still rough.

link to the station website:

http://www.networkrailstations.co.uk//index.cfm?fuseaction=stations.liststation&stationId=5201

 

any comments or suggestions on what ive done so far?

[Smurfer2 7]

Wow, I missed somethings from one of my favorite BAT designer and Simtropolis Member.

 

If the hopsital has a transit enabled road through the middle it will be one of the greatest SC4 hospitals of all time and if it isn't transit enabled it will still be awesome.

 

Your subway and train station are looking great. Another old and large rail station. I can't wait... (well, I can, but I will use it when it is released, just don't rush) That subway stop will quickly find a home in my cities.

Yea! This will be awesome. A hospital with cars going through it.

[frogface 352]

ok a quick update before i go to bed.

 

here ive completed the roof. i will need to copy the roof and make it next to the current one. that'll be the platform area of the station pretty much done.

here's a close of of the roof:

and heres a pic of the real station roof, sorry not the best pic so far.

 and also if you happen to have some pics any pics of the station plz post them as they will come in handy! thx

Simply amazing, keep up the good work.

[HighRiser 6]

Now this city has character. Most cities have to many skyscrapers packed so stinking tight together. You have achieved a nice blend of the old and the new.I am looking forward to more screenshots.
