simmars-forum-threads News Ticker Brainstorming....

[Pooty 228]

We overlooked the whole news ticker issue. Everyone has been talking about the graphics of the new conversion and the new gameplay, but we DO need the news ticker re-done. If you have any ideas as to what should be put in the news ticker, please post it here.https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/1.gif>

You could have things about whats going on on earth...

I think the News ticker its Stored in a file that we can Edit with very little changing.

 

Thanks for pointing it out to ushttps://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/1.gif> *Adds to list of things that need to be done*

I had mentioned that we'll need to change much of the text, but this is something just about anyone can do, so I didnt make it a brainstorming priority, however, if you want to use this thread to brainstrom, I will change it's title and pin it. just let me know.

Here is one- instead of missle launch today, what about Warning: Alien Invadershave been spotted! or something similar to that?

-he sees you!

[Daeley 46]

actually changing text is not a big deal

 

I could even add a few news messages or change a few new ticker conditions if you'd like that...

[GouRou 2]

we know it's easy, but what will the hundreds of messages be changed TO? that is what is being considered here.

Marvin the wonder martian arrested in anti-bunny protest.

I wonder if there's a way to acess the SC3000 game code to make part of this. Because that news ticker would be perfect. Except maybe the color and font could be changed (I know the color would be possible because you could do that with the SC3000 scenario editor). So maybe could parts of different games be spliced together?

In honor of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars books:

Little red people found building microscopic towns in Sim Colonist's ears: Sims mildly disgrunted

We really need a lot of stuff that's very reminiscent of SC3K's ticker: strange, off-beat, and a lot of useless humor.  https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/1.gif>
