ahh!!! more maps?!?!?

i fixed the omnicorps map in the addon patch i put on stex. i also edited my previous post above so you can see what i'm talking about. *sorry about giving you the map mod without omnicorp (and with a broken hong kong).

@globexco* what's with the zz_layers file? wouldn't the original do? that's what i've been editing anyway....just curious

awesome job again wyllman

The Sandbox mod uses a different function to work, I need to update that function with new map info...

People at GC also solved the compatibility with their pakunpak mod... will be included in version 3 (same thing for your addon patch).

Thanks

[jazyje 1]

So, overall, what's the difference between mod v1 and v2?

Thanks GlobexCo!!!

about the button, i did it!!!! scaling Y axis but the botton saw soo well.

SCALEFORMMGR: DoActionScriptWithArg("REGIONSELECT","ChangeAttribute",RedistribucionY)

Modders at GenerationCity wanted to know the exact function modified and the exact file...

Can you post here those info?

[povis123 0]

I want know too

[Tanzy70s 0]

thanks to all this mod is fantastic:-)))))

A question:

Can new buildings be created as on simcity4?

[wyllman 0]

I did it again!!!!

Basically if you want move "Proyecto"("Region7") button, you must add the function:

RedistribucionX = RedistribucionX..".WholeMovie.Region7|_x|400"

RedistribucionY =  RedistribucionY..".WholeMovie.Region7|_y|40"

SCALEFORMMGR: DoActionScriptWithArg("REGIONSELECT","ChangeAttribute",RedistribucionX)

SCALEFORMMGR: DoActionScriptWithArg("REGIONSELECT","ChangeAttribute",RedistribucionY)

all of this in data/interface/panels/regionselect/regionselect.lua ----->>> function REGIONSELECT:Init()

to "define" new region you must change:

data/interface/panels/regionselect/regionselect.lua

data/design/script/interface/mapsavmgr.lua

data/design/script/interface/sololist.data

data/localization/en/interfacehints.en

If someone need more help to "define" regions or move that "movie clip" tell here.

So here's the plan:

Add 5 blank slots.

Provide tutorials so that people can create their own map.

Compile a "map manager", a user-friendly program to edit lua files and manage custom maps.

Great plans for the future... few modders.

Ok... when everything is ready I'll tell you everything (that's the last step - first we need to complete the others!)

Anyway, I wish the "mod updater" can be finished soon - it's really important!

Initial points from unlocker v2 plus the Kiwi patch.

First things first - I really love it. The safe swimming zone which actually plops sharks in your water is a beautiful touch.

Issues so far:

Blueprint seaport doesn't seem to work. It insists on being placed entirely on water and then has the temerity to complain that it isn't linked to the city hall by road.

New wind farms (new building plus zoning tool) are not economically viable - they're both costing me 39,999 per turn, whereas a single turbine costs max of 500. Since the zone is of a limited size, you can't get 80 turbines in a zone and therefore it really doesn't stack up. Likewise the single building doesn't seem to generate 80 turbines' worth of power and therefore seems to make little sense. Any chance of a cost tweak to both?

Water - the small water tower costs nothing to build, but then 5k per turn. The big one costs 15k to build, then 5k per turn. Doesn't seem to stack up.

Great work wyllman, as usual!

Thanks for testing:

shipyard is bugged... MC didn't finish it and I don't know if I can do something for that!

Costs and other thing like this can be changed - added in the list for version 3.

[mr-tom 2]

Cool. Will do something more comprehensive on Saturday - will try to build every blueprint, landmark etc in a new test city. Planning to use Peninsula this time as it will give a good blend of terrain types.

(edit) Will keep editing thos post for now in the same way that I did last week to list any issues I identify prior to that.

Started by just plopping blueprints in the order that they are on the menu.  Haven't actually been through and started building specific stages yet.

*Session 1*

Went well until I got to the great pyramid of Giza, at which point, CTD.

*Session 2*

Completed the blueprints already commenced.  Avoided Giza and moved on.  Tokyo TV Tower causes CTD when built, just like Giza.

*Session 3*

It's still opening the Avatar editor each time I launch, although it is now easier to quit it again.

Got as far as Meji shrine - then I got the bug which hangs the menus but still allows you to move around your city, watch it progress etc.

*Session 4*

Last one for tonight.  Second attempt to place Meji Shrine succeeds - so maybe this isn't building specific, but instead based on how many blueprints you're currently building or have placed this session, or even the current price of tea in China.  However, placing Ankor Wat caused immediate CTD.

Not all placed blueprints have yet been compeltely built, although of those I have started, all have successfully completed.  Not all blueprints have yet been placed - working from the leftmost end of the blueprint menu, I have reached Ankor Wat, placing everything except those I have already mentioned cause CTD.

Next update tomorrow night at the earliest.

[kiwispanker 1]

@mr-tom: great work! that's a detailed list you're keeping.
@wyllman: awesome job, again. this is going to open up a new phase in maps
@jeremy12: i've been following your posts on the updater tool. that looks really amazing and can't wait. it would be a great addition to our set of tools.

*****
also, i just threw these two buildings in with the addon patch (the college was added with the first patch; the fire station was added with the updated version)
 

 

what do you guys think the attributes should be for these new buildings. i made the college give a price discount for all of the industries (instead of just one per building like those specialty universities). is it too much?
also, the fire station looks slightly strange because there really isn't any garages. but hey, what else was i to do with a building just sitting around doing nothing?
let me know what you guys think and i'll make sure the updates either get in any later hotfixes or in the version 3 of unlocker mod.

[mr-tom 2]

You could always call it the polymath college.

Another bug: for some reason, I can't place oil producing builings anywhere (except the oil rig.). Also, the oil well zone seems to be disappeared. The only thing I can place is an oil rig, which gives me a huge load of money (from C100K per turn to over C700K per turn).

Sounds strange... I can't see this bug. Can you post a screenshot of the menu and the building?

Thanks also to mr-tom.

[MandelSoft 2,769]

My bad. It seems I've forgotten that I played on a map with no oil. Probably placed the oil wells in Sandbox Mode. Still it may be worth to take this issue under review. The oil zones disappear, but the other buildings don't, sugessting that their is oil on this map. Might confuse people like me.

Anyway they did develope something.

For example they created class files for all the gembeach models (for example houses on the sea), they created animations for trains and completed the chinatown pack... this is enough

edit: don't know - you can try to use blockquote...
