amazing update and nice animation.

[Darmok 34]

Hola Jeroni!

First video is spectacular!

unfortunately the second one has an error on it, it says "could not download the video"!

Again an inovation! Great work amigo!

Take care

[jeronij 13]

Hi to all, I am glad you like the animations....another one is on the way....

Nik-Nik, make sure you have the Divx codec installed. There is a link to the download page in the post which contains the videos.

John/Darmok, I have just checked and I can see the second video without problems. Maybe clearing your internet temp folder would help. Anyway, I´d simply try again later. The files are hosted in a free site, and those small errors can happen...

Again thanks to all for the comments and compliments!!! Next video under development....probably later on today

First post

I have been playing Sim City since it's inception and I must say; you folks here turn this game into a work of art. I was never one to focus heavily on cheats let alone mods and B.A.T.s Since I've come here I've downloaded many many mods and add-ons and some of the most gorgeous, made-to-scale buildings I could ever imagine in a Sim City game. You manage to sculpt real-life terrains with staggering accuracy. Up until I found this site I was the "grid" type player who usually plays the game on Cheetah speed and plows through city in usually 20 minutes with the average city size of 350,000 for a big map and 500,000 on the biggest map.

After I've seen some of the work done here, I play the game slower, I take my time, map out transit lines and play the game as it was meant to be played. I must say, for what it's worth, I am truly impressed by the work you have done, Jeronij. Also, I've downloaded several of your mods and such and they serve great purpose

Great work, my friend, keep it up, I look forward to what's still to come.

 Wow Im very happy for both of you that your bridge work perfectly well . I really enjoy your video too . Amazing work as always.

Well jeronij,

    Very nice update.   Too bad I am on dial-up.   Not sure how long it would take to load the video but it sat fr 10 minutes before I gave up.    Oh well, I can't have everything.   Where would I put it.  LOL I'll keep stopping back for more.

Hello dear Simtropia  visitors, 

Not much time available now, but I said there was another video on the way, and here it comes...

The waterfalls seen from up-behind  (one of my favourites views   )

CLICK THE PICTURE TO SEE THE VIDEO IN A SEPARATE WINDOW

I´ll try to keep the videos under the 1MB size. Not always posible though. This one is 482Kb

I hope you like it. Have a nice day all  !!!

[crazychickensc12 84]

Awesome waterfalls! and great animations you have going!! wonderful work jeronij and glad you returned to this CJ!!

[teddyrised 1]

Wow jeronij I love the way you construct the river and waterfalls! I tried a few times but failed... you're a ploppable water master! And great use of the ploppable trees and plants around the river to create a very nice effect! The animations are also great! I enjoyed looking at them over and over again~

Anyways, if the animations are killing your bandwidth maybe you can upload them to fileden? Hope this helps!

[Shadow Assassin 336]

I'd love to view the videos, but even after installing the DivX codec, my web browser stops responding and eventually crashes. Any way I can fix this?

Lovely waterfalls, btw. Keep it up.

[teddyrised 1]

Argh double post so sorry jeronij!

[Nik-nik 3]

Divx codec installation no cando!

Our working PC system is closely guarded by IT department and I cannot install it without them (passwords required).

I will have to look at it at home, only if I could find the time there..........(3 kids you know, and tonight I have to attend a Ballet performance)

I love the still pics as well.

Nik-Nik

[jacqulina 162]

awesome work,the animated river and falls is very beautifull,great idea and very nice work

[BurroDiablo 222]

Damn jeronij... im envious of how smooth SC4 runs in those vids... im assuming its smoother on your PC. Makes me want to cry comparing that to the jittery cr*ppiness of my system.

Amazing work on that bridge by the way, iv'e always wondered if its possible to make a double deck bridge. Can't wait untill its on the STEX... if its going to be.

[bat 6]

Fantastic animated waterfall (+river)! Great work!

[zachos-prague 0]

Great picture, jeronij!

[wouanagaine 83]

Great anim jeronij, even the pic by itself is wonderfull. but I would have take the opposite view ie bottom-up

[rooker1 4]

Amazing CJ, awesome pics and you make incredible lots and now you can do short video.  What's going to be next?  

The waterfalls are a must have for me.  They are spectacular.  

I can't say any more, I have run out of words.

[jeronij 13]

Hello dear Simtropia visitors, 

Today is holliday in Spain, and I had the time to reply all and every one of your posts. I decided to use this table style so common lately in the CJ section, and which I find quite nice looking. It takes some time to create, but worth it.

I am sure I did not forget nobody

SIMTROPIA – 12102006 – FEEDBACK TABLE
metasmurf Resident	Yes, the waterfall lots will be released to the STEX soon. I gave them recently to the BSC team, and they will make me the favour to give them the final touches, and release them as soon as possible.
Tommy_Vercetti3 City Slicker	Thanks TV, I am glad you think this way ¡!!
jacqulina Simtrop Zealot Trixie Winner 2005	Jacqui, your endless support and feedback is always greatly appreciated, Thanks for the time you take to stop here and post some nice words.
Yoman3 Patriot	Well, I have to say that in the right context (the whole region), the snow fits quite well, and I like the touch it gives to the desert terrain I am using actually ;-D
Sagrel Local Yokel	Check metasmurf’s answer and you’ll be glad !!!
kimcar Dweller	Thanks also for your constant and pleasant support, I am glad you like this CJ so much !!!
vester_DK Suburban Legend	I´ll try to not stop ;-D
Dark Lord Stranger	Also check metasmurf’s answer ;-D. And thanks for your constant support !!!
sorchin Statesman	Thanks for your always pleasant comments. Always appreciated !!!. I am also glad you noticed the beauty hidden in that piece of city….I am sure there is a free apartment for you right there ;-D
Gaston Dweller	I gave the rocks to dedgreen, who will gently help me to release them when he has a moment. Just check the STEX from time to time…. I am sorry for the size of the videos, but I´ll try to keep them as small as possible. The last one is only 480KB ;-D ( And they open in a separate window, so you can keep (slowly) browsing the internet while it loads)
Menotyou Resident	Well, I used the standard plopable Edmonton water available in the STEX. Search for dedgreen there.
Nik-nik Urbanite	“I feel small in the sight of true mastership”, ha ha ha !!! Your comments are always funny and clever. I know what you are talking about referred to the security measures at your work. In my case, even it is a small enterprise, one of my tasks is to keep the computers up to date, and as clean effective as possible…but I am sure you will find a minute at home….maybe the last minute before go to sleep as I do ;-D … Say hello to Pim from the sunny Mallorca !!!, And about a whole day in the school…well….you will tell me in some months….;-D
ussagus Passerby	Hola amigo, always a pleasure to read you comments !!! Gracias por pasar por aquí.
mambomumba Commoner	Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco……Maaaaaaaaambo ¡!! Ha ha ha , not sure why I wrote that… It came like this to my mind ;-D. Seriously now, nice to see you again, and I hope your lost of interest is only temporal, and you´ll be back playing SC4 soon. The same happened to me some time ago, and here I am again ;-D . About your question, this is a banner created by the AVI creator I am using…I´ll have to search for a completely free one….
crazychickensc12 Patriot	Thaks for your always nice comments. Btw, is this your cat ?¿
bat City Slicker	You are also one of those unconditional CJ supporters, that ( even with your condensed ;-D posts) keeps this CJ running and alive. Thanks for your constant support !!! ( and for the link in your signature )
terrymunweihao Resident	Nice to see a new CJ´s suscriptor come so often and post so positive feedback !!!, thanks for your support and kind words !!! (and for editing the welcome to page… ;-D). I will try the link you gently posted, because when I took the actual file hosting service, I didn’t realize that 5GB/month is that few when you host 5MB pics !!!.
Nardo69 Patriot	Thanks for your nice compliments, I am glad you specially like the “viaduct” bridge…it fits nicely in the rural areas, and you can download it and use it following the link in my signature.
Mulefisk Local Yokel	Both, rocks and waterfalls, will be soon released to the STEX. Keep an eye on it ;-D
Micah Simtropolis Geek	Hi Micah, nice to see you after so long time, I’m glad you like the waterfalls, you will be able to create your own soon….
jeronij Loyalist Escultor Respetado del Río	Well, thanks for coming and blah blah blah….WAIT, are you me, or are you another jeronij ¿¿what the hell is happening here !!!
bourneid Statesman Trixie Winner 2005	Thanks for your kind suggestion, I searched for info about slices / slides, and it seems my version of PaintShopPro doesn not have this option. Anyway I searched another way, and I think the one I found with the avi files is quite good. And quick once you take the idea. I made ten videos, including the linking html pages and uploading everything (videos, pics and html docs) to the internet, in approximately one hour of time last night. I think it is a good time !!!
Rayden Suburbanite	Wow, 8Mb line !!!, your emule must burn !!! ;-D. I was thinking about the possibility to add sound to the waterfalls, but I am not sure about how to do it, and it would increase the file size….however I know you don’t mind this

[jeronij 13]

mmmm, the forum software seems to be crazy.... i tried several times to fix my last post without success, I´ll try to finish it here.

jglei701 City Slicker Trixie Winner 2004	Thanks for your feedback, I am glad you like the pics / animations !!!
aleking Celebrity Trixie Winner 2005	Well, I try to, but you make it quite difficult !!!
GMT Patriot	I cant believe it either !!! Those days, a few hours without an answer makes any CJ go to the second page without remorse !!! It is a quite animated section of this site.
SpecialEddie Urbanite	Thanks for the compliments, and I am glad you like the city…it has more work that it seems to…..
USMC Squatter	Thanks for your opinion, which I totally share by the way, and thanks for your encouragement too !!! Very kind of you.
jplumbley Commoner	I hope you will be able to play it in your own cities soon !!!
beskhu3epnm Dweller	“The way this map transitions... must have taken hours to complete. Where do you find the patience for this perfection!! This is almost hard to believe. I have to rethink the way I play SC4.......  “, I have quoted your comment because it is one of the more motivating ones lately. You said the key word: Patience. Never mind how many times I bulldoze, flatten and elevate an area until I get the look I was looking for. It is well worth it !!!. Again thanks for your really gentle comment.
Alfred.Jones Resident	I hope you came back from your shock status !!! ;-D and btw, I think your avatar is really original .
AfroThunda Urbanite	Always a pleasure to see you amigo, and glad you keep liking what you see in this CJ !!!
Darmok Dignitary	I hope the problem with the videos is solved. I really hope so. It should not happen. I revise all the links and test them before posting anything…
Delmenofph Stranger	Thanks for your first post, and even more thanks for your truly kind words. I see you are one of those players ( like myself) who deleted the word “rush” from our copy of this game ;-D
Shadow_Assassin Veteran	Hi SA, nice to see you. Well, as far as I know, there is nothing special you have to do before/after installing that codec. Are using Internet Explorer or another browser ?¿. It should not mind which browser you use because the pages are quite simple html code, but who knows…. I hope you find a way to fix it.
El Burro Squatter	Well, the game runs smooth in my notebook, (1.8 dual core, 2MB Ram, only 256MB real RAM ATI card), but in a big city tile, the more I build, the slower it goes L . Anyway, a good machine greatly improves the game !!!. About the DD bridge, it should be released by Smoncrie, in some future NAM update.
zachos-prague Squatter	Nice to see you in Simtropia, and thanks for your kind words !!!
wouanagaine Statesman Onceagain, S' ilvousplaît??	Your desires are orders, mon ami ;-D. In fact, that video exists. Just check below….

 

IdeaWorld Tourist

The lots I used for that waterfalls are shown some posts after yours.

[jglei701 8]

Jeronij, Do these effects work at all with Peg's waterfalls or just with the ploppable water?

[Alfred.Jones 2]

I came back from shock but then had a look at this update and went into shock again. This is amazing work. It is insane to see the stuff that you produce. BTW, thanks about the avatar
