Simtropolis Help Squad & Member of the Month: Article Requests & Information

[mattb325 28,899]

Hi guys - does anyone know where I could get my hands on gmax (the official site withdrew it on October 6th and I bought the game on October 10th!) I would love to be able to use BAT...any help greatly appreciated.Tx

[Voar Tok 4]

Sure, it can still be obtained (but only until the end of the year).  Visit the good people at TurboSquid , and you can get gmax.  You will have to get the BAT over at the EA site, and you will have to be registered with both EA and turbosquid for everything to work.  (Gmax is free, but it requires a registration code to activate the program).

Hope that helped!

Still glad to see there is some activity in the public forums of SHS. Your questions are liked by us, so don't hesitate to ask any help related questions here.

Edit: Just be sure to search the forums, omnibus, stex, and modding files sections of the site first before you ask a question. Many questions have already been answered.

[Hordijk 18]

We are here to help people where ever we can.
If this is by providing an answer or by simply directing them to a place where this answer has been asked and answered.
Or by saying that searching for an answer before aksing might be a better strategy.
we are here to help and you can ask us a question about everything and anytime that is simcity4 or simtropolis related

[Abc987 3]

May I please join this club? I would enjoy it... yet I doubt you would accept since many people dont know who I am...

[Hordijk 18]

I'm afraid we don't do that jrhnemo. We currently have 22 members and would like to keep it at 22 members
In previous stated post we said you could either join by invitation or when there's a sign up
from now on we will only go by invitation.

If you help the new people a lot you will end up in this squad eventually.

[Abc987 3]

Thanks for the info lots!!!!!!!!

[+Guest]

i've been reading all of the tutorials from the SHS and they're all great but there's a little request i have, just some of the stuff on the plugin manager confuzzles me (what stuff means like the numbers, the options, the values etc ) would you be able to sort this out for me?

i've tried searching and couldn't find anything, and if there is some info on this and/or this is the wrong place to put this request, feel free to flame me

[Eastwinn 6]

Are you talking about the hex values? Like the things that may look like say: 0x000000A4 or 0000FD4C. If so, then you can use the calculator the windows has. If you switch to Scientific Mode than you should see an option to switch to hexidecimal (Hex).

OK!  *Gets out flamethrower*  No, I don't like it when someone flames someone else for a simple question.  So, I'm not going to flame you.  *Puts flamethrower away*

 

The hex values can be a pain to read.  I have not figured out what all of the numbers mean, but I suggest talking to someone like DT or some other prolific BAT creator who definitely knows how to manipulate them.

Yes that is are current statoes for now. This could change e.g we could want more members and perhaps start another hireing thread but that is long term only and depends on what direction me and Hordijk (covering the squad moderation for me now) want the SHS to go in the future.

 

Also this thread is not here for SimCity 4 questions, there are plenty of area's for this discussion. This is only for directley SHS releated issues. Thank your for you co-operation.

I know you're not hiring now, but I do have one, tiny, little (stupid) question:

Is it possible to nominate a member for future consideration?

Feel free to PM me rather than cluttering up the forum.

No problem tchaos713 ask away,

I think we are not going to make that possible, I think that would make it too complicated.
I and the other SHS members will decide who get's in and who doesn't gets in.

[Compromise 1]

Yes unfortunatley Hordijk is right but thanks for the idea anyway's.

Congrats To all SHS members for winiing the Merit of team spirit award

[Hordijk 18]

I'm proud we made it in the trixies!

[Voar Tok 4]

I can share an award with some of my closest online friends.

Yes I am too.

 

This award proves that  the SHS is no longer a second class club but one that can now manage to compete with the classic squads on ST. We really have brought the Omnibus into the future.

[hym 358]

The SHS is a force to be reckoned with!!!!!  Seriously, I'm thankful that we have some official recognition and I think that this will help bolster our image.

[Hordijk 18]

You are probably missing dependencies but you could better contact the author for that

[Compromise 1]

Welcome to Simtropolis. PM me or others if you need any help.

I think Hordijk has answered your question but please note what was said earlier...

hey, um, if you can help me that'll be great.

ok, so i downloaded the columbus mod., and now when i load a city, the terrian is really high up. is there a way to fix it?

[Hordijk 18]

The Columbus mod has a little bug in it that the terrain in new regions gets way higher, there is some fix around here in the forums but I wouldn't know where that would be located so 1.. 2.. 3.. also like previous stated no to sound harsh but as stated in the first post:
