Another welcome sign

[ROmeoBOT 23]

Hello!

I'm thinking of uploading a lot with a welcome sign, with custom query.

It will show the city name, current population and some more info, like today's temperature.

 

Any more suggestions? Do you people think thre are too many welcome signs already?

I believe I'm going to use BLaM's letters, whitch are not used too much.

 

How do put a picture here?

 

 

Edit: I got it!

 

Since I'm new here som help would be appriciated.

well, first,  welcome

 

second, your sign is actuality funny because of the temperature and population indicators (how tha hell do you get temperature?) so it

may have some use

 

and third, to post an image, just go to the  "image" icon on the tool bar above the text box (it looks like a tree) it will open a pop up window, where you can insert the link. alternately, you can use the following code:

 

hope it helps

Yeah I didn't know there was a temperature property in the game. 

[ROmeoBOT 23]

Well, Looks I'm the only one who found the wery well hidden temperature property game.g_temperature. :kitty:

But, to show the right temperature, I wonder if anyone knows a way to convert a game float value to integer, using math.int or math.truncate or similar? 

I tried these and the seem not be supported by the game.

 

I would like suggestions about the message, "Welcome to city", "Very welcome to city", Welcome to our fair city" and "Recent population: 12.345", "We have about 12.345 citizens", "Last count: 12.345 inhebitants".

And I wouldn't mind some translations to french, dutch, and other peculiar languages.

[Gn_leugim 853]

about that integer translation, sorry, I cant relay help there :\ but if you want Portuguese translations just say

 

regarding what type of message, well, you could try to add the name of the city to the message and have something like "Welcome to #name of city#". Also, I like "Last count: 12.345 inhebitants"

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Or "Welcome to XYZ! Population: 12345 souls and one mayor".

Hm. Thinking about this my mind begins to wander. Don't know if this is possible but it could change dependend on the major rating.

 

If rating is average:

Welcome to *name of city* major *name of major*.

Actually *xxx* citizens are living here.

 

If rating is high:

Welcome to *name of city* beloved Major *name of major*.

Actually *xxxx" citizens awaiting your advices.

 

 

If rating is low

Ave Caligula.

Actually *xxxx* citizens stand in awe of your next step.

"ROmeoBOT, ROmeoBOT, ROmeoBOT! Where For Art Thou, ROmeoBOT"..(lol I just had to say that)..

HEY looks like you've got it working! I like the "Welcome To City Name, Population: 37,494"...that's good enough for me.

Fantozzi's suggestion would REALY make this ploppable a big hit especially if the "welcome to city, population" message is followed by a dynamic message that ranges from highly recommended to a "id turn away if I were you " type of message that is driven by your city's mayor rating or something.

You 'could' make two versions like, release a first version that just displays the welcome to city , population" message then, release a second version with the dynamic changing second message as Fantozzi posted.

I cant wait to see your finished product! hope I am among the first to download!!!

The idea Fantozzi came up with was really interesting. I will have to write a LUA function for this to work, but I believe it is possible. I need to learn a bit more, I think I'll wait until the second version. 

 

Anyone who knows how I post this on the STEX?

[ROmeoBOT 23]

OK, I posted it.

Start downloading now and tell me how it works.

Luckily I spelled the sign right, but not the upload.

It's a BIG Wekcome sign...

[SimRico 968]

_{Hey ROmeoBOT! it looks PERFECTO!  ive posted pictures of it in your file download page but will post them here too! The sizeis just right too!}

 

 

 

 

I placed some 1x1 floral, greenery and a fireworks display in the centerfront so to show the size ratio.. EXCELLENT. not too big and not too small! PERFECT.

Now, I can get my population anytime without having to turn on the game menu . I can keep the screen showing just the city itself!

 

 

 

 

EDITED Post 03/23/2013 (I forgot to include the "Current Temperature Message" that also flashes on the Welcome Sign!  Great Work!

[AndisArt 2,067]

Nice! I always like things that are *w*e*l*c*o*m*i*n*g*

[SimRico 968]

I forgot to include the "Current Temperature" courtesy message that lets visitors know the temp during their drive to or through Peyton Place.  I added it to the bottom of my previous post of pics.

[SimRico 968]

_{Romeobot I forgot one last pic to feature our Welcome Sign!  Until NOW, I did not think of poppingup the Query Window. I like this!  I had to accept a 'warning' just to post this. but it was worth accepting so to display this feature (don't ask)..ok i'm done with this place (not your thread, but those dumb game rules)}
