wonderfull work i have downloaded it allready and i eagerly await more of your fantastic work

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Having built some big and detailed lots (not yet released) myself, I can guess just how incredibly much work and time must have been spent on placing and arranging all those props, not to mention the thought that went into the layout of the complex. Congratulations on this lot! This is really about as good as lots can get, which is seriously good.


EDIT

Hey, I just saw jasoncw's Mary Arms Building on that corner in one of the pics, so there's also a bit of my work (I did the lot work and modding) shown!

[Andreas Roth 607]

@T Wrecks: I also spotted Mathe Man's wind tunnel. And since I also spent quite a lot of time with the Lot Editor, I can imagine the amount of work that has gone into a lot of this size. It looks very realistic and well crafted, excellent work (and definitely worth the amount of additional dependencies ).

[dyoungyn 5]

Masterplanman,

 

Your work is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.  You are a god.  Can you please send me the files to:

 

dyoungyn@yahoo.com

 

I have to have your port.  I watch your site Glen Habor on a daily basis and it just blows me away everytime I view your thread. 

 

I beg you, please send me the files.

 

Don

[Voar Tok 4]

Once again, it looks good man!  You definitely have the talent to do so!

[Dupontfan24 0]

If it's not too uch trouble I'd like to request some of your lots. they're the ones with the red x's. Along with the ones with the x's I'd like to get the ship building lots and the chemical plant. In the following picture what water mod are you using?

 

 

in the previous picture I'd like to get the ones with the x's as well, even though I have a hospital ship hikawamaru lot, but Id like to make my own with a hospital on the lot, and yours would be a perfect base for mine.

 

Thnaks alotand keep up the great work

[MasterPlanMan 1]

Thanks everyone for the complements!

Dupontfan24 ~ Most of those lots are not available yet. Anyway I sent you a PM with the link to the Palmer Shipbuilding lots. The Chem Plant you will get on the next upload ~ which might be awhile but I'll make sure you get it.

Anyway folks I will be spending the next few weeks working on the Modular Amusement Park Project. Be sure to check out my work there or in my new CJ Ampark City. Just scroll down to my sig for the links.

 

In the meantime I was hoping some of you might load up some pics of how you used the lots in your cities. That would be cool!

 

Here is a preview of how my lot-making is shaping the look of the MAPP:

MPM: hey, thanks alot for the ship building lots, as for the other I have no problem waiting for these awsome lots.

Also, welcome to SYM_Productions, I'm one of the lotters there, now I 'll have to work even harder to make my lots look good, since you'll be making great ones!

[jeronij 13]

Hello MPM,

 

I just wanted to say you congratulations for the great and incredible rail yard !!!. It is really awesome. I only hope that something that hapened to me does not happen to you. When I was making some custom lots for my old airport in SCR, I arrived to a point where the lot did not accept more props. There was no warning message. Only when I reopened a saved custom lot, many props and textures were missing. Since this time I always save several times any big custom lot I work with. Of course I just keep the last one

 

Btw, some of GH ships can be seen today in Simtropia

[davidchomes 0]

Great job on the train yard.

One problem though. I do not see any of the parked train cars after I place it. What am I missing.

Thanks!

[Swamper77 90]

David,

You need BSCBATProps jestarr Vol07 from the STEX. You also need Rush Hour to use BAT content and transit-enabled lots, such as this one.

-Swamper77

[MasterPlanMan 1]

jeronij ~ Thanks ~ maybe I'll get to see it in Simtropia! As for the LE I already had that happen to me. What I did was remove the lot from the plugins folder and opened up the LE. After viewing a file or so I closed out the LE and moved the lot back into the plugins folder. This worked very well.

davidchomes ~ Swamper is right on. If you have any more troubles please feel free to post them.

 

Swamper ~ Thanks for helping out!!!

OK here are some pics of my latest lot. It is designed to fit in with the MAPP. It will probably be a special release though as the lots for the MAPP need to be more user friendly and flexible. This lot will still be the basis for the upcomming monorail stations for the project.

 

Southgate Monorail Station with eye candy Maxis buildings: This station is transit enabled to work in conjunction with the PED mall tiles from the NAM.

[Andreas Roth 607]

@MasterPlanMan: I took a closer look at your railyard and freight station lot today, and I found some things that should be added/corrected in your lot. First of all, there are two street textures missing on the lot (it's not a Maxis texture, as you stated in the STEX comments). Please open the lot in the Analyser/Importer in SC4Tool, select it in the list on the left side and open the dependencies tab. As you can see in the second screenshot, there are two texture IDs that are missing on my system; when you scan the lot, the appropriate filenames should show up. I also think the transit switch properties should be adjusted a bit, please refer to the third screenshot how to set them up properly.

[Swamper77 90]

Andreas,

The texture pack is Ftexture.dat which can be found here: http://tokitoko.hp.infoseek.co.jp/lot_tex&bat.htm . It gets updated from time to time as well. The site is NOB's website.

-Swamper77

 

 

[MasterPlanMan 1]

Thank you Andreas! I am glad you took the time to do this.

I will change the transit switch right away. I really thought they where maxis textures as they matched up with the streets perfectly.
That SC4 tool sure is awesome!!!

Swamper ~ thanks so much for saving me some time!!!!!!!. Now I am off to update the file.

Thanks again you guys!

[pnorrell 4]

Hi MPM,

Maybe I should post over in the amusement park thread? Anyway, since you posted pics here... I like the park gate w/monorail station idea. Looks like the entrance to the real Magic Kingdom. Peg's gatehouse looks perfect for the job. Don't forget, he's got the Portico de Gramado too, which looks about the same but is green.

 

However, why clutter the lot with functionless Maxis buildings? It makes it look like something slapped together and uploaded to the SimCity.com exchange. An amusement park entrance needs a bus lane, kiosks and vending carts, 1-2 storey shops and restaurants, mascots in giant foam rubber costumes, ticket queues, fountains, flags and tons of open space to handle huge crowds passing through on foot, not to mention some discreet fencing and security to make sure people go through the ticket gate to get in.

 

My 2 cents... Keep up the good work!

[Andreas Roth 607]

@Swamper77: Thanks for pointing me to the texture file. I already had it installed, but obviously an outdated version.

@MPM: You're welcome. Actually, it was GoaSkin who mentioned that the transit switching didn't work right, but since he can't use SC4Tool with his Mac, he asked me for looking what's wrong. He also informed me that it works fine now.

[MasterPlanMan 1]

pnorrell ~ I here you about the maxis buildings. I already made some changes to that lot and toned it down a bit. I will post some pics in a little while. Remember this station gate is for the hotel & condo district and will be an add-on release to the pack. I am also workiing on the main gate which is going to have all the things you mentioned we are even adding lighted letter sign poles to indicate the parking sections. I'll check out Portico de Gramado as well but these gates are only temps we are going to BAT our own.

Andreas ~ thanks! ~ I will shoot him over a PM and thank him personally. You were still a great help though as I now know what I was doing wrong with the switching so all my future lots now will be perfect. I also added switches so trucks can pass straight through. Before the tool came out I used to just cut and paste the maxis switches so I never had any problems.

[JaneJacobs 1]

So do I need to download the freight yard again? If so can I get a new link?
Or if that last pic of Andreas Roth's shows how everything should be set then I can just do that myself to the version I've already downloaded...

[MasterPlanMan 1]

JaneJacobs ~ downloding the updated station would be fastest because its such a small file. Just copy and paste it to your plugins folder and you should get a prompt asking if you want to replace the file.
Utilizing the SC4 tool would give you some practice so its up to you. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

[MrCinatit 30]

that freight yard is something i've been looking for a while, MasterPlanMan - great work.

[DJGspinNhitz 7]

MPM

wow ur lots are great! The railyard is awesome (I love RR stuff), something that was really needed in SC4. the night light effects are well, unbelievable.

Could you let me know when or if the ship yard would become available!

thanks for adding such cool stuff to the game!

[choco1 4]

MPM, your rail yard is astounding! And I have to say, that night enhanced is such an understatement! They look amazing!

Is it just me or are your street lights alot brighter than usual? How did you do this, can we download a mod of that or something? And I just love your multi coloured lights.

Great work my friend!

Hi, MasterPlanMan. Love you work, it is beautiful.  '); height=20 alt=Insert smilie src=https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/44.gif width=33 border=0>

However, I have one question.  This is a test I ran in game to test the function of the station. As you can you see in the picture (sorry, too new to the post, don't know how to put photos in the post), the passenger station (P_station) close to the residential area (top left) cannot see both P_stations to the right side of the Freight station (F_station).  Even though I can see P-trains run through the F_station, but my passengers have to walk all the way from the P_station to the left side of the F_station to the one at the right side, in order to get to the other side of the town.  I had all the Bat and props (only missing the Maxis BAT)--oops, looks like I missing some industrial building too. I just got the game :-)

Is this a BUG!!??? '); height=15 alt=Insert smilie src=https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/6.gif width=15 border=0> or I need to Maxis Bat for the train to be able to see each other?

Thanks for your great work.

 

 

[Swamper77 90]

NightlyCity,

Re-download the lot. This issue regarding the passenger trains not going through the lot has been fixed.

NightlyCity ~ sorry for the inconvenience!

Swamper ~ Thanks again for your help!. Its an honor to have you lurking around and posting.
