simmars-forum-threads SIM MARS continued works

[Mary miller 40]

Well hello everyone. I see alot of new names. I am going to be doing some bats and designs for the Mod Sim Mars  Beta 3 release. 

My first step will be drawings

second step will be creating the bats them selves. 

 

I am starting from the ground up since it has been a number of years since I have done any thing with simcity at all. 

 

I am back and I am here to stay untill this wonderful site is gone. 

[Lawrence Taylore 1]

I'm a big fan of the Sim Mars design, I've relotted many of them over into more terrestrial lots.

Look forward to your work

This is my origina drawing of my mars tower. I will be putting this in Bat form. The top will be a dome I cant draw those yet. This is an eight sided building and will be 30 floors high. I have another tower drawing in the works which will be called TerraFirma Apartments. Same basic design with some small changes and coloring. Coming soon.

 

[Mary miller 40]

 

A newer drawing started of same Tower not finished but you get the main idea 

 

[Mary miller 40]

Sneak peak at the new tower.

The windows are more oval door has key card panel to enter building offering safety. This building will be 4 sided instead of 8. My next one may be five. The blue sticky note lol are figures I will be toying with. Lighting will also be different for this building. No dome at the top. Ill be adding what we call roof junk.

At last, fresh air for SimMars! Thick, Martian, full of CO₂ air, of course

Looking forward for the rest

In my continued testing of the mod 3 is seems that the farming sector still needs more work. But will tackle that later. I want to get three of my prev projects compleated. And in place in the mod. Ill be looking for two more programs ill need a map creation program as well as ilive reader if its still available. I dont quite understand the plugins editor have been unable to figure out how its used or how to use it. 

 

I dont remember using it before.  I did see all my prev work still on the stex so I did download it.

Avoiding double post

I really thought SimMars was long dead!

Right now, if anyone knows how to add a custom intro / overwrite the Simcity default intro video then I have made a new one for SimMars.

 

But yeah, good work everyone!!

[Mary miller 40]

Thanks I'll have to see if I can find someone. I am relearning stuff. 

[Mary miller 40]

Well I am at a standstill. I cant seem to find an understandable tutorial on how to create a lattice. 

[FlyHigh 167]

Mary Miller, there is a familiar name I haven't seen in years! How have you been? 

I'm glad to see you back. 

[Mary miller 40]

Sent you a PM. Yes been a while. Have to relearn everything. Forgot how to do much of what I used to do. Lol 

[Clawing 2]

*Kicks slowly dying thread*

 

So, if anyone is still interested in this I could be of help as a very new and inexperienced building-maker-person.

 

(By this I mean that it's gone 1 in the morning, I'm very sleep deprived and acting irrationally, and I have a dumb idea to attempt to learn how to bat before i go to sleep today. I assume that's what 'batting' means, otherwise I have this all wrong. Anyway, I haven't even looked into how to do this, and may need help as I don't want to get lost in SimMars threads from 2004/5.)

 

So, again, if anyone is still interested, then tell me because I don't want to see my favourite mod for my favourite game die.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Sorry folks forgot I made this thread.

 

So I have not been able to get a responce regarding this mod. However I see no harm in creating new custom content for the mod. 

Believe the mod exists here on the STEX if not I will post a link to the new site.

 

It is still my intention to bring this mod back to life. 

 

More info to come.

I dont know anyone just yet. 

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

This bad boy here is getting turned into either a command base or a water treatment plant.

The one behind it is going to be a farm lot. 

Two old models that were not placed on lots yet. 

I have one more model that will need to be placed on a lot as well.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/simmars/downloads

here is the link for the Sim Mars Mod installer. I believe this allows Sim Mars to run independent from SC4 which is suppose to allow you to go back and forth between the two.

 

yes indeed the installer does allow for the mod to run independent from SC4 so you can switch back and forth. 

 

you can also get the terraformed version from

http://www.moddb.com/mods/simmars/addons

from the above link. 

just in case these can't be found here on the STEX allready...

 

 

here are the other two domes that did not get lotted before my leave.  front right one and left back one. These will most likly be turned into farms 

 

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

A new lot is currently in production. Look for it soon.

[Terring 6,473]

Looking for it

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

 

MARS COMMAND CENTER

[rsc204 21,805]

I only recently tried out the SimMars mod, after someone was having problems making it work. However, I do hope to spend some time with it in future, it seems very intriguing. I was also delighted to see just how much of the base game the original team had managed to replace. I know this must have taken a lot of hard work.

So it's great to see some continued developments, the command centre lot is looking good. I hope to see more updates in future.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Still no word on if this mod is going to be continued on to beta4 from the creator so I am guessing that this is a dead end for them. So here is what I would like to do. Id like to revive this mod back here at its original home base where it began. I am currently working on farms and a few other bats for this Mod.

 

I believe in my city journal which I will copy here the transportation stuff needs some real fixing. some of them have been disabled and in need of texturing as well as NAM implementation again I will recopy the post here. I don't know anything about how to reinable what was disabled. 

 

Avenues were disabled along with a few others. If anyone would like to help me get this to Beta4 I would welcome your help. also someone mentioned in my city journal about creating some CAM lots for it. I am not sure if beta3 would handle that at this time but then again I don't know much about that aspect of Modding. As I have had to do some fancy work to get the mod to work on my 8.1 system. Its works perfect on my XP but with 8.1 i have had to copy the files over to the plugins directory and use the Simcity Launcher mod to run the Mars Mod. 

 

I welcome anyone who would like to help. I have been trying to get in touch with the creator from the other site and have no replys back at all. 

 

running the mod myself the sections needing the most work are AG and Transportation. there seems to be enough comercial and residential and industrial. High tech industrial however could use more lots. there are two few of them to make a good play at a high tech city. 

 

my own projects are

AG Farming

Schools ie more labs for scientific study 

High Tech industrial

 

areas needing the most help since it is beyond my area is the transportation

Avenues

re-enabling  disabled transportation options which I will have a list soon...

 

Main goals for the next release are:
- creating and modding new automatan models (vehicles)
- implementing NAM elements (Network Add-on Mod)
- replacing avenue and one way texture

this is from their site the goals that were suppose to be worked on for the Beta4 release.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Found 2 more models tucked away on an external drive that i made 10 years ago. Lots never got uploaded...

This one will not be released taking a closer look at the model itself it was poorly made to begin with and it is not seated right. this will be recreated. Im not sure if this buidling had lights or not. 

This one will be released as another water storage lot. if my memory serves me right it did have night lighting. I will further test this lot to see if it does...

 

Soon as I determine if these lots work they will be released and the props added to the prop pack. Who knows maybe i have more hidden away...lol

 

[Terring 6,473]

At last, more SimMars stuff!

You didn't contact me. You are welcome to create content for SimMars, but things Beta 4 would still have to be run by me. I'm still the team lead here. As for Beta 4, like it was before, if there are enough people creating content then we can talk about it. Until then this won't be a one man show. Beta 4 goals were already laid out in another thread as well.

sorry could not find you. at the moment i am not working on sim mars... doesnt seem to be any intrest or at least not enough intrest. I recently got married and have not had the time to work on anything. Ill contact you when i can start work again....

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Wethy Towers for the Mars project.....

Three different Lot sizes

Medium Wealth R$$

2x3

3x3

4x4

I am working on the Earth Version for the regular game.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

ok so i have been attempting to play Sim Mars again. Finding transportation a bit frustrating.. there is raised rail but i cant seem to find a station to hook it up. Speedways are useless to me considering i cant run rail over it even though its ground speedways.. 

@andisart do or did you guys have plans for the raised rail and a station to hook it to?

 

 

[vivarenedius 9]

wow

[timcravey 168]

In response to your question about elevated rail -- yes. There were two stations for e-rail. I'm sure I still have them if anyone is interested in releasing them. I don't have the time myself but would be happy to share unreleased content with other team members to work with. Naturally one ought to try contacting Renedius and any other designers that created these BATs but they were all freely given to the team and so are available to be released under the SimMars brand. Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Who is running this show now?
