NDEX Announcements and Updates

[ardecila 124]

Yeah, but with your output, it would qualify as a full-blown renderfarm!

[DuskTrooper 314]

Well..with school and stuff, my output will probably fall...

Oh well, like I said, there are other NDEXers.

[Brenda_Xne 46]

Welcome back Dusk and Frog!!

[Equinox 1,209]

Since your processor seems to outperform mine to the extent that your 512 MB RAM computer could almost render buildings faster than my PC, Dusk, it'd be interesting to see how long it would take your 1-GB-equipped computer to give things like the Liberty Tower a shot (the Taipei is just too big, I'm guessing, for you to be patient enough to have exported, lol).

[DuskTrooper 314]

Hmm..I'll see, as long as it does not test my mom's patience, lol!
Turn that computer off NOW!

Announcement... NDEX Reached 200,000 Downloads.

Its a biggie. We've been waiting for it...look in the thread to see how weve been keping track...

Lets say just how much I love NDEX. From the IntreGen Release, I loved all the buildings and lots you put together. It was worth playing SC4 all over again after a long break. Your buildings mean alot... And if you didn't know now, you know that I rated a 10 on every single Equinox/ NDEX/ Somy Release.

 

Don't worry... keeping this pace up will get you to 300,000 in no time. It has been a big success and I know that everyone of you NDEXer's put in alot of hard work during this time. And to all you NDEX supporters out there. Thank you for getting NDEX to what it is today, With fans of NDEX, its what keeps the Team going.

 

Once again, Everyone here has done an excellent job and I am proud to be a part of it. So lets get down and party!!

[Chris M 406]

 Awesome Accomplishment, I am one of the fans that keeps this team going. We will reach 300,000 soon, you can guarantee it. Keep the awesome work everyone at NDEX.

[Superstar 69]

WooHoo! Great work all NDEXers We sure did a fine job even though it may have slowed down a little in the past few months

[rubberduck 3]

Go NDEX! It's your birthday! We gonna party like it's your birthday!

Congrats all members of NDEX! Let's keep up the good work!

[Equinox 1,209]

I'm back now ... and going to go to the University of Washington. 
Thanks for the compliments, guys ...

[rubberduck 3]

Congratulations! Will you be online just on the weekends or all the time now?

[GaryReggae 80]

Congratulations!  It's good to see you back! 

[BarbulaM1 38]

Congradulations EQ. Hope ya have fun there. and welcome back too.

[fosterk 4]

Awesome! With a bit of quick maths, here and there, I'd say, we roughly have been clocking.. wait for it 1389
Downloads a day, as an average.

That's astounding, compared to the last 100,000 downloads, that's quite literally; a flash. For the first 100,000, it took about six months, yet this 100,00, took 72 days, or just over 2 months.

If our downloads keep multiplying at this rate, we should see 300,000 before summer![]

Great job, everyone! I now urge everyone to try to finish off their projects, that seem to have, well, died a little bit. I, for one, will try to finish off the London Eye and NSS Equinox, as they will be big download bringers for NDEX. Keep it up everyone, and lets get the release-speed up again!

[greyveil 37]

Congrats Brethren! This is indeed a glorious day! I humbly bow before the awe that is NDEX!

[DuskTrooper 314]

Well, we'll reach that point much faster..if we start releasing stuff again!

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

Welcome back EQ, we missed you!

This lot comes as a ploppable and a growable CO

[GaryReggae 80]

Wow, great Skyscraper Dusk!

I've got a couple of projects that are both 90% finished so hopefully when I eventually finish them, they'll bring in lots of downloads! Trouble is, that last 10% of the work seems to take 90% of the time!

Back on topic, Very nice new building dusktrooper!!! Just downloaded it! And GaryReggae, cant wait fro them. Been following your television centre and it's very cool!

[Equinox 1,209]

Well, I have begun work on the first beta of the tweaking tutorial, and it's up for feedback and suggestions (other than the fact that it needs more pictures; I know that already) on what's done so far.

At the moment, only part 1 of the tutorial is uploaded in what I'd consider a near-finished state, but nonetheless, it covers giving lots realistic properties via the Plugin Manager. I think it's important for all uploaders to realize how skewed the values the PM generates are, so that's why I'm posting a link in the first place.

Feedback can be posted here for now (I'm not nearly ready to start a dedicated thread quite yet). Suggestions, please!

[GaryReggae 80]

That is extremely useful EQ!  I really could have done with such a guide when I started BATting but there was nothing really.  Fantastic work!

[DuskTrooper 314]

The ZhangGhee Corporate Center is now live on the STEX!

Description:

The Zhang Ghee Corporate Headquarters Tower was built to accomodate many expanding businesses due to the rapid expansion of the economy in SimAsia. The tower is named after the CEO of Zhang Ghee Corporation, none other than Zhang Ghee himself.

Zhang Ghee Corp. specializes in banking, finances, and related matters, and is one of the top comapnies in SimAsia. The company's stock ticker symbol in the SimAsia Stock Exchange is ZHGHI.

This lot comes in both a ploppable and a growable CO

[fosterk 4]

Awesome! Nice to see if out after all those problems

[Equinox 1,209]

^ I agree! ^
I guess the STEX doesn't like the x-space-z-h combination, or something

[Mickele Macon 2]

I'm glad to see you and NDEX still putting out quality bats.  I'm going to install this in my cities as we speak.  Thanks for making all your stuff RCI Ploppable.  I appreciate all you do.  Im moving to nyc and will be without my computer so this last week I'm working on making my city as much as possible.  Thanks again for this great building.

The Grand Aqua Mall has been released!

 

 

 

Description:

The Grand Aqua Mall is a smaller upscale shopping complex.  It has everything from vendors selling perfumes to the candy shop with 3,244 different candies.  Its unique architecture shows great inspiration from the designer: with the glass and metal-framed structure, simple means beautiful.

---

This lot is provided as a ploppable CS~{!l!l~} and a growable CS~{!l!l!l~}.  The ploppable costs ~{!l~}52,000 to plop, provides 472 jobs, gives a landmark effect of +16 over a 55-tile radius, and gives a Mayor Rating boost of 10 over a 40-tile radius.  The growable is a stage 4 part of the Houston and Euro tilesets, providing 186 jobs and giving a tax revenue of ~{!l~}28.50 per month (at 7% tax).  Both lots are 4x4 tiles.

STEX Dependancy: CARCH Texture Set V5

This lot uses the NDEX standard query.  Please read the file titled READ ME.txt included in this download for information on how to properly set up the file in your plugins folder.  All files related to the query are included in each download that uses them.

Thanks to Superstar for the model,
and to Rubberduck for help with the lot!
