Raccoon City
a CJ by Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya

Welcome to my second CJ. This CJ is about the creation and the development of a new city : Raccoon City. Some may have heard of Raccoon City before but the CJ will show how the city started, so it's well before the sad events that made this city known to some occured. However, it'll be shown the precursor events that made the dreadful fate of this city happening.

1.1- Here is what the city looks like from the region view. [All pictures hosted off-site]


1.2- And the transportation view.



1.3- Now about the region. This region is HUGE. I usually play with fairly small regions like the default Fairview region. But this time, I want to do different. It's so big it would take me like 10 years to build all the region (I'm a slow builder!). Here is the complete region. The region is called Tzaikotona

Holy Crap, thats a huge map! []

[Superchan 23]

looks good, why did you use such a big map, is that going to take up the entire map, or are you planning to create more cities.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I recognise that map. It is Dornelles River by Mcsquishy! I made a CJ on that map but it kinda failed...

[ExiL3 10]

hehe cool raccoon city... someone will have to make the umbrella corp. buildings then
Well keep it up!

[Maranello575 5]

I was gonna mention the umbrella corp.It would be to make it like the film.

[RadioheadFan 1]

Wow, that map is one of the largest I have ever seen. Looks like this CJ will be one to follow.(booksmarks and subscribes)

Thanks a lot for your replies.

superchad : I was searching the STEX for a good map and came accross this one. I was searching for several rivers and also some coastal tiles, the size of the region was less important for me. So this region was exactly what I was searching for. I will surely create other cities, but for the moment, I'll keep the focus on Raccoon City. So don't expect to see regional updates because for the moment there will be only one city and it's on a large tile, so it'll be large enough to keep me busy for some time. Also, I won't fill up the entire map, I'm not that crazy

The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz : Yes, this is exactly this region. The map has a lot of downloads on the STEX, so it's possible other people recognise this map. I just hope it won't go through the same fate as yours CJ

ExiL3 and Maranello575 : I was thinking about doing a request for the Umbrella Corp. research center in the BAT request thread. But I don't remember too much how it looks like. I searched a little on Google but I didn't find a lot of pictures. But what I'm sure of that's gonna be a huge industrial complex in my city only for Umbrealla Corp, that's why the city is on a large map. I still have to find where it'll be in the city.

RadioheadFan and kingofsimcity : Thanks a lot for your comments, and yes, this map is really big


2.1- Here are more detailled pictures of the raw transportation layout (for the moment, only the main arteries (avenues) have been built and a couple of local streets too). I wonder how it will look when there will be building and parks around.



2.2- I was highly inspired by the CJ of Marrast for this bridge :


2.3- A strange intersection, I wonder how traffic will be there later


That's it. Expect another update on the industrial zone later this afternoon.
Thanks again for your comments!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I hope it doesn't. It looks good. And don't bother with my full name, jeroni calls me Muzz because he didn't like writing it out in full so you can too. It looks a bit like his CR. The way it is all planned out before building. And I hope there are no zombies...

[RadioheadFan 1]

It does look a bit like SCR, doesn't it? I likw how you zoned your residential so that it is realistic e.g. you have low density beside medium density to create rowhouses and bungalows/2 stories, like in real life. Great job.

[Kent B. Rong 0]

Well, actually the Umbrella HQ is Toronto

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

RadioheadFan and Muzz : Yes, I was inspired by jeronij CJ and also by Marrast CJ. But I will stay with my style too. I usually plan the highways and avenues before building but this time, I also planned the railways, wich I don't usually.

Oh and Muzz, that's ok, it doesn't bother me that much because I just do copy-paste of usernames.


Kent B. Rong : Hehehe, I was thinking of something similar for the end . Also, thanks for the info, I didn't know that.


So here is the first -still undevelopped- industrial zone layout. A good industrial zone is never realistic if there is not tons of rail IMO.

3.1- Here is the freight station area

3.2- The power plant area

3.3- And an overview of the area
http://membres.lycos.fr/ragegrandtheftauto3/images/sc4/raccooncity/002.jpg align=baseline>


3.4- Oddly enough, it's the first time I use elevated rail in a city, and I still never used monorail, so that's why I went a little crazy with the elevated rails.
http://membres.lycos.fr/ragegrandtheftauto3/images/sc4/raccooncity/003b.jpg align=baseline>

3.5- I know the general direction of the rail, but I won't built it before the roads are built because I build the rails according to the roads.

3.6- I love messy -but functionnal- jonctions with rails. I'm proud of this one. The diagonal tracks are those seen in the industrial zone.

[RadioheadFan 1]

Wow, I could never get a transit system that well-done, as hard as I try. I like your use of the elevated rail system, it fits in with the system.

[Mikeaut1 261]

I love Resident Evil! Can't wait to see Raccoon City, and maybe see it nuked!

[Chris M 406]

            Awesome ! A CJ from Resident Evil, Racoon City is basically Toronto so will you be using  the Toronto BATs found on the official Site ?

[Maranello575 5]

Isn't it possible to place a road under the bridge but not making a tunnel?

[Chris M 406]

Cool, a CJ for Resident Evil, Raccoon City is basically Toronto except its changed a little will you be using the Toronto BATs found on the official site ?

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

There is a Mod on the stex somewhere but its only eyecandy, not a functional road

[timotheus4 39]

Intersting, I shall be watching this. Are you still doing Pitchilaikan?

[Quack 0]

Wow... I really love your transit system... totally forgot about the bridges on how you make 'em. They look a lot better than the regular ones.

[NYM1980 3]

Not that it really matters much, but actually the Toronto City Hall was used as the Racoon City Hall, not the Umbrella Corps Headquarters.  The Canadian Trade Center (Where the Canadian National Exhibition is located), was used at the end of the movie as one of Umbrella Corps Buildings.  One of their Research Facilities perhaps?

[+Guest]

Raccoon City! Wow, that's cool. I want to see more pics of it! Your transportation layout is cool. Love to see more CJs with good looking road system ( i don't like when the roads looks like old matress).

I'm also very glad that you find my CJ stuff so inspiring

P.S. Will Rocky Raccoon settle down in this town?  

[NintendoMaster128 30]

In the movie the city of Toronto was used, they just pulled out the CN Tower.  hehe

They could of used it as a transmitting tower for their research centers some...I mean the thing is 1800 feet tall...

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

Wow! So many replies, thanks a lot everyone!

I'll just take the time to anwer everyone before going to bed, so this is not an update.

God damn it! I'm encoutering a hard time viewing the pics from your link! I love Resident Evil and I love Raccoon City more than I love my GF! Would you mind bothering to pack those pics up and send to my emailbox? Many gratitudes!

Thanx again!

As much as the city looks great, I think we need to stop talking about Resi Evil. It's not the actual city that we now and this could ruin his CJ.

And your right you did go a bit crazy with the El-Rail...

[NintendoMaster128 30]

CN Tower:  1,815ft tall 5 inches

[movcn 1]

excuse me, what does CJ stand for? Im new here. Sorry for my illiterate and ignorance.

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

cj = city journal
