Wow I haven't posted here in .. forever .. Hi all, I'm looking to come back to playing SC4. One of the things that steered me away from playing was the system requirements, SC4 just became unplayable with too much custom content, and I dropped it for awhile. I'm building a new computer, and I'd like to know if you guys have had success with SC4 and Intel Core 2 Duos or Quads. Please let me know, thanks. (Also, if you have any tips for a first time computer build, let me know as well.)

Somewhere in Cameroon?

The picture you posted is an extremely clean window, which is reflecting the sky. In simcity, the way the camera is angled, it reflects the ground or grass. Having something that bright isn't realistic, i'd even use black windows for that

7zip is freeware

Chess.

Here's mine after deleting all the icons on it. You should've seen it before! [Click for full size]

Here is what I think. Personally, I think that we're thinking a bit too big here. I don't know how many programmers exist here at ST, but I'm assuming that there aren't too many. The first thing that should be done is to start a project for which the end result would be the equivilant of Simcity 4 with tweaks to various simple things that were missing in Simcity 4. I'm not very experienced with this, but i'm assuming that 4 views (for rendering stuff) on a grid is much easier to accomplish than full 3d or 17 views without a grid. My point is: at the rate that we're going at nothing will get done. After this has been done, at least the programmers will have something to work from, allowing them to improve and add the rest of the wishes (such as 3d, grid-less, etc.). By then, hopefully by then, this will have attracted the attention of other programmers. Heck, even making a game on the level of SC2K with hopes of becoming SC5 would get attention. Anyways, to summarize, nothing will get done at this rate, we've gotta start smaller and build from there. Oh, and about Yogiya's point - Simtropolis already has a hiearchy (kind of), which is based on experience/knowledge. Why don't we just follow that?

Wow! This sounds crazy! I am willing to help if you need it, probably not though because I can't do much more than make simple models

I'm betting on San Jose winning the cup although it sounds weird

Thank you very much

I've had a problem with this before, where "ghosts" of a lot are left over and are seen, but not actually there. I'd reccomend taking it out of your plugins folder, loading, saving, then putting it back in (if you still want it). But don't forget to backup, removing stuff from your plugins after you've built them can make your cities corrupt.

Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of the SimTropolis Tools script(s)? Thanks in advance.

I go to a lot of image laden sites and dont have any problems....not sure what the deal is here. :/ This is what I see: ============ this is highly unusual /idealbb/files/oddness.JPG happy sims eh? /idealbb/files/happiness.JPG iraqi oil fields lol =============== No image, no link, nothing. And what kind of a url is /idealbb/files/oddness.JPG ?? Thats not even a valid address and would only work if I was local on the host. quote> The forums were upgraded a while ago, and it used to be called idealBB, where the relative paths would be working. However, Simtropolis has been upgraded, and most of those images have been deleted, or moved. In short - they once worked and were valid image paths, but the forums have been upgraded, images moved around, they no longer point to where they're supposed to.

Pandora has been taken, however, they provide an amazing service.

I usually wouldn't post on this thread, but last night we got at least 20 cms of snow here, which is quite amazing, seeing that it hadn't snowed until mid-Jaunuary.
