Problem with ploppable RCI...
nic49548 replied to doodlea21's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
With the Water Supply Cap, although possibly important, buildings may abandon due to lack of water if the building/lot's Growth Stage is higher than the Water Supply Cap, even if the Water Consumed property (In Reader/SC4 Tool) is zero or even nonexistent. This doesn't seem to apply to Power Consumed if set to exactly zero, although they still won't develop. I've recently confirmed this, try to see for yourself. -
Considering past SimCities, like SC2K and SC3K, I'd like to know anybody's opinion is in regards to ploppable vs. growable RCI in this game, I'm aware that residential ploppables abandon and the other RCI types don't work properly either, so the question is, what is better: Plopping RCI or zoning and growing RCI?
-
What about landmarks? Like the Empire State Building, the Bank of China Tower, or even custom landmarks like the Dubai buildings? Would it be better to use Reader to edit them to make them growable or plop them?

How do you make these aircraft?
-
Remember the Guangzhou Twin Towers West Tower by Dmscopio? I'm looking for Version 1, the main websites have the new version. Is there anyplace you can download the first version?
-
Sorry for this question again, I have posted in the wrong section. Does anyone know a way to get FREE models or DXFs of these commercial aircraft types: L-1011 Tristar Airbus A350 Boeing 787 Boeing 777-300 any "DC-9" or Boeing 717 (Not MD-80 or MD-90) Sukhoi Superjet 100 Airbus A340-500 Airbus A321 Tupolev Tu-154 Ilyushin Il-62 Are there any FS websites with models outside of FlightSim, Simviation or AvSim?

With major retail buildings like Target, Kmart, Sears, Home Depot or even the ingame malls/gallerias, it is more preferable (or realistic) to lot them with parking lots, or without? (In my opinion, the cities are denser with buildings without parking lots)
-
I'm trying to make a realistic-looking city and airport in the future. What does a realistic city/suburb and airport look like? I've read on one comment saying that "Not every space should have a building" or something like that. With airports, I like widebodies, not a fan of the small narrowbodies like the 737. I also think cities look denser or better without parking lots and other things like that.

I'm trying to find the Mitsubishi Crystal Mall. On the STEX it says it's locked, I can't seem to download it off the SimCity.ea website either. Does anyone know where to get the building at?
-
Can someone PLEASE show me how to texture an aircraft from Gmax (Not FSX, FS2004 or whatever), as well as to make your own textures with Paint or Photoshop?

I'm looking for a Boeing 787, and an L-1011 3d model for free. Does anyone know where to find free 3d models?

BAT - Troubleshooting & General Discussion
nic49548 replied to Jasoncw's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop
I asked a question about texturing aircraft downloaded from FlightSim, but no one answered that thread. Does anyone know how to here? (As well as how to make textures for aircraft models) -
I've downloaded some MDLs, and converted them to DXFs. How do you make and texture different models of commercial aircraft, so that everything is textured correctly? I've seen some textures from FlightSim.com, so how do you make many different liveries like that and get them onto the aircraft?
-
When you're making an aircraft, do you have to also make the windows (Cabin), or don't? I've seen windowless models on various websites. I ask this because I've seen the windows light up on various props in SC4 (VLT or something like that downloaded on Simtropolis). Also, how do you make textures of different models of aircraft?
-
Are any of these models for Gmax? I can't find any, they're 3ds, or some other weird types.
-
Even if I could find an airplane, they're usually MDL files, I could use MDL2DXF to convert it and File>Import in BAT, but there's no scene (No model appears). Am I missing something?
-
Does anyone know where to find "plain" (Untextured) commercial aircraft for free? I tried the MDL2DXF converter and File>Import in Gmax, but no luck. I can't find any Gmax (NOT 3dsmax) tutorials for commercial aircraft either. Can anyone show or reply to this message please?
-
I'm trying to shape a CRJ commercial jet fuselage. How do you shape the fuselage and other stuff, with cylinders?
-
Is it better to delete half the vertices or polygons and then mirror the object's remainder into an instance, and then moving multiple vertices since the aircraft is symmetrical? I've tried this based on a tutorial I saw, but the two objects' vertices aren't connected. Am I missing something?
-
I need to know how to type a line break. Does anyone know how to type such things? (Like in Reader or LEPROP)
-
I looked in the BAT Essentials for the "TexturesA.zip" and "TexturesB.zip", but it says "The Page Cannot Be Found". I'm trying out BAT, and I need help looking for those textures.
-
I was wondering if there's a Gmax video tutorial for a skyscraper anywhere, because the one video tutorial around here is no longer active. It says "The Blogger was not found" or whatever.

I recently got Windows Vista, and put the Lot Editor in the correct folder. The problem I'm having is the the Lot Editor will load up default Maxis buildings, but will crash if it loads up custom-made plugins. I have updated the game with the SimCity 4 Update, but the LotEditor won't recognize custom-made plugins. Is there a way to fix this?
-
It is necessary to change or modify the capacities of RCI buildings to make them more perfect (Like having the capacities end with 0s), or are the ingame values best? An example is like, the Hogan Wallace building, having it set as 10000 instead of the ingame value of 5709.
-
I need help with this: One odd thing I found out today is that the Lot Editor won't load up a lot if it's missing something. It says: "The lot you have chosen cannot be edited because it uses items from SimCity plugins or expansion packs that are not installed on this machine." It does this on SimMars lots and the Bank Of China Shanghai from Dmscopio. It also does this on the Marina, Cruise Ship Port, Toll Booths, Ferry Terminals, ElRail/Monorail Stations, and the Grand Railroad Station which are Maxis content. I need a way to fix this, could someone help, please?
