Not sure if this is the right place in the forum so please move it if it is. Just wanted to see peoples screenshots of Sim City being a little bit thick! Well here's one to start us off. tried to build my own bridge approaches and bridge so I didn't get the ridiculously steep ramp and instead this is what it came up with! The bridge and road are still connected, and whats more the approach on the other bank worked perfectly!

but there wouldnt be a new language! Earth is colonising Mars so the sims wil leither speak English (which by the way technically originated in Italy with Latin), Russian or Chinese since these are the big space-faring nations

Hello there, I come in peace as a representative of SimMars! this sounds like a BRILLIANT idea but remember we would not be able to use the BAT to create any models, it says so in the terms and conditions, and it seems we would be unlikely to get the source code from EA, but certainly worth a try I suppose. I'd love to help build custom content but I am useless with GMAx. I am highly proficient in AutoCAD but don't seem to be able to import my models into GMax so I havent been able to release LOTs. If we find a way to use raw DXF files in the game then that would be fantastic, and GMax users can export to DXF too! if this project starts to get off the ground PLEASE PM me! I'll be happy to help consult for the leadership (I am in the upper echelons of SimMars of course) and as I said I'm a dab hand at 3D modelling in AutoCAD b2b maybe I should comment on other things... there is no way we will get money from prepay, because at such an early stage NOBODY will invest in a project. a comprehensive business plan must be drawn up, and then conceptual idea. That is where you can gain funding. There is no point in talking about this project until some things are done. ideally we need people already creating a platform ready for the custom content guys. when we have a platform and some custom content then funding may become avaiilable. If any of the leadership would kindly PM me I have knowledge of project management which may be of some use b2b

The textures are all in the workshop area of the forums and TimeMaste rhas LOADS of ideas! lol and TimeMaster he has been in contact occasional;ly and posted a few months ago

ha ha that's ok I'll let you off! lol

you're telling us we have our facts wrong but suggest we find the truth at WIKIPEDIA ??!! and it is very difficult to say who started the 'war' anyway. as far as I understand it it is technically the Russians who started the war because they attacked Georgian soil, and their fighter jets invaded Georgian air space

no I wasn't saying this was the start of WW3! just that this ould be a spark for larger tensions. I'm just saying that if Russia were to conquer all or Georgia with no major consequences then it would seem much like the beginning of WW2 (hence the Poland reference)

You are not the only active member! lol and we are certainly not on hold. I am working on it in what spare time I have and we also have Timemaster who is very enthusiastic and learning to BAT. But you're right we can't really rely on andisart as a leader at the mo so I'd like to suggest we form some form of coalition leadership or at least vote a new leader!= to help get the project back into full swing!

I also read that Georgia are withdrawing half of their contingent from Iraq to help in the war, and have asked the US if they can borrow some planes to fly their troops back. They have put the US in quite a difficult situation with that one. However... it is my belief that Russia cannot win this war, even though they could easily annihilate Georgia with their Military power. There will be international outcry if Russia annexes Georgia or even South Osetia. Unless of course this is the beginnings of WW3, and we will just appease Russia for a while until they overstep the mark and invade somewhere like Poland. Georgia on the other hand can either win or lose. If they capture South Osetia (very unlikely) then that will be their victory, or it will become independent which will qualify as a loss. but thats just my opinion, and a very simplified one at that!

have you decided where you're gonna put your CBD and industrial zones yet?

there are 3 ways you could do it... in fact I'm gonna create a google page for Sim Mars tonight or tomorrow so I'l lkeep you posted. It'll allow us to have an e-mail address specially for simMars and somewhere to host pics etc. also good for updates on progress! check back later and all will be revealed! (I hope)

Hey Facher we are all still here and the project is still going! (albeit very slowly!) would be great to hear any music you can make up!

not really no... Hydrogen power needs no 'high heat'. A lit match could ignite a hydrogen explosion, so all that would be needed in the Hydrogen tank is a spark to create a reaction. Fusion technically does not need high heat either but high kinetic energy (speed) of the particles or high pressure to allow them to fuse. very high speed particles anbd high pressure will then produce the high heat due to friction and collisons with the surface of the container

I will try to explain... Hydrogen fusion plants use nuclear processes to produce energy. H + H = He is the basics. unfortunately this process creates a LOT of energy (its how the sun works) and so the heat would just melt any reactorquickly. A Hydrogen plant jut burns Hydrogen, i.e. 2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O to make energy. that is the main difference in the two time master

wow that is a lot of ideas! the best thing to do is to come up with a few sketches of your ideas so that people can try BATting them,. or to try BATting them yourself!

You know what exploding sim?! I hope that sea wall bursts and everyone using your pitifully empty highway is washed away in to the cold, dark deep!

I htink it means there's a heck of a lot of 41 - 50 year old undead citizens walking round the city! lol.

I think as Mayor I need to sack my highway planners, engineers and architects and find some new ones! I tried a UDI and as you enter the tunnel it dips sharply downwards and you suddenly on top of the slope! its an inter-dimensional / teleportinng tunnel! And the bridge was meant to be that high so ships can get under it! lol

Thin boy I'm a little worried about your airport... there are skyscrapers on the runway approach! could get messy!

I started work on a mining station BAT... thanks for reminding me, It must be somewhere in the depths of my PC, hope i backed it up before I formatted!

Antaryjczyk, if you download the NAM they are all in there once you install it they will all be in your roads menu, and you just press tab to cycle throug

One of the first things necessary when building a region is the name. You have to decide what you want in it, where you want it and what kind of terrain. I'm hoping people will post their suggestions for others to use! I'm not very good at these so i'll let others start us off

Some of them are a bit simple but some I like, specially the bottom ones as low density housing! I might try and model some but im rubish with BAT too! I an use autocad so im looking at a way to export from that to BAT
