SimWings BAT Projects Thread

Weeiiii!!! Finaly some progress, I had to Boolean one of the windows, but i finaly actually got the ATC-Part of the Tower Lit up... The colors are just temporary so as to show where and what the lights light up, the intensity is also a bit to high... Edit: Added the Maxis one, witch i think looks better on the tower, since it lights up only the windows, but the decision is yours Muzzy. Gonna Start out on lighting the Tower(the pillar) soon. Also, here is an update on the base, lowerd the intensity to give a softer light: End of Edit Howdya Like it Muzzy? and whatcha others think? Atleas we know it will light up when we tell it too Edit2: Here is some of what im working on: Same pics are displayed in my BAT-Thread, but i thought id post some pics here, loads more pics are avalible in my thread.(They are new for today though ^^ Cheers //Sim -
Pretalk: Hello all, im back, no feedback this time because of lack of comments, Today we are introducing a new roadsign, and 2 new villages built for the Big expansion of the Valley(aptly named Lush Valley in my region). Also i decided to Have some changes to the Chapter System, but only for times when there is a part missing, as most updates before have had development and story in the same chapter, from now on, it will in most cases be separated as follows Chapter 14 - A Story/Development Chapter Chapter 14A - A Story Chapter Chapter 14B - A Development Chapter Hope you dont mind, this means that the following chapter is a developmetn chapter. Chapter 14B Lush Valley, 2 months left until deadline. Pic 14B.1: This is the newfounded comunity of Kaoru, this is one of the major towns in the area, Having a large Lumber mill and Grain Shipping plant, also the Gas Power Plant is beeing built here. the town lies just on the R2, so connection to Shion is both fast and good. The Railwaylink between Shion North and Nausicaa has been extended into Kaoru, and is going to be extended further out into the vally, for quick transportation of people. Also a lot of channels are beeing dug, for all the heavy equipment and materials needed to raise the prefabricated briges, Factories and Plants. As the railsystem isnt built to withstand the weight of the goods. Some lighter freight is however carried on the rails, like consumables and loggs. Pic 14B.2: The Kaoru Logging Camp and Mill. Pic 14B.3: The Grain Shipping Mill, Huge ammounts of Grain and other crops are loaded onto barges here for transportation to various Factories and Bakeries around Kaoru and Shion. Pic 14B.4: The site where the huge Gas Plant will stand, its a major construction site, but will be needed once the Immegrants from Fwandreii arrive. The windmills just arnet enough to keep a large population powerd. Pic 14B.5: As roads splitt, some are bound to merge for certain distances, the cheapest way to get 2 roads over a river is to merge them, and as there not very corowded, a single lane brige was perfect. The R2 & R22 once again splits 100meters after the bridge, The R22 Heading West and the R2 Heading East. (Bridge is in North/Soulth direction, north beeing the uppermost) Pic 14B.6: The small village of Norris, While the R22 is beeing extended here, the small comunity has grown around a small street. The village has very poor connections to the rest of the Nation, a small mudd path leads down to the R22 Construction site 2km away. The road is estimated to take some 2 months to construct, and the area will be deforested and feilds planted all around it. That was all for today... i know, its not much, and lack the story, but its something. as ive said, ive been quite buissy latley. And BATing has had some time taken from CJ'ing. But as i allways do, the updates will fall in. Just dont get used to see it on page one everyday come back for yourselves and check it out from time to time, chanses are you missed an update that one day you couldnt log onto ST because your ISP was bugging you ^^ Cheers //Sim

Hey Muzzy, i did try out the Nitelites, i got them to work at the bottom of the tower, the big blob on the column i dont really know what to do about. The ATC-Part of the tower(top) seems to be unwilling to light up, it shuts doen the omnies :/ however, i have had that problem before and solved it, so il work on it some more and try to remember. Worst case one could export it seperatly(as another prop) and place it ontop in LE. The Blob in the tower i will find a way to remove, since it looks out of place. and the lights are a bit bright at the moment ^^ Cheers //Sim -
Hey, those look very nice. love to se more people working on Airport BAT's! Il be checking back to se the progress later ^^ Cheers //Sim

Some Feedback, and the reason, im going away for a week now, holiday with my mates to the nerby(yeah really... only a 7 hour trip) of Gotland. so i wont be present to update and give answers. Deathtoall: Yeah 90 minutes is amazing, dont think il ever beat it, but i did have a very good picture of how this update was to be, since id been breewing the ideas for 3 days ^^ Leech10: Sadly, only time will tell, be back for the next update and you will find out... partly atleast gurrgkud: Thanks for the support Mate ^^ Im glad you like it! Utora: 90 minutes is amazingly fast, the pictures took 5 mins to take, and 10 mins to edit(though i now my way around Photoshop, since have had classes in it for 2 years(seperated by OS and time ofcource :/), the killer is the writing time, thats where the other 75 mins go to ^^, and this time i knew the story well, usually i make it up as i go allong, this one id been planning for days, while sleeping and sitting on the bus etc. Btw, i did like your latest Update, and i hope to find another one when i get back from Gotland. Thanx for all the support, and glad you liked those signs, they take their time to implement ^^ and the maps, they were a time killer... Pixel by Pixel work Kb: Very tomatoy comment ^^ glad you think its good ^^ Cheers & Seeya in 1 week's time ^^ //Sim

Well, the new fords ive seen are the smallish European lookalikes that seem to be everywhere, there all just this rond peice of plastic, and thats ugly. As for the American big ones(Mustang, Dodge, Charger), you dont se them on the streets here so much(Imagine driving a Mustang into Stockholm or one of the other major European city cores, that must be a nightmare), Though the new models also look quite rounded, and i think thats the new trend of cars, they should all look spacy and Futuristic with their curves and... gahh ^^ As for Renault/Fiat/Pegout/Volkswagen/Citroen (not to mentiona a lot more of them) could all be the same company, as their models look EXACTLEY the same exept for their badges... :/ Cheers //Sim

A new way to comment about a City Journal: CJES
xiziz replied to Compromise's topic in SC4 City Journals
Im with Utora and Nicolais, though i wouldnt mind if more people did tell a bit more of what could be inproved in their comments, i leave it all up to the Commentator to decide what input S\he is gonna leave, or if to even leave a comment at all. I mean, what is the basis of a cj in the origin, for some it may be a competion to be the best, for others a way to brag about their playingstyle, but for me its for fun, The entire process, from building the cities to making/keeping a story to go with it, and presenting it in a nice way, and to answer anyones questions. Personaly i dont care if i get 0 comments or if i get 10, but every comment that has some value(a question/remark etc) i like more, but id rather that value came from the hearts of the readers and not a sence of If im gonna comment i have to say these things. Its a very nice idea though, it just dosent suit me, for the people that want Cj'ing to become a Competition or Showoff it might be useful however ^^ Anyway... ive been rambeling to much... again... Cheers //Sim -
Well, as all my ultra urban cities were lost in the great Hdd crash of April, im gonna post 2 pictures of what i belive is my best region to date. though therse pics have been shown in my cj, and are part of the story, since my cj is heavily story dependant. Enjoy... One of the main Roads of Shion, the R2. and Downtown or Oldtown if you wish ^^ The big park behind the buildings in the pic above, though this is a much older picture. note the rowhomes in the upper corner ^^ Feel free to give Shintose a visit, but be prepaired to read... a lot ^^ Cheers //Sim
