Akiba BAT, "Akiba Laox & Ishimaru Denki" is turning out well. Like Zhonghua Zutao, this will be a CS$$. But in this form, there is nothing new with this BAT. I am trying a flashing neon-sign this time. I know that animated props are not possible to make, but I have a thought about it.

Oh...... :-0 You've far exceeded NDEX already.

(Canopus Green, Prime Minister's Office) (General Commander) There must be something with that Dai Ganda and the antimatter. Otherwise, Zanonean Kingdom can't be that serious about it! (Aeroforce Commander) The crews are also strange. They never reveal their reasons of why they carry that amount of antimatter. (General Commander) I am VERY sure that it is the smuggled antimatter. Capture that at all cost!! Maybe, the real crisis happens after we capture that ship. There must be something with it. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Iftikar) Ok, ok ,the course changing away from Canopus Platta. On no, the altimeter broke the 100m line! (Captain, Sujian He) Yarkozvezda! Hurry! The altutude is already below 100m! (Vladimir) We are catching up! Kingdom's Royal Cosmoforce is stuck behind in dogfight! (Crew 1, Sujian He) Captain, we are doing too much damage to the ship! (Captain, Sujian He) But we must do it! Failure or inaction, either way we will be up in a plasma fireball! (Makhmood) Captain, I am having this bad feeling that..... we are not pushing the Dai Ganda hard enough.... (Captain, Sujian He) We are at our maximum! Any more things to......... ouch. I see. That doesn't look good. (Makhmood) If we quit here, Dai Ganda crashes into that building, 10g of antimatter detonates and it's the end. If we keep on pusing, WE crash into there, 8g of antimatter detonates, and it's the end.... (frozen)................................... ============================================================== (Crew 1, Sujian He) Captain, I think it's the time to use that procedure. (Captain, Sujian He) Mid-air jettison procedure..... Dumping antimatter in front of millions of spectators...... The company and I might get into a serious trouble.... but there is far more imminent danger that must be avoided...... .............ok. DO IT! Override safety lock. Container #9, detach! (Captain, Sujian He) Yarkozvezda! Have you caught up? ----------------------------------- (Vladimir) Sujian He, We are still slightly behind, so taking a shortcut across Canopus Platta! (Crew 1, Yarkozvezda) Captain! This is just ridiculous! You can't fly across Canopus Platta like that!! (Vladimir) Shut up! I AM aware that I'm breaking traffic rule right in front of the Supreme Court!!! It's an emergency, understand!? ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Captain, Sujian He) All crews, this is probably the worst order ever!! We are crashing into the Prime Minister's Office, and we are NOT altering our course. Grab on to something, prepare for a major collision!! (Makhmood) Can we withstand the crash!? (Captain, Sujian He) This ship will withstand! Trust our maintainance team back in Apollon City!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Prime Minister) There are the ships! All remaining staff, evacuate this building immediately!!! (Internal Minister) Ms! Let's hurry! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Vladimir) We've caught up! We are nearly just below the Dai Ganda! (Iftikar) Dai Ganda ready! (Makhmood) Life or death, to be decided in next 10 seconds!!!!!! (Captain, Sujian He) JESUS!!!!!!!! (Crew 1, Sujian He) AAAAGGGGGGAAAAAAAAA!!!! (Makhmood) ALLLAH AKBAR!!!! ....................... (Makhmood) Captain, are you all right? (Captain, Sujian He) .....aargh... call SOS-1 with that radio.... the rescue..... (Vladimir) This is Yarkozvezda! This is Yarkozvezda! We got them! The ship firmly on our deck!!! We did it!!! ===================================================== Interrogation (General Commander) There is one condition condition for release. What was the purpose of the antimatter? (Captain, Dan Ganda) ..................... (Crew 1, Dai Ganda) (whisper).......captain, I think we can just tell them. It won't make any difference. (Captain, Dan Ganda) (quiet nod) hm... Can we apply for an asylum after release? (General Commander) Well, of course you can, but why...? (Captain, Dan Ganda) We were meant to suicide-attack Carinangaya, basically totally annihilating the capital of Zanonean Kingdom. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is TWrecks taking this up or bixel taking up? Either way, it is very very good, but I just want to make sure who is doing what... Is my basic ideas on how this should be MODed practical?

I BATed Terra Dome because I wanted some WHAM-factor in my CJ Zanapolis :-P That 1.6km across, 400m tall making itself my biggest BAT ever. But actually, I am soon BATing something even bigger than this. It is called "Quadrahedron Matrix". Stay tuned! Zip doesn't open? It's so strange.... I zipped it with Windows XP built-in zip tool...

@patfirefghtr Don't worry! You will have time to see everything. I will be here. @collgab My sci-fi BAT will keep on being insane. Now, watch what comes up next @Leech10 Thanks! And yeah, I should soon complete the story so that those two Myon nationals find a way back home! @jacqulina Cheers, as usual. I will try some more new stuff @Preyfr60 That is why I am thinking of preparing a BAT link package, for all Zanapolis BATs. @rsugar! It's just a matter of how you define "animated" Flicker effects are all right, but what I want is a hard-core action @bourneid Yet, animated gifs take soooooo long time to prepare, rather putting me off from updating the main story line. But this will soon change, as i've started learning the secrets of Flash. @Buggi Most of Zanapolis BATs are found in yuhisa.com, and Cosmoforce and Aquaforce are in STEX. Yeah, SC4 Maxis default alien UFO... that looks a bit #$%#. I want some cooler stuff @eggie99 Thanks a lot! And I am looking forward to yours too! @rooker1 Yeah, "entertainment CJ" One of my goals. @Shinnie02 Actually, I am VERY VERY hopeful about your contribution to Simtropolis, as I am pretty much the only person who does scifi or Asian stuff, and it seems you are also into those two! Your avatar is the Laughing Man of Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex 1 @Menotyou Now the dome is ready for download! @Fox After Terra Dome, I still have two ideas of such mega structures. News in Zanapolis at the top of SCJU wiki? hm..... as usual, I worry about compatibility with other CJ's, as things happening in Zanapolis cannot be separated from its off-world scifi nature... Anyway, if people still want to, it will happen I think. I just let things go by themselves. @hamsterTK Laddermill is actually "stolen" from Scientific American magazine @Berethor07 Thanks a lot! @crazychickensc12 Yes its huge! A mile across, and quarter mile tall. I guess, by its volume, it is the largest structure EVER BATted. @blade2k5 Fortunately, they are mostly on STEX. Try these names: Kinzie Tower, PanPacific Plaza (by Dusktrooper), AOX corp, 1 International Trade Center, Sky2222, Mireniamu, and also have a look at SimCityForce with a guidance of "A guide to Japanese BAT hunting" in BAT open discussion forum. The blue one is by SOMY and white tall one is by Dareka and is called sky6 @Schulmanator Thanks! Off world scifi CJ's occasionally pop up, but so sorry that they don't tend to last that long.... @Charles Rodulfo That Starship is Uchuu Senkan Yamato, or "Star Blazer." Have a look at here! http://www.starblazers.com/ @zelgadis Yet another pursuit of sci-fi ness! The white building is BSC's Altura Condo that should be in STEX. The black 938m tall skyscraper with kanji is Velacosma Associates HQ, which is released somewhere around page 8. For Lord Zexion's Starship, there is a bit of a problem..... The area is as you see, EXTREMELY congested, all on land, sea and air. LAND SEA AIR Therefore, what is recommended for all large personal space vessels arriving in Zanapolis is to stay in orbit, descend by a shuttle and land on one of 5 airports (CAC Suzaku, CAC Jilin, Auriga International, Rigel, or ET33). Lord Zexion may contact Tau Kinematik and buy a time slot for Tk Apollon City Intersteller Distribution Center, but this might be expensive.

Footpaths are combined with canals, as 16m-wide footpaths are quite unrealistic Footpaths are nearly always found together with canals anyway. All LOTs are 4x6, 4x8 or 4x4. Canals and footpaths are 1x1. All paddies are set so that it changes appearance through a year. Currently, all LOTs are set as parks. So, everything is eye-candy at this moment. I also think they should be ploppables. We agree here. I have another idea. You see the 1x1 footpath/canal LOT adjacent to the road? What about turning that into an authentic farming LOT (either ploppable or growable) while keeping everything else Landmarks (or parks). It also immitates the fact that all commuters have to go through that tile to get to work on rice paddies All models and LOTs I made are uploaded here http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/file/NipponDenen.zip It contains the following: ------------------------------- Nippon Den'en Tambo 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (Japanese Countysides, Rice Paddy 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) 1 and 2 are 4x6 paddies with built-in footpaths and trees, 3 is a 8x12 LOT with footpaths, an island and a shrine at the center. 4,5 are plain flat paddies (but different reflection, bush and such), 6 is a 4x8 plain paddy, 7 is a 4x4 plain paddy, 8 is a 4x4 triangular paddy, but the LOT size is 2x2. Yousuiro (canal, straight) Yousuiro Kousa (canal, crossing) Yousuiro Teiji (canal, T-junction) Yousuiro Magari (canal, corner) Yousuiro Ikidomari (canal, dead-end) Yousuiro Azemichi (canal-footpath crossing) All these 1x1 canal LOTs have the same statistics as Maxis default Playground. ------------------------------- Yousuiro Ikidomari (canal, dead-end) is the one I am proposing to turn into a proper farming LOT. I think BATting is now complete, and now into deciding how to LOT and MOD this thing..... Btw, that mile-across structure is the Terra Dome. That is my latest sci-fi BAT release (for details and other BATs, take a look at my CJ!). You know, I do 60% scifi BATs and 40% Asian BATs, and very very few BAT neither of them... Whey do everybody just BAT European/American stuff and nothing else? Probably it's because of what TWrecks means by hope you are not too disappointed, but this is just the risk when you push a game so far beyond what it was intended to be and to do...quote>BUT, taking this risk is why EastAsia Fundamentalist BAT Faction is here My next BAT is starting up......

"My Neighbor Totoro" !!! BATting and basic LOTing of "Nippon Den'en (Japanese countrysides)" is now complete. Now, can anybody take this up to MOD, do the final check and send off to STEX? (The building at the middle is not included in Nippon Den'en Set. It is SOMY's creation)

(TV Reporter) Today at Time 450, the police received a report that some quantity of antimatter has been found in Terra Dome Japanese Agricultural Reserve, which is situated in the Ward of Lunapalace. The police force immediately called for a complete evacuation and closure of the facility, and Cosmoforce was dispatched to retrieve the reported antimatter. Yet, the police lost track of the person who reported to have found antimatter. (TV Reporter) Zanapolis Cosmoforce on the other hand, searched the area with a magnetic field detector to locate the field pattern characteristic of antimatter container, but no blips appeared on their screen, implying that antimatter does not exist in the vicinity. Simultaneously, a citizen in Cyberdrome 8 reported a cyber forum post, which suggests that the report was a hoax. (TV Reporter) The police along with Zanapolis Cyberforce is currently investigating the source of this hoax. New BAT release: "Terra Dome" http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;no=68;id= http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/file/TerraDome.zip

Canals are in place. So, you can take this to MOD T Wrecks? If so, that would be great!

I intended this BAT to be ploppable, but growable should equally be all right. But can you control which paddy to appear in which position...? Another thing is, do all rice paddies have to be adjacent to a road to function if with jobs? I'm also BATting footpaths. If these footpaths are transit-enabled, would it be all right even if the paddies are far from default Maxis roads? There will be more irrigation canals, footpaths, 4x8, 4x4, 4x4 triangle and 2 irregular-shaped paddies and a pond coming.

Some basic canals are added. I think this project soon proceeds into MOD stage. Is there anybody who can do this? (custom UI, realistic numerical setting etc) Currently, all rice paddies are set as parks. And somebody in 2ch BBS pointed that the rice paddy before harvest looks like Tatami mat here

Recently, MoFA Zanapolis was reactivated and a classic-style diplomatic relation was established with New Carpathia Confederation of Planets (NCCP). The Embassy of Zanapolis was built in Tol Sirion, New Carpathia accordingly. The delegates of NCCP looked into several possible locations for its embassy and came up with several candidates. Now it is up to Lord Zexion's mind to finalize its location.... 1. Apollon City A - The building is located a the dead-center of skyscraper forest, and is very near from the headquarters of gigantic corporations such as Velacosma Associates and Tau Kinematik. The streets are busy and numerous people of Zanapolis shall recognize the presence of NCCP..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Canopuspolis, Carina Foci - The building is located in the Ward of Canopuspolis, only one kilometer from the political center of Zanapolis, the Canopus Platta. The Ministry of Category IV Industry (governs Cyber-Zanapolis) stands nearby and the embassy of NCCP shall have a facile contact with its own citizens uploading their consciousness from NCCP. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Canopuspolis, Photon Complex II - The building is located at the southern opposite coast of Canopus Platta, in one of the most expensive redevelopment area of Photon Complex II. Despite the fact that the building is not very big, it is highly recognizable from thousands of people traveling by ground effect crafts. Citizens of Zanapolis shall recognize NCCP by its embassy in this prestigeous location. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Canopuspolis, Canopus Platta - The building is located at THE CENTER of Zanapolis, in geographic, political and symblic terms. Due to its tightly controlled building and security code of this area, the floorspace is not very big. Yet, its exceptional location shall mean something greater. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Southern Cross Station, Nanshizilou - The Ward of Southern Cross Station is considered a high-profile district. In addition to it, the building is located next to a maglev station in the middle of main street. Every single commuters who go through this area shall mark the presence of NCCP in Zanapolis. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Southern Cross Station, Honglongzhan - Located at the waterfront looking down a vast ocean, it is one of the most competitive area to gain an office space. The building is one of the first to see for people travelling into Zanapolis by sea, and the entire area is registered on the scenery conservation list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Spica Canalis, Virgo Triangle - The neighboring white and light blue building is the Ministry of Foreign Affiars Zanapolis. Its close proximity shall achieve a smooth diplomatic communications and exchanges. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Spica Canalis, Rue d'etoiles Vingt - The semi-futuristic building is located within walking distance from Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zanapolis. The building was previously occupied by the diplomatic mission of Confederasio Eri and therefore, the interior is already optimized for use by diplomatic missions. It is also noteworthy that the entire area is also on the scenery conservation list. The area is frequently televised. The people of entire Arista Star System shall be recognizing the embassy of NCCP through television. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, time to settle down on its location....................

A picture-only update

Although Zanapolis generates most of its power from nuclear fusion, it is not a 100% reliable source of energy as power plants can break down and supply of Helium-3 may be blocked due to political reasons. Therefore, renewable energies remain a top concern. A Velacosma Associate affiliate company "Vyeter Energia" installed a revolutionary wind power plant "Laddermill Jetstream Wind Turbine" in the ward of Mutsura Renzan. The basic idea is a wind turbine attached to a kite. http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;no=65;id= http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/file/Laddermill.zip

That was quick. Now, looking forward to the nightlights!

Sorry, my PC is going offline for a while, but the development of Terra Dome continues. When my PC goes back online, WHAM! Zanapolis will have domed settlements!

For a while, my computer goes offline, so I can't upload any files or pictures, but the project continues. This means, when my computer goes back online, WHAM! A huge update!

Some minor picture-only update to show what Zanapolis is like in details! Centaurus Island (South) The southern end of Zanapolis, Centaurus Island The beach area is a rather cozy place.........despite the fact that there has been a nerve gas attack in this area recently. Solaris VIA A sunken Green Highway, Solaris Alpha line Many industrial firms in Zanapolis started from this area, Venture Industrial Area (VIA), where the municipal government defines as an "incubator" Massive cryogenic hydrogen tanks by Suiso Renmei Ltd. Kessel Isles The HQ of Kessel Environments Ltd (blue futuristic building) located at the quasidowntown of the Ward of Kessel Isles. Office towers looking into the vast open ocean...... GalacticFoundationOne The district of "Integral City" in GalacticFoundationOne - The rainbow-like light in the middle is aimed at spaceships and scramjets flying in mesosphere, to indicate the location of nearby spaceport, which is Area 5.1 ET-33. The space elevator socket is located in GalacticFoundationOne Reka Persei 2 A trains station just adjacent to the border between Zanapolis and Zanonean Kingdom Some vessels of Aquaforce are anchored in Reka Persei 2. Not the all of Zanapolis is filled with skyscrapers and busy streets! and here comes the "Terra Dome" under development.... A mile in diameter, 400m in height

Ironclads, hydrogen plants and robotic battle units next to each other....... I just like this contrast!

The north-eastern frontiers of Zanapolis is nearly complete. The construction of Terra Dome at the the Equinox City completes everthing. Another insane BAT to come.....
