Need some quick advise and wondering how to hack boarders
DCMAKER replied to DCMAKER's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
its possible but requires an advanced AI to limit random decisions i am no math expert or programmer but i am sure something using the method of x is at _____plot and can move in one of 8 ways than once that move is done it can move again....like a turn based RPG. and each move has 8 choices which i think would reduce the calculations and possibilities by a lot...but again i am no math pr programming expect. I try to avoid it because its inherently annoying. Well i played around with some of the new god features and you cna make some cool lakes and canyons ut still sucks limited to such a small space lol. Also if you make a canyon than fill it with rain water than use any other god/mayor terrian feature on it the water disappears and leaves a wall of water lol....reminds me of Moses and the red sea ^^ I still think many of these advance features are way to much of a pain. Also with there was an easier way of doing monorail over roads instead of special pieces. Like bam i made a road now i just drag mono over it and bam its done...too bad. Also whats the difference between mono rail, subway, rail, and elevated rail? -

ha my bad that would be 32 bit....but honestly i can't see how 32bit map would cause a SB cpu that much trouble. If a P4 3.0 ghz can run a 16bit map with no problem than a SB chip could run a 32bit map. A SB cpu is like 20 times faster than a P4. when it comes to dhrystone tests. If the exponential values are that bad than a simple system can be made to fix it. -

i get what your saying and it wouldn't be that today's computers couldn't run it....they can if the game was multithreaded but this game is only single threaded so you wouldn't be able to max the cpu anyways. plus i wouldn't want a 32 bit map ^^ i just want one 4 times the size that shouldn't be too hard to run also i figure that all of these are down in god mod piece by piece? This must take days! http://www.simtropol...ssic-tutorials/ Also where do i get the improved buildings? -

psh if this pentium D(using integrated graphics :/ ) can run the game at 1280x1024 or whatever than my 720qm and GTX 260m can run it at 1600x1200 also i install radius and industry multiplier...didn't install the dirt industry pollution multiplier ^^ also installed NAM and the rail and NWM and the god mod tools and rain thing. Where do i get the police and hospital stuff? of and school Also is there an residential and commercial doubler. -

i do wish they would make a simcity 5...its been long enough. They series needs a refresh badly.(i only care about larger maps....nicer graphics would be nice but i could careless. Once I get my laptop back I am pondering on running a virtual box and running two simcity4 side by side so I can build with double the space and save to the same region edit...this game was written during 32bit era.....i assume they did it for 16bit in order to keep the game manageable.....back when it came out this was a hefty game. -
it might be the roads are congested leading to the ramp? or maybe the intersection

yea i just tried SC Scape and i noticed the S M L concept. Really sticks because large feels like a small or medium :/ No one has been able to edit it? The game simply reads the S M L as a size and applies a preset figure to each thing. Has anyone looked into where SC4 gets the values for SML? If you find those values you can edit that and change the sizes of the SML all together. I am no programer so i am of little help but i am sure there is some file somewhere that tells the game what size the SML is. my guess would be the file that tells the congif file what size the SML is is in here or the apps folder....has C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\simcity 4 deluxe(main folder has lots of config files.) I have never built a game before but the guy's who mod this should have a better idea where that is located....have they never looked? Plus if someone knows what accesses that config file you should be able to locate the file that tells the size Also i got deluxe....have it on steam. http://www.steamcalc....com/id/DCMAKER ^^ Paid on average $2.85 per game lol SIDE NOTE: Are they making a new Simcity game? This has been out forever lol -

Alright, I am wondering what useful mods their are that I can use. Right now i have read a few like the double decker highway set up but i am going to avoid that for now because it looks real complex and I rather not deal with that one yet. I am basically wondering what are the most helpful mods you guy's got to offer for a beginner. Like special hospitals police station stuff like that. EDIT:also looking for good mods that dont make this game even more complex.....I am just starting simcity 4 lol...haven't played simcity since 3000 in like 2000 lol Also how do you build bigger cities. I read about the config bmp but that only affects the total region size not the city squares. Is it possible to get rid of the individual squares all together? My goal would be to play the New York city map in one city or in like 4-8 pieces. (quadrupling the size or more of each city. Also any good links to tips on how to build good cities? I got some good ideas but eager to learn more. Also dont worry i plan on reading through the forums for a while but wanted to know if you guy's got any good ideas/tips to highlight for me
