    Hellken replied to Haljackey's topic in SC4 Showcase

    Thank you so much! I downloaded these a long time ago from SimCityChina. Unfortunately it's extremely difficult to get an account at SimCity China now. The website has to obey China's Communist Party laws. You need a QQ account too which requires your personal data. And under Chinese law now they have to share that with the Chinese government. You also need an invite from someone inside the forum / QQ to get an account. I don't have any of those sadly. Anyway I will leave them here given how difficult it is to access the site if you're outside China. You can see the SimCityChina links in the attachment to respect the creators. SimCityChina is a special case so I hope this is OK since it's unobtainable elsewhere. JackXu88.rar lrdcq.rar zz_Highway Pillar MOD 2 Adolf Pikachu.rar
  2. By default, Simtropolis uses Round Avatars as of July 2015. While the Round Army may have won the battle when Simtropolis voted, I have a solution for those of you who want square avatars. I have tweaked the CSS code for a modern, sleek square design with smooth edges. I did this to address concerns that the round avatar style cropped too much while addressing the want for a modern look. This is available for Firefox and Chrome users only.

  3. Hi. Looks like stylish.org revamped their website. Anyway, the link can still be accessed. So we\re good. It's just that their website revamp sucks. By the way, can we get this thread stickied/pinned mods? Thanks

    I have been working on this expressway interchange with a toll plaza by @riiga. It came to life with the MMPs. This railway depot is at the confluence of several major regional and urban railways.

  5. Industrial Revolution Mod - Base FA Filler Set

    Great job as always. What's new in the 2022 update?

  6. Saint Ymeer City

    Hellken commented on sucram17's City Journal Entry in Saint Malin's City Journal

    Every lot here looks so custom manicured down to the last street side!

  7. The Kingdom readies itself to go sky-high once again!

    Hellken commented on Lucario Boricua's City Journal Entry in Kingdom of Rota

    A: No. The North-south runway is next to a cliff and planes will fly directly over Alba. They won't like it. B: Depends. Looks OK. Just make sure there are no mountains north of the runway. C: North-south runway is OK. The NW-SE runway has planes flying directly over the small town so that is a no. D: Looks alright if you make some adjustments. Keep the N-S runway away from the cliffs and hills as much as possible. The East-West runway does not have planes flying overhead the town. But I notice that the west end is too close to a cliff. E: Not sure what to think about this one. The left runway is close to the edge of a cliff. There seems to be a ridge north of the right runway. Can't really tell if it is tall enough to be an issue. F: Hmm. Have you considered putting Option F just north of the lake? Perhaps you could put the NW-SE runway directly north of the lake. And the N-S runway just east of the lake. You can play with different configurations. G: There seems to be a hill just north of the airport and not sure if the hills to the east will be an issue.

  8. Saint Ymeer City teaser

    Hellken commented on sucram17's City Journal Entry in Saint Malin's City Journal

    What a pleasant surprise. Santa Malin was one of my favorite city journals on Simtropolis. Do you plan to restore the images in your previous posts? Many image links are now broken. I would love to view them again.

  9. Hellken's Lots

    Hellken posted a topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Here's a set of warehouse industrial lots. These are 10x9 industrial lots based on bripizza and JES warehouses. A large warehouse hangar. A warehouse in a desolate winter. These grow in the game. I have a problem. I did not do the exemplars right. I started with a base industrial landmark lot. So the growable lots end up having landmark attributes. (Initially, I ended up with some odd behavior in-game after deleting the landmark exemplars in the growable files. That did not work so I discarded that.) The files below are test files. Despite the filename, the GROW and PLOP (Landmark) files are identical (for now). I need advice to fix the growable and landmark exemplars. If you want to view the exemplars the files are attached below.

  10. The Kingdom readies itself to go sky-high once again!

    Hellken commented on Lucario Boricua's City Journal Entry in Kingdom of Rota

    What program did you use to make the airport plans? I like it. Very simple. Paint.Net? GIMP? Or just Photoshop?

    Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Hi Thanks!. I actually saw your post back in August 2019. I forgot to thank you. I don't have enough time for SC4 due to real life commitments so this was much appreciated!

  12. Hellken's Lots

    Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    BTW, I am having trouble editing the Ploppable Menu text. I am trying to insert custom text descriptions for the lot. Can anyone advise?

    Hellken replied to Haljackey's topic in SC4 Showcase

    Hang on. Does that still happen even with the SC4 Fix? Does the game really start experiencing corruption when the city file exceeds 12.5 MB (+/-)? Can anyone else comment?

  14. Hellken's Lots

    Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    I use LotEditor most of the time. PIM-X does not always work 100% on my system. (It has a strict memory limit. Although you can select which plugins to load, it is still a crippling issue especially if I am doing a big lot.) Getting the exemplars right from a Ploppable to Growable (or vice-versa) is the problem. If you have screenshots that would be useful! Thanks. I created a new 'growable' dummy lot and copy-pasted the exemplars into the lot. I am sure I must have done something wrong because the lot was unreadable in PIM-X and Lot Editor. So I had to re-do the exemplars again. I used a backup copy of the lot. Then I edited the exemplars in iLives Reader directly (by comparing them to similar lots). I am not sure about the purpose of some of these exemplars: "User Visible Name Key" and "Plugin Pack ID". Some growable lots do not have them but I am not certain if I should keep or delete these. Is "Item Description Key" for Plop Lots only? Perhaps I should delete that. Anyway, here are the updated versions of the lots. Anyone can test these out. Tell me if it works. Report any bugs or errors. bripizza_warehouse_relot_Hellken_test_v02.rar

    @Jasoncw @T Wrecks Thank you both for your advice. It's been really helpful. I got this error message on SC4 PIM-X after copy-&-pasting in iLivesReader.

  16. Hellken's Lots

    Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Thanks. So I followed your advice and created a 'dummy' lot. I notice the growable 'dummy' lot created in PIM-X does not have all the exemplars. For example, "Capacity satisfied" is not present in the .SC4LOT file... ...but it is present in the .SC4DESC file: Should I just copy all the exemplars in the .SC4DESC into the .SC4LOT file?
  17. Wow! I am very impressed with all the effort to test this. Thanks! So what is the purpose of the .SC4DESC file in this context? It seems only the .SC4LOT file is the only critical file.
  18. Thanks! Do I need to edit both the .SC4LOT FILE and. SC4DESC ? Will anything happen if I edit one but not the other?

    So compact! Every square meter of land occupied. How long did it take to plop all of this?

  20. Hellken's Lots

    Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Hi thanks for your reply. Do I really need to remake the lots from scratch on PIM-X? (I have always had trouble getting that to work on my system properly). Would making a new "dummy" lot with the same lot dimensions on PIM-X (to get the stats right) then copy & pasting the stats into Reader do the same trick? *I did these on LotEditor.

    All these years I have been here, I have never seen this or any of Fribe's content. This is a good find.

    Now there's something creative you don't see everyday.

  23. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Hellken replied to JakeMD's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    You can't use this to connect between cities. They are just lots. They don't go underground. Anyway, not much of a problem. I'm fixing the look of something I am making.

    My first time seeing these. Good to know they have been updated recently. Thanks for updating @Tyberius06

  25. North American Freight Cars Prop Pack

    Hellken commented on Angry Mozart's file in Dependencies

    You should seriously consider 'Datpacking' this into one .dat file and rename this as a MEGA Prop Pack. (It was the first thing I did after downloading.) No, probably the first UBER Prop Pack! No prop pack has ever gotten that large. My goodness the true size is about 305 MB (!!!) once unpacked. (I thought it was 25.42 MB until I took a closer look!) I cannot imagine the amount of dedication put into making this. Truly outstanding work. Thank you.
