I go by street names. For example: Lancaster Corning Hill Clinton Hackett Helderburgh and so on. Or, local town names. Some generic-isj ones near me: Bethlehem Loudonville Guilderland East/North (we don't have a west or south, or just a plain) Greenbush Ravena

Also, all bridges conduct electricity.

It looks like you have a texture conflict there. Try removing plugins one at a time until the problem goes away. Which snow mod did you download? If you downloaded a land texture, it will be permenant, not seasonal. If you downloaded the Extra Cheats DLL, you will need to move it manually, as Datpacker doesn't recognize DLL files. Then you need to open the cheat box (Ctrl-X, I think), right click on it, and select the snow cheat, then hit enter. Snow will only appear on land above a certain elevation, and only in winter months. Also, with Datpacker, you'll need to make sure you don't have any files that aren't in folders, i.e. you can't have a file in MyDocs/SimCity 4/Plugins, so move it to MyDocs/SimCity 4/Plugins/New Folder or whatever. If you don't, Datpacker won't see it, and you'll have to copy it by hand.

^Perhaps beginning to worry seriously? Beginning seriously to worry? Anyway, great update MrC! I can't wait to find out more about the black night...

Okay, from what I can tell, you want to increace demand for I-HT and R$$$, and lower demand for I-D and R$. Basically, provide services like education and health to the residents, lower taxes for the things you want, and raise them for the things you don't. Keep in mind though, you'll need some R$ no matter what. It can be in a neighboring city, but it has to be there somewhere. I find the best way to satisfy that is to download large R$ lots from the STEX and make projects: concentrated areas of high-density R$.

Schnabo: Sure. Do you want to draw them or do you want me to? I'm fine with either. sc4portugal: Welcome back! That'll be in the next update.

Very nice! EDIT:Here's the updated geography. The Digital Network has a flag up already, as an example. More will come soon.

Only by converting them to roads, avenues, or highways. EDIT: And GLR->El Rail should be in the GLR puzzle pieces button. Just press TAB or Shift-TAB to cycle the pieces in reverse.

Shasta: Ah, I meant to fix that. It'll be taken care of in the next update. Maal: Welcome to Simtropolis! Feel free to request a spot on the map.

Cool. Now the whole southern continent is filled.

Done. EDIT: Darned page flip...

yes it is. I'll put you on as soon as I can.

Awesome! I've always loved flying. But I don't want to drop a bunch of money on FS. This is great!

I don't think the Brooklyn Bridge is. The Manhattan Bridge is. But I think the Brooklyn Bridge is just the one, save the pedestrian walkway. And that doesn't really go above the road except at the towers. Also, the Brooklyn Bridge is already in the game, sort of. I think they call it "Medium Suspension." EDIT: Here's the diagram from Wikipedia: So, the pedestrian part is sort of double decker-ish. I don't quite know that that's what this project is about, though. It seems to me that it's more of a double road deck thing, like the Manhattan or San Fran-Oakland Bay Bridges. I must say that the Brooklyn Bridge is an absolutely amazing piece of architecture. That it can last so long and still be able to serve the needs is quite amazing.

Sim_Air: Go right ahead. JanYpe: Welcome! Let me know if you want a spot on the map. Fox: Sure. It would actually be easiest to just merge a few of the nations. Like maybe you could take both the pink next to Met. Hou. and the reddish-brown next to Audland? But if you want to draw custom islands, go right ahead. Post an image here in a lossless format (PNG, bmp, or the like. Try to avoid jpg, they're hard to deal with) and tell me about where you want it, and I'll do my best to fit it in. Or, I can sketch something up and put it in. Your choice.

Make sure the two stretches are longer than about three tiles, are right next to each other, and don't intersect anything. If that doesn't work, go into your plugins folder and make sure that the RHW plugin is in the right place; it should be in a folder within your Network Addon Mod folder. Mine is in My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\Network Addon Mod\Rural Highway Mod. That should fix it, I think...

Yeah, I don't know that uploading a RAR is a lockable offense. Perhaps suggest to the uploader. Perhaps build restrictions into the software to prevent RAR uploads. But lock it for those of us with Winrar or comparable? Come on.

Here's a good story for you: ELM MOTT, Texas — A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a "nerd" over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson. As he made his way toward Texas, Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares posted photos online showing the welcome signs at several states' borders, as if to prove to his Internet friends that he meant business. When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy's trailer down. This week, Tavares, 27, was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading no contest to arson and admitting he set the blaze. "I didn't think anybody was stupid enough to try to kill anybody over an Internet fight," said John G. Anderson, 59, who suffered smoke inhalation while trying to put out the 2005 blaze that caused $50,000 in damage to his trailer and computer equipment. The feud started when Anderson, who runs a haunted house near Waco, joined a picture-sharing Web site and posted his artwork and political views. After he blocked some people from his page because of insults and foul language, they retaliated by making obscene digitally altered pictures of him, he said. Anderson, who went by the screen name "Johnny Darkness," traded barbs with Tavares, aka "PyroDice." Investigators say Tavares boiled over when Anderson called him a nerd and posted a digitally altered photo making Tavares look like a skinny boy in high-water pants, holding a gun and a laptop under a "Revenge of the Nerds" sign. Tavares obtained Anderson's real name and hometown from Anderson's Web page about his Museum of Horrors Haunted House. Tavares took leave from his post as a weapons systems operator at the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center in Dahlgren, Va., and started driving. Investigators say he told them he planned to point a shotgun at Anderson and shoot his computer. Instead, when he got to Elm Mott — after posting one last photo of a "Welcome to Texas" sign — Tavares threw a piece of gasoline-soaked plastic foam into the back of Anderson's mobile home and lit a flare, authorities say. Tavares' attorney, Susan Kelly Johnston, said his trip to the Waco area was a last-minute decision during a cross-country trip to visit his parents in Arizona. She said he never intended to hurt Anderson and did not think he was in the trailer when he set the fire. James Pack, an investigator with the McLennan County Sheriff's Office, caught up with Tavares after talking to people in several states and Spain who had been involved in the online feud. Tavares' cell phone records showed he was in the Waco area at the time of the fire, Pack said. Tavares told investigators that Anderson had spread computer viruses and insulted his online friends for too long, Pack said. "He lost everything — all over an Internet squabble," the investigator said. Tavares was discharged last year from the Navy, where he earned several medals — including the pistol expert and rifle expert medals — in his nine-year career, said Navy spokesman Mike McLellan. Tavares would not let the feud go even at his sentencing. According to Pack, Tavares took cell-phone photos of Anderson in the courtroom while the judge was hearing another case. Authorities ordered the photos erased. Anderson, an ex-Marine who served in Vietnam, said he continues to be harassed online, has been startled by people knocking on his window late at night and found bullet holes in a door to his business. He said he is convinced the harassment is related to the Internet feud and plans to spend $30,000 on more fencing topped with barbed wire. "Before this happened, the rule was: Nobody messes with the haunted house guy," Anderson said. quote> I found this via Techdirt, and I liked the way they summed up their article: So, while the typical admonition to those engaging in flame wars is to remember that it's a real person on the other side, we'd also like to add "who may be so crazy that they'll come burn down your house."quote> Seriously, though. What kind of person drives 1,300 miles because of an edited picture?

I sketched up a quick model for a GLR on ave station: Obviously the model needs some work (this was mostly a proof-of-concept render, and this is also my second model to ever make it into the game), but mostly I need to know how to transit enable this. It fleshes up because of how the puzzle pieces are, but traffic won't go through it. So how would I go about making this a GLR station with transit enabling? I'd also like to be able to see the trains, too.
