I have recently re-installed SC4 and RH and then re-installed the patches (SKU and BAT nitelighting). However, I am still having problems on startup. As the game starts, I get a black screen with the mouse pointer, which I presume is where the game is loading the data. However, this screen disappears and I get a CTD, within about 30-60 secs. I have included the exception report below: Exception time: 06/22/2006, at 19:20:53. Exception code: 0xC0000005 (-1073741819) ACCESS_VIOLATION. Current thread ID: 2232 (0x000008b8).

in this country(UK), both SC4 and RH

i have re-installed it twice and i have the SKU2 so it cant be that unfiortunately

think about the road/street layouts in your area and try to draw trhem out on a piece of paper with just horizontal and diagonal sections. i have a book full of these and it is really helpful, and of course once u have enough, u can mix up the bits to make new combos

wth? three posts saying exactly the same thing!?! you should really really not do that, we call it spamming

great work darmok, thanks for those cool images, they must have taken ages to do. its so cool to be at the end of the list of posters lol

i think it is a problem with the original columbus terrain od, as i decided to try the others last night and they all worked fine in those areas. thanks for the prompt reply though

hello guys, firstly i would just like to say: GREAT WORK!!!! Next, i have a problem, i have loaded a region using the import image feature and it worked great, i then heavily terraformed it in SC4 trerraformer adding some mountains and doing some levelling. When i loaded it in SC4, i saw two problems; the first is that the region image uses Sc4 Terraformer colours. Not a problem i thought, u cant expect these guys to do everything immediately, so i started opening up the cities and then exiting to region view to get the correct water and land textures loaded. however i then encountered a further problem; some of the cities cause a CTD (crash to desktop) when loaded. so i took a region shot for u guys to see. it appears that only cities with really large mountain ranges (in height that is) have/cause this problem. any help would be greatly appreciated!thanks

nope thats not me i say it wont be... the milkman

sorta like kippers

pcdog have a look on the STEX for RMIP and SimWings

sorry so much, triple post

sorry so much, triple post

omg this tool is amazing wouganine! i have just been editing a region and it is simply amazing, thanks a lot i know this has been asked b4 but cant find where, but: is there any chance of having the program auto-update the region picture? thanks and keep up the good work

omg that looks like a photo! this is brilliant work! have you done any BATs before?

great work still jeronij, that underpass looks great, you must be one of the best batters on this site! anywayz, a little story... the other day i searched the STEX for diagonal and how many of the results were yours? morethan half! lol good work, youre quickly getting some serious STEX territory

wow this cj is absolutely bloody amazing! you have some major skills and dedication man, keep it up!

hey choco, this is an amazing CJ (ive been lurking from the start) and the graphics are fantastic, just one question though, where did u get the mod for the dirt rail textures? ive only got the peg one that removes them but that one ur using looks loads better! thanks and keep up the great work!

i think one of the most useful additions to the game at the moment for those of us who play for CJs etc (even if we're not very successful ) would be a "Make Historical" brush, so tjhat you could make a whole area historical, and maybe the addition of two levels of historicalness (is that a word?) so that there is one that the game wont build over, but you can and one so that even you cant accidentally build over it without un-historicalising (what a word! ) it would that be possible as a mod maybe? who knows, we're always being surprised by what our modderrs can do

ive decided to use the jin guang center by skyscraper, thanks for the tut, its really easy now

wow cool stuff the new tool is great!!!!!!!! great work wounagaine and co.

that looks so cool!! i cant wait till this comes out now, counting down the days
