Awesome model. Look forward to seeing the textures you choose!

What your looking at there are called "overhanging props" Essentially props rendered off center in bat. When lotted they hang over into adjacent tiles. It would be a million times easier to bat your own rather then change all the individual fsh files in these. Do a search and you should find info on how to do it but essentially it's very simple and would only take minutes to make if you already know how to use bat.

Awesome Job!. You've captured the look and feel of Holland magnificently! Keep it up!

happy birthday Xylo and Dirk....and many many more.

Then they closed the forums and the only link provided leads here. What in Dog's name did you think would transpire with such an arrangement???? Seems to me if you blow off a couple thousand people and provide one sole link which just happens to lead exactly here......guess where they are going to show up. I didn't invite theses guys to the party.....it's obvious that the responsiblilty lies with mc, their direction, and the willingness of this fantastic website to take on the trouble. I love simtropolis but ya gotta ask who opened the door and invited the trolls in........thats what i think of their new site I sincerely feel sorry for all the mods that are going to have to moderate this if things don't change pronto....hats off to ya all and thank you.

Originally posted by: fukuda MC told us that CXL wouldn't be a CL or SC4 sequel, that it would be a different game. quote> yet at e3 only weeks previous to this the marketing director of mc called the single player componet "much like sc4" article link -> E3 2009: A chat with Cities XL's Alexandre Zambeaux Those are their words not ours. Furthermore that is what they are saying to E3 which happens to be much more influential then we are. So do i listen to you fukuda or do i listen to their marketing director at E3, Seems to me they are willing to tell different crowds different things. A sure way to lead to dissappointment and confusion. Can you really blame anyone with being rather dissappointed by this??. This is by no means a complaint. Just an accurate representation of what is coming out of their departments and their marketing director. I myself will not be dissappointed since i will wait and see since i almost never purchase software on release.....but i know what is being said in some circles is rather misleading. Again who does the public believe.....their marketing director advertising to the world at e3 or...... fukuda........ Bud

Originally posted by: LivingInThePast OK, I've got news...Cities XL is not SimCity. quote> article link -> E3 2009: A chat with Cities XL's Alexandre Zambeaux The funny thing is i found this in an article on massively.com in an interview with Alexandre Zambeaux at E3 2009. The article is dated june the 8th 2009. question - How will this be an MMO? Does it redefine the genre, or simply introduce something fresh? awnser - Well, here's the thing: it's not just an MMO. At launch, the game can actually be purchased off the shelves at your favorite retail store and played as a single-player city-builder, much like SimCity 4. quote> alex happens to be the marketing director for cities xl as seen in the article. So while at the same time they are saying that cities xl is not sc4 in the forums they themselves are comparing it to exactly that at e3. This is the kind of thing that is causing so much confusion. Note the date and when this occured. They are talking one way in the forums and another at e3 in exactly the same time frame. boggles the mind. bud

Originally posted by: aking88 Comparing eye candy based custom content airport packs (not that they are not great) with fully integrated, supported professional products is flawed to say the least. quote> No offence but this comment is highly unrealistic. 99% of off the shelf software is complete garbage riddled with bugs, and support simply dissapears as soon as the product fails to sell. Your comment is purely wishful thinking though i can understand the hopes and dreams involved. Don't get me wrong, i hope they succeed and the game is as awsome as some us are hoping, however until the final product hits the market and it actually lives up to all it's claims, we really can only speculate. If you disagree i highly suggest next time you buy a game you simply close your eyes, twirl around and randomly pick a title. I'm sure you'll be quite satisfied with the professional title. Me im going to play some sc4d, dwarfortress or openttd.....might even switch to linux. All of which exist or still exist because of all the non-professionals out there. Bud

haven't updated here in awhile....so heres some pics...getting close.

i'm currently using Firefox/2.0.0.12, I know it's out of date but there are many tweaks i use that are unavailable for the newer firefox. Also this is the only site i get these scripting issues. I get an "unresponsive script" that firefox reports is caused by screen.css and layout.css which seem to result in an "overflow" error. cheers. .

Great news Dirk! Bunny for you!! Please, at every opportunity, remind these kind folks that this community you represent would not exist without custom content!!!!..... Cheers. Bud

dasilva.....By the coarse of action your company has taken there are two possible out comes. With a successful game you have great approach, however if the game fails to reach it's market's target, without modders there is now no hope they will be able to tweak, expand and/or fix it along with the fact that with a failed target, your online content and world will most likely disappear in a relative short time.... With the way of the economy i personally would say it's foolish to expect people to budget for online content..... but then again what do i know? Lets hope you hit that home run for the sake of those mouths you have to feed

I have come away with one good question from this thread i can't answer .......why did i just read it?????
