Anthracite

Very much appreciated. I revisit SC4 every three or four years and every time has a new, better surprise. The bad thing is that I always have to remember how to install the mods and figure things out, in general

Hi there! One of my favorite Pegasus is PEG Power Tower Pylons. I was wondering, how can I edit the power pylon lot so it doesn't show a paved texture under the pylon but rather no texture at all, so it looks more realistic? Especially in rural settings. The reskin by Pegasus is supplied as a .DAT file.

Big thank you for the explanation!

My first "parallel T incherchange". I'll clean it up in the next few hours. As compact as I could. If someone can point out how to improve, please drop a comment. Thank you all.

11. I would add Yellow Pause Thingy Remover

Thanks, Lucario. Served me perfectly with NAM 45 using JDatPacker.

Sure, I'm checking that! Thank you!

Totally white FlexHT Flexible Height Transitions bug on Mac. Wrote a title to help other users find the post if they have a similar issue. After Tarkus made clear that pieces should be cycled using CTRL + TAB when playing on Mac I come again with this: Apart from being totally white, on slope and ramp transitions cannot be overridden with other networks, nor do their job of changing the height of the network upon building over them. This time I have no idea of what to do. Maybe I'll create a topic concerning what I learned while using NAM on Mac to help other newcomers like me. Thank you!

Haha, big thank you!

NAM 41 missing features on Aspyr 1.2.1 Rush Hour for Mac. I installed NAM 41 with the included Java-based tool, several times. All features checked twice each time, but during gameplay, I can notice some elements not being present, and they are the ones you would use frequently, such as: Only SAM textures 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 are available. Only RHW-4, -3, -6C, -8C, -10S, -4 L1, -3 L1, -6C L1, -8C L1, -10S L1, -4 L2, -3 L2, -6C L2, -8C L2, -10S L2, MIS L3, -4 L4, -6S L4; are available. At this point, I don't exactly know which are missing, but they're a lot for sure. No double deck nor 6S, for example. Only RHW-4 inner curve and dual lane shift. Multi radius curve R2 and R4. MIS S-curve, MIS 45 degree. RHW-2 S-curve and 90 degree large curve. RHW-3 S-curve and 45 degree curve. RHW-6S single lane shift and 45 degree smooth outer curve. RHW-8S 45 degree smooth outer curve. RHW-6C lane shift. RHW-10S smooth outer curve. Under the RealRailway RealHSR category I have access only to the pieces shown below; (3) Tile Hybrid Orthogonal Piece, (4) Tile Hybrid Diagonal Piece. Radius #1, #3, #5. 7.5 m Onslope piece. A1 and D2 turnout. If needed, I can list other sets of features but so far, these have been the most obvious since I haven't played a lot yet with railways, one way roads, et cetera. Even tried datpacking since I read somewhere, the Mac version gets unstable after certain amount of items in Plugins folder, but it was not satisfactory. Let me now if this is a matter of a dedicated topic. Attached are screenshots of some of the folders for the mentioned items.

So there's no way to use mods in the base form of DLLs like Extra Cheats anymore?

Mine only goes up to 1280x800. Playing Aspyr's 1.2.1 on a Macbook Pro Retina mid-2014.

Does anyone know how to use custom resolution in Aspyr's 1.2.1 version? There is a config file under SimCity 4 folder in Documents, but resolution is nowhere to be found.

Is it possible for me to join the club? Alejandro Cárdenas Male Taurus

Este año me he conectado a Simtropolis con tan poca frecuencia, que cada vez que llego me encuentro con algún desarrollo nuevo. Realmente es agrabale saber que un producto del año 2004 sigue estando en vigencia. Por otro lado, a principios del año pasado ya me había comprometido con @Tarkus a traducir al español parte del NAM. El progreso durante este 2020 de cuarentena ha sido casi nulo (primero estudio, luego trabajo, otras ocupaciones, entrenamiento, etc). Sin embargo hoy aprendí una manera un poco más rápida y organizada de editar los archivos LTEXT del NetworkAddonMod_Locale_english.dat. Lo he renombrado como NetworkAddonMod_Locale_spanish.dat. Cada vez que uso el programa modifico unas 100 entradas al menos, y son aproximadamente 2700, así que ahí vamos. Diría que voy por un 30% de progreso. Hace ya un tiempo el señor @matias93 ya estaba enterado de esto. Ahora, ya se ha lanzado el NAM 37, así que estoy un poco desorientado. Si alguno sabe con quién puedo comunicarme, para acercarnos a cumplir el sueño de expandir este proyecto al español, por favor responder . Muchas gracias. ¡Hasta pronto! NetworkAddonMod_Locale_spanish.dat

Ladies, gentlemen, good evening. Eleven months ago I contacted @Tarkus, offering my help regarding a possible translation of the NAM to the Spanish language. I was asked then to translate every single LTEXT from NetworkAddonMod_Locale_english.dat. I'm saving the changes by creating a new NetworkAddonMod_Locale_spanish.dat file. However, I request some assistance concerning several points: 1. There are several entries marked as "Unknown" with uncomprehensible symbols and letters or readable letters separated with points, namely: 2. In case it can, how will it be implemented in NAM 37? 3. What are the other core/documentation files to be translated? I'd like to open this up to Hispanic-speaking players. Let's talk about it friends. NetworkAddonMod_Locale_spanish.dat

I have only used ILive's editor (latest version). To translate the files, I have individually rewritten the text of every entry I have found and that's it. Respecting ortographic accentuation (tildes), as @Edvarz described, there are accents in every word where needed. However, it wasn't until recently that I got to crash the game (I test the menus every once in a while).

Listo. Tomaré en consideración, especialmente "Monorriel" y "Autopista RHW". Vale, quedará bajo el término general "a desnivel", que incluirá a "sobre nivel" y "bajo nivel", como en las instancias "Overpass" y "Underpass". ¿Tienes alguna idea de editar en iLive's editor como en Buscar y Reemplazar? Me permitiría cambiar todos los "elevado" a "sobre nivel". Underpass y Overpass como son usados en SC4, haha.

¡Gracias por la mención Matías! Apenas me doy cuenta que hay casi un centenar de nosotros desarrollando aún esto. Por mi parte nunca antes me había involucrado. Saludos desde Aragua, VE. Al apartado 5, por cierto, le solemos decir adosados, como "casas adosadas" o "edificios adosados". Como nota, estas son las equivalencias que he usado: Road (One Way Road): Carretera (Carretera Unidireccional) Tram/GLR: Tranvía Monorail: Monorraíl Street: Calle Highway (Elevated): Autopista (Elevada) Rail: Ferrocarril Bus: Bus At-grade: A nivel RHW: Autopista Realista (en verdad necesito ayuda aquí. Me parece un nombre un poco cursi. Podemos ponernos de acuerdo para darle un nombre más agradable. Quizá simplemente Autopista seguido de la clasificación RHW-X/XC/XS) Overpass: Paso Elevado FLUPs: FLUPs. Descrito como paso subterráneo , entre otros. Por favor opinen acerca de esto, a ver qué cambios se le pueden hacer. Muchas gracias.

Hi, Well, yeah, I've been overriding as described. However, last time I did it, I found that switching between Wide Radius Curves for AVE, RD, OWR et cetera, the game crashes, not to desktop, but stops responding and has to be killed via Task Manager I don't know how to diagnose and remedy it.

Hi there, SimCity, like any simulator game, requires involvement and time. However, spending hours sitting in front of a PC is often far from satisfying. That's why I looked for a way to play with the comfort of a couch and TV. Here it is. In my case, I have a PS3 controller. This one is not as easy to set up as an Xbox controller, but it is completely possible. While you need two programs to use the former, you only need one for the latter. Step 1. (Only for PS3 controller) Download driver and wrapper for the controller: GitHub user Nefarius last released ScpToolkit in 2016, so it's not updated anymore, but it works perfectly. Download the last version here: ScpToolkit GitHub Download Installing it is pretty straightforward and quick. With your PS3 controller plugged in via USB, select all the components to be installed. Once done, look for ScpToolkit Driver Installer and check the boxes for your controller and Bluetooth device. This process ends in 5 minutes and will notify you of the success with the above message. Now you should see the controller lights turn fixed instead of blinking. Now you have the power, but you need control. Few games for PC have controller support, let alone decade-old games like SimCity 4. That's why you need another piece of software, which works for any game and program, too! It's called AntiMicro. It binds controller keys with keyboard and mouse functions. reWASD does the same, but it is paid. Step 2. Install key mapper: AntiMicro is also in GitHub. You can get it here: AntiMicro GitHub Download Get the portable version if you want. AntiMicro is easier to install. Just click next. Once installed, you'll get to the setup screen. Here you can assign keyboard or mouse functions to every button in the controller. Only one is not accessible for the PS3 and is the PS button, which by default opens up Windows Game Bar. At the bottom, you can preset multiple mappings that adapt to different situations. For example, you can map L stick to control the pointer in SC4 to have your right hand free to activate other functions of your liking. In a shooter game, you'd use the L stick to look around. An important feature is the stick's range of movement. By default, it is lightly restricted for up and down movement, but it's changed in "Diagonal Range" upon clicking the "L- or R- Stick" button. Its sensitivity is adjusted in "Mouse Configurations". A key's normal behavior and mapping can be changed in the "Advanced" tab for each one. It can have multiple functions, depending on how long was pressed or other conditions. For example, here, the "Select" button is set to have two functions: TAB to cycle items in-game or Windows/Super after pressing for 0.5 seconds. The possibilities depend on your tinkering with it. Just get creative with mappings and I'm sure you can make use of many of the same functions of the keyboard while playing. Further reference can be found here: AntiMicro Wiki Final Word: Here you have another way to play. As said earlier, get creative and enjoy the game. Let's keep it alive!
