Do you want a SimCity 4 Online Multiplayer Launcher ?
chirila1609 replied to chirila1609's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
So this time no imagies but i can cofirm that tomorrow i will try to replicate the file thing so (replacing old tile file with new tile file) and also if somone is good at making mods for SimCity 4 is it possible to make a trading mod (like the trade depot in SimCity 2013 and the arrows on the map) and also is there a mod that adds in the game mega towers or elite mega towers or how can you do models for them becuase in dont think that you can do models for SimCity 4 in blender or other 3D programs and also the results for the polls are 60 but i am still working maybe many people did not see this but maybe they want and i also saw that SimCity 4 does not have coal, oil......... so it would be just water and power and a great work build maybe a tile or 2 or 3 tiles that has a special build that you can place on them in the category of atractions so far the progress is not that much i've only done the launcher and the host app but it works and it will get better in time i hope you did not think that i abandoned the project. -

So yesterday i worked on prototype 2 of the launcher and i've also made a liitle bit of the onlinne menu and today i also want to make a video of how will the server work (i will play SC4 Multiplayer) to show that it will work (I hope it will work) it will be the first test of the online future but now the new launcher and also i will also try to get rounded button to work but for now the second prototype I've implemented a little bit of the online part (SimCity 4 World named after SimCity World) unfortenly it opens in a new window i will fix that if it is a problem for you and also i made a little part of my profile and yes i will try to make achivments work, the launcher will check your region and if on your save is somthing for the achivment (lets say popoulation it will check for popullation) and then it will send a notfication (windows notification) and now the global market tab can somone pls tell me what resources has SimCity 4 becuase i dont think there are resources like oil...... can somone tell me and if there are resources mods to put that resources there and the challanges tab (now there is "No challenges yet but visit simtropolis on the forum to see challenges") Leaderboard the same tha launcher will check the region files for information. And my favorite SimCity 4 Excange i am still working on that one so how it will work (only if i can et permission to put the website on a webview on the launcher) so i will put simtropolis on an webview (only the excange tab) when a user clicks download it will download in the launcher folder and then the launcher will automatly move the mod/plugin how do you want to call it to the plugins folder thats why its my favorite i tooks sometime to install mods/plugins but theres a problem with that when you download something it comes in a rar/zip i will see if i can make the launcher unzip the file with an unzip program that you have and friends it is just there i will see if you would like the ability to have friends and also teams it is in my mind teams and teams in leaderboard and the settings modify game settings/ online settings/ launcher settings updates here you can see update hystory and what is new and update your launcher this will make impossible online play if you have an older version of the launcher and the server/region select says for it self what it does so this is my progress, and also the poll will end in 22 hours 30 minutes so vote when you can. And also can i get the permission to put the exange part of the website in the excange tab ? -

This is a response to Mr_Robotico questions now lest start with the feuters: Play online with your friends with a brand-new launcher! Supports offline game. Public and private servers. Choose how many players can join a server. Account system for protecting your cities and leaderboard. Now the friend list i am not sure about that, i dont think that anone will use this but if i create this the feutures will be: see in what server your friend is playing and if your friend is playing offline and you could join its offline game (same for online it will be a join button) after that the player will recive a notification that somone wants to join its offline game if he accepts he will be swithed to online and the region will be sent to the server where the server gives the region to the friend and you can play toghether but when the friend leaves you will be swithed back to offline mode Now the regions, so there will be the Maxis default region and the regions you upload from anyfolder (must not conating a save blank region) (blank region=no cities on the region) and if you want to share the region with evreyone you can upload it to the main server where we host the game not you but it will first go throu an virus scan Now plugins/mods i said plugins because evreyore it says plugins not mods but how this will work so when you will connect to a server your plugins and the other players plugins will be shared with you (more percycly downloaded) and after you leve the others mods/plugins will be deleted, hop that i answerd your question. hope that i answerd your questions -

So anybody remembering the lost SimCity 4 Online Multiplayer Project (PMR Poppy Multiplayer Regions) I want to recreate exacly that, you will be able to download an launcher wich you can play online and offline (you can select) and modify game settings exacly like the exsisting SC4 Launcher but with online capabilites and with the look of the SimCity 2013 Launcher how it will work you ask if you ask you will have your own account with a name and password and you will log in with that account on the launcher if you chek the online box you will need to select a server/region how you want to call it and then the download bar will download the region to your local computer and will do the same with the other player it works like PMR worked now lets talk about the hosting your own server on your own PC you will be able to do that and you can also select the option that the server will be private (only for you and selected friend, yes you will be able to add other players to your friend list sometime) you can change serve/region name and select what region you like and you will be able to view the joined players and now lets talk about security and the protection of your tile so when you save or create a city the tile file will change its name to your name and the city name youve writen if the server sees that onother player with a difrent name saves it will not accept the save file to be updated to evreyone and not even the player so other player will not be able to destroy your city YAY, now lets talk about mods/plugins how you like to say it so the launcher will create a new folder in your plugins folder named SC4M (SimCity 4 Multyplayer) where you will place your mods/plugins the server will also download that file and upload that to the other players plugins folder but when they stop playng the game the plugins/mods will be deleted(only the downloaded ones) So this methode will not be exploitable and now the Mods and the new fetures to the game with the launcher you will be able to select if you want to install the SC4M Trade mod this mod will alow for player in onlne and offline to trade resources with other cities (power, water, money,......) yes and when you go to the region map it will show floating arrows in diffrent colors exacly like SC2013 and yes this is possible to add new UI/GUI to the game throu mods and now lets talk about the launcher and account part so as i said you will be able to create your own account with your selected profile picture if you want now the launcher will have a leaderboard exacly like SC2013 (the most region with the most population, money.....) and now the friend list i dont know about this one but we will see i would relly like to make this but i am asking this because i don't know if there is enogh interest for this and also i want to be an excange part where players will be able to download mods/plugins and buildings...... (most licke a webview of simtropolis mod/plugins and buildings page) and the player will be able to get multiplae tile and have multiple city and i was thinking if it is possible to make a tile a great big tile how it is called in SC2013, this will be a new future for SC4 What do you think guys ? Would you like this ? And also here are some pictures with the prototype launcher and server host app.As you could see in the photos the launcher is made to look like SC2013 Launcher But it is still a prototype and the host server app is made to look like the SimCity 2000 NE Server app they are SimCity inspierd to look like the rest if SimCity, What do you think ? Would you like and install this ? Do you want this ? You can reply with an answer or go to a pole from reddit: r/SimCity 4: And r/SimCity: Vote pls your decision is my decision so vote i will do whatever you players decide. And you are proably questoning why am i questining this and the answer is that i am not sure that there are enoght intersed people in this. Pls Vote.- 14 Replies

Poppy Multiplayer Regions for SC4
chirila1609 replied to jmak's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
So i am back with a new follow up messages so ive made a prototype launcher for online and offline play and a prototype host server minde that they are just prototypes and i will improve them vreyday and will write a message/comment so here are the photos, Please view all photos and after the photos i will say how the server and client works togheter for pmr (i will use if i can the same techinque) pls read if you want to understand so here are the prototypes: Launcher: (you can play offline and online with the launcher and you can modify the settings if you want (resolution, mods.........) and i've made it too look like SimCity 2013 Launcher but mind that it is still a prototype, also ive mede it in C to make it work better and resolve some bugs that the game had with python. So these were screenshots with the launcher prototype as i sayed you can select offline or online, modify the settings or start the game. Server/Region Host app (this one is a server/region host prototype i've trayed to make it look like SimCity 2000 NE Host app)And now for the moment that all of you i think waited for (how the server and the launcher work toghether) So i've seen many comments about the server source code but the problem is that there is no server code (in a way stay with me to tell you) so what i am sayng is that the launcher does it all. First of all lets start with the begining of this so the launcher downloads the region to your local PC and then you can start the game and play but the launcher downloads the files from the server and after that you say i want to save my city now when you saved the city (when you save a city in SimCity 4 it modifies the tile file in the region folder) Now the launcher sends the modified file (the new save file) to the server and that will replace the old one and then the server or the launcher (in the server case the server send the new save file to the other players local folder or the launcher retrives that thata from the server and downloads it and that makes the game more simpler to run with more players because players dont have to restart their game for the other cities to show or the modifications to show. In my opinion this server is more like an FTP server that stores the region with the save files and recives the new save files and replaces them and for that map that shows what tiles are ocupied and not ocupied, for ths to work the launcher map searches throw all the region save files and if one save file is named after the person that created the city that is emideatly an ocuppied tile so the map send that data back and the player can see that map and now for the anti grief protection so you creted an account that you cannot change your name or create a new account with a used name so the launcher serches if you have the same name as the player that created that city and if you dont have the same name when you save it will try to rename the tile after you and the server/launcher will reject that save so there is a little bit of code on the server or the launcher makes it all i looked throu the code but i did not have the neccesary time and i also created this two prototypes so tell me if you like thouse they are a little bit ugly but i wil improve them and i had a cool idea that the launcher will stick to the windows theme that you have idk will see replys or comments to simplify what i said or if you did not understand i've made an ilustration about this so the site puted the photo up idk but it is up i would relly like to make this project if i can. And i also thank CorinaMarie because she puted that code in a spoiler box thank you again for helping. -

So you dont actually need python to open this files so this is the code: (there are two codes one for pmrclient.py and another for setup.py) pmrclient.py: (python code) And also there is a config file witch is emtpy. Cori edit: I put that code in a Spoiler Box to save mouse wheels. -

Hi, So i asked on reddit how i can play with my friends SC4 Multiplayer one of the sugested this and after said edit:Servers are down for it so red this entire story on this forum and i wanted to share how the website looked before the closure this phothos are from August 20 2018: If youd press on download the launcher it would go to the launcher github page where you could download it but we cant mecke accounts anymore so i want also to download the launcher and find a way to decompile it so i can make the code open source so somone that knows to code (i know too but i dont know how she/he coded it, weel see) if i can i will finish this project or somone else. EDIT: So i found something if you go to https://github.com/cizmic/pmr-client/releases there you can find some kind of source code of the launcher unzip it and you will find some intresting things like a config file, setup.iss, setup.py and a read me file wich opens in your browser and also i found pmrclient.py and a file called PMR-SaveReminder.dat so i think it was a reminder to save your game so it was able to send notifications or if you goed to the app it will show and i also found something verry intresting syncnotice.sc4 which there are photos of it This photos show that the launcher had its own UI in the game this starts to be verry intresting and also a photo called sync notice witch is a photo of a blue scuare that dose not want to import into the website but intrestingly enoght i thinck that the blue square is a notification icon but i am not sure and also there is a photo for the region map is curently unavailable this is all i found in the github source folder that is intestring when i get back home i will research this project more and also for the intestrd reders a PY/py file extension is a python file so i think the program was made with python code and the ISS/iss file says for itself install shield file so the install uses install shield so when i will go back home (twmorrow) i will look into the python code on my main pc but for now i will let this post.
