'Demolition Man' The Civil Construction Company was sent down in the early morning to demolish an old paper mill to make space for cleaner industry. Workers were surprised to find their workplace destroyed... A new semiconducter was built in the paper mill's place. Rioters Workers from the demolished mill began rioting in front of the city hall protesting the destruction of their jobs. They demanded an entire year's pay in a lump sum. Meanwhile... Back in the quiet town of Torrentia, a new facility has opened to the educated public. Anyone with a Master's Degree in Engineering or above may attend the programs held in this facility. The Regional point of view Comments Welcome...

That looks like a pretty big project! Can't wait to see what becomes of it, looks good so far.

Replies: Darmok: Thanks! I did use the brick canals from SimGoober's collection, very good stuff, IMO. Cjah: Everyone seems to like the industrial sections a lot for some reason... Thanks for the comment! Lilypad87: Thank you, the university is kinda supposed to represent the college I'm going to now. THANKS TO ALL WHO COMMENTED! Big Trouble in New Gerstaaben After months of conferences and arguements between politicians, the New Gerstaaben City Council decided to demolish an old paper mill to make room for newer industries. Problem is, many will lose their jobs... City Tour A tour of Torrentia Comments Welcome...

Haha, I love that Fox News report! Wow, man, this is freakin' unbelievable! Great job!

Photoshop Lesson 1 Creating a nighttime regional view Okay, here it is! I've finally put together this tutorial for every CJ'er out there that wants to bring realism to SimCity 4! Let's begin... Step 1: Open Photoshop. Step 2: Open up a picture from your game. Step 3: Now you must open up a picture of any sunset. If you do not have one, I'll will provide you with one. http://img351.imageshack.us/img351/4996/sunset9dk.jpg Step 4: Now pay attention. Select the picture from your game, then goto Image > Adjustments > Match Color. You will get a popup window. Look in the Image Statistics area of the window and you should see a thumbnail of your SC4 picture. Goto where it says source, in that same area, and select the sunset picture. You should see the picture get darker in some areas and lighter in others. Don't worry, you can adjust this by messing around with the Image Options right above the Statistics area. Mess around with the settings until you get something you like, and click OK. And you're done! Step 5 (optional): If you want to light up your cities, what you need to do is use the Dodge Tool and just mess around with the settings for that as well to get the best look. *END of LESSON* Well, I hope you enjoyed and learned something from that tutorial. If there is any special effect that you see in my pictures that you like, contact me through PM and I will try to set up a lesson! Thanks for listening!

Gas back home in Los Angeles was hitting $3.50 for supreme and about 3.20 for regular. Its insane. In Savannah its like 2.80 for regular.

Everytime you make one of these development updates, it seems as though you've planted a seed and all we do is watch the beautiful rose grow. (yes, i know that was cheesy, but still your CJ rocks!) Can't wait for the next one!

Replies: Bongoswimp, elkie, Pinchman, Darmok, sloppet: Thanks a lot you guys! elkie: That Mobil Peninsula is mainly an industrial type setting. Although commercial would look nice... (From now on, Trinity Bay Revisited will be done in real-time. You will notice times in the bottom corners of the pictures. Those are the times in-game. Regional shots will be done in correspondence with the time in-game.) Trinity Bay Industrialization! A new life, a new journey... People of the Unknown...

Great development! Can't wait for more, darmok!

~*Supercomputer Up and Running*~ Please contact me if you need help rendering stuff. PM me and I will send you and email address you can send your models to.

Good god, man. THis is intense! I love this CJ, very suspenseful and eerily realistic. (Thats a good thing) Good luck!

I was just wondering if modders are able to create a mod that starts high speed chases between cop and criminals. I was thinking about the Rush Hour trailer and remember seeing a really cool computerized chase scene, not in-game, and thought it would be cool to see those types of things as you're playing. So is it possible?

Sorry that Trinity Bay was lost , it would've been the first CJ I would actully follow. I'll keep it in my signature still just in case Trinity Bay rises again.quote> Heh, wel it has risen again. Check out my signature. There is a new Trinity Bay CJ called Trinity Bay Revisited. Try searching for it cuz its probably lost among the many CJ's on this site. It'll be updated in about a week or so.

Date: 9/2/2005 2:51:18 PM Author: SC4 meister I'd love to render your BAT, but probably won't be able to for another week or two at least, perhaps you should contact pooty. Pooty: Wow, perfect timing, in fact, my computer/video card crashed just as I was replying to your post.  I'm not sure what the '' meant, lol, because there are a lot of renders going on, most of which you don't see because people e-mail or MSN or PM me, so be carefull what you ask for, you might just get some!  Thanks for the offer, if you could do one or two that would be great!  If you don't want to render much that's ok too. If you need my help you're gonna have to wait about another week because my computer is en route to my college dorm room.I'm movin' out to Savannah, GA next week for college and it'll be a while before I can set up my computer. Im using my parents computer right now, but I'll PM you when I get mine all set up and ready. And good luck with your computer, meister.

Well, if theres ever an overload of renders you need to do, meister, I could help out too. Specs: P4 3.2 800 mHz 1 Gig DDR 300 Gig HDD 7200rpm

Date: 8/31/2005 1:27:27 PM Author: Pinchman Wow! Nice region and Trinity Bay looks fabulous. The Mobil Peninsula is a piece of art, the main city looks very nice. BTW, I looked everywhere for that terrain mod and I can't find it. Please, could you help me with that, I will appreciate it very much. Thanks! Again, great great CJ.quote> Thank you very much, Pinchman. I really appreciate you comments. As for the terrain mod, you can find the secret site here: http://www.clefsdeschampsserrurier.com/CyclePuppy/CyclePuppyColumbus.htm Enjoy!

Date: 8/30/2005 10:48:36 PM Author: Darmok Very original way of presenting a mosaic. Which, by the way, is beautifull! And that night region shot is also a nice trick. Please tell how you did it! Take carequote> Thank you! But in order for me to tell you about the photoshop technique, I must be on my own computer which will probably be in another week.
