Welcome to Sim City 4 Devotion!, Olympus city is awsome, I cant wait for the first update

Hi! Looking foward to your updates!  :)

Hello and welcome aboard, looking forward to your city. :thumbsup:

ok guys the CJ must go on. its been a very busy two weeks for me with RL stuff but i was able to manage to do an update and let you guys know whats going on at Olympus City.

OLYMPUS CITY WEEKLONG HEAVY RAINS LEADS TO RESEVOIR COLLAPSE!

Olympus City, Olympus. ( Olympus City Press O.C.P. )  After a weeklong of heavy rains and storms, Olympus City was partially washed out to the bay. The Mount Olympus Resevoir, which resides on Government Hill, gave way to flooding waters causing massive flooding in the central part of the city leaving behind a wide canal in the main center of the city. Heavy damage was reported with the city torn in half. Approximately 200,000 Olympians were washed out into the bay reported to be missing or dead. rescue and cleanup efforts are now to be reported to take years. With the opening of the new Olympus City C.B.D. weeks away, the Olympus City Republican Government are now planning to move all the Olympians to the newer part of the city which is the C.B.D. The new part of the city can occupy roughly 400,000 people. The C.B.D. Project was to double the City size and population. Now that Olympus City is severed in half, The C.B.D. is more likely going to be the new Olympus City for the damage is too significant that the damaged buildings still up would cause a safety issue. The soil is so weak that even the ground can't the full weight of a human. More news to follow once it comes in.

The collapse of the Mount Olympus Resevoir destroyed the central part of the city severing the city in half.

LOL Nice first update!!!! Destroying the city! ack!

Loved the disaster, nice pics, again, nice disaster, original ;)  Nice to see u here too..... now where have i seen you beforrre.....? :P :D

Nice start, I love destruction.  But it looked like you had a great city going.  Why destroy?

Great update! Fantastic start! Nice destruction! :thumbsup:

Man that was some SERIOUS lightning...remind me not to get on your bad side....

Neat update and am looking forward to the next.

Brief History of Olympus City, its now in the year 1014 so its gone through 2 going 3 transitions. the second one occurred after it was 75% destroyed from the War of the Republics with Cherry Oaks, and now its going through a 3rd transition after the great resevoir collapse. I do believe this 3rd transformation will expand the city over 3-5 large city tiles depending on final region designs...The CBD was 3 weeks off and on work and will be unveiled in my next update so stay tuned!  For further reading if you would like to read history of Olympus City, please go to my CJ http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=84734
Thanks!

that was wounagaine striking the people of olympus city...i just know it....lol, i love olympus city, nice to see it, and you here at sc4d :thumbsup:

Great storm Filasimo,  Great way to start.  But I do hope the government helps out quicker than in the US.

Terrible storm...

Cali's got it right, I think.  Although I heard it happened when wouanagaine walked across a carpet on a dry day and touched a doorknob.

I'll be watching for the rebuilding.

Good Luck!

For all that you've been waiting for:

Ok guys been a whiles since my last update...RL is hitting hard right now also since im starting to play more poker nowadays and stuff.....but dont worry you guys will be glad to wait this long for this update bc this is something ive been working on for the past month secretly and the flooding my last update opened up the door to my new unveiling of the new Olympus City C.B.D. the new Olympus City version 3.0 I still got a long ways to go with it bc my new project spans over 3 large city tiles aside from the C.B.D and a revitalization of the old Olympus City.  Here is a brief description of the CBD. the central mainland is the downtown area and the two islands are future development which i cant say right now bc its a secret project :P the city is on a dual level terrain with the lower levels along the natural canals which was a pain the shape bc since i used jeronijs seawalls they had to be perfect.... the islands are a lower level so there are  lower level transit connections connecting the lower parts there are two major bridge crossings where there is a tri-level bridge crossing linking the parts of the area together...... ok enough of me talking and more of showing pics:

Thats all for now!

This is pretty cool. :thumbsup: I really like your Chinatown. And the big park. And lots of other stuff too.

Cool stuff. great way to start a CJ. I myself am reclined to use the disasters so it is great tos ee some in action here.

Great city you've got. Grown or plopped? (of course the res cannot be plopped)
The central park looks very nice and the river side with the seawall  :thumbsup:

Nik-Nik

Filasimo,
I love your Chinatown shot.     Do you remember who's buildings you used?  I know a few of them but not all.


---Gaston

thats a very very very good looking city :thumbsup: great rebuild.

Thanks for the comments guys! In replies to your questions:

Gaston: 2ch.net.simplayer made a asian BAT set and so did the HK team. The Chinatown was a pain to grow manually and some didnt grow so i ended up plugging some holes but majority is grown.

niknik: majority of the city is grown cep what i mentioned above to Gaston.

Thanks you guys for the comments! And expect an even better update when im done with it....

More great looking pics.  You might take a look at a couple of the downtown areas- I think you got a repeated "trophy" big building or two that you might want to consider replacing- everything else is pretty much perfect.


David

Some great pics there.  I second what dedgren says about there being some obvious repeated buildings you may want to replace.  Other than that, I love it. :thumbsup:

well, first time here and your md/cj of Olympus City in general. glad im up to par with 3.0. great CBD you have going. will you get to show the supporting areas like suburban and rural as well? would love to see how you do those. til the next update, see you around!

hey guys thanks for all the comments and for the honor of being a classic MD im hoping to come out with an update this week once i finish Lotting the  767 airplanes for the upcoming 767 pack 1...and also to answer some questions and comments

Heinz: im planning on making the rural areas and such around the city once i finish the main city i have some upcoming projects for the city such as the seaport, airport, and naval and military bases, along with the rural areas its a long process which i hope to accomplish since im also now into the world of lotting and also since were planning on making 4 airport 767 packs so yeah so busy i am  :-\

dedgren and rooker: i have on my spare time gone back and killed some of the clones so its not so repetitive...if only there was a way to prevent a building from replicating itself so many times!  :'( i just installed the no maxis building mod so i hope it helps also...

again thanks for the comments and i hope to make an update this week!

Well this is a teaser update so hope u guys anticipate when i have a full update ready...i just started playing again since we all finished the 767 livery pack version 1 so i decided to start work on Olympus City's Airport which is called sensou kinenhi international airport (war memorial international airport) its a japanese name honoring the war veterans from the Battle of the Republics that i had going on in my CJ at ST months ago..so paying homage...anyways i have the runways done and am working on the massive taxiway system which is a pain right now so i decided to take a break and design it on paper so i can get a better visual and idea on how to build it... sorry for the dark pic i didnt realize it was already afternoon!  ??? this will be a huge airport when finished so hope u like the teaser!

Wow....four runways, I can't wait to see the rest.

Robin ;D

Oh yess.... yeah... now I'm loooking forward to this because you are making a four-runway AIRPORT!!!!! $%Grinno$%

ok guys heres teaser update number 2 hopefully in the next 2-3 days i should have a full update knowing how massive this airport is.....i now have the taxiway system done...took me several hours to do and 5 airport diagrams to look upon....i decided to use the DFW taxiway layout bc it was well designed and it would go well with the 4 runway system i still have some terraforming to do for the terminal area and also some terraforming to do for the runways ive started terraforming the runways area if u noticed on the lower center of the pic and know how crappy my mouse is its going to be a pain to get it how i want it stayed tuned!! also if u have and opinions on how to make it better then i would appreciate it in case u do be accurate with ur advice i felt this was the best possible taxiway system i could do with the 4 runways.....

nice job filasimo. Can't wait to see the completed version of the airport  &apls

That is a really cool airport, and one unique looking city you have there! 

Now that you all have been waiting for....Introducing Sensou Kinenhi International Airport. After 10 hours of getting atleast half this airport finished, I can finally show you a more indepth look of the airport. I also included the upcoming Livery Pack....yes it will be released. Voltaire, if you have stumbled onto my update please make sure you read your PM. Thanks. Whats left to do on the pack is sprucing it up and make some finishing touches. Here's a sneak preview of the different possibilities you can do to your airport with the livery packs. Anyways here are some details on SKI:

A mass transit rail system within the airport linking the airport to Olympus City and also the ability to transport passengers around airport to their gates.

Construction is underway to add 2 more concourses totaling the number of concourses to 5.

3 Concourses serve as major hubs to Japan Airlines, Air New Zealand and KLM Dutch Airlines.

2 Concourses server as a Euro Hub which has 4 major Euro Airlines such as British Airlines and Air France to name a few and a US Hub which consists of 5 US major Airlines such as US Airways, and Continental.

Total number of Airlines that will service SKI: 12

Total number of gates when the other two concourses are completed: 102

Now for the goodies! Enjoy!

Man this is absolute a fantastic airport.  &apls  &apls  &apls
But how do you get the airlines stay at their own concourse? And how do you manage to get 3 or 4 different airlines in one airport?

That's a huge airport, nice work.  Maybe too big, IMO.


Robin   :thumbsup: &apls

Nice area you showed us  :thumbsup:
I also liked to see the TS bridge outside of my game for one time  ;D. Great placement  ;)

hey guys thanks for all your comments so far.
sebes:the airlines are part of the upcoming livery pack that will soon be released,

rooker: the reason the airport appears to be big is that it is a full real life scale airport using 16m= 1 tile. the runways are over 3000ft in equivalence enough for a 747 to land. actually if u calcuate the length of the airport terminals using the 16m=1 tile formula, the airport is actual of RL scale that matches some of the terminals like kansai intl airport which is the longest airport terminal in the world at 1.7km in real sense i topped their airport bc i did the conversion and my terminals length from beginning to end was 2.1 km  :). as for in terms of terminal size the number of gates also reflect to real life scale for in actual airports there are actual more than 102 gates such as DFW having over 129 gates. i hope this reassure everyone that the airport isnt oversized and that my intentions was to build a RL scale airport. Thanks!

jeroni: i love your bridge and it turned out perfect i cant wait til you make it a double decker bridge and connect the rail function that would ultimately work out beautifully with the airport transportation system....kansai aiport has actually just a railroad/road bridge connecting their airport.

for more information please check out the wiki for kansai: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansai_Airport
the inspiration for my airport strongly came from the designs of kansai airport :)

oooo pretty i want the KLM! and the ANZ

This update is for the upcoming livery pack.....and the lots are subject to change since i have not finalized it yet i.e. props,etc. and i am waiting on one more piece of the puzzle to be completed. also the KLM wing is partially open with 6 functional gates operating and 4 more set to be installed on the completed side of the taxiway. construction is still underway for the euro hub with the underground rail connection connecting it to the KLM hub. enjoy the pics!

For you viewers i now have small update on the teaser.......introducing Olympus City's bridge to prosperity......i havent named it yet and i ask for your guys creative names for it....japanese names would also be preferred as well. it was a pain and a half to created the two major anchors specially the one with the avenue going under it as for the column bases that was even harder because i had to make a set of 1x1 terrain to create the base so it was made like this:
| 1x1 terrain | water | water| 1x1 terrain |

This new bridge will connect the eastern edge of the city to the new fishing port and western part of the city i will be creating in a future update. the end of the bridges will be also in a future update for they are also unique....stay tuned!!!!

Make sure to post ur suggestion to what the bridge should be named!

thats a really clever way of doing a bridge.... and a great airport too

That's a very cool looking bridge, I bet it took you a long time to get that right  :thumbsup:

Great work fil  ()stsfd() ()stsfd() As frankie said"bet it took you long to get that bridge  right"

(I'm late :) ) what a big airport , realistic sized ! And your fishingport is really nice, like the constract between the big brifge(well made too ) and the fishing port !

that's a beautiful bridge! Great work! :thumbsup:

You even have approach spans :O

thanks for all the great comments guys....i finished the area where the highway curves into the main island and also took a main shot of the bridge hope u like it....next update im hoping to unveil the western side of the skyline and such

BTW the bridge is still nameless so im open for u guys to come up with a name preferable a japanese kind of name.... :thumbsup:

Hey Ryan,
thats one massive airport! That livery pack looks great as well, can't wait ot get my hands on that. I love the way you've done the bridges in this lates update, although I think those walls of concrete are maybe a little out on their own, how about trying a smaller version with Jero's BATs.
Keep up the good work, I'll be back.

Fred

omg that is amazing!!!! the piers! i all i can say is wow! &apls &apls &apls &apls &apls

another great picture of that area! :thumbsup:

Sweet bridge man! Really love it. The extremeley repetitive banks are getting to me though :-/

thanks for all the comments guys! im starting to plan my next update which is the port area...stay tuned!
JJ: im rather interested what ya mean about the repetitive banks? if u could explain that ill see what i can do to alter it  :thumbsup:

wowzers i love that bridge, and that small island with the corner!!

Wow! how you did that bridge is simply amazing! I love it.  ;D

I love the harbor with Somy's fishing port, that is lovely!   &apls

This.. This bridge is stunning!  ;)&apls
I'll convert an english name to japanese if you want :)

Amazing work on the bridge.  I don't know what else to say.  I know that it takes alot of patience, I tried something like that.


Robin   :thumbsup: &apls

Wow this bridge fantastic. Never seen such a long bridge like that in a MD. I also like the layout of the harbour, pretty well done.  &apls

I can't believe this is the first time I've popped over here! The bridge/transportation network you put together on the previous page is quite unique and impressive. You've given me ideas for the future  $%#Ninj2

thanks for all the comments everyone...im hoping i can get back to working on the city progress....been real busy with the wide and diagonal runway project......hopefully i can show the new shipping harbor when i have time to finish it....stay tuned!!

glad to see the bridge turned out so well :P

Boy do I have some goodies for u guys! I have redone the end of the bridge where it curves inland and also i have constructed the new fishing port
currently theres two ports and im thinking about adding a 3rd one on the beside the southern port in the future....next up the west skyline of Olympus City stay tuned!

End part of the bridge before:

Special thanks to masochist for giving me the challenge of redoing the eastern end of the bridge and moshi for providing me a pic of his version.
enjoy!!!

Great work, that bridge is particularly cool, but a bit of a pain to make I bet! Keep it up, mate!  :thumbsup:

Oh nice bridge, I love the way you have loads of different levels of transport networks! I do think the big embankments under those roads look a little unrealsitic, why not try putting some land across there and putting in one of PEGs wide shipping canals instead. this would allow shipping through still (well theoretically) and it would give you room to put some support industries and parking lots for example.
Great work though!

Fred

yeah i noticed that also but had not other way to approach it bc if i make a bridge on level terrain as the port itll be too lay for ships to pass so that was the best solution.....i would use the canal sets but i wanted to give it a more realistic look using the terrain. im also open to any other ideas to improve the look of the port as well

well those red cantilever bridges in the third pic could do with being level road bridges... they look to ornate to be duplicated...

I think this is very unique, multi stack bridges, don't think many people have done that before and you have done it well, mustve cost an arm and a leg though :P

It's very nice but too complexe for me

:thumbsup:

Wonderful bridge you have there! Great details! :thumbsup:

Wow! that is pretty amazing! It must have taken ages to get that terraforming right. The way you used those bridges is amazing  ???

wow... that is all i can say right now  &apls &apls

Sure is alot of water:P the embankments ,highway and seaports look awesome though! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Wonderful MD!!! I really like the way you connect the lands with bridges :)

Nice highway loop! much more compact than the last version, and looks better too. :thumbsup: One thing you might want to consider is moving that highway light tower... maybe.
Very interesting port setup, looking forward to how this turns out ;)

That's unbelievable!  Those ports look so awesome...I just love how they're out there on islands.  Do you have any pictures that show them in a bit more detail?  I'd like to see them!

Oh...and nice bridge...

And by "nice" of course, I actually mean awesome, time-consuming, effort-taking, oh-so-grand looking :thumbsup:!  Awesome job, I can't believe you actually pulled that off!  &apls

Hey guys sorry i havnt updated in a while been real busy with RL stuff and also the runway project me and david and fred are doing i may have one ready in a day or so as always -Stay Tuned!-

Hey guys! i finally had some time after a month to make more progress in my city.... after a city hiccup i was able to start on the new port. i wasnt feelin the first design so i did a huge over haul. Now that I have some free time from the runway project til David finishes the diagonal runway textures  i give u a teaser of whats to come...........Note: this is only just 1/5th of the port so this sucker is massive and is only phase 1 of 5 meaning that as gi-normous as the city is this port will be the same way.........enjoy the phase 1  :thumbsup:

I will have more pics when phase 1 is finalized, i still have some tidying up to do not to mention im not quite finished with it

Whoa... that port is freakin awesome! :o

Great port area. Very realistic, you've even got the gulls flying around!  :P

Looks like your city is mostly into container transport, I like how you used the floodlights too, excellent work!

Impressive port area. I do suggest 2 things though, Don't have the rails snake through the containers, a bit pointless, just add a BSC crane or something to transport the containers onto the tracks, and change that rail texture, its ugly :P

revised update!   thanks yoman for your advice. i took it into consideration and revamped the whole area. heres a teaser of the container area redone in its entirety enjoy!!!

I went out of my way and lotted a 7 piece modular diagonal warehouse container depot. im interested in releasing it but ill have to mod it for accuracy

Well besides those two extremely minor issues we discussed this is very aesthetically pleasing :D

Nice work!! :thumbsup:

That does look better, although I did like it before also.  Great work either way.

Robin   :thumbsup:

Ryan WoW i cant belive i missed your MD wth lol... But im here now and wow great progress here,  i love your new or should say revisited container area!!!!!!!  will be back for more - pat

Great pictures of that port! Wonderful work! :thumbsup:

Fantastic port, it's really realistic. I like those container lots. Great work.

Hey guys ive decided to take the long road in creating my citie's seaports...literally...just as ennedi did with hers with her creating a seaport the hard way i will be doing the same if u guys like my diagonal container warehouse port i lotted, u will like this current one im working on which is almost done. whats left is adding automata props and people props n such. this current lot is a 19x8 lot with rail access and also serves as a seaport.....the lot is not functional just eyecandy but if anyone would like to mod it for me that would be awesomei would really appreciate it. well enough of me talking heres the teaser shot:

Looking good, Ryan!

Rayden is currently making a truck rail depot for use in connection with a harbour.
You might want to cooperate with him to get some modding help. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see what the whole thing looks like... We can never have enough seaport sets :P

A wonderful teaser! Looking forward to that update! :thumbsup:

Hi Ryan, if you want I can have a look at it and re-modd it to make it functional. I'm having a day off tomorrow, so, it will be possible for me to do that immediately. Send me a PM if you want or you can catch me at msn sometime tonight after 8:00 pm (GMT time).

hey rayden!
Thanks for help and I shall take ya up on that offer  :). I shot ya a PM so Ill hear from ya soon and thanks for the comments guys Im almost done with the costmetics just need to add more props!  :thumbsup:
Ryan

the port looks amazing, especially the night-shoot :)

Ryan- It's great to see another MDer with an interest in ports.  They're a fascinating subject in and of themselves, and are so poorly done in the "vanilla" game.  You're getting a lot of good feedback, and I'll hope to see you continue your LOTting efforts, which I'm sure will be appreciated by many.


David

thanks for the comments everyone and David's especially. I do have some bad news. That current lot i was working on became corrupted for some strange reason so ill have to start from scratch. I never really was impressed with it so I will redo it again. David, this is a lil side project of mine im doing while ya ready up the icons and query. Also to keep my lotting skills sharp and to further refine my skills with LE. Hopefully with this lil project. Itll make lotting those diagonal runways a piece of cake!  :thumbsup:

PS. I am also interested if someone can texture me diagonal sidings on my diagonal warehouse set. im looking for a sort of base texture that has part grass part concrete texture diagonal wise meaning example   |  grass \ concrete texture | and also someone who can make a diagonal fence prop or direct me to a prop pack that has one. If this can be done then the diagonal warehouse set will look seemless and not so edgy.  thanks everyone. im sure people are tired of having that choppy diagonal issue with their cities.

Hey guys just to keep ya posted Olympus City is still alive and well and I have been busy creating a new arc in the cities historical storyline as some events will soon unfold...Stay Tuned!

staying tuned Ryan hope to see some screenies sooooon

Bit of a tight fit for that left cruiser. ;)

Evacuations are now underway as this massive typhoon approaches Olympus City. The impact shows a direct hit with catastrophic conditions imminent. Typhoon Kurusaki, now upgraded to a Super Typhoon, is packing winds as much as  410km with sustained winds as high as 520km. Kurusaki is approaching from the southeast. This is a very dangerous Typhoon. The massive typhoon is making forecasters and meteorologists have a difficult time to gather efficent data about the storm due to the fact that the computer instruments used to track this storm are spitting out inaccurate data making the landfall and closeness of the typhoon very hard to predict. The winds recorded were taken from one of the reconnaissance aircrafts before they mysteriously lost contact with the plane. Images from space that was taken from the U.S. Shuttle Discovery shows the massive hurricane heading towards Japan. One forecaster even noted that it could be 3 days til it makes landfall or as much as a week. This massive storm's outer rain bands are already whipping up the city with steady rain and gusty winds making evacutation efforts very difficult.




The Olympus City Air Battalion are transporting the evacuees and flying them away from the city in their C130 Yamamoto Battleships with the capacity amount of 5000 evacuees per ship. The Olympus City Air Battalion currently have 500 ships in commission. They will then be flown to the Olympus protectorate state of Isshin where they will reside until a comprehensive plan regarding the new home of the Olympians is established. There will be 25 airships transporting evacuees every day for the next 4 days. Officials are urging citizens to bring whats most valuable to them and to limit what they bring.  The government is hoping that the super typhoon makes landfall after the evacuations are completed but one cannot predict the storm of this magnitude. Environmentalists are blaming global warming and people polluting the air as a result of this massive typhoon..




We bring you with more breaking news coming out of Pine Grove, USA.....apparently there has been a massive explosion in the city's quarantined area where there has been a massive strain of abnormal human behavior occurring. This is a recent pic that was sent to us from The BBC that is closely following this dangerous situation. More information to follow as we bring it to you. Following coverage of Super Typhoon Kurusaki will continue after these messages. .....STAY TUNED!!

Looks like you've packed plenty of firepower in that teaser! :thumbsup:

Pretty impressive military base.  :thumbsup:

That's looking really good Ryan! I like what you've done with those SNMN lots and can't wait to see what you have instore with the rest of the base!  :thumbsup:  ;D

OMG Finally we have an update.....lol j/k

That looks fantastic, and great use of the SNMN Lots as M mentioned. Looking forward to more Ryan...... $%Grinno$%

hey guys i know i havnt been active with this MD but RL really does hit ya at times ill see what i can put together in the next couple days  :thumbsup:

Take it easy Ryan we all know what RL can Do.... So patiently awaiting the update...

Hey guys! I finally had some free time to work on my latest update. What you see here is Krakura Airship Naval Port, a Olympus City naval installation located in the Olympus commonwealth protectorate of Isshin. This area was built in secret after the Olympus City / Cherry Oaks war as a expansion base for future territory developments. The Olympus City Secret Operative Military Force or O.C.S.O.M. is based there although they are rarely seen except for some heavily guarded areas of the base where a sleuth of them are seen protecting unknown portals that are linked underground. Also the Krakura's Airship Naval Personnel are stationed here too.  It was never intended to become a major evacuation point for Olympus City citizens and development plans for the new evacuees are now being formed. As Super Typhoon Kurosaki approaches Olympus City, evacuations to this base was ordered. You will see some pics of the base before the evacuation ships arrive.  Hope you all enjoy!

---

As common on some bases there are some weird features that the Krakura Airship Naval Port has as you will see in these pictures:

---

Some say that before the Airship Naval Port was constructed, the Olympus City Government sent a private engineering brigade to the area first to "scout the area" before they sent the rest of the team that had built and designed the port which took 10 years for them to give the rest of the team the go ahead.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this update and the next one will resume what happened as Super Typhoon Kurosaki hit the coast.


:thumbsup:

OMG! Activity? An update? It must be a sign of the apocalypse!

This ground blast door area looks like a japanese Kôfun tomb

nice teaser ! want to see more (and did you have problems with this japanese plopable houses ? -dilapisation mostly )

before i get to my teaser i wanted to reply back to everyone who commented:

to all: thanks for commenting and its just the beginning! even though RL is busy busy with record label work and my dayjob working for a merchandising company and my social life as well ive been able to adapt and squeeze some SC4 time in as well when i am off so expect more updates from now on ...i hope if not ill make sure to bring huge updates for all to see til the next big one...

to vesfalo: i see youre new here welcome to SC4D!!  :thumbsup:  the houses are actually grown and i use a no dilapidation mod and also had tweaked some thanks to ripplejet which i have to thank huge for that  &apls &apls  anywho im cooking up a big update for you guys and its going to be extra spicy but i will serve the appetizer for now until its ready so here goes:

---

The mysterious agency that have occupied the sub levels of the airship base have torn down the warehouses and have added some strange portal and some very large radio dishes and is heavily guarded. Noone knows why they got rid of the warehouses and the purpose of the large dishes and portal.  ()what() The only thing that personnel knows is that if they even dare try to find out the truth, their lifespan will be shortened by a single bullet.

---

In order to improve and give the town a more quality feel and to prepare for the incoming Olympus City evacuees, a more defined town area was implemented.

---

Also on the northern part of the Airship Naval Port, some of the citizens have establish a small fishing area which has been real popular with the Military naval and airship personnel to come out and relax off the base.

---

I hope you all enjoy the mini teaser update and the main course will be on its way soon!!

looks cool

Looking forward to the continuing story line!

damn, that base looks so awesome.. :thumbsup: but I wonder what this secret agency is all about... come on lets see the full update!
and that last picture is outstanding! I love the overall look of the city, great work! ;)

yummie Ryan this is looking very deliciouses!!!

Wonderful mini teaser update there!! Great work on that. :thumbsup:
Looking forward to the main update.

A great base.  I wish I could do something like that, I always scrap my bases.  Yours are great!!!

wow -- very modern!! great military port! looking forward on the update!

well i have to confess i did have the full course ready but wanted you guys to be hungry for it after the appetizer  :D well hope you have enough room for these 2 pics:

The cross section shot of Krakura with the base included:



Another shot with the Komamura Shrine:



Ive been planning and plotting the new area where Olympus City will reside on and I hope to show more of it when the time is ready. As for now thanks to everyone whos been commenting and keeping up to date as whats going on in my lovely MD and as always....

wow really nice ports ad jap homes, also i like how do you usew the SAM with the jrj mod, excellent work!  :thumbsup: &apls

I love the shrine on the hilltop.. and it's name, lol  :D

Can't really say I love those ships as I'm a realism guy. But there is no denying that you've based them in a realistic and highly pleasing to look at area. The second mosaic reminds me of the American base in Japan, with a huge naval installation with Carriers and everything right next to small Japanese homes, great work.

Ryan you know for sure i will be hanging out to see what happens for sure... The 2 pics where wonderful!!!

You...are master at using Japanese houses and ports. Good job &apls !

Really great two new pictures there! And wonderful work on that area! :thumbsup:

That first picture is really stunning  $%Grinno$%

Awesome job, filasimo!  Looks like you put quite a bit of work into your update.  The Japanese homes look especially impressive; I don't think I've seen a Japan-themed city.  Lots of Chinese and Hong-Kong style, but Japan seems to get left out quite a bit...that's my perception, anyways.  You've done a nice job giving this style its due time in the spotlight, I think...%wrd

And of course, that shrine is superb! Great update :thumbsup:!

wow -- cool pics! the port looks really dangerous...anyway -- those japanese houses looks so nice the way they are placed are so realistic!!

Another amazing pic!

Way to go Ryan!

Hello Filasimo san !  :)
Thank you for you PM and invited to your good thread again too :)

:o Wow !! Super !!  :o
These are really greate works Filasimo san !! &apls &apls &apls

Thank you so much Filasimo san always ;)

Hey everyone,
thanks for coming by and visiting my next update will take a whiles since im working on the new olympus city capital across the bay....to mas-san youre very welcome i love your ships and you can save the pics if you would like. in the future i may release two versions of this set one with your ship and the other with the regular SNM ships..anywho STAY TUNED! for my next updates ill try to get more work done on this city and show some progress work in the next few days  :thumbsup:

I like the town.

Good job! :P

Great docks! And the japanese village gives the pcitures a very special feeling  :thumbsup:

hey guys been very busy with things but id like to show my latest endeavor i will be doing for the city and hopefully soon coming to a LEX near you  ;) i am developing a asia W2W megalot pack equipped with seasonal cherry blossom trees and random people props... also one neat lil feature is that if you place say a 4x3 megalot on one road and another 4x3 megalot behind it on the next road, the wider the back alley will be. this will be a 12 lot set of varying sizes ranging from a 4x3 megalot to a 6x3, 8x3, and a 10x3. they will be backwards CAMpatible so you can use them in your CAM cities or non CAM cities. once the legal permissions are granted this hopefully should be out sometime next month, then again stay tuned!  :thumbsup: anywho here are some early shots:

your town looks so good! :'( and those w2w lots are coming along well, I cant wait to put them to some use  ;)

Yes, your w2w lots looking wonderful!! :thumbsup:

I'd like to place an order for some fireworks in the alley :P

wow -- those buildings looks cool!! hope to see it soon on the LEx..hehe

You have a good transition from shrine to town to naval base, and the one road running through the town is simple but realistic. Keep it up, and I hope you get those lots on the Lex soon!

Hey guys, I was working on an update this week to reveal the new city but the cityfile went kaput  :'(  currently im working on rebuilding the city and everything so expect an update soon  :thumbsup:  STAY TUNED!

staying tuned!!!

Also looking forward to the next update... ;)

hey guys just wanted to let you all know that i have been trying to get this together with as much free time i have the past few weeks but the city isnt turning out the way i wanted it to.... guess i made rookie mistake of rebuilding a specific plugin folder for my asian theme city since i was getting more american style buildings n such.... :-[..... but not anymore. now this is where the good news and bad news is:

good news: i built a more accurate plugins folder with all the asian stuff that is out.
bad news: ill have to dezone the portion of the city i was working on and rezone it after i slip in the new plugins folder.

with that being said this MD is alive and well and i should be able to do some work on it once i make the switch tonight. the past several weeks i have been slammed with work with my dayjob and also work with managing the local band here and supporting their completion of the upcoming CD Stonecrossing "Tension" which the story behind that was I was talking to the lead singer of the band and had misheard him saying Tension for the CD name and he was actually talking about the band needs my attention while making this CD so yeah there you have it the name for the CD was born. I will try to see how much i can work on this city tonight and have one big update. Next week ill be busy yet again with work and band stuff since we will be shooting their new music video starting next week. wish my luck guys!

Ryan

LoL its all good Ryan at least you are keeping us with the heads up on this and I cant wait to see what you do have in store...

I also look forward to the new update.. ;D

Hey guys wooo been a while since i gave you all an insight to the city....well after losing my original region when it got corrupted, i had to start all over....well i thought, why dont i start on the city next time and redesign the airship naval port and town to make it even better? so this time i started on the right flank of the city......how this will pan out is that the skyline will stretch across the coast and across will be the town and airship naval port, what i was really intending on doing. anywho here are some shots of the side of the city where there are some dense residential areas......the city's current pop is just about 150k atm and will grow even higher once i start moving towards the central part of the city. well enjoy!!






more work will be done along with more pictures but i thought id tease ya guys first  ;)

as always.... STAY TUNED!!  :thumbsup:

Hey Ryan, glad to see you back in the MDing end of things.  I noticed you've got the NAM Avenue Curves in there, and have put them to good use. :thumbsup:  The overall transit layout looks fantastic there.  And the residential district looks nice and "bixely". :D

Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store . . . 

-Alex (Tarkus)

Looking good, Can't wait for more since you did the last seaport well! Hope you and jacob do a joint storyline like last time as well!

 :thumbsup:

Looking good so far. I quite like those smaller apartment buildings, nice, aren't they? As Alex said, good job with the avenue curves. Maybe I'll give them a try...

And here's I though it was going to be American themed....

Yay for the Hong Kong though!

Looking great so far Ryan, can't wait to see more...

Jacob

Great to see you back, Ryan.  It has been a while.  Very good upade, I love the sky scrapers, but you know my views on maxis power lines, hehehe.  I think you should check out High Tension Poles by Fukuda. (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16152)
Can't wait for your next update.

Robin  :thumbsup:

 &apls &apls &apls

Ryan Bravo my friend this is looking real sweeet!!! I soo cant wait to see more of Olympus City and the area you are going to take us too...

Well the uber density theme here is taking off.

Sorry what is the population again and what are you aiming for?

Oh never mind found it, 150k, [dang not getting enough sleep  %wrd ]

Love the SAM but right now I see no highways and a bit of EL Rail. Oh wait hang on [puts glasses on] its the flanking sector, you are going from the out in where I went in then out.

Otherwise the Palpatine  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Will be waiting for more.

very beautiful catch of sights!  &apls &apls

Nice too see something new there!
And great two pictures there! Nice area...

hallo ryan,
i love all the asian stuff you used in your city
A lot of very grat pictures and i hope to see some closer views from your new area soon

paul

Looks good, really dense, awesome avenue curves too  ;D

Bah! No close ups, disgusting :P

What I can see though is quite a huge city. I can see your mega lots and the el rail looks great. Nice work!

Nice! Park Central really is huge and you know wuts scary? Thats only HALF of it - hahahahah I am still working on the foundation for the other half.

To everyone who has commented:

Thanks guys for the great comments and you all havnt seen nothing yet. I am currently working on the central expansion of the city and just finished creating and updating a zoning guide i wrote down on paper on what I will be using for the skyline on the central part and also will be updating the HK towers i had wrote down on paper. Its very tedious work to write down lot sizes for 150 buildings and counting that I will be using for this huge city, then planning on where to place them to make the city well rounded. Make sure to stop by for more updates and as I always say:

Hey guys,

yeah its been a long while since I made an update been very busy dealing with band managing ( which can be a pain ) and also been real sick the past few weeks and probly will be sick for another few weeks since after my doctors visit last week had told me i had a post nasal drip coupled with one of the following: walking pneumonia or pertusis ( walking cough). they werent certain which one i had because im going through symptons that they both share. also just recently they have been doing tests on my liver due to finding some deposits. despite all of that olympus city is still good and i may have an update in due time just all i can say for now is to keep me in your prayers guys and to


STAY TUNED!

Ryan you have been in prayers bud since we talked the other day!!!!

Well.... bout damn time. Now quit coughing up your blood on the keyboard and get to work! :P

Hey guys probly wondering where I have been...well RL comes and takes ya over so been busy with that...BUT lately I have had a little bit of free time and in the SC4 MD spirit.  :thumbsup:   We will turn back the pendulum before Olympus City was well Olympus City and a new story will unfold of the early days. I just started 2 days ago and its going to be a tedious process due to alot of terraforming. But at the end it will be quite something else...anyways here is something for now til i get more done...enjoy!

As Always STAY TUNED!  :thumbsup:

P.S. The original map was altered in order to give the desired result so it was longer to get it to this point than ya think!  ;)

Hey Ryan its great to see you back at bud!!! Wonderful teaser and I cant wait to see what happens here and remember no more RLS its all MD'ing time now lol....

Looks good, Flip!  Can't wait to see more!

 :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Now as that constitutes spam I better write a few words

[gets out his predefined list of compliments]

[goes through the 500 pages of blank sheets]

[Writes a remark]

Original and interesting, will be interesting to see where this goes
As for the terraforming...  Good luck :P

Ok kiddos.....just thought I would post a update on whats going on...The storyline wont start until this major custom project is done. Apparently this will be bigger than i thought. Ive decided to create a series of personal custom lots for this MD so from then on I will show development from time to time of its progress. The pics shown are development shots of lots that I have done so far....I think my best approach first is to get the area prepped:
i.e. terrain editing, adding rivers, pathways etc. first then go to doing the lots...after each area i terrained is done...anyways thanks for all your replies and as always STAY TUNED!  :thumbsup:

Thanks for stopping by!  :thumbsup:
Feel free to leave a comment  ;)

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang Ryan.... that is amazing!

I can't believe you did all the lotting yourself. Truly an accomplishment!

Has a very Bleach feel to it too :P

EDIT: Removed a few "As" so they didn't bring up the horizontal scroll bar, and made things "family-friendly." And now I notice that it wasn't your "As" that did it. Oops! - Dustin (thundercrack83)

Wow! What a project, Ryan!

Those waterfalls look fantastic, and I love how you used the seawalls, very creative stuff, my friend!

I'll be following this, no doubt. See you next update!

Dustin

The park and the terraforming must've taken a long time to perfect!  Nice! :thumbsup:

@ porter....it does have a Bleach feel dont ya think hehe  $%#Ninj2
@ pilo...terraforming was a pain and actually im farther ahead than you think  ;) most of it is done now..its just the matter of future updates when itll pop up  :satisfied:

Very nice, reminds me of Age of Empires 1 for some reason.

I like it. :P

And it definitely has a Bleach feel to it... heh. :P

It's quite... tranquil in a sense.

Beautiful start on that palace! Looking forward to more of that great area... :thumbsup:

Woa ! The palace is incredible, good terraforming  :thumbsup: !

Flip, man - it looks great!  I may not be much of a Bleach fan, but my girlfriend is - she'd love this!  I totally plan on showing her.

You've been working hard on this - keep diggin', and it'll be done and look great before you know it!

Oh !! That's really great developments Filasimo !!  &apls  &apls
before, thank you again that let me know this nice one too.  ;)

They seems to me(us Japaese) a fantasy-world. ;D
The "Edo-Series" by NOB san, They are made with images of Japanese popular movie "Sen to chihiro no kamikakushi" you know?
It was shown all over the world.
-Chihiros Reise ins Zauberland
-Spirited Away
-El viaje de Chihiro
-Le Voyage de Chihiro
-La città incantata
so They are not have well a realism of the Japan and have a color of some fantasy a strong.  $%Grinno$%

well, I'm going to stop talking about other topics. :-[
Please keep it up and I'm looking forwad to see more updates Filasimo san. :thumbsup:

Thank you.

Wow....that looks like a lot of work.  I'm not too big on this type of terrafroming, but I'll reserve my comments on that until you have everthing done.  I'm sure it will look better than I am imagining it. 
As for your LOTting, that looks great.  I see you figured out the stair problem you had.
I await the final product although I do know that might not be for some time.
I wish you would update more often my friend.  It always a pleasure to see what you are up to.
Robin  :thumbsup:

To quote porter...Daaaang.  I pretty much hate doing terraforming stuff (though its nice to look at) the amount you have done must have taken extreme patience.  I like the custom lots of course  ;)  Oh and the garden stuff is prettyful.  Haha well I'll talk to you later.   ;D

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhh :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very Nice for a "small" update indeed

[Gets cheque book out]

How much?

Like to purchase it as one of my new residences  :P

Otherwise nice wook

Fantastic setup there, I love the way you use those embankments. If you don't mind me asking, how did you make the stairways?

By the way, the central palace seems invisible in the last pic..

I like where you are heading with this. And, I think this will develop into an outstanding and definitely unique creation. Bringon the updates!  :satisfied:

hey guys sorry for the lack of updates, RL has hit hard. Ill try to see what I can pull with my free time in the next few days

Its all good Ryan.... I did love the last showcase there of what you have been doing and as always I cant wait to see more....  The wait is always worth it with you!!!

Sheesh, I thought there was an update! :P
