Title: The Monarchy of Jenress
Post by: dragonshardz on October 16, 2007, 05:55:47 PM
Welcome, one and all, to the Lands of the Jenressian King! This MD will be mutli-region, showcasing a Martain terrain map (from ST), Dedgren's Three Rivers Region map (from ST as well), the NHP Invermere Valley map, two other maps that cannot be mentioned yet, and others as they strike my fancy. The other two are in the process of being terraformed and planned, respectively. One will honor a deceased author. The other will be rough-Terraformed in the SC4Terraformer and fine-Terraformed ingame by me. This region will not be done, unless I have time come summer.

My Plugins folder is in the process of being rebuilt and reorganized, but it will contain many products from ST, a great deal of hard-to-find products from ST, all of which are quality (I think), and practically everything from PEGProd. The Plugins folder is completely rebuilt.

Update #1: Plugins Recovery Process

Well, my plugins folder is almost back to usable form. Around a month ago, my computer was upgraded, both hardware and OS, however the installation of the OS removed my plugins folder.

This is what I have left to install before running SC4Tool and finding out what dependencies I am missing.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FInstallers.jpg&hash=2b8876c985e43014f6bf07fb9c2412f31b3ba99a)

Plus there's what's sitting in my dl list on the Lex, but that stuff can wait a bit. I am working as quickly as I can on this and will post a more picture-heavy update later.

I do not give up. That is just A LOT of stuf and it'll take a while. note that I am also making a couple lots for someone over at SimPEG as well and trying to figure out a CTD problem too.

MINI-UPDATE #1


The CTD problem has been sorted out, a mod I had was conflicting with the CAM.

Anyone remember that picture from the first update? That folder is now EMPTY, DatPacker has been run (had problems with that, ended up "chunking" my plugins folder), and the Capital is well on its way to being showable.

Next update: The Capital City: Jenress!

dragonshardz, it's very good to see that you almost have everything back under control again and I can't wait for a real update.
Have you reported the conflicting MODD with the CAM to RippleJet?  He will most definatley want to know about it.

Title: Re: The Monarchy of Jenress
Post by: dragonshardz on November 26, 2007, 02:52:39 PM
I have not reported it to RippleJet yet, as I have not located exactly which mod it is.

It is one of these mods: Hide Neighbor Connection Arrow, No Track Checker 2007, Pause Thingy Remover, Radius Doubler, Region Transport Legend, or Traffic Light Mod.

It is most likely the Radius Doubler, I have yet to make sure of this.
Title: Re: The Monarchy of Jenress
Post by: RippleJet on November 27, 2007, 08:00:19 AM
I checked all those mods, but none of them is inCAMpatible. ;)

For other reasons I would myself never use the Radius Doubler though, and definitely not the Traffic Light Mod. $%Grinno$%

The total size of my plugins folder thus far is 2.16 GB. However it is not amount of plugins, it is the quality and the skill of the mayor.

          Oh, I know that, but still...plugins are the sugar in SC4's black tea. On another note... more than 2 GB is insanity for me. the lag would absolutely knock me out. Good thing you have a comp that can handle it  ;)

Update #2 - Random Shots #1 - Jenress.


Finally, a chance to update. This one's really not much, six pics from random places around the city. All the pictures have been resized, compressed, and changed to .jpgs according to the JPG Compression Tutorial (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=2767.0)

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate1%2FJenress-May15051197683885.jpg&hash=f1c8396ec64d1d3599f1ba64e29f99d10e4038a2)
This one is of the Jenress Veteran's Memorial and Cemetary. These are lots by Pegasus, the walls are by Jeronij, and the roads are SAM, of course.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate1%2FJenress-Feb17091201656489.jpg&hash=9eeed32f3dbc98ed55511a47160efbd421f9ea38)
This is a shot of the railyard, the reason for all the trees is that the current King, Padraig Stuart Raibeart III, has issued an edict that any unusable space is to be filled with either parkland or wilderness. This edict has two effects: the first is that it mollifys the envrionmentalists who were complaining about pollution and it also provides areas for the populace to gather and declare their love for the king.

The first picture of a set of three. In this picture, the Duisburg Steel Mill is under construction.

A closer shot.

And another angle.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate1%2FJenress-Feb9091199497529.jpg&hash=c706895dcd189f130c14bb6eaa3d2a7dc4361f5b)
And this is a teaser of some of what is to come. By the way, apparently when placed in line with each other and abutting another surface road, road tiles carry traffic that follows the pathing.

More of the capital city to come, including a theme park, golf course, the ACI, and the Naval Air Station (NAS Jenress).

Also to come is an honors post, but who will it be?

Tabloids #1 - Atlantean Diplomacy


Just a quick one. The Monarchy has requested that diplomatic negotiations begin between The Monarchy of Jenress and the Imperial Kingdom of Atlantis.

In other News: Plans for a spaceport are in the King's hands as we speak. This is the fourth try for a spaceport by MoJASA. From the looks of it, these plans will go through.

Update #3 - First Look: NAS Jenress


Warning, this is a picture-heavy update. Those of you who are dial-up users, I have done my best to compress the pictures so they load fast, but be warned you may be waiting for a bit. Oh, and since some of the pictures are uncompressed .pngs and .gifs made by canuck3360, I have a placatory gift for you rickmastfan67.

Some replies:

@Pat: Trust me, the wait will be worth it.

@Mightygoose: Thanks!

@bat: Ah, the Great Double-0 Poster visits. You will see the spaceport before long.


First, some announcements.

And moving onto the subject of Jenress Spaceport, here's a pic and a poll for you:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate2%2FSpaceport.jpg&hash=33224787494a1cf9a4bcf51d639b1115777d37a9)

There are four locations available for the Spaceport:

#1 - East of the Capital with a great deal of water access.
#2 - Also east of the Capital with little water access but a highway connection.
#3 - South of the Capital with plenty of room and water access. No connection to any city.
#4 - NAS Jenress: West of the city with an established port.

It's your decision as the people of the Monarchy. Only votes cast via the Poll applet will count! Eh, forget the poll.




And now onto the AquaCulture Institute!

The ACI by day:

Please ignore the abandoned building, didn't catch that. The ACI is built on a cliff, and due to the presence of it a reef has sprung up. The large white blobs next to the round building on land are ATA missile installations. There is also a security fence around the complex as well. There are some fairly top-secret prjects being conducted at the ACI and NO ONE will get these secrets without a lot of cajoling.

On to the rest of that city.

@Pat: Both were found at the STEX. There are 7 downloads for the WTC. They are the first 7 downloads on this [linkie] (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&Keyword=rubik3&view=all) page. They're by rubik3 and are BSC endorsed. The Nuclear Plant is by El_Burro and are the first, second and fourth downloads on this [linkie] (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?p=results) page.

@bat: Thanks!

And don't forget to vote for your favorite location for the spaceport!

To reiterate in case you missed it, here's the part of the post concerning the spaceport:

And moving onto the subject of Jenress Spaceport, here's a pic and a poll for you:

There are four locations available for the Spaceport:

#1 - East of the Capital with a great deal of water access.
#2 - Also east of the Capital with little water access but a highway connection.
#3 - South of the Capital with plenty of room and water access. No connection to any city.
#4 - NAS Jenress: West of the city with an established port.

Personally I'm partial to Position #3, but I want your input as well.

Whew! It's been a while hasn't it? This is sort of an update, though I don't have any pictures. I have had some serious RLS the past month or so, so I don't get to play as much as I'd like. Also, I'd been having problems with the spaceport tile. One day I saved the tile and when I tried to load it the next day, instant CTD. Had to resort to replacing Ionvalla with my most recent backup, which was just after the most recent update. Long story short, I determined that using the "setsealevel xxx" cheat in that tile caused the tile to become a CTD magnet. I have been working steadily on rebuilding the spaceport, and have added a container seaport in as well, utilizing soulstealer's container lots and Pegasus' as well.

Recently, I got fed up of scrolling up and down the Landmarks menu, and decided to reorder the lots in it. So far I've gotten to and completed the reordering of 163 lots, the first 62 are MAXIS landmarks and torremayor's Bastille Opera [link?]. So I might not be updating for a bit.

Still, I only have 4 more folders of 500 MB to 1 GB to get through, so I should have it done sometime tomorrow.

Plus, I need to relot the spacecraft lots, so expect an update with pictures sometime next week.

Update #4 - Olmos Moon


Here is the promised update. A little late, but here nonetheless! First of all, I have two pictures that I managed to get from the first spaceport before it died on me.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate%25203%2FJenressSpaceport-Mar15001204854415.jpg&hash=9edb09fc075e8a66f00882c2b561015d39339413)

This was to be the main terminal of the airport.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate%25203%2FJenressSpaceport-Oct21001205355960.jpg&hash=df9534d55534cbff932895e05b66c5b72f3f4789)

I showed this a while ago in the Picture Competition Thread.

And now onto the meat of the update. First, some text. As of today, the Monarchy of Jenress is a SCJU Ambasador Nation. As we have signed onto the GUPT (Global Unified Protection Treaty),  the production of all nuclear weapons has stopped. All current ICBMs and other nuclear-based weaponry is under lockdown and is being transported to a secure location.

And now to the pictures. The spaceprot is still under construction, so we have detoured a bit to the east, to a small town called Olmos Moon. This is one of the few locations where the highly endangered Olmos Moonbark Birch grows in the wild.

So, an overview of the town itself.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee71%2FDragonshardz%2FJUpdate%25203%2FOlmosMoon-May3011209352563.jpg&hash=b7a50fa80639981437a8a13569164ca7335b0b62)

It is located on this moon-shaped island in the middle of the township. The town is very environment-friendly, and is surrounded by Olmos Moonbark Birch.

A closer view on the central area of the town, where fire, medical, and police facilities are located. It is also where the local Goldiva Watertaxi Service, LLC pier is and most of the on-island commerce as well.

The southern end, where the road dead-ends in an Olmos grove. This is a favorite place of teens and young couples to come and watch the sunset. Some residents have heard other activities going on during the new moon as well...

The north end of town, where there are some very tastefully well-off people. In fact, my home is one of the ones nearest the roundabout on the right side.

This redwood and Olmos Birch are called Pat and Olly. They are local celebrities, as much as trees can be, because their roots have grown together.

News #1 - SCJU


Yes, no update. I'm sorry, but I have been REALLY busy keeping an eye on Pheonoia and New Rhodesia's conflict. This thread (http://12colonies.net/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=48&func=view&id=3950&catid=18&limit=15&limitstart=0) on the SCJU website will explain all that happened. A quick synopsis IS in order though.

Basically, the Pheonoian Senate went behind the President's back and filed a complaint with the International Court of Justice. The complaint was that New Rhodesia used nuclear weapons in a battle with the RNAI when it was not necessary. New Rhodesia denied it (of course) and the Pheonoian President eventually sought sanctuary in New Rhodesia. President Gabreles did eventually return to his country.

However, a civil war soon started. The Pheonoian Senate led one faction (the Isolationists) and President Gabreles led the other (the Unionists). Most SCJU nations sided with the Unionists, though a few sided with the Isolationists at the start of this trouble.

Jenress started as a neutral nation, however we soon came to the aid of the Unionists, who were ensconced in the town of Mt. Fresca and were under heavy attack by Isolationist forces. All SCJU nations sent some form of aid to Pheonoia. Some sent food and other necessities to the population, others sent soldiers. In fact most nations ended up sending soldiers.

Jenress stayed out of most of this, however, when we heard that our allies, the Imperial Kingdom of Atlantis, had been attacked while defending the only route into Mt. Fresca, the entire nation erupted into a war frenzy. The King sent 1000 soldiers and 500 support staff to the aid of Atlantean troops. Not long afterward an additional 1000 troops and 500 support staf were sent, along with 4 aerospacefighters. The transports were also available for use.

In a raid, daring but due to communications errors, unnecessary, New Burgundian soldiers captured the city of Paradise Valley after it had already surrendered to Coalition (Jenress, Atlantis and other nations that sided with the Unionist gov't) forces. This led to threats being exchanged, however, tempers were the only things that flared.

In a nation already decimated by the RNAI War, a civil war was the last thing Pheonoia had needed. Currently, Atlantean citizens continue to rebuild Pheonoia. Jenress soldiers have been pulled out, leaving behind 750 of the support staff to "clean tech". An excerpt from Jenress Military Code explains.

Quote from: Jenress Military Code; Section 10: Conflict on Technologically Inferior Planets, Paragraph 10:
"After conflict is resolved, soldiers and naval craft* will be removed from planet and sent home. Any and all support staff will remain behind with the needed amount of transport to remove any technology that the planet of conflict {POC} does not currently possess or have the capability to manufacture without any influence from Jenress citizens. Support staff will remain on POC for a period of one (1) month for every 2000 soldiers. Cleanup crew must be armed only with current technology level weapons (see Appendix 1: Technology Levels) and may not bring any citizen of POC into transport. Doing so will result in immediate confinement to the transport's brig and a Level 10 Infraction (see Appendix 2: Infraction Levels)."

*Naval craft mean both types of ship: the ones that are constrained to water and aerospacecraft.


So, an update is in the works and will be posted by the end of this weekend.
