Hi all,
here is my first MD, I've been playing this region for a bit of time now, but decided to redo the map because I didn't like the terraforming :)
The first version of the map is available at the STEX (LINK (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=16888))
the new version is this:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg505.imageshack.us%2Fimg505%2F4218%2Frandlandya7xx3.jpg&hash=eb3cac124596a80563f936d16267dab70465fc8b)
Hope you like it :)
The map is based on the map on which take place the great novels by Robert Jordan "The Wheel of Time" (LINK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time) & LINK2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randland))
I'll post updates as soon as possible :)
I would be less than a true friend if I wasn't the first to comment here.
I just about jumped off my chair, Luca, when I saw your nic in the title of an MD. It brought back right away memories of your first posts in 3RR-ST last fall, and the thoughtful comments you made. It will be great to see you develop what looks like a really fine map, and especially given its use in Jordan's novels.
Thanks for finally sharing this with us.

This is a great Region and I'M looking forward to seeing the development :)
I love that map! Good luck with it.
Nice map Meldolion, looking forward to see how you will develop it :thumbsup:

Mi piace moltissimo ^^ great map and I hope the construction will be like this map

Well, I think that Robert Jordan was very much inspired from JRR Tolkien in developing hi world and particularly his maps...

The terrain and nature looks really good. As does the map. A little early to make up an opinion of the development yet, but the approach show some promise. Waiting for more. :thumbsup:
first of all very good work, love the rocks and flora, second, what kind of agriculture do you have there?
Nice choice of maps, it looks like it could be a great MD. Very nice start on the town as well. I can't wait to see more. ;D
Good Luck
wonderful pictures! Great development! :thumbsup:
Very nice start, like the concept of a tiny village slowing growing and becoming picturesque over time.....love the woodlands... :thumbsup:
Looking good, meldolion! Great start! The map looks like it would be a lot of fun to work with, and Tremalking Island is very nice. I'll be looking foward to seeing how this develops!

Hi Luca,
Nice development on the small island. I agree with you getting rid of the seaside walk.
Windbiter's fingers looks very nice, lot's of variety.
The rapids look thunderous.
try to remember pressing G before taking pics. It makes them so much nicer.
Nik-Nik
Great overview and fantastic two new pictures! :thumbsup:
Nice scenic pictures, I love the rapids/waterfalls :thumbsup:
Luca, hey-
They could put your "rapids" pic next to the word "gorge" in the dictionary and not need to waste any additional words.
Does your ferry landing generate its own power, or are you using one of those power generation lots next to it? I always have a challenge with remote sited stuff in my regions.
I'll be watching for Update 2.0.

As for the ferry landing I use a power generating lot, as in the following picture

Great mini-update, meldolion! I love the rapids, they look fantastic! And the mountain lake looks great, too! Keep up the good work!
Like the update (half an update :D), Love the rapids, and I use that power lot myself quite a bit......question tho.....what rock texture do you use? I sure do like it.

Thanks your visit! I'm happy you find my attempts worth :)
As for the rock texture I use Peg's Rock Mod - Limestone (Link (http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item57)), for the terrain I use Meadowshire with the Olympic Beach :)
Certainly a good start for your MD the small town with the beach and the rapids are well done.
Thanks for the info my friend....went directly to Pegs (thanks for the linkie) and of course stayed for half an hour and downloaded a bunch of stuff &ops....oh well..
A belated welcome to MD land, Meldolion. Looking foward to following this. Good Luck.
Great update, the rapids down the mountain looks very good and so does the ferry landing. What's next? ::)
Randland - Update 2 - The city of Salidar

Hi Luca,
Nice rural update.
How to make the powerplant more realistic?
If you prefer to use this transformator with powerlnes I would use different power lines. I believe they are made by Fukuda and are found on STEX here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16152)
I would loose the street ring as the sand road (that comes with the fences) should be enough for service personnel to enter the site. Then I would use jestarr's HVPowerLines to draw a powerline across the fences and use from there on the usual powerlines if need be.
Finally why put the powerplant way up in the mountain. If you look around in the country side you see a lot of powerlines with substations between the fields.
Nik-Nik
Great rural images! Wonderful update! :thumbsup:
really beautiful farms :thumbsup:
Your farms, are beautiful meldolion! I love how they surround the little town of Salidar. Great update!
Excellent work, my kind of area....well, at least the kind of area that I enjoy working on the most......beautiful......meets the first criteria of a town that I am building.....Would I live there...... and for this town the answer is yeppers! :thumbsup:
great work mel! (if i may call you that)
coming from a generally agricultural country (Philippines) and an archipelago at that, i really enjoy seeing islands that are almost self-sufficient. your "trekking" island, tremalking is a good example. and the rural areas surrounding a small town are commonplace here, too. good luck developing!
Luca- That's a really nice looking pastoral area on difficult terrain. Lots of nice little touches, too.
As for the power substation, the street all the way around might be a bit much. Maybe just have it end, put in a small parking area, and then fill the rest with some "dirt" lots or, possibly even better, some of the lots out there that just have stuff (supplies, crates, trailers, junk, whatever) on them. None specifically come to mind- maybe folks could post some suggestions.
Thanks for sharing Randland with us.
David
Randland doesn't take its name from a certain AYN Rand, does it? :o :D
Just catching up with your MD now, Meldolion. It's very good. Hopefully there'll be more soon. :) ;D
Flipside, no the map is inspired from Robert Jordan's Fantasy Novel "The wheel of time" in which the main character is called Rand 'al Thor, hence the name of the map Randland :)
As for no updates, had no much time latetely, hope to post some update ASAP

those are great shots! looking forward to how you will follow through with this. one question, what is region census?
Region Census is a small progam which gives you statistics about the region as a whole and for each city.
It permits also to get screenshots of the region and the cities :)
you can find it ... mmm the bookmark I had for region census seems dead... :(, if you want to try it i can upload it somewhere
Anyway HERE (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=594)on the LEX you can download the RTMViewer, provided you have the BSC Regional Tracking Mod

Wonderful update! Great work and pictures, Luca! :thumbsup:
Outstanding update, Luca! The region shot looks great, as do the pictures of the downtown area with the canal snaking through! And I love the nuclear power plant, too, it looks quite realistic. Can't wait to see more!
Great update ... It's beautiful :thumbsup:

Yeah, well was the ony way to keep parks, avenue and tha side roads connected :)
Luca- It's been way too long since I commented.
I really enjoyed the last update- you've captured that somewhat "gritty" feel of a lot of industrialized Euro-cities. But there's lots of grandeur, a little faded maybe, amidst the grime. I really like the "two-eyes" roundabout scheme in pic 2- that's very evocative of places I've been "over there."
Waiting for next time.
David
Great update love it.
One thing, please convert the pictures from png to jpg.
The last pictures have a size of 744 kb, as converted to jpg the size is down to 100 kb (Quality setting at 65%).
You can use IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/) to do the converting.

the problem is I let imageshack do the resize work... so the image quality is not really goood &mmm Net time I'll use paintshot to di the resizing
How could we not like this development! I adore that powerplant!!! And the canal is beautiful too. Well done, Meldolion. ;D
I would like to thank everyone for the nice comments :)
I'll try tu put an update ASAP :D
Hi Luca :)!
I love Illian city ...especially canals set :)
I can't wait to have your plugin folder :P $%Grinno$% ;)
One thing..... please reduce the img size!! ::)
bye ;D
Great region and ineresting way of development. Good work!
I especially like your industrial area with the power plant (5.12), also closeups 5.13 and 5.16
I agree with dedgren (his notice about "gritty" feel of a lot of industrialized Euro-cities). Yes, it is common, but especially in Italy I have very specific impression seeing industrial areas and engineering structures in beautiful surrounding (Torino, Bolzano, Val d'Aosta).
If you want, you can turn off "no job" and other signs using SC4 Extra Cheats Plugin (I don't remember when have I downloaded it from, but I am sure many others know where is it - and if you want, I can look for it).
Also, you have two easy ways to resize your pictures and save them as jpg:
1. clip2pic - an excellent small program made by wouanagaine; You open it, than open the game and make pictures by clicking print screen. Pictures are saved as jpg. In option you can choose the target folder (very helpful) and picture's size.
2. IrfanView - to resize existing png's and convert them to jpg.
Thanks for the nice comments :)
Rex:
mmm well smaller than 800x600? I could post the images as link or thumbnails... but I don't like it ;)
Plugin folder on its way !!! :D
Ennedi & Dedgren
What do you mean with "Gritty"?
I've the extra cheat dll but I haven't used it yet &mmm
To all that keep saying me to convert imagest from png to jpg
:-[ Ultimately I must have the brain disconnected.... I realized just now that my png images are 1MB each!! From the next update I'll post jpegs. Thanks for the patience to point me that :)

Your downtown is looking great! :thumbsup:
Downtown Illian looks fabulous, meldolion! I love the highway tunnel in Picture 5.53 especially and the bridges crossing the canals in the last picture look great, too! Keep up the fantastic work, my friend!
Great update! :thumbsup:
I like your side streets (5.53 - east downtown). It's a nice idea, I want to use it in future. I don't know if I'm true, but it seems to me I saw such side streets in Milano (one time I went to the centre accidentally because of heavy traffic before exit to Monza). There are such streets also in Barcelona along Las Ramblas.
Your canals are great, especially the harbour.
About "gritty" feeling: English is not my own language and I'm sure dedgren would explain it much better, but I will try:
First of all, it's nothing bad.
Gritty: of strong character. Also: naturalistic. Also: coarse (vs.fine)
What is the reason of such feeling (in my opinion of course)?
European cities have often a long history. Their borders widened more and more, and industrial areas blended with commercial and residential. Sometimes it is also an effect of strong development on a limited space (big cities in narrow valleys or surrounded by mountains)
Cheers
Ennedi
Thanks for the nice comments!!
Ennedi:
You are Right!! I'm from Milano and there are a lot of avenues with side streets like the ones in my city :)
the city is very nice :thumbsup: I think the forest behind the Residential area could be more dense, but that's the only thing that I don't like
the region view is great &apls
Your downtown it's very beautiful
Great update :thumbsup:
LOL, I just realised where the influence of your names came from (no, I didn't take a look at your sig), but rather because I am reading Robert Jordan's excellent Wheel of Time series (up to Book Three now...).
But anyway, you have some beautiful cities. It's shaping out very nicely.

QuoteThe city of Tear just lies east of Illan (they could be just one city....but... Illianers are strange people and prefer to stay independent)
More like, if they're left alone in the same room, they'll try to kill each other. :D
Anyway, your city is well-designed, but it just feels totally empty. It just needs cars, people, anything, to give it life.
Don't forget to fill in some of the empty spaces so they don't look so empty. Once you've done a section of your city, dress it up a little by adding trees. It'll make all the difference.
I like the effect of the road disappearing into the trees. It's an interesting optical illusion.
A wonderful new city you have there! Great update! :thumbsup:
Great update, it's beautiful :thumbsup:
I love the second image, the general overview ... It's superb, but there are a little too much bridge I think, but it's a personal opinion $%Grinno$%

Very good update, meldolion! I like the general overview, also the Health & Education area looking very good.

Luca- It's been a bit since I've been through Randland, and I must say that, while you don't update as frequently as some, each time you do it is a gem. I really enjoy your hand-terraformed landscape each time I look at it, and you have a sense of place that takes me back to the wonderful couple of years I was fortunate enough to live in Italy.
Only a few more comments and page views and this fine MD will make the well deserved move to the Best Sellers category. Thanks so much for sharing Randland with us.

Nice to see old BATs, like Coca-Cola HQ and Oneil's towers used. I thought that I'm only one who uses them. Because you know how to use custom content, why not reduce Maxis-stuff?

mmm I never tried the non Maxis mod...do you know if I install it I've to rebuild the city?
thanks

Great update. The regional map is incredible and what a nice start to the cities you have there. I like how they seem to follow the contour of the valleys.
As for the Block Maxis mod, I use Dusktropper's mod and I turn on and off different wealths in different catorgoies all the time and I don't have any problem with things that have grown as I make the changes. I hope this makes sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't see why you would have to start/rebuild your city again.
Great work as always. &apls
Robin :thumbsup:
Wonderful update, meldolion! Great work! :thumbsup:
Wonderful update l'ami, I love &apls
I was here long time ago and I see a great development! :thumbsup:
I love the region view and the shoreline.
My favourite pics from last update: 8.01, 8,02, 8,09, 8.18 and 8.19 (I would have nothing against living here ;))
Magnificent update, meldolion! I love the mix of skyscrapers and residential areas! Have fun on your holiday, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work when you get back!
I must echo what the others said. That was an excellent update.
Just wondering, the industrial port in Illian - is that Ebou Dar (well, it's in the same location as the city in the book)?
Looks like you're about to build around Mayene, but that's like, swampland. Maybe it should be a park? :P

well,
first of all thanks fot the kind comments :)
about Ebou Dar: no , The industrial ort in Illian is in fact where Illian is in the books; Ebou Dar is west of it (the next river mouth), in the region view is across the two quads named Illian and Windbiter's Fingers.
Mayene is in my region the CBD of the city of Tear.
here is a comparison between the two maps:

Wow, in comparison to the real map, yours looks fantastic, meldolion! It's great to see where the inspiration comes from! I'll be waiting patiently for more development.
Ah, I see.
It's just that on my map, they're mixed up for some reason...
Shame you can't really show Far Madding on an island due to lack of space, but it still looks good.
Have you decided what you're going to use for the White Tower in Tar Valon?

Yeas, to be precise I've already built the White Tower in Tar Valon... it's a tall spire of which at the moment I don't remember the name... It will be in a strage position respect than the original but I like how the layout of the city is coming up :)
If you have some suggestion for the white tower you are welcome :thumbsup:

Great work on the windy roads through the mountains. Nice small town feel, I can't wait to see what else you have for us.

Wow, great update, my friend! Your mountains looks fabulous, and you've done a fine job building in them. I'll be looking forward to seeing more!
Luca im sorry to say i dont know what would look good to terminate the line... But other wise great update threw the scenic area :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Welcome to page 8!
Another great looking update! Wonderful work! :thumbsup:
Hello meldolion,
Your region development is really great - the region view is fantastic! :thumbsup:
Very realistic smaller cities with farm fields, they blend very well with surrounding hills &apls, also forests add a lot to this view
Your small village is very charming, I see You start to build windy roads - good luck and be aware :D
As for your question about railway end: I have some suggestions, but of course you don't need to agree with them ;)
1. Don't make a curve just before the end. The rail texture you use (it is from Jeronij's street side mod) looks great, but only on straight lines.
2. there are some rail stations terminus type (where rail line ends), but all of them are too large. I had in old region a small japanese station with only one platform, but also this station is about 6-7 tiles long.
3. Maybe you can put a small rail maintenance lot at the end - something like this? It will optical hide the ugly end

ohhh well.....
first of all thanks Ennedi for your Advice!!!
now, I'm trying to port Randland on a bigger map: from the actual 4x4 big city tiles to a 15x10 big city tiles (i tried something as big as 20x15 but my laptop cannto handle it :'( )
here is a preview of the region from terraformer:

I decided to make it rectangular to respect the original proprotions of the map....
I'll keep you informed of developements :D
EDIT: well, my home pc handles easily a 20x15 map so I'll give it a try :)
Fantastic new map/ region, meldolion! Great work on that! :thumbsup:
i hate to be your party pooper, meldolion, but Tar Valon is on an island and that seems to be very conspicouosly missing.
Also, Dragonmount seems to be missing as well....
If you expand it much more, try going into the desert that is off to the east where the...umm...

I know I know
DragonShardz &mmm in the new region I'll try to recreate at lest TarValon on it's Island, and Dragonmount as well :)
For the Aiel waste, at first i thought I could include Shara also (the land on the very far east of the continent), but that would have been meant a much bigger region, and it Terraformer thah would be impossible to handle.
Thanks for visiting, and I'm always glad to hear of someone other than me that reads that beautiful novels :)
Psst, I read them too, you know. :P
You will need to edit the terraformer map a little bit more to ensure extra details can be added (like the swamp-ish area east of Emond's Field), as well as the Two Rivers.
The larger scale will allow you to make the map true to what Robert Jordan envisioned of "Randland".
yes of course, but at 20x15 there is not so much detail to add....
looking at the map it appears ity would be possible to render TarValon in its island version tough :)
here is a preview of the grid superimposed on the original map:

BEWARE! The image is BIG
well, i thought about it, maybe just the aiel lands around Rhuidean, but as a separate region.
Hi all,
this is just to tell everyone I'm not MIA.... $%Grinno$%
but tying to reterraform the big region of Randland (16x12 Big cities), I'm waiting for some addition RAM for my lapto so terraformer can handle such region :)
with just 1GB of RAM is a slooooooow going &mmm
here is a glimpse of the development so far:

stay tuned!
16x12?
Ouch.
Good luck with that endeavour.
However... I heard quite recently that Robert Jordan has passed away. The good news, though, is that the (draft of?) 12th book was sent to the publisher just before his death. So, it'll hopefully come out once the people who are writing on his behalf finish the book.
Yes, sadly, Robert Jordan has passed away :'( However, since it was from a blood disease, he knew it was coming and spent time writing down what had to happen in the last book(s?). He died as comfortably as one can die, with his friends and family with him.
To Robert Jordan, a great man and an awesome writer. :wings:
wow, fantastic map, I like it :thumbsup: You will plaining a big region, I wish success for you.
If you find still a small rural terminal, I recomended two tiles timber platform from NOB. You find this (http://hide-inoki.com/~nob/lot_station.htm) (for end of page).
To next...
Hi all!!
well, I've not fled to a remote island without internet connection, but I'm acutally busy terraforming the new map for Randland....

Hey look, Tar Valon and Dragonmount!

Ooh, the map's looking great, meldolion! Can't wait to see how you develop it further, my friend!

Sure! Maybe I will post it to the lex :)
the reason i wanted it is because i am starting a new MD, my old one died (atrophy is a horrible thing). this one is going to be multi-region, so i am looking around for cool maps to use. please, meldolion, upload it to the LEX! it is awesome!
meldolion that is a wonderful map!!! Great job....

Well, the thing is, I can't even see the highways on that map. :P
@meldolion, your map looks very good, but I think you should check another codes in Imageshack - it is possible to make these pictures bigger, this map is worth of looking at it :thumbsup:

Fantastic looking map(s) there! Wonderful work on it so far, meldolion! :thumbsup:
looks great!
Just read this front to back! Great job, with the new map you have your work cut out for you, big time. Those interested in the map, it's in the final stages of review.
I got this one bookmarked now, great work on it.
Excellent MD, I've just read the whole thing!
Ill_Tonsko made an excellent small terminus, its basically passenger platforms and a small parking lot. If this is also a freight line, PEG's Rural Freight Siding would look good, as would his Rural Freight Station.
I've been thinking about doing a small (6 or 8x3 or 4) rural freight yard, for the end of those rural branch lines. I just need December to get here so I'll have the time! :D
Cheers,
Kevin
Hi all,
first thanks for the kind comments,
second, following the precious advices from Besk, I've developed the final version of that BIG map, and with Besk approval has been posted to SC4LEX :)
here is a region census shot of this final version

now,
I'll try to populate that BIG piece of land :D
That is a sweet looking map Meldolion!
Great job on the rivers.
That final version is looking wonderful, meldolion! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to the development! ;)
The map is amazing, guys. I recommend you download it and test it out in game. meldolion is very skilled at that terraformer, and he had excellent vision in recreating this.
Very impressed!
awesome meldolion. Let's get started, shall we?
Interesting, the fact that I can see that you started in Far Madding. Why there?
It'd be interesting to know your reasons behind starting in a particular place on the map. I also am looking forward to seeing the first update.
well, I started in Far Madding because........
...
I liked the location :D
Anyway, I'm going to restart the map from scratch so there will be no Far Madding...
well......
It has been long time from last update.... Real life, lack of time.... the usual lame excuses :D
I've started the development of the BIG region......
here are a couple of pics.... :)

Meldolion's Randland Update
Hi all,
the development of this big Region continues, and I've started to develop what on the original map is the city of Illian...
I've yet to develop the Harbour (Illian is a big Harbour city in Randland) but I hope you'll like it anyway :)

Hello Luca,
Very nice to see the development on your great map :thumbsup:
The regional view looks impressive (especially with these city numbers... :D)
Very nice suburbs, I think the waterfront will be very interesting after some development
Good luck!
Adam :thumbsup:
Very nice so far, but check your display settings. You seem to be missing overlay textures [turn everything up to max to see everything]...
Otherwise, it's wonderful.

Where did you see those missing overlay textures? btw, effectively not all pictures were taken with max details....

Well, the effect's worst in this picture [the residential area]. That can be fixed by simply turning some game details up to maximum. I can't recall off the top of my head which controls that detail.
