I know, I know, you might be thinking that he just trown us that photoshoped pic and completely forgot about it. Nope, just been quite busy with RL, as I'm starting my holidays in a couple of days and I had to let everything at work completely done and organized before I left. Also, as some of you already know, I'm leaving in a couple of weeks to my yearly snowtrip to Andorra and still have a lot to prepare. Today I had a little time and patient and completely removed my old Columbus Terrain Mod and had it replaced by the newly CPT Italia Terrain Mod. It looks great, doesn't it :thumbsup: Tonight I'll start minor terraforming actions like making some streams, waterfalls and flora planting. Now, I'll just present you the entire map image, just click the thumbnail.

I also have to bring the snow line a tiny bit down. I need to go over again with the Thalassicus tutorial and files to do so.

Which Italia snow mod are you using? cycledogg did a special one for me to lower the snow line for a different region. I can't use it on this as it would ALL be snow with the changes I made.

Title: Re: Rayden plays Shosaloza as well

Well, with the new NAM out I had to make a quick clean-up on my plugins folder, something were going wrong, now it's ok. I took the chance as well to change the terrain and rock mods too. Here is the final result. I also started the first quad of the map. I will have some close-ups soon.

This is the continuation of the stream, on the valley (city 2).

Great valley Rayden!

I wonder how you get from that valley over the mountains.
I remember on Simtropolis there was a CJ were they described how to build a hidden tunnel which might go right through mountains to the next map. I think they used a hole digger and a special overhanging lot to cover the hole.

But I am not sure. I am looking forward if you are going to try that.

I'm back, thanks guys for the compliments and Alek for the good wishes. Here is a pic of my vacations, one of over 400 and some movies. I'll try to post some of them on a different thread. About this Shosaloza game, I already have some more pics tken and I'll be posting them sometime today, after I pass them through the Photoshop.

hey cool those mountains look quite spectacular, the snow cover looks a bit thin, i hear europe has had a bad year if you like it cold and snowy. The weather is such a wild card when planning a trip since u have to plan so far ahead to get a good price, u never can predict the snow conditions. (unless u are lucky enough to live close by ;)

I remember going to Utah once in January after hearing about how great the snow is supposed to be, the fist day was alright, snowed a little maybe 6-8cm, but the rest of the week was almost hot. You could ride in a long sleeve t-shirt.

Rayden, That last Region Census view shot is just excellent.
Great choice of terrain and tree mods.

Post by: Rayden on January 23, 2007, 02:32:53 PM

You're right Alek, the snow wasn't that great this year (20 to 40 cm thick max). Compared to last year where the min thick was 90cm up to 1,50 mts, and most of the time we were off piste carving the soft snow. This year we had to stick with the very few open slopes, but nevertheless, it was great anyway, special the nights ;) Well, I'll write a bit more about this in another thread later. Now for the first big update of my Shosaloza game.

Nice use of the mediteranean lots

And the railyard seems huge ( is it the one you showcase in the show us your railyard junction ? )

Jeez, Silvio, your farmers must get tired climbing all those hills.

I get tired just looking at them...

...not really- your take on Shosaloza will just have to do until you take the plunge and get one of your great Mayor's Diaries going over here.

Later.

Thanks for the compliments. About the railyard, no, this one is about 1/5 of the size of the other. The other one was from my Little Italy CJ over at Simtropolis. That reminds me that I have to bring it over here, one of these days, hopefully. And also Els Pirineus and New Haven and Sierra Blanca. Gee, I got so many games going on. $%Grinno$%

Btw, nice job with SC4DatPacker, I would say, terrific job mate, you're a life saviour ;)

So, you found me, definitely I can't hide from you $%Grinno$% This Shosaloza it's just a warming up for the new Els Pirineus coming soon and the Little Italy moving to this forum. I'm sure you will love this notice.

Anyway, thanks for finding me David ;D

Great to have you back Silvio!
Pity there was not much snow. You must be a bit upset looking at the current weather forcast in Europe (snow, snow, snow!).

Tunnel:
So the entrance and exit are on the same tile. That is good for you. No inventive and difficult things to do there then!
Nice water rural tower on the second pic.
What's that building with the green roof in the fifth pic?
Those houses in the sixth pic. Very nice slope friendly work! Especially the green roofed one on top of the slope. Very good!
Both Mosaics are great!! :thumbsup:
That rail yard is a beauty!

Of course, I have high expectations for this rural experiment.

Yet again, I have been bowled over by the mighty RAYDEN $%#Ninj2. It almost seems too easy for you....

Wish you more snow next year, I had a similar disappointment on a mountaineering trip last year... snow near the summit in July... all week!

Catch you later...

Quote from: Rayden on January 24, 2007, 04:52:14 AMThx Nik-Nik for the compliments. How's the kids, still watching you playing? ;)

Thanks for the links. The one of Onlyplace4 was viewed at first to be one of the wild west series. So I ignored it. Bad for me (I did that too with a beatiful barn that Darmok send me to). The other one I considered as more of the same. How wrong can one be...

Kids are doing great. Still getting frustrated when Daddy wants to play on the PC. Thank God I have another older PC in the basement as it is a bout time the kids have their own PC (the beginning of the end, I know, I know).

Great update (almost didn't notice as I was to entwined in answering your 'kids'question.
Love the mosaics.
Those fences next to the railway. Good thinking, they look very good there.
Those 1x1 playground lots, are they your own work, or did I miss again something?

One thing to nag, third picture. Did you notice theer is a tree in front of the station's parking entrance? Sometimes when using jeronij's street mod you need to plop some streets before you get the right trees at the right places. Come to think of it and looking better at your picturs I do not think you use Jeronij's street mod do you?
Your curfews are very nice!!!

I know what you mean, I spent last year 1400 euros on a laptop, so, my daughter could Messenging everyone, without stopping me from playing SC4 $%Grinno$%

No, they're not my work. I'll get you a link later on.

You're being picky, ain't you? Can't you see that is a security measure from the town council, to put a tree in from of every exit, to avoid people to speed up into the roads and cause accidents? "$Deal"$ $%Grinno$% Yeah, you're right, Jeronij's and Andreas Roth's street mods don't care if there 's an exit or similar before they place a tree, car space or even some trash in front of them. And you're right, I'm using now Andrea's Street Mod because it doesn't put so many trees on the sides. Maybe Jeronij's could make a second version more light on tree's density, coz I really love his Street Mod.

Anyway, thanks for commenting my work and see ya later my friend. :)

Nice!
Those are a couple of beautiful mosiacs.
Many details caught my eye, and a couple stand out.
The sidewalk texture you are using looks real good.
I have seen it used elsewhere a few times, but you really make it look good.
The other thing that caught my eye was your use of retaining walls.
I am a big fan of walls, and you have a great balance of not too many, and not too few.

Great update, Thanks for sharing it with us!

How can we not like this? You did a fantastic job Rayden! &apls

Just a question: the last picture of mosaic one is not showing for me. The last weeks I have a lot of pictures not showing up in MD's. Is there anything special to that picture that might cause this? #?¿?¿?$

Strange, it does show everything in here. I use Firefox or IExplorer, and both shows all the pictures. Also, I store my pictures on my own server, which I can't remember having had a break ever. Try to empty your temporary internet files folder. In Firefox I don't know how to do it, but on IExplorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, then, on the General tab you have on the middle section 3 options, Delete Cookies, Delete Files and Settings. Choose Delete Files. Thanks for dropping by and commenting.

Very nice pictures Rayden. The B&W one is funny :thumbsup:

What a like very much about your ~~little~~ mosaïque is that it seems as if your city grows: from Industrial outskirts, via green residential areas, to a little more dense, ending with midsize apartmentbuildings. Very interesting! &apls

Great stuff Silvio.

In the mosaic I like the placement of the rural station next to the industrial liot where the line ends. Good thinking.

I like the use of the walls in your CJ.

Great work.

Hey Sylvio, I'm now at page 3 of 4, what I've seen so far is really good!
If I had to be picky, (and being my obnoxious self...) I'd say that the ONLY thing that bugs me is the somewhat steep retaining walls on some pics, besides that I simply like the natural atmosphere of the place, and you can count on me for regular visits!
More comments tomorrow, my lunch break's over!

Same goes to everyone else that has comment lately. Sorry if I'm answering in general but time is short right now.

Crappers, that is a nice set of pictures!

I really like the mix of different styles of shots.
The sepia tone one expecially caught my eye.
And the night shots near the end of your update look real good too.

All in all a great update. Thanks for sharing it!

Post by: Rayden on February 01, 2007, 12:49:37 PM

This is not an update, but more like a preview of the next one. I've spent part of the day today, plopping roads, tunnels and bridges, connecting most of the region quads. I'll takes some shots later of some typically winding mountain roads, land bridges and tunnel entrances. There will be also some pics of the new small village located on the northwest shore of the lake.

That narrow sea side road must be great to drive on it. Wonder if you can show us that in You Drive it mode?

Great pic, lots of tunnel projects. Make it a double lane tunnel, you know what happened here in St. Gotthart and Mnt. Blanc Tunnel only a few years ago.

Indeed Colyn. Nik-Nik, short tunnels were done with single lanes (road), longer ones, I used double lanes (avenue). I'll be showing that a bit later. Now, the update, the ~~little~~ village by the lake (50,000 pop) $%Grinno$%

I won't do any comment about them, I'll leave that with you ;)

Rayden,
the little town at the lake is a masterpiece, I love the way you used ploppable water/Land bridge and the way the water ends into the lake. Brilliant stuff.
Nice to see all those grown houses. Very nice station in that town. Never seen it before.

Second update.
I love that sea side road. You made it well. I guess in the tunnel there will be some traffic lights too, did you notice that they can be hardly seen when exiting the tunnel in pic 3! LOL.

From the looks of the amount of engineering needed to make the tunnels and the sea side road with all the bridges you must ahve an impressive Engineering College in one of your towns.

I guess there must be a holiday hotel somewhere as the scenic drive along the coast line will attract numerous tourists. ;D

@ Nik-Nik and Meldolion - Here is the link (http://hide-inoki.com/bbs/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=388)

Make sure you download, besides the station, the two download links above that image. They're called "HaS_Props.dat" and "HaS_Advertisement.dat". The other one bellow the station download link, is a gmax model where you can input an advertise image that will be shown in those two advertise boards between the rail lines at the station boarding area. If you look at my image, they are there but not showing anything, as I did forget to dowload one of those files above :-[

Or wait for Colyn to release an english version of it, with instructions and necessary dependencies. ;)

Well, while waiting that David brings some of his tutorials over here, I decided to make a quick one and show the ones that still don't know, how to build a bridge over dry land. The secret is, that dry land it's not entirely "dry" ;)
For this tutorial and to achieve the final result, the bridge over dry land, you will need the Teirusu's Rain Mod. The name of the Rain Mod it's "Extra Terrain Tools" and can be found in here (http://www.simtropolis.com/idealBB/files/ExtraTerrainTools2.zip)

This picture now, shows how meticulous I am. Most of the times, the end of the bridge it's not levelled with the rest of the bridge/road. Usually I plop a single street tile, right on that tile next to the bridge. See the red circle. It immediately levels the road with the bridge.

This image shows some of the steps I do to plop winding roads across the mountain surface. I always use the street tiles, and with single tiles I keep Zig-Zagging, trying to follow the terrain incidences. When you do a zag and it shows that boring red message saying unsuitable terrain or similar, just zig it again. :P

I hope you all understand how to buid a bridge over dry land, and have a look as well at David's tutorial about it. He has a different approach, more detailed and also full of humour ;D You can find it here (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=74819&STARTPAGE=9#798857).

@David - You don't come here very often, but when you do so, you really crack me down :D Thx for the compliments David, you know how important they are to me ;)

@ - Colyn - That tunnel is one of the pieces of the Big Dig Project by Blahdy and you can find it here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&keyword=blahdy&type=all)
The piece then is connected with subway, as is the only way you can connect two city quads via underground. Tunnels don't connect them, not yet, maybe in SimCity5.

And what's that all about you don't understand on the land bridge tutorial? &mmm

Title: Re: Rayden plays Shosaloza as well
Post by: Colyn on February 07, 2007, 02:44:38 PM

Thanks ... I was wondering .... and do you run a dual subway under the ground ? ... 2 paralelle lines ?

Title: Re: Rayden plays Shosaloza as well
Post by: Rayden on February 07, 2007, 02:54:16 PM

Nope, that piece is connected by dragging a subway. It converts the road traffic on subway traffic. Dragg it until the end of the map and connect it to the other city. Open the other city, go to the connection and drag the subway line to the place where you want plop another Blahdy's piece, so, it converts back the subway traffic to road traffic.

You just stroke two "capicua" numbers on the same post. "Capicua" in english, I believe it's know by "palindromes" [linkie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindromes)], and it means a number that can be read equally from left to right or vice-versa. In some countries it's means good luck.

Yes it is possible. I believe there is somewhere at the STEX one or two connection lots like that. It transforms rail transit into subway transit.

A side note, since Barbye has achieved the goal of this experiment, looks like most of the people have abandon or lost interest on their own experiments. For me, this has been more than an experiment, and if I will still look for that goal, that won't be my primary one. There is still a lot of terrain to develop and it will take a while until I finish it. But, being this the BSC thread, I've noticed that not many people come over here, or have even noticed that there is some real gems over here.
Being so, I would like a mod or an admin to move this thread to the Mayors Diary as I will continue to play it, and where I would certainly have a most wider audience. I need it, so I don't loose interest and keep playing this beautiful map.

Thx Colyn, I'll keep an eye on the BSC Shosaloza place and all the other Shosaloza Experiments, including yours of course. ;)

@Jeronij - Muchissimas gracias amigo :thumbsup:

@Everyone - Specially for the ones that have never stepped into this MD, it has been running for quite a while as part of an experiment in the BSC part of the forum. Together with this, several others were started. It's worth having a look at them, very great stuff in there, some of them with unique and yet unreleased content. You can find that thread in here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?board=89.0).

About mine, from now on, it will be shown in here as a regular MD. Thanks to all BSC members for letting me and other non-BSC members to participate on that experiment. &apls

I'll leave you this random shot and go to prepare a proper update ;)

This explains a lot. No wonder I couldn't find it, never thought of going to the BSC forum. And by the time I thought to click on the link, well...

Glad it's over here now. Just finished with the whole thing and I'm rather full and sleepy. It's just too much of a good thing all at once. In a wonderful way.

Well, it's with great satisfaction that I see that my MD had more views in the last couple of hours, than during all week, "buried" where it was. I'm really glad I decided to bring it over here. Anyway, even seeing that people hang in here a lot more than anywhere else in this forum, I want to tell all of you, that along with this MD, others were, even greater than mine. There is a lot of good "MDs" at the BSC thread, right here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?board=89.0).

Now, and with no more chit-chat, here's the update (beware, heavy image update (nearly 30 images)

First lets have a look at the region grid to find the place where I am now, quad B2, and from where this update was taken.

Yep, I'd say that's a proper update. More to the point, I'd simply say it's amazing.

BTW, I think that the mall you showed in the second pic is the first time I've ever seen anyone use that lot. The third pic, too, is an amazing use of custom content.

Can't wait to see more!

Anyway, I'm here now but I'll keep an eye over the other thread at BSC Plays the Game.

You see,

Here's the deal. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I will try to explain it a little. While perusing other MD's and CJ's, I notice that a lot of the urban areas have a frantic, busy, extreme look to them.

I find nothing more relaxing in this SC4 atmosphere to browse your images. Your city images are most impressive, and the mosiac is fabulous (even that may be an understatement). Once again, your helicopter must be just about out of gas from that last flight.

Originally, with the map, I was a little disappointed with the compressed Mt. Robson (the primary mountain), however, I look at this map and project from a different light when you are the author.

I hope I have a ticket for the next ride!

Yes, you assumed that right, the guy in the picture it's indeed this old crazy guy. I wish there was mountain like that too near by, but unfortunately it takes me some 15 hours driving to get there.

This mosaic is to show the major city of my region with which I reach finally the 200.000 sims.

I know one of the goals of the Shosaloza project was integration of city onto terrain, keeping the terrain as natural as possible. For the "Rayden's Shosaloza" project, looking natural is kind of an understatement... a slap in the face! It seems as though you are playing SimCity 5. How did you get the advance copy?

This looks very natural, and with 200k now, mission accomplished!

But..... If I know Rayden/Silvio, this project has lots of steam left in it, and won't be completed anytime soon. It must feel great at the "end" of a great project like this (and Little Italy, Andorra - although they are not necessarily "done" per se) as it must feel like you have completed a work of art rather than a city in SC4. At least that's how I interpret it.

Anyways, always glad to see this MD shine brightly!

Now that you mentioned, I think there is a problem, maybe a conflict with any other plugin. I've reinstalled the game, got every update there is (SKU1, Bat, Bat Update, LE, bldgprop_vol1 and 2), and it's still the same. Any clues what can it be?

Just for testing, can anyone mention a custom lot (recent one with good nightlighting) so, I can see if it works or not. What I have noticed is that some of the older lots, those they have night lights &Thk/(

Well, I suspected for quite a while I had something wrong with my game. I used to see some nightshots from others MDiers and use to wish mine could be as good as them. I only tought that could be some software/hardware modifications/settings, different from mines, so, I never gave them too much attention, until Nik-Nik pointed that out. Since yesterday, I've uninstalled the game 3 times, went several times to the Ea site to download the updates, Bat, LE, bldgprops, etc. Nothing worked. During the night, I managed to get a pirate copy from the net, installed and it worked. So, during the afternoon, I went to the shop and bought I new copy of Simcity 4 Deluxe Edition. Now I have, the full collection of Simcities. From the Classic to the SC4 Deluxe (including SC4 Original, SC4 Rush Hour and now, SC4 Deluxe). But now, you might be wondering, what was wrong. The only good explanation I came up with is, when SC4 come out early 2003, I wanted badly to have the game immediately, so, instead of waiting until it arrived in Portugal, which happen 3 months later, I ordered mine from the UK. Later in 2004, the expansion Rush Hour came out in Portugal, so, I bought here. Looks like both versions are not fully compatible. I found that during the upgrades. If I upgrade the SC4 Original, it used the European upgrade, SKU2... if I'm not mistaken, and my version of the Rush Hour, uses the other upgrade, SKU1... Either way, I always had some error reports during upgrades, like, "old file was not found, but one with the same name. No upgrade was made, as the content of that file was different from the old one". Like that, the upgrade was compromised. With the new Deluxe, I ran the European upgrade, it went cleaned, then ran the Bat installer, the BAt update and the LE installer, copied the backup folders Regions, albuns and Plugins, and voilá, night lights on all its explendor...

Nik-Nik, you're my heroe ()flower()

Oh man...my night lighting is horrible too. I just bought a new copy of SC4 Deluxe recently because I needed a new serial number to get the stuff from the Maxis website. I downloaded all the updates on the site, but usually have about half of my night lights work. Does that mean I need to do what you did? Because honestly, my brain did a somersault inside my head reading what you were describing

Make sure you download the right SKU# update and pay attention to any message that shows up. If it says that it did not upgrade a file because of its content, then you're running the wrong update. Try another one. After that install the bat prog, its update, LE, and to make sure, even if you already have the bldgprop files, download then again. At the end, find the SC4 exe file (it should be at your program files/maxis/simcity 4 deluxe/apps/ folder and right-click on it to see its properties. Your version should be 1.1.640.0. If it shows only 1.1.610.0, it's because you already have the EP1 update, but you haven't updated yet your bat prog.
Bellow you can see two screenies with the updates needed and one with the final version. This is only for the Deluxe versions.

Thank you for dedicating the update to me, I feel &blush

The game does improve doesn't it?
I like to build during the day, but at night I like to wander through my towns (no one is aware that the mayor is skulking around at night) and enjoy the wonderfull night lighting some of the bats out there have; Hard rock café is great, Madonna in Concert is now something else (for me the nightlighting was the reason to download this one).
The stadium....wow great shot! The sunken shopping malls etc. etc. etc.
Did you btw notice the roof of the stadium? I didn't know that the roof could close too until I saw your update. It's about time that I get it as this is a unique one, where did you get it?

As for the rest of the update: I guess that laveder farmer is quite pissed off as early snow fell took him unaware. I hope the damaage will not be eto extensive for him ;) Maybe better for him to move to the valley floor.

I am glad to be of help (even if it was a hell of a job for you to get it right)

Well ... your city was so beautiful that I didn't realize the lack of nightlights ...I don't know however how Nik-Nik noticed it ; the number of buildings enlightened depends of the night hour and you didn't precise if the pic was taken with the night time switch in or off ... there're eagles eyes in there ! ;D
Glad you've solved this issue .
Good snowy pics , I generally don't enjoy them so much cause of these green trees supposed to be seasonal (even if we can imagine it's early or tardy snow...) . Is this Urban Mall with a japanese gallery as prop your own stuff ? I like that so much you know , you should precise if it's the case , now I have to check up again this MD trying to detect some other "suspicious" Lots , not so easy : nobody knows every BATs & Lots . $%Grinno$%
I use too Oita Stadium , the best IMO , but the models you present here are superb (the last is my favorite ) .

hello silvio! i think its the 1st time i flew in and got a rent-a-car to go around your shosaloza. i had to have quite a few gas stops going around and it certainly is all worthwhile. i loved the tunnels, the coastal drives, the farms, the urban areas. wow. practically everything! and you didnt disappoint the project's goal of having the most sims while not changing the landscape. mother nature would be pleased! im flying out now but rest assured, im on one of the next flights back in. thanks and i hope you dont get tired of developing!

I see in the update that you are realy enjoying the night lighting. Glad to be of help Silvio.

Nice stadiums you've got there. It would be great if some batter took them under his/her wings.

hanks for the linkie. I hardly ever go down to any Japanese site, except for NOB's and Somy's. So it is not surprising that I missed this maginificent stadium. It is rather obvious once you downloaded the lot that the roof is closable (it's in the picture, duh), it is a very special lot.

Thanks and good luck with 3Dstudio Max.

Hey, Rayden. I like the new names of the cities in Shosaloza! Also, that new tool from Daeley looks pretty interesting, too. Keep up the good work!

By the way, I've named all my cities and this one's name is Eagle Valley, located at quad C1 on the Shosaloza grid.

Great renaming!
I love that mosaic as I always do.
The developped (read grown) buildings look typicaly like mine. Somy's 01 and 02, SFBT's residentials (grosses Miethaus & kleines Miethaus) Jebel blove on shore, etc. makes me feel right at home ()stsfd()
Great how the rail road goes up. Wonderfull done.

HEY What's that you missed buldozing some road lots! ()sad()
I also noticed some missing texture at the dirt road/rail road crossing in the middle (next to the church).

I love how you done the start of the river, from the glacier, first using PEG's pond tiles and then transition it into the canals. Interesting.

question why did you use so many roads and not streets?

Final word on this mosaic: MOOI!

Uh-oh! Get out the four-foot (1.2 m) tall monitor, Silvio's back with another "little" mosaic.

Nifty stuff as always, my friend. The sharp-eyed among us have already spotted and commented on all the detail stuff- I just enjoy sitting back and trying to take it all in. It's ingenious how you've used those locks to move that stream down a pretty steep hill- bet there was some great kayaking buried under all that concrete.

Reminds me a lot of valleys filled with development miles/kilometers long but only about a half-mile/a kilometer or so wide in northwestern Italy. You've got a marvelous feel for that sort of landscape.

'Til next time...

"Eagle-eye" has spoken ... so I've spent a few time to search road lots & missing textures . :D

The terraforming and canal locks are the most impressive for me ...( because I really suck with that .) :thumbsup:

Hola Silvio,
Loved that last mosaic! Very ingenious use of the locks! But looking at the nearby apartments, and with the sound of all that water rising and lowering all day I just can imagine some dialogs....
child... "Moooooommm"
mother..."yes dear"
child..."I have to go to the bathroom..."
mother... "AGAIN!" **mumbling to herself... we have to move... if not I'll go crazy!**

hehehe... just kidding amigo! I really like the "blue collar" ambiance of it all, except of course for the judiciously placed high wealth condos on the top of the hill... I wouldn't mind living there!

Great work my friend
Take care

Great work Rayden. You pack a lot of interesting stuff in that narrow valley. I usually don't care much for MDs with really tall mountains, but this one is very interesting and keeps drawing me back.

That's not missing textures, and that's one of the reasons I don't use more streets on high density cities. Look bellow at the picture. The other reason it's, on high density cities, the streets soon get completely crowded with cars.

I'm happy I could help you as well. Definately with lights, thinks look different. Thanks for your kind words. About renaming, if you have that "SimCity 4 Extra Cheats Plugin.dll" file installed, during game, press Ctrl+x and then over the box, right-click with the mouse. It will show a list of cheats, pick the ones:

- whererufrom <name> Resets the name of your city to the given value.

- hellomynameis <name> Resets the name of the mayor to the given value.

Thanks Colyn, but I would prefer to give them in hand to sobebody that I trust to do a very nice work with it, and besides, it's not very legal to post models over the net without authorization to do so. I can give them away to sobebody but not post them.

I hope I can improve my skills on that canal stuff, coz, I wasn't completely happy with the final result. My only excuse is the terrain didn't gave me much choices do do it better.

You're very kind ;D Nik-Nik has very sharp eyes indeed, he should be called from now on, Nik The Eagle. ;D About "my" lots, unfortunately I don't have your LE skills or your imagination. Most of my stuff are small filling lots, change of textures. So, far, my only Lot is a nuclear power plant I did with a great help from Jestarr on cleaning up all the dependencies from it and it's actually on the LEX. I also also have some small warehouses I used on my other CJ's port. About those lots you mentioned and liked, can you please tell me exactly which ones are. Re-post the images if necessary.

http://rayden.zftp.com/sc4/shosaloza/cityc1_anim3.swf

And that the end of another small update. Time for some stats.

- Shosaloza now is a little over 300K inhabitants
- There is still a lot of cities that can be developed. I'm sure I will not have to add some extra land to the water bodies in the region.
- This update, took my all free time of yesterday and today.
- Was made of 98 screenshots, that after being scaled and re-touched with PShop, weighted 12,5 Mbytes.
- The biggest mosaic took some 16 screenshots (1024x768).

Well, that's all for now, enjoy the update and see you guys later.

You are truly relentless. :D

Considering you are not using LE on everything, the way you manage to make everything fit so nicely is truly first rate.

Your PS skills are pretty awesome as well. Just when I thought I could get my cities to look kinda like yours, you go and get better.... :thumbsup:
And of course, the presentation is becoming better and better. I don't know how you do it (I imagine your helicopter has something to do with it) but just keep going. I will be following your every project as long as you are active here.

This stuff is THAT good! ;)

Great work! Thanks for sharing!

That's sure I never would have this result without LEditing everything .

Your take on Shosaloza is simply breathtaking. I can't understadn where you find the space to build all that in such a hard terrain. Your terraces flow naturally and gently, and suddenly a high altitude valley looks like the perfect spot for a big city. Bravo!

Great stuff Silvio.

Yeah those streets tend to glog with cars. However if you have enough busses in your city the Sims do not complain. Aha it was in the picture that I misinterpreted the rail road crossing. The close up is much better yes!

Eagle valley... ()stsfd()

Massive update Silvio.
I guess that the drive-in movie park is somesort of meeting place for young couples hence they arrive after the movie :D

Great night pics!
Great hotels and fast food joints. LOL those cops I love that Dunkin Donuts lot!
Is teher a problem with the texture with that trainstation (I believe it is Ill Tonkso's) I notice the road in front of it and that it connects to the second road (hence the pedestrian crossing) but it does not show only some hedges on a piece of plaze (any idea what I am rambling about?):

I only checked out the first three mosaics. They are awsome. Great spooky graveyards. Is that Millenium dome realy pink at night?

Anyway I got to go and add my car to the traffic jams to get home (yeah RL is sometimes frightenly familiar to SC4 LOL).

The whole mosaic is great, however I am a big fan of trains so I feel the urge to focus on that aspect. The freightyards are nicely tied in with their surroundings and the last part of the mosaic with the train passing through the sweeping curve is really well done. Your work is quite good. Keep it up.

Credits go to Jeronij and his tutorial and the gmax model he left at the stex. Because until I found them, the only thing I was able to do was making the Edmonton water change completely its look. First I managed to make the Emonton water textures appear like 3 store buildings (ID instances) and then, my stream on the Shosaloza Yazoo city was filled with those buildings. Later I managed to make that stream look like a frozen stream. So, I had to go on a deep search for knowledge, and found Jeronij tutorial [linkie (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=61052&enterthread=y&STARTPAGE=7#772754)] that saved my day. I was just about giving all up when I found it. Thanks Jer, ~~but that would be a good idea to bring it over here~~, you're really dumb, ain't you Rayden, why didn't ya search in here first? &ops $%Grinno$% Geez, spent hours at the stex looking for something already here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=185.0). Nevertheless, I managed and I'm very happy with that. This is just a beta version, as the snow texture I used, despite it's quite good, but it lost all its detail when rendered with the bat. I'm going to try doing it on 3dsmax and pray it doesn't hang again at 16% rendering. When finished I'll send it ti Jeronij for review and see if it fits the LEX standards. ;)

Thanks guys, as I said before this was a first attempt, like an alpha version. Right now I'm having a little help from a friend who gently offer to make a new mesh that most probably will improve the looks of the snow. I will also try another texture to see if it resembles better the already snow mods available, like the Cycledogg's and Jeronij's ones. I'll post some more images soon.

See ya later

Well, my SC4 game is having a few issues, like crashing to the desktop, not opening some cities, or only opening them after I open a certain one, etc... I think it's about time I do a major clean up on my plugins folder.
So, as I don't know if this region will ever be playable again, I will consider it, for now, as closed. Maybe I'll get back to it in a later future.
In the meantime, and after building the new Plugins folder, Little Italy will be back :thumbsup:

Well, maybe it is not finished for good, but will see about it when I rebuild the Plugins folder. Anyway, you will love Little Italy. I had that going in ST, and I'm still thinking if I will bring it back as it was left there, or if I will build it from the beginning once again.

Again about this one, and before it gets archived, I didn't wanted to leave it without at least to thank everyone for all the support given so far. You've been a great audience and without your support I'm sure I wouldn't be able to carry that task this further.
Thanks and see you all back in Little Italy in about a week time. :thumbsup:

OK here we go again...
I was answering your post on AVR, when I thought that I should update the link in your name back at AVR, so I thought to come here and copy the URL. Good idea! I come here and what do I read! Your game's crashing and you're thinking of closing this one.... talk about timing... hehehe... seriously I hope the problem is not related to your plppable snow, it would be a shame... It really look great! Though I have one complaint.... we finally get rid of the last of the snow here, and what do you do? You send us some more!!!! Sheesh... Just kidding of course, this PS (Ploppable Snow) will be a great tool!
Just a word before leaving, you were talking about perhaps continuing the original Little Italy here, I think your second idea is better, you should build it from the beginning, with all your new experience, I'm sure you'll do some things better yet! (If it's possible... hehehe...)
Anyhow, great to be here again and looking forward to seeing more of your work! :thumbsup:
Have a great week

@John (Darmok) - That "ghost" posts happened to me all the time, specialy at ST, very anoying isn't it? $%Grinno$% Thanks for dropping by and thought about linking me to this CJ/MD. Unfortunately, besides still being able to open this region, with the increasing times of the game crashing to the desktop when opening, made me decide to re-new the plugins folder. After a week, and many hours looking for and downloading, I think I have a decent but still un-complete plugins folder (1.43 Gb) ;D I'm still missing a few small things, and also most of the good gems from the other side of the earth (Japanese lots and others like). I've downloded them, but I'm going to edit all and change names and other small details necessary, to have a clean pugins folder where everything is clean and tidy. Also these days I have been busy updating some old lots, and learning my way on this world of lotting and modding. You can be sure, there will be a lot of new and better things on my next project. I also agree with you, and I will start Little Italy from scratch and try to improve the work done previously. There will be a lot of custom content.

About this one, I haven't tried yet to open it with this new Plugins folder, but I'm afraid it will be a no go. I'm sure it will be a ton of missing things, as my previous Plugins folder was a complete mess and many things I don't even know anymore where I get them from (3,9 Gb) :P

Anyway I'll give it a go, and if I succeed on opening it, I'll try to clean up the cities from brown boxes by deleting them one by one and try to replace those by new lots and maybe in the end, it stops crashing for good. I'll see what happens...

Cheers to you and everyone else, and thanks for all the suport given so far.

Thanks, last weekend I backed-up my plugins folder and decided to try something. I've did a complete clean-up on my old plugins folder, by going through every custom lot with the LE and deleting any I didn't use very often or at all. It took me long hours, as I had to sort the plugins by alphabetic order, create new folders, and copy paste all the plugins into them. Then I used to keep one at a time (a, b, c and on and on... down until z), so, I could open them on the LE with not too much delay. In the end, I merged the old plugins folder with the new one. Did a Cleanitol clean, looked for double files and empty folders, then use the SC4DatPacker and tried to open Shosaloza. Did some praying along, and, voilá, Shosaloza back in business. After that, I installed the new NAM, and, it does work fine too. I tried to open another city first, other than the one first created, and it doesn't crash to the desktop anymore. I think, if there was a nasty plugin doing all that damaged, it went down the toilet during the major clean-up $%Grinno$%
I'll see if I can have an update soon. :)

I'm also testing the CAM in this already half-way built region, and one thing I've already noticed. This peticular city, is now on the year 81 and I remember I could have a farm growing anymore. With the CAM, they still grow and quite easily. I have to test it in another region, I remember my old CJ, New Haven, I couldn't grow any farm either, as soon any manufacturing industry have grown, even if I destroy them. I remember I had to plop farms, coz they wouldn't grow anymore. If this is right, with the CAM, I'll be able to grow farms again if there is any demand.

That add a few more responsabilities and extra work, which I'm enjoying a lot, and less time for this MD. Anyway, as soon as this CAM modd in on its wheels and doing fine, and after some of the lotting I've been doing is finished, I'll get to this MD and eventually re-start my latest one, Little Italy.
In the meantime, I wish to thank everyone that has been following this MD, for all the support and patient while I've been busy doing other things.

Thx NikNik, I've been kind of MIA due to RL and other things lately, but now I'm back. This MD it's a bit stoped right now. Yesterday I updated the plugins with SG stuff and some late CAM stuff as well, so, I loaded Shozalosa to see if it still works. It does ;)
I took a brief screenshot just to post it in here and keep this going on for a little more. $%Grinno$%

Hello Rayden,

I'm afraid it is my first post here (sorry), but I must say I learned a lot lurking at your MD :D - now I'm going to change it

You created an amazing region and I'm very glad it's still going on :thumbsup:
I like very much your seashore views and the last city sreenshot is great- very close to my taste &apls It is diversified and full of life, also at night :D
Good luck and don't stop this work, it's a great pleasure to look at it!

Silvio- You think you can come out of nowhere and blow us all away with a single pic...

Well, look who it is?

I didn't think it was possible to 100% emulate RL with SC4. Guess I was wrong!

Welcome back, sir...!

Thanks guys, I didn't think I was going to be that missed :P So, one picture it's not enough; what about 2? $%Grinno$%
I'm still amazed how nice and full of variety the game looks now, after CAM, the farms, commerce, everything now looks a lot better ;)

These farms are amazing! &apls You are right, Rayden, the new LEX content makes the game unbelievable realistic - thanks to all creators &apls

One question - I think you use ploppable farm fields in some places. Wchich set of them did you use? I am trying to make some farms now in my Shosaloza, but it seems I missed something when I downloaded them :)
