SC4 Devotion Forum Archives

This is not my first attempt at making CJ\MD, but it's my first one on SC4Devotion. Two previous didn't last long as I got kinda fed up with them. Maybe this time I'll have more luck :D!

Without to much talking I present you the... Kromeritz !

Today just a sketchy introduction (can I say it like that? :) I thought that while making this MD I could also get some "english lessons" from you guys ;). So feel free to correct my spelling and other stuff.. :D )


Kromeritz borders Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, as I intend to give it an "European feel"

The whole idea started with making a little paper planning:

And this is the resoult as for now:

I've merged two small city tiles in Photoshop:),
here's a link to a bigger version: http://imageshack.us/f/90/merged1and2tilesbig.jpg/ (http://imageshack.us/f/90/merged1and2tilesbig.jpg/)

That's all for the beginig. Expect the first update soon as I'm already finishing it. I'll show you some close-ups

-Robert

Cześć! Miło widzieć jakiś kolejny polski MD ;)
Nice to see another polish MD!
Your screen looks very nice, evertthing fits quite well! By the way it seems like some miniature train dummy  ;D
Where did you placed it?
Gdzie to umiejscowiłeś? Dolny Śląsk, Wielkopolska czy może od Czech? ;)

That's a nice start there, best of luck with your MD!

Nice image  :thumbsup: I like your style.

Wow, great scene. I love it.  :thumbsup:

This is a promising thing!
A new country in this area has some real political implications... A historically sensitive area.

The look of the landscape is very natural: you can see that the farms are added later and that some parts of the forest have been kept in place. Especially in the middle part of the image where the road makes some turns through the trees.
Also the many farm fields without a house to it looks very natural. I guess you plopped them?
As last: a question. What is that enormous factory in the upper right corner?

Please continue!

Nice start and fantastic aerial view!!!  :thumbsup:

REPLAYS:
Reikhardt, Benoit, RickD, Tomas Neto - thanks guys!

kbieniu - Cześć, cześć! Miło dostać pierwszy komentarz od rodaka :D.
Hi, hi! Nice to get the first comment from the countryman. What do you mean by saying "miniature train"? As you can see on the map I've placed it bordering Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.

FrankU - It's nice to receive such a comment. Yes, I've plopped the farm fields. The enormous factory in the upper right is actually a powerplant.

You can see it in this update.



Well... I've written that you can expect an update soon, but it took some time. Sorry for that - I had my exams, "matura" ( "A Levels" in Britain ) and as my holidays started i had no time for making an update - parties:D:D

Let's go on to the update..

I'll present you some closeups of the areal view posted before. I've managed to detail the river a little. Enjoy..









Thanks for visiting,

Robert

What a great start! &apls

Everything is perfect. The thing I really enjoyed is the curved bridge under construction.

The picture with the kano is perfect.
You made it very realistic

-Ernst

Plenty of cool details :) &apls

The construction site is amazing !  :o
One of the best i've seen so far !

I'll follow your MD for sure :)

Fantastic start on your MD here!
The river is looking awesome!!!
Great work on it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more...

This is awesome, as those before me have said!

Such an encouraging MD, Im really glad you chose to display your talents here.

Where can I find all those great BATs and construction sites that you are using?

REPLAYS:

Jack Bauer, peter007-Ernst, Terring7, Ol.S / Benoit, bat - Thanks a lot guys!

nedalezz - for some of the construction elements I advise you to just type "construction" in the BSC Lot Exchange's or Simtropolis Stex's searchbox.
I've downloaded this set: http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=51 (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=51)
If you want do download the set containing the "curved highway bridge" and pylons construction click this link : http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=52 (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=52)

You don't have to register there! :D



Just a little preview of what I'm working on right now. It will be a small city and I'll try to make it as realistic as i can :D. You will see some of my LotEditor skills hopefully :)

- Robert

Incredible work you have here, congratulations!

Beautiful work along that river in the last update! I look forward to seeing the new city.  :thumbsup:

Wow..., awesome updates!!! Fantastic!!!  &apls &apls

The river on your last update is beautifully made, excellent stuff!
Your use of some Polish lots gives a fresh feel, it makes your diary really stand out  &apls  &apls

Really nice start, I wait for more!! :thumbsup:

Guillaume :thumbsup:

Welcome to page 2!

Great looking small city!!! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more of it...

Very nicely detailed river! Looks awesome :thumbsup: That old town is very intriguing, too, nice idea of using PEG's canal docks. Never seen them placed in a downtown before :P But it looks excellent!

Nice start, i liked all the pictures ! &apls

Your pictures are interesting to look at, there is a lot going on. The construction site looks very good.

Wybacz, że wcześniej nie widziałem ostatnich updatów. Miasteczko wygląda obiecująco.
Miałem na myśli, w jakim regionie "umiejscowiłeś" TEN konkretny fragment. ;)
A z kolejką, to miałem na myśli, że właśnie ów fragment przypomina taką makietę.
No i jakżeś się uchował? Na SCP Cię nie widać (choć może to i lepiej, jakoś Ci na sc4d mają to coś w tworzeniu, ale mógłbyś się ujawnić. :P) Natura w Twoim wykonaniu jest świetna! Ta dolinka rzeczna jak z rzeczywistości. Mogę spytać o namiary na mostek? :D

Wow! Sorry I hadn't seen last updates before. Small town looks promising!
I also meant, where did you "placed" THIS ONE part ;)
Where wehre you before, we haven't seen you at SCP? Your nature looks excellent, the river valley looks like from reality. May I ask for coordinates to this small bridge?

Kamil

I like the mix of flora along the river.  Though, I would expect the river to be a bit dirty by the construction area.  Heh, they must be doing a good job cleaning after themselves.   :P

Very lively city center. Fantastic!  :) I now have lovely details. If a fish market to yet?

The river valley is perfect! Nothing is out of place! A great skill to have!

Well done! I look forward to seeing how the town develops!

kbieniu7 (Kamil) - mostek to część tego set'u : http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=52 . Na SCP się nie zamierzam logować, bo po prostu szkoda mi czasu na publikowanie zdjęć na kolejnym forum, tutaj mi wystarczy :). Dzięki za wsparcie :D

Hope you'll enjoy the 4 upcoming updates :))! That's all for today.

- Robert

Thats a great teaser!

The way you make European architecture to life, and make your MD seem so alive, is second to none :)

Nice teaser. And looking forward to all these 4 updates... ;)

nedalezz & bat, thankyou guys for commenting.


Here's the first promised update, the "orange" one ;D showing the harbour and the small church. Enjoy! :)

Great update!

I really like the historic appeal of the cityscape!

Wow, I really like that last update.  Love the wooden docks, great work.
In the second last picture, where did you get that bridge?

Robin :thumbsup:

The harbour is really nice!! Fantastic pictures of it.

I love the old harbor. Fantastic work.

Polish:
Witam.
Trafiłem tu w sumie przypadkiem, żeby podejrzeć składnie tworzenia dla swojego dziennika. I muszę przyznać, że nie mogłem trafić lepiej. Miło widzieć rodaka tak świetnie tworzącego miasta. Tereny zielone oraz miasteczko prezentują się wyśmienicie. W dodatku świetnie wstawiłeś kamienicę narożną z muralem mojego autorstwa. Wygląda naprawdę zjawiskowo.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie i czekam na kolejną porcję świetnych fotek.

English:
Hello.
I came here in total chance to preview the syntax to create for your diary. And I must admit that I could not get better. Nice to see so well creating a compatriot of the city. Green areas and the town presented excellently. In addition, well-inserted corner house with murals by me. It looks really phenomenally.

I cordially greet and wait for the next batch of great photos.

The housing by the canals are really wonderful, nice job! :)

Awesome updates!!! Fantastic!!!  :thumbsup:

The neighborhood looks really nice. A real tourist magnet with great attention to detail and very harmonious.  :)

It's really beautiful! Full of interesting details.

Very interesting :thumbsup:

Wow, very good start, i love the pictures of the constructing site and the little river!  &apls
I also will follow this MD,
greetz, Carl

Great job with the harbor area in the last update!  &apls I love those thin wooden docks that go between the buildings and the water.

Beautiful Pictures ... the pictures of the town remind me of my hometown Luebeck (North Germany) ... I'm really looking forward to your next pictures.

The reason is that I started studies. Medicine to be precise, so you can imagine I don't have lot's of free time :/. But I got "motivated" for lunching the game once more from time to time and decided to share something with you if it turns out nice.

Now I own a diffrent computer, which runs Windows Vista  - Lot Editor doesn't work on this as far as I know, so I am limited to what we can find on the web.
And olso I don't have the old files, so previous updates won't be continued. You can have a look at the whole town I made back then here:

And here is an overview of a small city I'm having fun with now:



Welcome back and thanks for watching!

-Robert

P.S. Not sure when the next update will appear ;)

Nice overview of that city!! :thumbsup:

Your European style pics are looking good, you have done a good job with the town, the motorway bridgt an the landscape! Just carry on! :)

That's one clean overview, Robert! I really liked the atmosphere of the old town.

Both the completed picture and overview look great!  &apls I especially like the effect of the walls and canals. Glad you found a bit of time for SC4 and good luck with med school  :thumbsup:

A very nice old city center. I'm curious how the environment looks like.
The site looks fantastic. I hope to show you more pictures soon.  :)

bat, Born-in-HB, art128 - thanks guys

noahclem - thanks, I've just passed my chemistry exams yesterday ;)

Dantes - sorry, no more pictures of that town. But a new one comes :D



As you can see, we have a little change of climate here. Enjoy.


I came after this map: NHPEnsenada Mexico, and "thought why not?"

So, briefly speaking. Here's an overview with a spot I'll present marked:



and 3 pictures showing first terrain editing and development:




Thanks for watching.
-Robert

Those maps look amazing and I like how you placed the ships on the bay ... I'm looking forward to more :)

rambuckel

Good start. I'm sure it will look great when it is finished.

Great start! The little harbor area looks great, especially the way you made that little peninsula of land poke out and decorated with boats, etc. Glad to see he diagonal bridge too. The city looks very promising  &apls

And congrats on your chemistry exam. My youngest brother is a chem major, going to med school next year and i think he's crazy  ?=mad)=

Great start of new project  :thumbsup: It's awesome  :'(

I've made a decision to give up this MD, and give up this game at all. It takes a lot of time to make a city look good enought to satisfy me and that's the reason:D

It has been a pleasure playing this game for few years but as I'm studying now... you guys know the deal ;) I have to devote my time to some diffrent matters.

So.. thank you everybody, and good luck!

see you! ;)

-Robert

Too bad. You really have talent.  &mmm

That is too bad and your work here will be missed  ()sad()   Best of luck with your studies though!

Sorry to hear that this MD will not continue, but the best of luck with your studying.
I will move your MD to the inactive section in 45 days and if you feel like you want to move it back just send a PM to myself or any other staff member.

Robin ;)

That's a bad news...  &mmm but a wish you best of luck in your studies  ;)
