hi guys :)
What you think, what thing do you missed in SimCity? Personally, I think we took a Game from 2003 into 2008. We have so much great Mods and other AddOns, like the NAM, the RHW, new "Street Looks", new Trains, new Cars, new Highways, new from all, so tarrific things, that this old SimCity can be a game from 2008. But one thing I missed very much, that is a new Design(!) for SimCity. The Standarddesign is very old and boring and have nothing to do with a game from 2008, what this game, I really think now, with this beatifull mods, and the most of it is from you guys here.
So that is what is want to do now for you! A new spezial Design! But that is not all, I create a new start for the game, too.

Why this new start?
because....
- You must not more to go to all pages! Only one click and you habe all information that you want and that you need. Only one click!
-
Download Center direct in the new start. One click and you have the building that you want, only
ONE Download Center for alle pages!*
- Programme can easy closed, after looking at the news, etc. One cklick open, one click closed. No terrible extrem loading for SimCity.
- All news, from alle famous site in
one programme, bevour you starting SimCity!!!
- The programm is in
German and in Englisch language!
I hope you like it. And say me please, what can I do better! ;)
Sorry, when my Englisch is not so good!
*only an idea, not in the betaversion 1.
This sounds like an interesting idea :thumbsup: . I am sure many members will have some suggestions and ideas about it ;)
so effectively its like an sc4 client... that lets you run say the BSC LEX downloader from within sc4, however im not entirely sure that i possible as the game preloads the plugins on startup. but it would be interesting to find out what is possible with this idea...
looks very cool.
sounds interesting, although as mightygoose said, i thought the plugins were loaded when you start the game..
Seems interesting. I think a new UI could be done too.
Nice and Beautiful.
So, is this like a way of getting SimCity feeds easily or a new SimCity UI?
No, hehe. Only a new nice design for SimCity :)
Do you have any more pictures to show us this in more detail Tolsome? I find the idea very interesting and I would like to know more about the program and what it does.
Thanks,
Fred
UPDATE
Yes, it was a long time, but here is now a update for you. :)

that looks sweet... so how would the UI be changed???
Well, Pat, within the SC4 files is a collection of files that control how the UI looks. If he edits them, he is then able to show quite a different SC4 UI (since the components are basically just .png files).
SimMars actually did the exact same thing. It can be done here too, provided one knows what they're doing with the UI files.
This is really cool! Maybe you could show us how you are going to do this, Tholsome.
I'm intrested in doing something like that myself.
The graphics?
Graphics with Photoshop CS3 :)
I can make a little tutorial, when you want?! :)
Sure! After you have made the graphichs, how do you get them into Sim City?
Awesome. Can't wait till it is done.
With this possible new modd, will we be able to Create a New City from scratch; for our created region? After we have built our 1st main city?

hi :),
I hope someone have knowledge about AIR, C++ or C or what else of this kind. I need someone with good experience, because I want to make a new start interface.
Following included:
- SC4 StartUp Manager intigrated in the interface.
- Options (graphic, sound, etc.)
and the best of it:
- a window for news around the scworld.
- a intigrated download center OR (when it is to much) a news site, -> what is new on the LEX, click here for download this, etc....
- something that you can change the design (my new design, the mars design, maxis design, etc.)
So just to be sure I understand clearly ( and let me assure that I don't want to be rude, just straight to the point )
And I still don't get if you're planning a mod ( which I thought it was seeing your first post, which from my point of view was just a reskinning of the SC4 Region interface ) or a frontend launcher for SC4 ( based on your last post )
This is clearly not the same at all, and to say the least very confusing for me.
And if you do not know about C/C++ or any others programming language and want to do a frontend, what do you expect to do on a everyday basis ?
uff...
Why you confused?
There is nothing, that explain, that I do only the fronted launcher or a new design (SC4 Region Interface, ingame interface, etc.)
I want to make the launcher AND a new design. Two things. AND: It is a mod, too, because I must copy the .pngs from the simcity_1.dat to a new .dat (modding it for the new design).
So, now explain me, what is here so difficult?
I want to make a very helpful launcher and a new nice interface for you all.

Why you confused?
Because you want 2 things, and I didn't get that until you explicitly write it :)

There is nothing difficult, and even if a nicer interface is not my cup of tea, a new frontend will certainly be helpfull
You just have to find a programmer ( not me, I'm buzy )
yes, a programmer would be very helpful. :D :) ;)
And the new interface/design is very hard to make and need lot of time. Unfortunately I have only good knowledge about photoshop and a only a little bit with the iLive Reader and to things, but not good enough to make it completly at my own. When you have not a enough time, maybe, you know someone, that he can help me. :)
Tolsome it sounds to me you have started some ambitious projects without any knowledge for what is actually invovled. Sure, you can play with photoshop to add a new skin for the User Interface, or make new textures for a RAM set, but if you dont know how to physically get them made into the game why are you starting these projects publically? There are people out there that do know what to do and if they were ready to do something like you have suggested they would have started already, or you should ask someone via PM that knows what to do before starting a public thread getting peoples hopes up when you are never going to finish the job. Please, if you have ever released anything of this scale before or comparable proove me wrong but I havent found anything on the STEX under your name nor anything on the LEX under your name, which leads me to believe you have never finished a project you have started.
BTW, I dont know how you can assume yourself "RAM Team Leader" when you have made only one post in the RAM Private Topics and not participated in the main Private Thread. As a team we have not elected a leader, and one will probably never be chosen.
dude get the sim mars team to help
this look like a really good modd keepn up the work
Why revive an old dead thread.... ::) ? .... locked.
