Title: The State of Oak Hill's date of death: 20 Aug - Page 3
Post by: Glowbal on July 23, 2009, 07:53:22 AM
Welcome to The State of Oak Hill.

Let me first introduce myself. I am Thomas.
This is my very first MD.  ;)

And finally, after endless delay, crashing cities, re-installing the game and bats and crashes again, I can proudly present to you all; The state of Oak Hill!

Today, I will show you a few pictures of the main city, The similair to the state named; Oak hill.

First off, the park near the sea.

As you can notice by the buildings on the left, this area aint that old.
All the old buildings got destoryed during the fires in 1982. The Govoment decided not to rebuild these buildings, but instead make this the new business heart of the city.
This is where all the money gets earned.  ;)
We shall have a closer look at this area in a next update.

I hope you enjoyed watching these pictures. More to come!

PS. Sorry for the differend sized pictures. Just couldn't figure out how to resize them. Photobucket didn't work.  :(

Great Start Thomas!! Welcome to MDing! I really like what you have so far, especially the diagonal tree lines and the canal/lake

One suggestion would be to spruce up the park/plaza area by the seawalls. Maybe some benches, stands, or something.

Can't wait to see more!

Great job!  :thumbsup:  Photobucket wont reize every sized pic though. You must take the pics at the second largest size in-game. This way it will resize the pics down not up. But frankly the game sizes (the one that I said) are small enough to fit on this board. Also to spruce up the park is very easy! Just LOT lots with the same base texture, and use any prop you can find! I use Porkies prop packs on the STEX to give them more life purely because of their high quality, but you can use any you want! Overall a great start! Hope to see more of it soon!

Tomas Neto - Thank you. I am glad you liked it.


Changes in the Park
Working in the LE.

Today, I have started to try out the LE. Been trying to figure it all out the whole morning. It aren't master pieces yet.. But lets check it out!

I also tried to make a busstop.

But I got no idea how to make it work as a bus stop. This lot will be edited a bit more, and then used in the business district.

I didn't want to make it look to 'simple'. So I decided to give myself a little challange. I must admit, not that hard, but it took me some time.  :)
And since Oakhill is build on a, you guess it, hill, it gave me a good oppertunity to build a sunken station. I hope you like it.

Looking good so far, Glowbal! As for your missing plugin, the number that the game gives you is the decimal equivalent of the missing plugin's hex code (the one that appears in the SC4Model/Desc/Lot file name), which my calculator says is 1471715C. Unfortunately, I don't have any plugins with this code, so I can't help you any more than that. If any of the lots in your city has a brown box on it, you can try to identify the lot's creator and search the exchanges for prop packs by that creator. Good luck!

I like what I see! That missing texture is probably just a normal game bug relating to that lot having a transparent base texture; sometimes such textures cause the ground beneath them to disappear, revealing a bit of the background.

Keep up the good work!

We will not tolerate this ongoing threat any longer. I hearby announce to provide Oak Hill with any financial problem necessary and we offer the support of our military as well. We will not just stand by and watch other countries get attacked like this."

On behalf of my people, I offer the citizens of Oak Hill my deepest condolences for their losses this day, and my prayers are with the rescuers and President Jackson. Should Oak Hill accept, I pledge to send some of Lower Columbia's bravest soldiers to track down and punish the scoundrels responsible for this attack. God bless you all."

A New Base..

Now, you might have been wondering why I didn't continue with the story line in the last few days.. The reason is, that I had to finish of a few projects before I could actually continue.

From now on, every update in this story will contain pictures.

But first.. we are going on a trip to...

Thanks to those who followed my MD.

Sadly, I have to announce that I am forced to close this MD, due the lost of my cities and regions. I had a PC crash which could only be solved by re-installing my PC. I just got my PC working again, and now im off to instal sc4 and a whole list of dependancies..

Cheers!

Close this MD???  That sad news! I hope that do not need such decision!
Very nice the last update!!!  :thumbsup:
