Ok, just out of curiosity... how is everyone going? Not trying to chase you, as I haven't even started work on the others yet,

Just wondering.

Windows Classic might help, because it turns off Aero entirely.

As for the FSHman, it will work, but not properly. The problem I have is that it won't read FSH files. Funny, eh. But luckily, I can just use something else to get the textures I need. It seems programs coded using the NET framework don't like Vista that much for some reason [this applies to SC4Tool, too].

i'd say im in the same situation (on vista)-(tried using the old Computer aswell, but fshman and sc4tool read: mscorre.dll missing) . so what is it you use SA?

Its ok Shaun...

The EA Graphics Editor may be of interest for MS Vista users. It allows to convert FSH files to graphic files and back. It's much less convenient than SC4Tool, but if you have no other choice ...

... Why dont you guys re-install Windows XP with Service Pack 2. Dont get SP3 because they have MAJOR issues with SP3 at the moment...

I will not be upgrading to Windows Vista anytime soon as there are too many incompatibilities with it and they really screwed up with it. Ive heard from some of my tech buddies at school that they are probably going to release a new Windows before getting all the issues with Vista sorted out. I think I will completely bypass Vista and wait for the next one before I upgrade.

i'm running the 64-bit version of vista and have had no problems whatsoever.

I've had it for 8 months and have never gotten the BSOD.

maybe you guys should upgrade your processors to AMDs.

i can easily run SC4 in windowed mode, IE7 with like 7 tabs, Outlook, AIM all at the same time without any lag...i only have a 2GHz processor AMD Athlon 3000+ and 2GB of RAM. So i think it's not vista but 32-bit processors that are having trouble with vista. Vista 64-bit is 100 times better than XP Pro 64x and even XP Pro. I only have Premium btw...anyway nice textures everyone

can't Wait for SAM v4.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 4200+... I just like my Windows XP (32-bit Edition). I used to have Intel products, but after a few unhappy issues, I have decided to go with AMD as the processors are cheaper and seem to work better.

1) i try to download the EA Graphics Editor and it says "Only one connection per IP" i thought that i was the only one on this IP address...

2) Okay, about Pat's situation: The administrator of www.simcities.net, Mike Dixon-Kennedy, aka OP4 or OnlyPlace4, died the other day. His lack of progress with his gravel roads may be related to that, but this is just speculation.

3) I am making progress rather quickly with killing the stop lines.

Pat · May 23, 2008, 08:16:21 PM

Well that is now a good part, but Ive been at a stand still for awhile now as I just cant handle the rest... Its more or less way above my head... So if someone else could carry on with it that would be grand... I just now really dont have the umph to try any more....

swat-medic · May 23, 2008, 08:28:53 PM

Pat! I would be more than happy to take over your project. Please PM me details!

Lets all Remember Mike forever!

RebaLynnTS · May 24, 2008, 05:57:11 AM

Pat. I am so very sorry to hear about your friend. I will be keeping you, your family, and his family in my prayers.

superhands · May 24, 2008, 06:24:26 AM

thanks chrism. will try it.
i had been using the "print screen" option of getting textures which works well, except in my case it was leaving 1 x 128 pixles out of the equation.

Thanks Swat and Becca!!!

Guys, I dont want to be mean or anything, but can we keep the OP4 discussion in the dedicated thread. This is a developement thread and I would like to keep it in a positive light.

nerdly_dood · May 24, 2008, 12:26:02 PM

Here's a link to the 'official discussion thread'..

jplumbley, hope you don't mind -it may not be progress

chrism, or anyone who might know, what attributes/shpi properties do you save the fsh file as in ea graphics editor?- to convert bmp back to fsh ie:format palette, transp, header
thanks
