Olympus City: Evolutions... 8-15-2008: Turning Back the Pendulum: prologue

[urban]

the port looks amazing, especially the night-shoot

[dedgren]

Ryan- It's great to see another MDer with an interest in ports.  They're a fascinating subject in and of themselves, and are so poorly done in the "vanilla" game.  You're getting a lot of good feedback, and I'll hope to see you continue your LOTting efforts, which I'm sure will be appreciated by many.

thanks for the comments everyone and David's especially. I do have some bad news. That current lot i was working on became corrupted for some strange reason so ill have to start from scratch. I never really was impressed with it so I will redo it again. David, this is a lil side project of mine im doing while ya ready up the icons and query. Also to keep my lotting skills sharp and to further refine my skills with LE. Hopefully with this lil project. Itll make lotting those diagonal runways a piece of cake! 

PS. I am also interested if someone can texture me diagonal sidings on my diagonal warehouse set. im looking for a sort of base texture that has part grass part concrete texture diagonal wise meaning example   |  grass \ concrete texture | and also someone who can make a diagonal fence prop or direct me to a prop pack that has one. If this can be done then the diagonal warehouse set will look seemless and not so edgy.  thanks everyone. im sure people are tired of having that choppy diagonal issue with their cities.

[Shadow Assassin]

Bit of a tight fit for that left cruiser.

Looks great, though.

[Filasimo]

Now that you all have been waiting for......after a month of RL stuff i finally had some time for an update and a new storyline arc....
SA: the battle cruisers can land in the most tightest spots 

****Special Super Typhoon Kurusaki Coverage****

Evacuations are now underway as this massive typhoon approaches Olympus City. The impact shows a direct hit with catastrophic conditions imminent. Typhoon Kurusaki, now upgraded to a Super Typhoon, is packing winds as much as  410km with sustained winds as high as 520km. Kurusaki is approaching from the southeast. This is a very dangerous Typhoon. The massive typhoon is making forecasters and meteorologists have a difficult time to gather efficent data about the storm due to the fact that the computer instruments used to track this storm are spitting out inaccurate data making the landfall and closeness of the typhoon very hard to predict. The winds recorded were taken from one of the reconnaissance aircrafts before they mysteriously lost contact with the plane. Images from space that was taken from the U.S. Shuttle Discovery shows the massive hurricane heading towards Japan. One forecaster even noted that it could be 3 days til it makes landfall or as much as a week. This massive storm's outer rain bands are already whipping up the city with steady rain and gusty winds making evacutation efforts very difficult.

The Olympus City Air Battalion are transporting the evacuees and flying them away from the city in their C130 Yamamoto Battleships with the capacity amount of 5000 evacuees per ship. The Olympus City Air Battalion currently have 500 ships in commission. They will then be flown to the Olympus protectorate state of Isshin where they will reside until a comprehensive plan regarding the new home of the Olympians is established. There will be 25 airships transporting evacuees every day for the next 4 days. Officials are urging citizens to bring whats most valuable to them and to limit what they bring.  The government is hoping that the super typhoon makes landfall after the evacuations are completed but one cannot predict the storm of this magnitude. Environmentalists are blaming global warming and people polluting the air as a result of this massive typhoon..

***BREAKING NEWS!!!****

We bring you with more breaking news coming out of Pine Grove, USA.....apparently there has been a massive explosion in the city's quarantined area where there has been a massive strain of abnormal human behavior occurring. This is a recent pic that was sent to us from The BBC that is closely following this dangerous situation. More information to follow as we bring it to you. Following coverage of Super Typhoon Kurusaki will continue after these messages. .....STAY TUNED!!
