Facepunch SC4 Collaboration v2. Now with insane cultists worshipping the void at the edge of town - Games

[QUOTE=jordguitar;34997874]are you using the program to do it? [/QUOTE] What program should I be using?

mklink comes with the OS and you can't screw anything up with it, but does require use of the command line.

What do I need to put as the command? I put in the mklink part, now what?

[QUOTE=barttool;34997760]I'm looking into it, there must be a gameconfig file somewhere where you can force a resolution or tell it to run windowed.[/QUOTE] Everyone who's having this problem, I already worked it out myself. If you have the deluxe version, download this- [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43321825/Simcity%204.bat[/url] And put it on your desktop. It's a batch file that automatically launches the game in a widescreen resolution, and for me it appears in windowed mode. If it doesn't appear in windowed mode, right click the batch file and say edit, then type "-w" after the line of code at the beginning, minus the quotes. If you have a 32 bit processor or are running 32 bit windows, edit the file and remove the (x86) after "program files" in the line of code. Then you'll have a shortcut that launches the game just how you want it.

I just went on steam, hit properties, then launch options and put this in -l:english -Intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1440x900x32 and it works fine.

[QUOTE=cardfan212;34998384]What do I need to put as the command? I put in the mklink part, now what?[/QUOTE] mklink /d target source You need to be in the folder where Sim City saves it's files (So the folder contains the world folders), then link to the world folder in Dropbox. And you need to be an admin to run the command as well (so right click > Run as Administrator) Edit: To be clear, "target" is the name of the link and "source" is the folder it points to.

I sorted out my Simcity 4 issue, I'll think about joining when you've sorted out your issues, and when I get it to stop crashing.

I'm taking the plot in the upper left corner right now.

made another backup.

New Ogden is doing much better than the old one! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3664177/simcity/Capture.PNG[/img] After some coaxing, skyscrapers! This would be downtown but at this moment, just building up some money. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3664177/simcity/2.PNG[/img] I always build this when it tells me it wants me to do it. This time it is still in use instead of being abandoned! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3664177/simcity/3.PNG[/img] This is a census building. Now you might be wondering why the hell there is a phone booth in the middle of the road, well each time a car passes under the building, you get $0.25. As this is right next to the industrial zone and the ONLY way back to the residential zone is under that building, it adds up. Well that phone booth was there when i made it. I guess it got ran over enough that it removed itself. OH WELL! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3664177/simcity/4.PNG[/img] Huge airport, seaport and ferry terminal with water treatment and wave generators on this lone island. Seaport upgraded itself right before I took the pic so instead of 600 tons, its 900 tons! Its the only way to get my shit out of the city so build seaports and import from me!

Another problem with these collabs, my shit didn't save for some reason and I lost a bunch of progress. Jord what mods add those awesome buildings?

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;34999636]Another problem with these collabs, my shit didn't save for some reason and I lost a bunch of progress.

And you can only download it if you are a member (dont ask me for the list because that list isnt in his dropbox anymore!)

Requesting permission to connect East Flaegton to New Pompeii.

Done editing Bikonria Point for tonight.

Backup made of the entire folder just now

[QUOTE=thisispain;35000074]go for it my imperial city will gladly crush your meek economy (we're playing Civ, right?)[/QUOTE] Done, hopefully it didn't fuck anything over.

I'mma start my city, It's called Brilia [editline]5th March 2012[/editline] Do I link the plugins folder just like I did with the region thing?

Oh yeah, guys, we might be switching to the SVN/VCS or FTPBox (I'm still not sure which yet) by Tuesday (or start the transition, anyhow). I think I might start by using the FTPBox and, if that doesn't work, switch to an SVN/VCS, but if you guys think I should start with the other, that's fine, too.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;35001445]Holy prolapsed anus hendo [t]http://i40.tinypic.com/jh3qlg.png[/t] Lovin' your island[/QUOTE] thanks man

Update damn you update! I can't tell if someone's fucking with the region or I just haven't loaded things.

I will join in tonight, I'm really good at SC4. [editline]5th March 2012[/editline] I was in the first collab but you only see a part of my city on the screenshot.

Is someone using RCT cheats? Office demand is all fully negative in my new city and in my old city.

I'm good at SC4 and would like to join and play properly, but I'm using so many region effecting mods I'm afraid I would just break everything (NAM, CAM, that one farming demand mod) so will leave the region unbroken.

I am a total beginner at SC4, could someone teach me how to play?

Is cheating a bannable offense? If not it should be, minus cash cheats.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;35008627]Is cheating a bannable offense? If not it should be, minus cash cheats.[/QUOTE] It is. Who's doing it? [editline]5th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=cheesedelux;35005620]I'm good at SC4 and would like to join and play properly, but I'm using so many region effecting mods I'm afraid I would just break everything (NAM, CAM, that one farming demand mod) so will leave the region unbroken.[/QUOTE] The collab [i]requires[/i] NAM. As for CAM, I might add that if it looks like a good enough mod. The farming demand mod might not be included, though, but still link it to me. [b]Edit:[/b] I think you can use CAM without ruining anything if it's just a slower progression of lots, but the farming demand one could easily fuck over the region royally (which might already be done, unfortunately). [QUOTE=VistaPOWA;35006275]I am a total beginner at SC4, could someone teach me how to play?[/QUOTE] If you really need help, there should be a few tutorials in the Timbuktu region when you first start out. But I never needed to use them since you usually get notifications on what to do as your city progresses. You might also want to check my guide in the OP.

I only get Low-wealth office demand := [editline]5th March 2012[/editline] We should create a different region for creative cities who want to do RCT cheats.
