The Sim Series - SimANT?! - Games

Could you take care of it? That's still the most recent version, and I'm caught up in Blue Burst right now. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] And yeah, we need Deluxe or the normal + Rush Hour.

Working on a city now, and yes, the dropbox idea is a good idea. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] Almost got the framework done, gonna let it grow a bit. I'll upload it in a few minutes. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?bostv22xyhigye0[/url] Loving this so far. [img]http://i.imgur.com/oaP5l.jpg[/img]

I'm not the only one who went into New New Jersey and destroyed it without saving... Right?

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30837138]I'm not the only one who went into New New Jersey and destroyed it without saving... Right?[/QUOTE] Nope.

If you are going to make a city collaboration, making a thread would probably be best.

Okay, so here is the plan, nobody edit the map for the next 20 or so minutes, or until I ask for PMS to the dropbox thingy. I will download Kilowatt's link, and then make the shared folder. What you're all going to need to do, is get [url=http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html]a program that can make Symbolic links[/url] and make a link between the dropbox folder, and the simcity regions folder. If you guys need it, I will make a tutorial. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] Alright, need Dropbox emails.

-snip got the invitation- [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] I am confused, I got the program, but how do I make the symbolic link between the folders?

Put a tut in the folder with the region. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] By the way, we should be able to avoid corruption so long as nobody enters anybody else's city without asking first. Because, the way the save system works is there is a separate file per city. So, we should be okay.

I think I got it. I created a folder for an example in my Sim City 4 regions folder, and it popped up in the dropbox folder. Awesome.

Sent my email in a PM.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30837967]Sent my email in a PM.[/QUOTE] The tutorial is a bit confusing, but you will get a folder named Facepunch - Symbolic Link. Just re-name it so Sim City 4 can recognize it as our usual save.

So wait, do I copy it and link it? [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] And we really should make a thread, it'd attract even more people. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] I think I got it set up. I copied it, then hit pick link source on the dropbox version, and picked drop as on the SC4 one. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] Just to check, there's a city called Blazing Falls now right?

Here is how it works. Step 1) Right Click on "Facepunch" in the folder marked "Facepunch Sim City 4 colab". Step 2) Click on "Pick Link Source" Step 3) Navigate to your Sim City Regions folder in My Documents. Step 4) Right click anywhere in the folder with the other regions (Timbuktu, Fairview, New York, etc) Step 5) Go to the menu marked Drop As, then inside that menu, click Symbolic Link. Step 6) Wait for a shortcut to be placed, if shortcut has anything besides Facepunch in the name, shorten it until it is just Facepunch. Step 7) Launch up Sim City 4, load the region, and don't enter other people's cities without permission. Limit to one person per city per time [B]OR THERE WILL BE CORRUPTION![/B]. Have fun. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [B]NOTE:[/B] There should be ABSOLUTELY NO SUB-FOLDERS IN THE FACEPUNCH REGION FOLDER. If there is, they will be deleted.

I don't get Drop As when I click in whitespace.

What the hell just happened? Everything is gone. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30838672]I don't get Drop As when I click in whitespace.[/QUOTE] You probably didn't install the symbolic link software.

I did install it. [img]http://gyazo.com/53ffe165d952b99e9ec50d7bbba9299d.png[/img] [img]http://gyazo.com/1682b77d209a938ff857d591fcaa7e22.png[/img]

Still nothing. It pops up when I click on folders though.

Make a thread.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30838774]Still nothing. It pops up when I click on folders though.[/QUOTE] That's so odd... I guess make a folder inside Regions named Facepunch, drop it on that folder and see what happens. Just make sure all the files are shortcuts to the dropbox thingy so it's in sync. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] Also, I'll get to making a thread.

The folder is synced but the files aren't shortcuts.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30838933]The folder is synced but the files aren't shortcuts.[/QUOTE] Ugh, lemme finish the thread. I'll mention it there. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1103313-The-Facepunch-Sim-City-4-Colab-project[/url] The project will be discussed further here.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;30826081]Don't use landfills. They make your city real crappy. Unless you're going for a real low class citizenship type thing. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] Also, what's the pop, and how'd you get that hydrogen plant?[/QUOTE] the land fill is the only way to stop the electric dude from being a fag. you can unlock it its in the electric menu. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30821305]Was that for the region? If so, could you name it? If not, sorry.[/QUOTE] I renamed it heaven but back then i was thinking of a name

Title of sim ant reminded me of that fucking Spider...How it growls at you and tells you in detail how you were eaten

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;30814174][img]http://gyazo.com/58871eca351ea9b140f40396a98bf2fc.png[/img] There, I made a river-side factory town and I made an in progress mix town. I'll change it as we go along. I still claim one of the xl spaces myself though. Just sayin. Uploading now. Just say if you download it, and the first person to get it can build the next few cities. Just let us know how many and what sizes. Feel free to terraform to your heart's content so long as it all links up and looks great. I'd like to see that river empty out into the sea. [editline]30th June 2011[/editline] Does anyone know a good upload site? I can't use dropbox right now and Mediafire won't work. [editline]30th June 2011[/editline] Never mind, had to make it into a RAR [url]http://www.mediafire.com/file/avd2dzz3h5tzk2n/Facepunch.rar[/url][/QUOTE] That's it, you made me reinstall the game.

Sorry to bump this, but i just found a picture on my camera i intended to post a while ago and thought i may aswell. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/PC1201131.JPG[/img]
