I'm right clicking in the regions folder, but there's no "drop as" thing in the context menu. The closest thing I can do is create a new folder entitled "facepunchia" and then right click on that.

I had to right click on the "regions" folder instead. It's all good.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;30943739]I have SimCity 4 but I'm hesitant to actually install it. Can someone make like a comparison list of SimCity 4 and CitiesXL 2011?
I'm not sure which one has more content and is more worth my time.[/QUOTE]
Well this isn't a Cities XL Collaboration is it?

Well, I've never played CitiesXL myself, from what I can gather from what other people have said:
CitiesXL is aesthetically better, but then again that's a given since Simcity 4 came out in 2003. CitiesXL also has a bit more complex economic system and allows for better building placement in cities. However, SimCity 4 has more complex systems of pretty much everything else, from transit to zoning, and also has a fairly active modding community with plenty of mods, any of which you can use during the collaboration with NAM (large-scale transit mod) being recommended. There's probably loads of other differences but I can't place each one because, yet again, I haven't played CitiesXL.
Also, traditionally SimCity 4 is a single-player game, so typically one couldn't get multiple people making multiple cities at the same time. However, using Dropbox, we have found a way to make the game allow a very rough and somewhat unstable (although not really) multiplayer, so we can have multiple people working in multiple cities at the same time.
Besides, if you already have it on-hand, you mind as well install it. Worse case scenario, you don't like it and you uninstall it. Simple as that.

Cities XL is too simple.

Yeah, this, basically.
OK, is there anyone with Windows 7 64bit that's been able to get it to work? No idea what's wrong. Followed everything in the OP and in the thread.

works fine
Was there ever a Sim City 5 announced? It would be great if the series went 3D like Cities XL did, but with all the wonderful complexity of Sim City 4.

Win 7 64 Ultimate here, and I'm in fine. Did you download the 32 or 64 bit version of the symbolic link tool?

64, wouldn't let me install the 32 bit version when I tried it earlier.

God fucking damnit.
If I were to have buildings from a mod that noone has in my city, would everyone be able to see it in region view or would it show up as being null or blank?
If the answer to the above question is yes, then does it work in city view, too? I presume not, but I'm not too sure.

The mod buildings will show up as giant packages.

Does the size of this aforementioned "package" depend on the size of the building?

Yes it looks like a giant UPS paper packaged with SIMCITY.COM stamped onto it.
Man I really wish I joined into this earlier. I'd love to give it a shot.

Join now, there is most definitely room for you.
The region is like, friggin huge, I've never realised how large the Sim City 4 map was before I joined this colab. Or binladen used an editor to make a larger map than normal.
what the hell, I did not delete all that shit. I was having fun, wtf happened. Oh well.. sigh.
[QUOTE=cheezey;30948065]The region is like, friggin huge, I've never released how large the Sim City 4 map was before I joined this colab[/QUOTE]
Usually the map is only 16 small cities by 16 small cities, which is the default setting. However, you can make regions as large as 128 small cities by 128 small cities (I think; only ever tested 100x100), but that large of a region is probably unstable. Nonetheless, if we do end up filling this whole region we have now (unlikely, but who knows?) I will probably extend it to 128x128. I don't think it will be necessary, however, as I think we'll probably end up hitting the memory limit for Dropbox before we end up filling the whole region.

Are you using your Dropbox account for anything other than this project? If so, you could be hitting a memory limit, especially if you're using a free account, in which case you should probably get another one dedicated to this alone as to avert any memory issues.

FUCK, I'd upgrade but binladen would probably not let me in because of this.
Can I just take a region or do I have to ask in the thread?

you can take any region and as many cities as you want afaik.

Mhmm, turns out I got a email from dropbox telling me Im almost out of space.

You know, you could just make another Dropbox account. That way you wouldn't have to upgrade.
