	Simcity RH Game 4 Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Last one's winding down, so here's a new one.

New map, Xiamen. Download config and grayscale below.

Located on the southeast coast of China, Xiamen (Mansion Gate) is a major port city. Located across a narrow body of water within sight of the city is the heavily fortified Taiwanese island of Kinmen (Gold Gate). This split was the result of a civil war that ended with Communists victorious but short on naval capabilities.

During the 1950s, an invasion of Kinmen from Xiamen was fought and repelled, and subsequently there were decades-long artillery duels and occassional air battles. The vast number of shells fired at Kinmen from Xiamen led to a development of a local metalworking industry, famous for its cooking knives.

With warming international relations in the last few years, the Taiwan and China governments initiated the "Small Three Links" as a test for subsequent direct economic links. The two islands are now connected by boat, with a brisk trade in goods flowing through Xiamen and Kinmen between China and Taiwan.

Were we going to do any different mods this time? (Not that I could get all the old mods to work...I never even got any help text on the puzzle pieces to know how to use them.)

As I had previously dibbed, 14NQ.

Time for the boring making the map bit.

Plugins: I also couldn't get the downloaded plugins to work, so I just downloaded NAM and made sure to use the same pathfinding/capacity files.

Current map status.

I'll pick something later.

So far as mods, I say we go with what we used last time, though do we want to add the garbage chute?

Same as last time but with chute

Can someone make a RAR/ZIP of them again? (I'll use the one from last time, but it really saved time for others, and i'm not sure i'm familiar enough with these mods to do it myself)

What's the garbage chute do?

	13-08-2005 09:08									#17

The garbage chute gets rid of garbage.

For whoever takes 12HI, I'm putting an interstate connection in on the end of that peninsula, since it's the only place I can connect on that side of the tile.

Chute chute chute!

In a trial run on my city I found that the ferries caused unbearable lag I think it's something to do with the pathfinding algorithm, large amount of open water (rather than rivers) and the NAM settings.

I can work with bridges and some stranger options tho.

Might pay to get the latest NAM for the new plugins zip since some had trouble with the last one.

Just in case anyone new shows up here ...

How to get the map: (Copied and modified from Smiley's post in the previous game!)

1. Create new region Xiamen
2. Load up another region
3. Drop the config.bmp into the Xiamen region folder.
4. Load up Xiamen region
5. Hit Control-Alternate-Shift-R
6. Select the grayscale jpg Xiamen.jpg
7. Wait a few minutes while your computer generates the map. (Note: On my fairly decent computer, this took over 10 minutes.)
8. Don't forget to plant trees and place animals when you start your city.

I'll use a stopwatch, but basing on Kitakyushu, on an A64 3000+ it'll take about five minutes. I was sure the game had crashed midway...

Edit: Seven and a half. Probably because it's now larger than the original Kitakyushu.

	Plugins Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

This is the CURRENT VERSION OF THE PLUGINS, including the trash chute. It is the version of the NAM that we used in the last game. I looked at (and DLed) the July version of NAM, but I don't understand enough of the 'optional' details to install it myself, nor did we agree yet to do that.

If we're going to do that (which i'm fine with), someone please post an updated version.

TO USE THIS FILE: install it over your %profile%/my documents/sim city 4/plugins folder. Make sure your /program files/maxis/sim city 4/plugins folder is empty. (Or the other way around, whatever floats your boat.)

If you want to recover mods that you had used in the past, please back them up now.

EDIT: Bah, it's considered too big for Poly upload (tho 4.83 MB on my computer?). PM me for the file with your email addy and i'll mail it to ya. Or someone else can host it

Yeah, I have a 2200+ (not64) with 1.5gb ram and a 533mhz FSB. Slower than yours by a bit. But, Kita took much less time than this one, for me...

It's probably all the little islands that are placed to make bridge building difficult if not impossible.

Maybe you could do two seperate cities on the two sides?

Map as of right now, I'll pick a tile later today when I start playing the first five years.
