New city view with new pics: Version 6.0 Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

FINALLY, ONE ONLY ZIP FILE TO DOWNLOAD!

NewCityView 6.0
By Ismailov,
with the special collaboration of Player1 and GIDustin.

FEATURES:
- No new rules, it is only an aesthetical mod. It has effect
when you press the city view button of any of your cities.
- More houses in your cities in all eras. I thought that the original
cities were too empty, I preferred some kind of overcrowded cities.
- Big buildings instead of small houses in industrial and modern eras.
Now it looks like the historical center of any current cool city.
- The cities doesn't loose their own cultural characteristics when
you reach the modern era.
- No "holes" in the middle of the cities: Cities are now full of buildings.
- Some extras in industrial and modern metropolies, like a railway station
or a highway.
- Some houses had a purple rare shadow in the original files.
This bug has been fixed in most cases.

TO INSTALL:
- Copy the files:

Filler-amr.pcx
Filler-eur.pcx
Filler-mea.pcx
Filler-fea.pcx

in folder Art\City view\Miscellaneous inside the folder where

in folder Art\City view\Backgrounds inside the folder where
you installed the game.

I tell ya, Firaxis has monkeys arse's for brains.

Who said "Hey, let's make the big cities look empty and just put some buildings here and there"

Do any of them have an imagination? (Apart from the leader artist, that person put some creativity into that at least).

Hey, Ismailov, you know what would be another COOL idea? Read closely, I think this is a great idea:


Ancient: rugged people on the streets! some with ancient wheelbarrows, etc!

Classical: chariots, slaves, and so on

Industrial: wagons, beggers, bike riders...

Modern: cars, moterbikes, petrol stations? I dunno, i'm trying to flood in some ideas.

Don't forget the kids!

Hey, I really want this, but how do you make a city look crowded with buildings? It would be easy to change some of the houses into other buildings, like petrol stations for example.

By the way, Ismailov,

It tried something similar 9 months ago.
(but it was just mostly not-so good cut&past work, but still better then original)
It can be found here at files forums:

Here are the files (again) Get a bigger avatar today!

It's true: the file is broken. When I posted it I downloaded it and it worked, so I can't understand...

So here it is again...

The proposed ideas are good, but now I'm working on a more simple improvement: put a "central park" in the middle of the huge cities (12 population or more), so that there is never a "central hole" near the bank and the couthouse... As soon as I have it I'll post...

One of the problems is that there is no way to fill empty spaces, which are reserved for not yet built buildings or wonders.

(only Civ1 had well done city-veiew)

Broken again! Suffering from ads?

The file is ok in my computer, but when I download it, it is broken. Therefore, I'll send the five files one by one...

pcx extension are not allowed, so I'll put it as bmp. Just rename the extension to pcx when you download it...

Here is the first...

Great MOD!

It's so good that I'll stop using my own Skyscraper MOD.

By the way, in order to make it complete, can you add, from my own Skyscraper MOD, a part which fixes "graphic road bug" to your own MOD? (four PCX with ROAD in their name).

They fix the bug, which prevents proper intersection of main street and one of other streets (instead of intersection, main street just become a dead end).

Here's your zip. If this one doesn't work the problem is in the server. I sent it up to my server and brought it back down with no errors.

Edit: Sorry folks, the server is not properly serving up zip files so this one, while working just fine on another server is not working here at poly. Could one of the mods look into this?

The new zip file is broken again, but thank you anyway, miccofl. I guess there are some problems with zip files in this server...

player1, It's a good idea, post your road files here to improve the mod...

sn00py, I think it would be wonderful to include some people in the cities... When I developed this mod, I wanted to create a "live" city, not a cold and empty one like it was the original.

el mencey, gracias por la bienvenida!

If anyone else want to contribute new buildings, it would be great!

In a few days I'll post here my new "central park" feature... I'm testing it and I think it'll be good!

MarkG and DanQ are getting sick of Apolyton.

They stopped fixing stuff, and they're trying to get rid of us by giving us unlimited popup windows with the stupidest ads in them.

I have drifted to Civfanatics, and I never thought that would happen.

It will be goodbye Apolyton soon, and it's like they always say; The greatest empire must fall.
