Finished the mayor tutorial now, will try the terraforming one.

Btw, why when scrolling the map(not simply right clicking) the shadows, people, cars, and individual stuff every building has dissapear on the closer zooms and the RCI buildings on the farther ones? It's pretty annoying.

My city has:

Res: 1,600
Com: 257
Ind: 747

I forgot to connect my city to Jonny and John-SJ, but connected to Vovanburg (one more connection)... I checked your city, and there where nothing in the way... I hope you don't mind...

Btw, my city is called ADGille

Btw, I think we should say, the first turn should be played, before the end of this week... Those players, who haven't played their turn until then, may play two turns (or how many turns behind they are), when they are ready...

...Or what do you others think?...

I played my turn. I'm gonna be a nice big bedroom community.

R - 2043
C - 360
I - 770

Roads connected only to Jonny, and some major terraforming was made(edges reconciled).

Here's a screenshot of my area after the terraforming.

That's because you started your city, before you imported his city... Try to goto his city, and reconnect, then you have the connection in your city...

I have a problem uploading my city. First, I was able to upload it the first time but I realized that I had not set binary mode first so I attempted to upload it a second time after setting binary mode. When I did this I got the message "Cannot STOR. No permission". I then tried to delety the city so I could re-uplaod it in binary mode and got the message "Cannot DELE. No permission". Finally, I switched back to ASCII mode and attempted to uplad again. This failed also. Hmmm.

I think this permission problem needs to be fixed or we will have to upload each save file under a different name.

Questions: Did everyone else remember to upload in binary mode? Am I missing something? Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

What exactly is the problem, but not uploading in binary mode? I just imported your city, and had no problems!?!

Maybe binary mode is not necessary, if no one else has done it and is able to download successfuly. But ftp, by default, converts 8-bit bytes to 7-bit ascii characters. If you ftp a binary file such as an executable or many data file types in this mode it will be unusable. Binary mode prevents this conversion and gurantees that no 8->7 bit conversion takes place.

If no one else is doing this then I guess it is not required for .sc4 files.

John-SJ

edit: Just saw your last post ADG, in that case binary mode is not needed. Thanks!

Okay, we need to coordinate our efforts a little bit here. Thing is, two bedroom communities right next to each other (namely, mine, and Eli's) would not work very well, as there will then be lots of deman for industrial areas, and only ADG would have it. (And possibly Johnny.) So, I suppose one of us should build some industry on the border between the two cities - Elipolis and Vovanburg. I suppose since I have more money left, I could do this. But what do you think, Eli?

Hehe! Sorry about bringing these "old world" concepts such as binary mode to this forum. You see, I have been working with Unix->Windows ftp transfers for such a long time that I totally forgot that IE is capable of handling all of those details on its own.

I got it now though. Gee, IE ftp is so much easier than using the ftp from a dos prompt!

Does anyone know the effects that seaports and airports have on inter-region development?

I assume that seaports would all you to exchange commercial and industrial produce with other cities while airports would allow residents to commute, as well as promote commerce and tourism.

I will be building a seaport as soon as possible.

Trying to avoid it, if possible, but I had no other choice when starting, since I imported Vovanburg, before starting to play

	07-02-2003 23:04									#146

I am not really sure about the effects, since I have yet to build a seaport or an airport, but I think you are very close to truth here, Osweld.

I was wondering, does anybody have the city, where Jonny is supposed to be? After I downloaded all the cities from the FTP, I accidentally put John-SJ's city in the place of Jonny's. Now, that I moved it to the right place, sure enough the original terrain setting is reverted to just flat plains. Which looks ugly. So, if somebody has that city intact, please attach it here, or upload it to the FTP.

Well, thing is, that his city is on the other side of the peninsula. So, if I just reconcile the edges, there appears now a lake in the middle of it.

And I cannot find it on the CD, since everything is in the .dat files... It is certainly playable for now, just doesn't look so good. I'll just either wait till Jonny plays his turn to put the city there, or whine more for somebody to post the city here.
