Three Rivers Region

[Ryan B.]

David, this new farm stuff you're coming out with there is going to make me break my city-kinda-thinkin' and start building a region with agriculture in it.  Great work!

And, as always - continued wishes for good health.

Great RL pictures there, David! And looking forward to more work from you!

[superhands]

breaking up the grid! those 'CP's sure look great up close and regionaly on the map!
the time, blood and sweat taken to make those textures, ive already tried to modify them in LE and found the problem of matching them up-time! thanks David.
by the way, im a 2ndyr-uni Agricutural scientist

edit:the cp folder was uploaded to to filfactory... before the lex crash right? thinking ahead, smart man DE.

[dedgren]

Are you ready for some fencelines?









'cos they're just about ready for you.

You'll notice in the last pic the little green circle at the edge of the CPI circle.  That's a missing base texture- if you are handy with the Lot Editor you can fix it in about 30 seconds.  For the rest of us, I will upload a patch lot that you can DL and replace the original lot with.

The crop circles look awesome and I'm sorry to hear that you are getting more snow. 
I think way down here in Ontario, we are done for the year with the snow.  Or at least I hope so.  I like winter, but I think I'm done with it for another year.  Today is suppose to be very warm, @18 degree Celsius = 64.4 degree Fahrenheit, a little rain/thunder storm this morning, but that's good for all the pretty flowers. 
Good to see up and around again.

LoL David that is about what has happend here last night in Rhinelander we gotten about 3 - 4 inches and area's around total new snow storm amout of 6 - 8 including Eagle River WI lol....  Fences look great!!!! Cant wait to get em!!!!!!!!

[emilin]

Yes, yes, yes... we are more than ready for them. I have already started making farmlands over in my own journal, and thesa are just the missing pieces left.

[bat]

Looking really great there! Looking forward to use these fences!

[thundercrack83]

Outstanding! I'm definitely looking forward to the fences, David!

And sorry to hear about the snow in your neck of the woods. I guess winter's not quite over yet!

Now if I could just make those fershlugginer lamp posts go away.



Off to a settlement conference.

Later.

Leave an extra tile between your fences and the road

The alternative is to edit the game's network tile exemplars (T21's) for No Wealth (0) and remove the props from them.

-Swamper


EDIT:  Thank you, Jan, and I shall do that forthwith!  Actually, I'll add a bit- 3RR's primary road right-of-way ("ROW") in rural areas is 150 feet/48 meters- hence the placement of the fences where you see them. -DE

[Pat]

   David that is just wonderful there!!! I soo really cant wait to get ahold of those fence's!!!!!!!!

[jacqulina]

i cant wait my friend

[dedgren]

With apologies to Peter Noone...





I'm leaning on a lamppost... NOT!


David

[TheTeaCat]

Superb.

Some marvelous improvements you have achieved in such a short time

I love popping in here to find something new. and as always you amaze once again. 

Take a mo and SLOW down with the nice refreshing cuppa

David...Thank you for the windmill DL and I too await the fences. Was going to comment on the picture of the lone tree in the field...that certainly looks to be an oak but I see someone has already correctly noted that. I too was wondering if oaks grow in Alaska?

Anyway, wishing you and your compadres the best and keep up the excellent work!

George


EDIT:  Hey, George, hi!  My understanding, which 15 minutes of research on the internet would appear to confirm, is that no variety of the genus Quercus (oak) [linkie] grows native to Alaska.  Beautiful oaks, of course, grow from southern Canada all across the eastern half of the United States- we had oaks in my yard where I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago that had trunks over 16 feet/5 meters in girth. The most common 3RR oak would be the red oak (Quercus borealis) [linkie].  Here's a Field Guide to 3RR Trees [linkie], which includes the Northern Red Oak. -DE

n.b.:  Latin name capitalization convention corrected for on 4-10-08 per 3RR Regular^*, Fact Checker and resident arborologist Shaun (Diggis).

^*  A 3RR Regular, as you likely already know, is anyone who has posted at least once here on 3RR, or over at 3RR-ST.  Most all of you, of course, have posted many more times than this threshhold standard- thank you.

[threestooges]

That's a good trick. Did you end up tweaking the T21s? The fencelines look great and the whole look just seems to be coming together, and getting better with each passing pic. Interesting weather forecast. If April showers bring May flowers, what does April snow bring? At any rate, pretty darn good looking, and I'll keep an eye out for new developments (and the start of collaboration of course). Hope all is well, and I'll look forward to seeing what you have in store next.
-Matt


EDIT:  Yep, Matt- tweaked the T21 exemplars for the no wealth straight road sections to remove 0x2A580000, which calls the lamppost prop. -DE

[dedgren]

Heh!  3,299...


David

[Jmouse]

Woo hoo, can't wait to see the fences, but don't overdo it. You've come back strong and everybody wants you to stay that way!

Until fences...
