CAM - General Discussions

[BarbyW]

Mas71-san, these are the packs that will be used to make CAM lots. I am making a set of test lots with ks_jpn BATs for the Beta testers. These should be available later today. When lots are made with the other packs they can be downloaded as needed.
I have been testing this out and among the test lots I made was one for a Superstar BAT. I had it grow today and here is the query showing it is a stage 12 lot.



To date I have had no issues with the mod and have changed the demand dats without any problems after leaving a city to run for a month or so. The only "issue" was the demand graph initially looking odd but after a month it returned to what it should look like.

Holy Batpoop, Batman!

Colossal hardly describes this...

@BarbyW
Thank you for your answer quickly
Ok,I see.

I have a simply things that...
".SC4Desc" ".SC4Lot" are needs change properties for CAM. but ".SC4Model" is not need it.
so I should download only models "Prop Packs".

This is my selfish easily imagination.
(The person thought that a burden might not depend on a server of LEX in the future. )


A making many LOTs for CAM, I understand well that It's too hardly work!!
I waiting expectantly for completion a CAM while thanking you CAM's great makers!!


Thank you again BarbyW

so i am guess using ripplejets table... a stage 12 co$$ has 490 occupants per tile as a guideline.... so a 3x4 lot would have 5880 jobs. a 4x4 would have 7720, a 3x5 would have 7230, nad a 7x2 would have 6740, please can you tell me what lot size it is one so to give an estimate of the deviation margins from ripplejets figures that are possible within the system...

[BarbyW]

It is a little more complex than that, mightygoose, and no further information can be given at this stage.

[mightygoose]

ok

[thundercrack83]

I'm struggling to follow the details of what's going on, but from the sounds of things, it seems to be going well. Keep up the great work, guys!

Hey guys, Ive been playing a bit today with the CAM installed, but Im not sure Ive had any of the lots grow yet, will it be as clear as the example above on all the lots? Also, what kind of feedback do you want and do you want it over at the BSC boards rather than here?

Fred

[BarbyW]

The lots I have made I have changed the name to show the stage. I am just about to upload the next lots for you together with the edited other ones with the stage showing.

[freedo50]

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Im having trouble getting onto the BSC site atm is there a reason for this or is it just my connection (again!) ?

Hey guys, Ive been playing a bit today with the CAM installed...

First comes the jaw-dropper (barby's announcement this morning), now comes the name-dropper... FRED!  That was pretty shameless...

...Well, as I was sitting down to lunch earlier with Will Wright and Steve Jobs...

'hem, think of how the rest of us feel now.  That's okay, though, I've got Bill (Bill Gates, of course, but he told me to call him Bill) on hold and he was just following up on my recent Windows Vista purchase to see if I was satisfied...

I can't to BSC either so it looks as though it is down. You will have to wait until tomorrow if you don't have a link to the private LEX.

[mightygoose]

that is some fascinating info, but surely the CN tower belongs in a lower stage, after all it has very few occupiable floors and this system is about density more than height....

I understand it is a combination of height, density and lot size. When taken those three values into consideration I can see the CN tower being a stage 15 lot.

[BarbyW]

this system is about density more than height

Who said it is? I told you it was more complex than you appear to believe and you will have to wait for testing to be completed.

[mightygoose]

well isnt the entire point of stages to be a graduated scale of urban density.... or thats how i always percieved it...

[RippleJet]

Growth stage is a function of occupancy density, and occupancy is a function of building volume and floorage requirement (which is different for different types if RCI, and intergrated in the tool yet to be published).

Alarik pretty much nailed it down. The building height is included in the calculation of the occupancy, and the lot size is included in the calculation of the density.

[BarbyW]

Well it works to stage 15



The first Stage 15 I managed to grow. It is a CS§§

[MAS71]

Wao! Really?? Have you already reached the stage 15!?
Bravo!  BarbyW 

Opps...I wanted to take NO.1 (lol)

by the way,
At present, it goes well all. 
(It have no problem with "Display of UI" "state of commuting" and "rebuilding",,,, etc )
