God Terraforming in Mayor Mode (GTM)

dragonshardz · July 06, 2008, 08:56:16 AM

I tried the GTM as well and one thing I noticed was that after going into Water Pollution dataview (to see the ocean floor) and using the GTM God tools, was that seaports tended to like to auto-level to the seafloor.

The only way to solve this was to a] terraform w/o the Water Pollution Dataview on or b]terraform w/the Water Pollution Dataview on, save and exit to region, then use land/water lots.

Thanks Mrtnrln,

Dragonshardz, I placed a seaport, switched to water pollution, used GTM God Tools and nothing happened, when I was away from the seaport or near the seaport, and when I went over the seaport it demolsihed like it should, I didn't find the seaport sinking.

And I only use the Maxis seaport, if it makes a difference, try using the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing to go back to god mode, and try remove the GTM.

No, this only happened AFTER terraforming with the GTM in Water Pollution, then placing a custom land/water lot. One of the lots I tested this out with happened to be a seaport that replaces the Maxis seaport.

OK now I switched to water pollution, terraformed, plopped a seaport, and everything was normal,

So I start again, switch to water pollution, terraformed, switched back to nomral, ploped a seaport, and still everything is normal.

Is anyone else having this problem?

This is an awesome mod! I've just noticed, though, that the text for Seed Forests on the God mode menu is missing. Is it like that for everyone else, or is my game just acting quirky today?

No, I noticed that myself in my German version of the game. Must be a bug in the UI file (probably a wrong or missing LTEXT ID).

Jonathan · July 07, 2008, 08:46:25 AM

Somehow when copying the buttons to the new UI, some of the properties of that button got lost, I'm transferring them now.

Can someone try and replicate the problem Dragonshardz had, and post what happened?

el_cozu · July 07, 2008, 09:07:34 AM

may I ask what does UI mean?... cuz there's an option of that in SC4 and i don't really notice a difference between having it activated or not

dragonshardz · July 07, 2008, 09:10:33 AM

UI: User Interface.

And Warrior, I suspect that what happened to me may be a unique event. However, if someone can reproduce it, I'll be happy because I'll know I'm not crazy.

Unassigned · July 07, 2008, 09:16:18 AM

Warrior, I did some God mode terraforming on a fresh all-land tile in water pollution mode (created some water areas), went back to n ormal mode and plopped Maxis seaport, car/passenger & passenger ferriy terminals then plopped some PEG auto-level ports and terminals, Goldiva's water taxi and Yacht Club and some JRJ Seawalls without encountering any unexpected ssues.

dragonshardz, most crazy people "know" they're not crazy

Jonathan · July 08, 2008, 10:14:32 AM

Na I highly doubt your crazy, it's more likely the game.

Here is version 3, updated readme, fixed text for Seed Forests and more languages (now thats 12) (thanks to Travis, RippleJet and Google)
The new languages are,
French
Swedish
Finnish
Norwegian
Italian
Spanish
Polish

These need testing on their respective languages games. Hopefully the ones by Google(Italian, Spanish, Polish) aren't wrong contextual or not.

Please test and report back soon, I'll have an installer and LEX stuff ready soon once no more bugs are found.

Thanks to everyone who's downloaded and given feedback and shown their support.

Jonathan.

Ah, slight note: my problems were encountered with the English v1.

sithlrd98 · July 10, 2008, 03:24:21 PM

I just wanted to say that although I didn't have any issues with the previous mod, this one is much nicer! Thanks for the hard work !

Jonathan · July 14, 2008, 11:22:46 AM

I'm just wondering if there is still interest in this, and if it has any bugs and can be released properly on the LEX and STEX. Hopefully there still is.

BarbyW · July 14, 2008, 11:49:04 AM

I haven't had any problems with this at all but I haven't yet tested the latest version. I am away from Wed but will be calling in daily so if you want to prepare the Readme and LEX image ready I will let you know when we can upload it for you.

Jonathan · July 14, 2008, 12:08:29 PM

I have got the installer version ready. It includes the readme and LEX image(I only have one image as I couldn't think of what to put in the other one)

Thank you very much, Barby.

Jonathan

BarbyW · July 14, 2008, 12:32:13 PM

I have the file, Jonathan, and I am sure we can get this to the LEX very quickly.

homefryes · July 14, 2008, 02:31:53 PM

Warrior, thanks for your excellent work on this. I did download your latest version, and it works beautifully and looks great. What an awesome tool!

But of course! As the last version I tested gives me no problems I'm simply waiting for a release and will then upgrade. Am using your GTM every day.

Jonathan · July 15, 2008, 12:59:59 PM

Thanks Barby, when it is up on the LEX, I shall upload it to the TPPEX and STEX.
Thanks for showing your interest, hopefully the installer version will be up very soon.

EDIT: As it gets towards the end of the school year, and I will be going to France soon, things look to get busier, so I'm going to upload the installer to the STEX and TPPEX (www.theplanningpages.com) now. And hopefully it will be added to the LEX soon.
