Anybody who wants to play SimCity 4 MP

[vovan]

So, should we go on with the next two years, or shall we wait for Jonny?

[Jonny]

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

I couldn't access ADG's FTP, so you can download my city from:

http://members.aol.com/jonny11788

Of course, since I can't get to the FTP, I can't get you guys' cities. I'll keep trying to get to the FTP.

City Name: Ocean City (forgot to put my name in it, sorry)
Res: 4939
Com: 834
Ind: 1729

Eli and ADG: You two can go ahead and bulid connections to my city if you want.

[vovan]

Why can't you get to the FTP, Jonny? What is the problem?

I couldn't connect at first either, because ADG said that there is no password. But if you leave the password blank, ir refuses the connection. However, you can put anything in that field and then it works... I don't know if that is your problem, but that might help...

[Jonny]

I keep getting "connection timed out" errors, no matter what I do to try and fix the problem. I've tried to connect about 25 times, it just isn't working. I tried what you suggested, and that didn't work either.

[vovan]

Hmmm... I just tried to connect again, and got the timeout also... Maybe ADG went over the limit for the day? It seems he is using the free service, and that is subject to mean bandwidth constraints...

[Jonny]

That could be the problem. I'll try again tommorow morning.

[Eli]

* Added support for new ATI Radeon drivers that add backing store capability.

Aha! I have no ida what "backing store capability" means, but it sounds like it's going to solve my problem.

[Adagio]

It might be because I went offline (about 1 am)... I had only two connections late, where someone couldn't get in, don't know the problem though...

It's not because I have a limited bandwidth, since I don't... anymore, had that problem some months ago, but not anymore...

But this might be a problem for you then, since I'm not able to be up later (My parents hate when I'm leaving my computer on, all night)

[Adagio]

For all those, who has all cities now, can play the next turn... I don't know what we can do about Jonny's problem

[Adagio]

I have now played my turn, and will post a picture of the region (after first turn)


I have now connected my city with Jonny and John-SJ

EDIT:

Vovansim, Jonny, Osweld :

I connected roads, electricity and pipes to your cities.

I have a coal power plant, a water pump and some landfill. So send your garbage over here and dont bother with powerplants and water pumps.

As soon as your residents start coming to work over here, i'll start expanding the industry.

[Adagio]

I just had a look at Osweld's city... doesn't railroads need satations to operate?

[General Ludd]

Depends what you mean "operate" for freight trains, any industry built along the track will have access, and a freight station will give industry not next to the rail a place to load the freight. Passenger trains need passanger stations, I haven't gotten around to building any of those yet. (there is a space reserved for one that you might of noticed)

[Adagio]

ok, I wasn't sure about it...
