Ocean Falls Scenario v1.0 Instructions To use this, you must have SimCity 2000 for DOS or for Windows. Created by Jeff Mears (mrcompu5@aol.com) About Ocean Falls ----------------- This is the first REAL scenario to my knowledge that has been created by a third party. Although I have seen "new" scenarios, they were just a edited version of existing scenarios. For example, I have seen a scenario that is just like Dullsville except a volcano appears when the scenario is loaded. Ocean Falls is probably much harder than the existing scenarios. I discovered what scenarios really are: regular cities with a scenario header concatenated at the end. In fact, if you load a scenario as a regular city, the scenario header will be ignored and the city will come up, but, of course, with no disaster or time limit. The regular city portion of a scenario is slightly different than a regular city. The name of the city is kept at the beginning of the file instead of the end. This really doesn't make a difference, but it prevents most cheat programs from working. Because of the fact that scenarios can be used as a regular city, you can use Ocean Falls as a regular city file. I couldn't create a picture for the description because I have not yet figured out how to retrieve the color palette for SimCity 2000. I did manage to figure out the format of the PICT section (one of the scenario headers - it is used for the picture next to the description) and that color 01 hex was black, so I just blanked the picture to black. Installation Instructions for use as a Scenario ----------------------------------------------- Installation is really easy. Just copy OCEANFAL.SCN to the SCENARIO subdirectory of your SimCity 2000 directory. Load SimCity 2000 and go to "Load Scenario." Scroll down until you see "Ocean Falls" with a black picture to the left. Click on it and select "Select Scenario." An extended description will appear. Click on it and the scenario will begin with the nuclear meltdown. The instructions for loading a scenario in SimCity 2000 for Windows might be different. If you have the Windows version, load it like you load any other scenario. Installation Instructions for use as a Regular City --------------------------------------------------- Installation is really easy. Copy OCEANFAL.SCN as OCEANFAL.SC2 to your SimCity 2000 directory. Load SimCity 2000 and load the city as you would load any other city. Scenario Objectives ------------------- 1. Put out the fires from the meltdown. 2. Rebuild the city to 32,000 people. 3. Leave the city with $10,000 minus bonds for the next mayor to use. You have 5 years to complete these objectives. This will prove to be VERY hard, especially goal #3. I created this city using a cheating program, so I didn't have to manage the city's finances very well. In fact, to this date, I have not been able to get past goal #3. The scenario's so hard even I can't beat it! How to Contact Me ----------------- For security reasons, I cannot reveal my home address. My internet e-mail address is mrcompu5@aol.com. If you are on America Online, my e-mail address is simply Mr Compu5. I can use uuencode to transfer files. I have VERY limited access to FTP, so MAYBE if you tell me the site and the path of a FTP file you want me to download, I might be able to download it. I currently have no ability to upload files to FTP. If you are on America Online, simply use Attach File in Compose Mail to transfer files. I'm still working on a usable version of my method of creating a scenario. Copying Restrictions -------------------- There are none! All I ask is that you keep my name in the scenario file and that you distribute it only a scenario version.
