Any plans on condensing the AmA?

[KR153]

First of all, thanks a bunch to you making this possible and taking the extra time. I guess you were a little overrun by the sheer mass as well. And here´s the problem: The way it turned out the AmA became victim of its own success. Since I posted in the first minutes of the AmA I can´t even find my questions. Scrolling down more than 1500 posts just takes for ever.
So: Do you select certain points and add them to the wiki or some other way? Getting any specific information from that is like taking a sip from a fire hydrant.

Nope nope nope... just checked again and it took me 30 min to find something of actual value. I´m pretty sure you didn´t answer any of my questions, I found only two of my points adressed by others (kinda).. and yet you found the time to answer "gems" like "What is modding?" Really? hmy:
Are you guys still working on that?

Indeed, the AMA was quite overwhelming! I'm hoping TotalyMoo will be able to collect some questions and answers and post them here for us to read. The wiki is still WIP so more info will come there as well. Also if you still remember your question and didn't get an answer, please don't hesitate to ask it over here

Right, I want to know that that cave was where some of the interviews were!

 

[KR153]

Yeah, it felt pretty much like this:

The two points I found elsewhere:
-Exporting models from the game: Not at release, not planned, but you wouldn´t oppose if somebody would make one.
-No modding of streets for now. I guess we would need that exporter for that. Does the same go for the pavements around the buildings?

Other things still unclear to me:
- Will we be able to change policies and what zonings include?
- Can we change the reflection box?
- Can we change/adjust the colour "themes"?
- Can we change the collision box of buildings and objects?
- Is there any support for the use of "sprite tiles" or another form of animation?
- Can the game speeed be changed? Everybody is running around like in the Benny Hill Show...
- Can we add sounds?

 

[KR153]

Okay, I didn´t hesitate...
Oh, and was the texture sizes mentioned anywhere?

I´m pretty sure you didn´t answer any of my questions,

Use http://www.reddit.com/user/YOURUSERNAME/comments/ to see yourcomments. Log in an go http://www.reddit.com/message/inbox/ for any replies to your comments.
But basically you only need the first link and use context etc. buttons there.

Yeah, thanks, I did that. No answer here nor there.... great!
Are my words not right? Are my questions too stupid to even bother? Can I expect an answer in any timeframe or is that AMA more or less abandoned?

The objective in an AMA is normally to answer as many questions as possible. It's not possible to answer all the questions (I think there were 1800 posts made or something like that).

I don't think the AMA is updated anymore. You're probably better off reposting the question here on the forum.

 

[KR153]

Of course it is not possible to answer all questions when there are more than 1600 posts. I would have wished they would concentrate more on modding, because the title was something about.... oh, yeah: "Developer AMA Feb 25th - main topic is modding"
Many cases of "never heared of google" and stuff.

Indeed in the AMA many questions were left unanswered. CO dev team rarely checks Reddit unless there's something organized like the AMA as we fully focus on this forum (we just too small of a team to handle many different places so we put all of our available efforts here). I know it's not much as we are very busy working on the game so I thank you for your patience. I also appreciate polite formulation of the messages and questions written to us as I believe there should to be certain level of respect between human beings.

The two points I found elsewhere:
-Exporting models from the game: Not at release, not planned, but you wouldn´t oppose if somebody would make one.

This is up to our publisher Paradox.

-No modding of streets for now. I guess we would need that exporter for that. Does the same go for the pavements around the buildings?

Pavement around the building comes with the building model. Streets we'll be looking into after the release.

Other things still unclear to me:
- Will we be able to change policies and what zonings include?

These are in no way related. Policies no. What do you mean with what is included in the zoning? New functionality no, new models yes.

- Can we change the reflection box?

This is not supported nor documented.

- Can we change/adjust the colour "themes"?

Yes.

- Can we change the collision box of buildings and objects?

No, but you can control the surface of the buildings to certain degree.

- Is there any support for the use of "sprite tiles" or another form of animation?

We don't have any 2D animations in the game.

- Can the game speeed be changed? Everybody is running around like in the Benny Hill Show...
- Can we add sounds?

Not at launch.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time. At least I can stop to get on your nerves now. I am pretty sure I will skip this, I was so hoping this game could offer some new features when I make buildings. Unfortunately everything I missed for my buildings in CXL I won´t see in CSL as well.
Live long and prosper!

I did have a question about the textures on the roads that no one brought up. How easy or hard would it be to change the textures of the roads in game? To say, make double striped lines like in the US, or texturing the asphalt in front of the bus stops to say BUS?
