Hi I really love to be bombarded by loads of news however my game crashed with it so may it be debugged and maintained still for the long time future?

DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD

You mentioned spam, are you talking about the chirper or FGRWorks below who had a month long convo with themselves?

This spams way to often. Please give us an option to how many or few we can have.

Finally I got rid of this mod - somehow by a stroke of luck. For reasons I didn't know the mod one day stopped pushing messages (as I said below, the mod can push messages even after being disabled in Content Manager), so I cleared all the messages (pushed by the game), saved the game, uninstalled this mod, and I successfully reload my save without it.

I really don't know what happened. Perhaps I uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times. Perhaps I installed new mods like Tree Fire Control, No Building Fire. I don't guarantee anything.

TO EVERYONE SEEING THIS MOD - Simply:
1. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE it.
2. Subscribe it if you need it to open a savegame (e.g. a save from workshop "infected" by this mod) but DO NOT ENABLE it in Content Manager (check Content Manager before opening the save!)

I suggest two quick solutions to this problem:
1. add an option in the 'Option' menu for the player to turn off the mod
2. adjust the frequency of the pushing of messages, either make it longer (e.g. one message every 2 or 5 min) or, if you like, add an option in the 'Option menu' for the player to adjust the frequency.
Both solutions aim to create a window where a player can truly clear all pushed messages and save, and then load the save again with the mod uninstalled without causing error

You know what? Even after I disabled the mod in Content Manager, I can still see messages pushed by this mod every time I load a save. Perhaps this is the very reason I can't get rid of it without breaking my safe!

A problem with this mod is that it has way too many messages and they are pushed up too frequently. In my experience, even if I cleared all the messages and immediately saved the game, I still could not open my savegame without this mod installed. Looks like once you have cleared all the messages you just don't have enough time to save a game without new messages pushed by this mod.

Just consider this mod as a kind of virus - once you have contracted it, you won't be able to get rid of it. If you open a new game of a savegame with this mod ON (by content manager), your savegame will be "infected", and you will never be able to uninstall this mod without breaking your savegame. So, the solution is keep it but without activating it (making it ON in content manager), so as to save your savegames which has been "infected" while preventing the mod from "infecting" you other new games or savegames not previously "infected"

FORTUNATELY, if you just install this mod but without activating it in Content Manager, it will not affect your new games or existing savegames. In other words, DON'T open new games or your existing saves with this mod ON.

Could anyone who successfully uninstalled this mod and is still able to use their savegame share with use how he did it? Much appreciated!~

Dear Author please tell me EXACTLY how I can uninstall this mod without breaking my savegame. I followed your instructions: I disabled the mod and played the game for a while to ensure that no chirp message pops up. Yet, when I uninstall this mod, my save is inaccessible again!

This mod spams messages every few seconds after a while. Not sure if it's a bug, but it was fine at first, then it started rapid-firing messages non-stop every 5 seconds. Disabled until fixed.

does it still work?

Thank you

yes

Before I subscibe the humor is clean, right?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=409924305 doesnt work

would you please make an Dutch version for this :D <3 its very awsome!

I remember the good ol SC3k days!

This mod is garbage. Not only I recieved news every SEVEN seconds but erasing all news from this mod and unsubscribing then didn't help me from getting locked out of my city. But I gladly pay with one of my cities to get rid of that piece of crap.

Some mod or asset asked me to subscribe to this, and the French version, so I did, not having any idea it's a save game breaker. If you know who is setting up this mod as a must for their asset or mod, you should ask them to remove them from the list!

Great little mod. I must have played SC3k 1000 hours back in the day.

Yes. YES. YES!!!!!

Thanks

@Keg : it still works with 1.6, don't worry :)

Is this comptible with 1.6? If not I'm fucked.

Is there a way to reduce the frequence of the news?

Just loaded up game. Ticker still giving me sc3000 laughs.Though i dont have either expansion.

Can anyone confirm this mod is still working?

Is there an Update for Snowfall coming???

where are the llamas news nowdays , miss those news. my main and best source of llamas news ever.

This mod is great! Now Chirper informs me about things more interesting and important than extended vacations and politically correct tweets. Also, if you can, consider using Simcity 2000's newspaper stories as inspiration for even more ticker material. Also perhaps some of this brilliant parody advice dialog:

Hehe awesome! :D

@LordDeimosIV : I'll have a look at it... cross that, I'll make it. Stay tuned for LOTS of llamas spottings this time.

Question: would it be possible to intergrate the ones from Simcity 4? Or would that be too time consuming? Or is it possible for me to add those on my own?

I can confirm the options menu works as well so i guess the mod works. Also i love your mod, it makes me chuckle so much! Much better than 90% of the games chirps. The nostalgia of playing sc3k on my stepdads windows 98/pentim III or was it a pentium II?, good times!

@LordDeimosIV : It works ??? Wow I didn't even try it because of the comments that said it was broken. I might give it a try then. Thanks for the info

@tony_r_68 Thanks for the reply. I dowloaded the mod and it's working. What exactly is wrong with it? I get the regular chirper tweets and the sc3k news ticker as well. I haven't tried resizing the window or adjusting the speed. But it seems to me like it's working or am i missing something?

@LordDeimosIV : there is already a mod that makes the texts from chirper act like the ticker from sc3000, it's called chirpy banner (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406623071 ). Alas at the moment it's not working (it relies on another mod that's not compatible with the 1.1 version of the game)... Let's hope it'll get fixed soon.

I would personally love the news ticker from SC3000 instead of the popup messages by chirper. It was so much easier to read stuff, click the blue text for postive feedback and the red text for things that need to be fixed asap. Would something like that even be possible in CSL?

@eugenio : I think some people have already requested a for for a mini-map... maybe someday.

btw would look great C:SL with an hud like that

now i feel dumb... :(

@eugenio : In Simcity3000 only. The pic is a mix of SC3000 and C:SL

is a mini map really included?

Excellent!!!!!!!!

@Kimchi : Same Llama references as in the original (I don't want to spoil anything ;) )

Llama sightings included?
