Here's a little video I made of it

AWESOME! Another full size city for MM2 is the greatest news since a long time!

Thanks, SuperSecret!

Awesome Video and Mod C:

Are there any of the planes flying around?

No, MM2 couldn't support them. Side note: the airport (Meigs Field) has been demolished in 2003.

EDIT:

SuperSecret, I hereby award you the whoami MM2 Mod of The Year Award 2014. Awesome stuff it is.

Thank you!

Yeah, it's, not, Meigs Field, anymore, it's now, called, Northerly Island Park, and BTW, that area north, of, Navy Pier, isn't, a pier, it's, the, Water Purification/Filteration Plant,

Great map except it crashes 1/3 of the way for most players . any chance this can be fixed?
thx

Nope sorry, the 2 main issues (crashes and freezes) cannot be fixed.
The freezes are caused for some reason by the .bai file, but I can't figure out why, so I cannot fix it.
The crashes could be caused by the fact that I put all the props in the props.pathset file, making it too big. In stock MM2 cities the majority of the props pathsets are defined in the .psdl file, but I could not do the same for Chicago, since I had to split some roads in 2 to avoid bound problems, making it impossible to add PSDL pathsets to them.

Thanks anyway, I can finally enjoy chicago

Awesome!

Best city addon for MM2 ever Chicago is such a classic city. I wish someone would sort it out and make it a perfect conversion, without any problems. Still, great work!

[HummersRock]

So far I haven't been able to get this to work.

One of the causes of instability btw may be the fact that the game dislikes many of your bound files

Code: Select all

At some points also, the game spams out this:

Code: Select all

dgPhysManager::CollideProbe : instance has no bound

For example

Nice, thanks to your software it'll be useful to test and easily find these problems, I really wish you finish it and share with us.

SuperSecret was busy with his exams some time ago, but maybe now he has some free time to work arround these issues and come up with a more stable version.

[Michaelx1]

good but a little question why does the traffic won't drive in the alleyway they did in the 1st one

[KingAndy]

Because there are limitations on the software used to generate AI paths for custom MM2 tracks.

There's plenty of different things on this mod from the original map of MM Chicago, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending of your point of view - if it was too easy then it would be too boring as an hobby) modding isn't that straightforward, and even between these two similar titles from the same series and studio, there's plenty more to do than just copying and pasting files. For some reason it took more than a decade and one of the best programmers arround to convert Chicago, don't you think?

[Michaelx1]

yes I always liked them
