- Ocean Falls Scenario v1.0 Instructions
- To use this, you must have SimCity 2000 for DOS or for Windows.

- 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!

- 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.

- 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.
