About This File

Warning: This is not one for the feint hearted or for those who do not have a certain amount of experience with the Lot Editor.

 

For a long time now I have been BATting buildings that have recurring forms, patterns or sections within them as a series of sections that I subsequently click together to make the full building. It was with this in mind that I then thought "hey, maybe I could do much the same thing with props". This is the result.

 

This set consists of 67 props, an SC4Model file and a test lot so you can see that the things actually work. There is a full readme and tutorial included as the executable readme included in the download. This is a complied HTML file and has been virus scanned. Please make sure that you read this file in it's entirety before you use the props as it explains how they are to be positioned, and how to use the SC4Model file.

 

It would be interesting to see your creations with this pack, so please feel free to post pictures in the BLaM MB01 Support Thread which you can find on SimTropolis and SimCities (ST: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=154&threadid=82307&enterthread=y SC: http://simcities.com/forum/index.php?topic=695)

 

As this pack is a series of props please do not include any of the props with any creations you decide to release, but instead please point to this file as a dependency. Many thanks.

 

Finally, I personally hope that this download will give those of you who cannot get to grips with the BAT, or simply don't want to make your own BATs the opportunity to make unique buildings for your game.

 

Please note that the pictures above show the test Lot included in the pack.

 

To instal

BLaM recommends the making of a folder named BLaM within your plugins folder. The contents of the folder contained within the download zip archive may then be dragged directly to that folder.

 

Credits

Thanks to KT3, Lou and other BLaM members for testing this, to BLaM as a whole for their input and support, and my sons for pointing out things I could have made better.

I think this is a step backwards... back to SC3 style custom content. While it will make modelling "easy", it also makes it very easy to do a sloppy job. And there's enough slop on the exchange already, I'm afraid. My main concerns are the fact that shadows won't render properly, and the strange LOD effects that can occur. Now if you took these modular buildings and rendered several variations in the BAT, that's something I might go for...

@6459978: I can understand what you mean, and yes these can be a little awkward to use, but I did say it's not for those without some skill with the Lot Editor. If you want to PM me with some ideas for buildings you would like as individual BATs I will see what I can come up with. @everyone else: thanks for your enthusiasm and great comments!
