About This File

The time has come.

In the works for nearly a year and subject to a great deal of interest, my latest creation has finally seen the light of day on Simtropolis. They were previously released on SC4D's LEX, but I had decided to bring them over to  the STEX as a little Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus surprise! These gas stations are my answer; my fulfillment of the need for up-to-date service center BATs. After searching through the community's various SimCity exchanges, I was surprised to see a location as prolific as the gas station had been severely neglected. Included in this package are seven gas station lots, found in various states of disrepair, akin to the real-life examples that inspired this project. 

Of the seven lots, six are standalone 3x2 lots. One additional set of pumps is included on a 3x1 lot; perfect for placing beside a large mall or big-box store. Each lot may be found in the power menu under orange gas pump icons. If you wish to create more lots, the props are easy accessible in lot editor under the "bipin_" or "bipinprops_" prefixes. Additionally, a .png for the lot icon is included, to better help organize your own stations.

Thank you for looking. I hope you enjoy these BATs; it has been quite a while since I've participated in the community, specifically over here at ST, beyond just using the chatroom. I'm glad to be back (although university is keeping me busy).

Note: 1 dependency is required (SHK Parking Pack). It has been added as a linked file.

Dependencies (added 22.12.2018):

Transparent Power Utilities (The building examplars are based on the power blank model in this upload. You need that model to avoid brown boxes)
SHK Parking Pack
Paeng's Parks Revisited 2.05 
(you only need the Resource_Parks205.dat)
Paeng's Grunge Concrete Set (you only need the paeng_Grunge_Concrete_Textures.dat)

edit: 22.12.2018 updated dependency links by Tyberius06

UPDATE: 17.07.2019 by Tyberius

There were two missing files which I was aware of when I previously updated the page, but since both the model and the prop file were missing no brown boxes would have showed up on the lots, so there was no point to mention it. Since then @Bipin sent me the missing files (by request) and gave me his permission to reupload a second version of the whole pack which contains the missing files. I also modified the folder structure to make it similiar to his previous uploads, therefore to install these lots, you just need to copy the BATs By Bipin folder from the zip to your plugin folder

Released

From the original release there were one model and prop files missing, which I discovered while I was organizing @Bipin's contents on my SC4 back up HDD. Since both the prop and model were missing it didn't show up as brown box, but if you checked it via PIM-X you could have seen the missing parts on the lot. These files were the bipinprops_medianRight-0x5ad0e817_0xc224647d_0x30000.SC4Model and bipinprops_medianRight-0x6534284a-0xdc134176-0xbf953e2d.SC4Desc. After I requested, Bipin was so kind and provided the missing files to me, also gave me permission to reupload the files again. Of course I also uplifted a bit the folder structure due to continuance, since the original upload was a bit different. Also I put here as an attachment the missing files.
For new downloaders I would recommend to download only the *.zip file, but if you already have the originals from the original upload you might not need to download just the attached model and desc file.

Excellent work! :thumb:

Really like the rustic / grunge look -- a nice change from modern stations. These details really add character to a city environment.

I'm glad to hear you all like these stations, and especially that you've been waiting for them for a while. I always strive to make something that is in demand, or something no one else has, so it's nice to hear that I've hit the bullseye with this one!
