Okay so I know that Windows users get BAT, but how do Mac users make buildings? Like is there an application or what? I really wanna build something haha.

Mac users can't, simple as that...all apps for creating custom content are PC based, as well as the tools required are only available on the official site that Mac users cannot register for...so basically us Mac users are stuffed

We'll see about that.  Stay tuned!  If what I'm working on goes as planned, there's a nice little treat coming.

Any update on that treat?

well given enough determination and some scripting skill, it is perfectly doable. All you need 3d application to build your model - Maya fro instance and then script to slice resulting output image in 256x256 patches to be use to texture LODs. It isn't exactly nuclear physics. Unfortunately corwd around here seems more artistically directed, and generally not in favor of change and technical progress. Most problematic part (as I see it) is SC4Model file generation (or say algorithm of creating valid names). It may be a bit murky waters in terms of copyright...

Maxis is no more...it's there in name but it is a part of EA now and as such has to follow EA policies. EA does not develop for Mac.

So, what this treat Im hearing about?

[Zelgadis 638]

That was a long time ago. For the treat, check my sig. All the Maxis lots are there.
