Suplado: I plan to do some low rise buildings first before plunging myself to high rise buildings (and also transportation ).. But it will be added to my list..

Richard: Not only that.. There's Serendra, The Columns, etc.. deim.. I hope we could do those.. well, maybe in the future..

I'm adding a beach resort(maybe dakak or the infamous beach resort, dos palmas) on my list of projects. well, for now, I'm taking a quick break from batting after my current project. I just need to attend some of my other commitments. One of it is cleaning up my messy pc.. I just finished moving a thousand *sob* of Simcity 4 zip files into its respective folders. Next one is cleaning up the plugins folder (which has almost 2,000 files and occupies around 2.5gig to 3 gig of my pc space.. *sob* *sob* )

^^richard24! I agree they would be an awesome BAT!

Jeepney!!! would be an interesting automata... So it would be cool to remake it

[gt6282 3]

Davirus: The jeepney automata is I think part of the list.. I'm hoping that we could make it as a replacement for the default buses or as addition to the buses. Mikeseith is I think the master in car automata but I think he haven't shared his/her secrets on it..

Updates! Updates!

I just finished batting my second project. It is now called "Cityplace-Binondo".. It will on a 2x2 lot with at least 80-100 job openings. Hopefully, I could make a ploppable version of it and perhaps transit enabled.. Target date of upload will be this coming week. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday.. Hopefully.. Anyway, here it is..

Commentos?

Very nice work! I'm taking a bit of a break myself but hopefully I'll have time next week to finish something!

[Filasimo 1]

thats really good pare cant wait to see its final design!

[infinitum19 0]

wow nice. ang galing galing talaga. I have hard time doing BATs.... maybe because Im still learning. Maybe I can help with the LE. hehe. Next time pare do the malls. Kahit SM cubao, alimall or gateway. How about a building for the National Bookstore? cool un

[IGGYMAN 101 1]

Oh man, Don't worry about SM Mall of Asia.

I need to get a shirt that says "I survived balut!". lol

Great little section you have here. Cool idea, though I doubt Simcity can accurately capture the helter skelter building style of the Philippines. I'd love to build a city like that though.

[DaViru- 2]

Ah yeaa the jeepney would really give my city that Manila look along with gridlocks... pinoy architecture etc. Great job on the BAT a definite download for me!

COMMENTO CORNER

jpops: thanks.. Continuous batting is really draining. Really need to recharge a bit. oh btw, I'm planning to have a ploppable version of it and I don't have any idea how to do it. Maybe, you could give me some pointers on how to it..

filasimo: well, the BAT design is final. I just need to put it in a 2x2 lot..

infinitum: Actually, There is a National bookstore in that building. It is located at the first floor.. right beside it is the Blugre Cafe (For those who don't know. It is a coffee shop in Davao City. Their trademark: Durian Coffee.. )

iggyman: you're batting the SM MOA? hmmm....

davirus: Thanks. I'm still figuring out how will you make that automata thingie.. Hopefully, there will be a breakthrough or something. wish me luck. hehe

*is a (former...kind of) Pinoy BATter himself*quote>

That explains your previous Rizal avatar.

If I can get my BATting knowledge up maybe I could tackle the automata (It would be nice to see jeepneys, LRT, and stuff like that).

God speed to your projects. I hope you get to the nice Makati buildings.

I don't like balut. Penoy lang hehe 

[gt6282 3]

Deevar: Thanks bro! The group is growing.. The makati buildings are part of my list.

[jacqulina 162]

very nice work

[jpops 1]

gt, to make building ploppable, just read and follow simgoober's excellent tutorial "Making a functional landmark lot" it's located in the omnibus section of this site. It's a fairly easy process, at least in comparison to modeling. As far a number of jobs, I use the formula of 10 per tile multiplied by the number of floors in the building. So 2X2 3 story-lot would have around 120 jobs. I then add or subtract from that numbr as I feel is necessary. Excellent work!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

As for job numbers, nothing beats test-plopping an export the building next to some similarly sized Maxis buildings of the same class.

The modeling job is superb, and the night lights are truly amazing, congratulations! You did a mighty fine job there.

The only point I'm not entirely sure about is the texturing on the walls. All that white might end up looking a tad too bright. Have you thought about adding a slight gradient?

The roof texture, too, looks good - but it could look even better. As always, I find myself recommending 6459978's "Toronto BATs" thread on page 12. You will find an awesome texturing tutorial there.

The best of luck and good progress with your further BAT (ad)ventures - it's certainly great to see some buildings from your corner of the world as well!

[gt6282 3]

jacqulina: thanks..

jpops: Thanks. I already visited that thread. Wohoo! Ploppable buildings! lol.. I just uploaded the final version of Cityplace-Binondo. It has a job count of 100 jobs. I guess that's realistic enough or something. Anyway, Thanks for the formula. It will be very helpful.

T Wrecks: thanks bro.. I just added a few more junks on the roof because I feel there's too much empty space on it.. and the white walls, I made some adjustments on it just before exporting it so I think it won't be too bright or something and the some of its details will show up a bit.. Thanks for the comment. I truly appreciate it.. and I'll definitely visit his/her thread.

Guys, I just uploaded my 2nd BAT Project. Here is some ingame pics of it:

DOWNLOAD HERE

[skyliner22 16]

Wow thats awesome, these Pinoy BATs can come of great use to my CJ as it is in a tropical Asian region. Hmm i wonder if u can BAT some stilt houses or some thatched roof huts? Would be a great addition to the STEX! Oh and if u take a look at the airport thread, PAL has been textured and set to come out on the STEX in a few weeks!

[Filasimo 1]

awesome work pare!!! what well need in addition to make a unique filipino city are ploppable bamboo trees and banana trees hehe

[jacqulina 162]

wow looks great ingame

[MercedesReno 0]

Why don't you bat larger lots? like rizal park? the MRT LRT Stations for The Elevated rails? Skyscrapers in Makati and Ortigas? Malls?

THE SM Mall Of Asia? Universities? City Halls? etc.? please create it if possible...

Not just some tiny unpopular buildings...

[suplado! 23]

where can i get gmax for free? i would also like to try and learn to bat...hehe!!

[Filasimo 1]

mercedes: keep in mind that this is his 2nd BAT and among a list of BATs he will make. if you would like to contribute to the community and create some, pick up some BATting tutorials and learn how to BAT so we can have a wider variety of Filipino BATs. In due time will there be more but knowing GT is only one person it will take time so you will have to wait.

[pilotdaryl 25]

More airplanes here and here

[waway625 72]

is it available for download yet? as i plan on using it and a couple of malaysia airlines and cathay pacific and singapore airlines

[SODATWIN 7]

you should re-create the shangri-la resort in cebu

[gt6282 3]

MercedesReno,Sodatwin: hwooow! Hold your horses bros.. This is just my second BAT.. We will get there in due time.

suplado: you could get it at turbosquid.com.. BAT tutorials are available at omnibus section and also at SC4devotion.. Anyway, we(well at least for me some basics. hehe) are here to help you guys in starting batting.

PilotDaryl: That is awesome! Really really awesome! Btw, thanks for the plane template you gave me..

jacqulina: Thanks!

Filasimo: Thanks also. About the Banana Trees, I think Goldiva has one. I think it is included in his Beach Tree pack or something. I will try to work on the bamboo since I think it will be simple to do..

I just edited the opening post of this thread and added the Cityplace and PilotDaryl's PAL 777-300.

BTW, what the heck happened to this site yesterday? I can't access it yesterday. It is just one blank page.. Terrorist attack or something?

[infinitum19 0]

There is already bamboo tree available. I think it is included in the Jeronjj latest tree pack

[gt6282 3]

^Jeronij made one? I haven't seen it but I saw this file at STEX.

[Filasimo 1]

hmm i saw that link pare but it look so so....as for the banana trees i forgot that its already out hehe...i think what i meant are mango trees hehehehe but as for the bamboo trees thats only ploppable id rather be able to do it per mayor mode or god mode
