Some advice to new BATers.

[Psycho_Teddy 25]

I have been searching around the STEX lately to find that a lot of people are new to the BAT and uploading the first thing that looks like a box with holes in it.  Mind you, these buildings are great practice, and really help to develop your skills with the BAT, however, no one in ST wants a plain jane cube with some holes cut in it, plain and simple.  This is not intended to make you seem like a bad BATter, it is intended to make you think before you upload.  Please, take some time to develop your skills with the BAT before you upload.  This will make ST a much more vivid collection of SC4 custom content, rather than an "anything goes" upload site.  Many of the great and epic buildings that you see here on the STEX have taken months to develop, and often years of practice.  Rome was not built in a day, and neither was the IJL Center by the NDEX team!

If you need help with the BAT, there are some great threads here at ST that can provide you with all of the information that you will need to become a successful BATter.  If you can't find what you need there, search the forums. And, if you still can't find what you need, make a thread and ask a question!   But by all means, DO NOT upload a BAT file just to obtain help with it! Thank you guys!
