Joergs BAT Showcase

[Smurfer2 7]

I think the dome needs a different color. Maybe the blue you used. As for the rest of the building, it looks like a hospital. I like the idea of using the medical symbol, but I don't know where it would look good on the building.

[Lord_Quillian2 38]

That looks loads better. I agree wiht Smurfer2 that the towers should be a bit greater in diamiter. I think that's what makes it look un-hospital like. It just seems to tall and thin. It is improving with every render, and I think you seem to know what you want, and what you are doing.

 

Looking good mate.

I think in the interests of efficient use of space, especially if it's a hospital, the building needs something joining the two towers... either a thin rectangular block which goes up severa stories and has a facade which matches the towers, or if that seems too obtrusive a high level enclosed bridge between the towers.

I like the new colour scheme but bearing in mind that the renderer often renders several shades lighter you might end up with the building looking too bright in the game.

Joerg, I downloaded your high school, and though I like it a lot, I'm getting a weird black band around it.  Have you seen this?

 

[joerg 280]

Ok this is wierd your the second person with this problem now. So i need to know has anyone else seen it check all zoom levels and rotate it a few times for good measure i cant seem to duplicate the problem in my own game. So im guessing its a graphics card issue due to my using a custom lod. Simgoober could you check software rendering instead of hardware to see if that gets rid of it?

[SimGoober 2,351]

I'll try that;  This happens at all zooms / angles, though there are differences.  Some of each only show on certain sides.

[wild_horse_in_the_sky 2]

Joerg,

To answer your question yes here are four different zooms of Madison high

Regarding the hospital, I definitely agree with EnigmaticUK--perhaps connecting floors (even just slender hallways) up to where the lower tower's turquoise cap begins would look much more efficient.

Otherwise it's going to take a long time to get that cardiac patient who suddenly needs dialysis to where he needs to be.

[Sneezy 2]

Hi Joerg, I have the same problem as SimGoober. In my case sooms 4,5 and 6 show the black 'outline'. Zoom 3 appears OK. Either zoom 1 or 2 will appear OK but the other shows a totally black base to the lot.

I normally run an nvidia FX5900 but also tried an ATI 9700Pro - both give the same results. Hardware/software rendering didn't make any difference either. I even removed all other downloaded lots and mods but it made no difference. Let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help sort out the problem.

[joerg 280]

Is there anyone not gettign this problem. If im the only one that its acctually working for then im going to have to assume that something went wrong when merging files.

[Yugioh 3]

now this looks great

[joerg 280]

Ok problem is now fixed i downloaded the one off of the exchange and got the same error you guys got. Then i put my original back in and problem gone so i am now uploading the original again im guessing that the files were some how damaged when merged to one dat or pehaps there is an exemplar that is a copy of another one.

[hogmeister 7]

Thanks for fixing the problem

[joerg 280]

Well i have started a mall. I sat down and spent an hour or so on it before easter today. So here is what i have so far.

I was kind of hoping some of you guys could help me in creating signs such as sears pennies kohls dillards and perhaps a custom sign for the mall itself. I would do these on my own but each sign would cut alot into the acctuall time i can work on the building.

[hogmeister 7]

I like the nice rounded shape of the anchor stores, has great potential, as for the signs i know that hillbillytycoon has done some great looking custom signs for his lots like lowes, krispykream and bobevans.

[RobledoRessainance 36]

Ok, this is my first attempt at custom signs:

Since I don't know the name of your mall, I just wrote The Joerg Palace - Shop & Eat.

[+Guest]

IMO you should reduce the number of anchor stores to 2 or 3, unless you drastically increase the size of the mall (make it like 3 storys or something).

[joerg 280]

Acctually the main mall structure is 2 floors while most of the anchor stores are 3 floors and 2 are 4 floors. Also i dont want to make it to big becuase as of right now im guessing the size of the mall will be about 12x20 maybe bigger so i dont want to go to crazy with it.

 

Right now for signs im looking for JC Pennies, Sears, Dillards, Simcity Cafe(similar to hard rock or something), and Kohls.

 

As for the sign for the mall itself im think something like SimCity Square or something along those lines just something tradiotional and mall like that will make sense for most any city it is placed in.

 

Also pictures of mall entrances and stuff are welcomed thats for sure i need all the stuff i can get. Its going to be atleast a weeks time before i can even go into gmax. Which is another reason i need to have someone else do signs im modeling in autocad and unforunetly its not very good with free forms stuff and letters and such. Also i might need a custom mall sign with like a diagram on it. But for the most part anyone who wants to help you are welcome to so post any suggestions or requests here. And ofcourse anyone who helps will get credited.

[RobledoRessainance 36]

Even though this is a very different mall, I think a fountain would be a nice addition.

And now this is a similar mall where you could get ideas.

[DuskTrooper 314]

Here is a now defunct mall and its parts I did when the BAT first came out.  You can get some ideas from it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[joerg 280]

Heres a small update this is probably all i will get done today. Im still trying to get the basic style layed in. Also the texturing on this thing is what will bring it to life so it will look kind of blah now but dont worry.

[joerg 280]

Last update for tonight

[SimGoober 2,351]

How's this coming along Joerg?  I love suburban stuff...

[Smurfer2 7]

That mall is quite amazing. It's size is breathtaking. So far, so good. Just take your time.

[MTLT_17 26]

Hey Hillbilly! Could you get back to Joerg on those signs so we can get the mall project coming along!

[cat person 2]

Or if Hillbilly is real busy at the present time maybe Oldfart can help with a sign or two, he did a excellent job on that sign for his Arby's.

I too am awaiting the first realistic mall released from the bat.
Bring this sweet mall on.
