Yeah, I am sorry NDEX won't help you with the nightlighting on the VM Tower. I've seen them help others in the past, but now, the superciliousness of their BAT organization has become arrogant. In fact, your VM Tower is way better than any of their BATS.

However, I guess it's a good time to fiddle around with the nightlighting on a small tower, following the tutorials as was previously said. It would be good to know the skill for future releases anyways.

How are we arrogant? Just because we don't help every single person who needs it does not justify this. We have other things that need to be done(real life, etc.). Also, it should be noted that WE are NOT entitled or obligated to help anyone out. We are a private squadd, that does work in our free time. There is no time, in most cases, to go around, helping people out.

I actually complimented the guy on the model, and arrogant people do not compliment. But, if you had seen his post in our thread, then perhaps he could somewhat be considered pushy...

But, hey, once again, great looking towers, and I hope you don't take this personally.

Sorry Dusktrooper for being a bit Pushy, I didn't mean it, I;m just very excited in getting the VM Tower done

Anyway, I finally finished the windowframe (man that was boring). I started on the roofjunk as you can see here:

Dusktrooper, I know you're not arrogant, as you have tremendously enhanced the game with your amazing BATS. Don't let it bother you.  I guess the reason why I pronounced the remark is because the members weren't very helpful when replying to his thread within the NDEX board.

there's a tekst-tool in the menu were you can choose simple objects such as a box and cilinder.

nice work

[gerAndi 29]

the BAT looks great!

but I don't like the real-life building itself

[paulvmontfort 617]

no updates jet, just wanted to let you know that my time in France gave me time to design some new buildings. when i'm back home again next week, i'll post the drawings of them and you can expect new updates.

oh, yeah... Would you gus mind if i upload the VM Tower without lightning? then i can do the lightning later

I am certainly alright with that. I never really play the game with nightlighting anyways as it seems to degrade performance.

[paulvmontfort 617]

I'm back from France and Germany (went to Europa Park) So soon there will be updates and i've descided to upload VM Tower without lightning so you can expect it soon as

[paulvmontfort 617]

i have a problem: A render error 6.

I think it meanth a system overflow and that the program wasn't able to continue. So if anyone has a really good computer, would you please consider to render VM Tower for me???

 

Thanks

I heard that if you boot up WinXP without any XP services running, and closing down all non-essential programs that are running in the background, you will be able to pull it off.

Start>Run> type msconfig > Services Tab > Disable All.

Amazing! That glass texture looks like it came off the real life building! Can't wait for this puppy to release!
