I'd hate to jump from project to project. But i started another BAT. An easier project though, just some Brownstones . Located in Long Island City, I think some of you might recognize me referring to them, now that a month has passed since i started BAT'ing, I actually am going to attempt them

did you try to open from an autoback file?? look here

 

you will have something like this:

then to understand which of these is your file just see what size is your file, then from autoback files see if have one with the same size. then open gmax/bat and open : this file. hope it will work to you.

forgot to tell that your work looks very good so far. the only thing i think you sould do is to don't jump to another project before you finish the one you were doing, but if you don t have any problems with it, its ok.

well, there is nothing wrong with dropping off some projects. Particularly when one had realized that it is beyond skill level of the day. Staying with it at any cost would like just cause some grief. Hwever it is important to get through at least some of the projects

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

Well, my BAT wasn't in the autoback, i dunno why, but luckily i had saved something close to the model that was lost, so i started BAT'ing that. I am being a little bit more cautious now about saving, so i have 2 of the same files for all 3 of my BATS.

I love that row homes. Thos especially look very "chic" That's awsome!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great, you make me want to make some more tentment apartments.

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

I worked on it a little bit, still got a lot left to do, I'm also gonna release it as a pack when I'm done, these brownstones which are 39 & 41 45th Avenue, Along with 33 & 35 45th Avenue.

Hey! how are your projects going? They looked good last I saw. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you've done with the Interchem building and 1155.

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

My projects are fine, I'm almost done with 1155, just needs some texture tweaking and nightlights and it's finished, Interchem i'm kinda lost at, the windows and the roof of interchem are a little too advanced for my level so ill finish that some time later, as for these row homes, i finished one set and im just starting the second set then im releasing them as a pack, then starting another 2 sets or rowhomes on the same block as the other two, but im not as active because of real life issues such as family matters, friends, and of course school so it's kinda a *****

33 & 35 45th Avenue 39 & 41 45th Avenue

[Sgt Pepper 864]

I'm still here just busy trying to get used to doing school work. lol You can say most of us are probably busy since Summer is over.

About the Brownstones, very lovely. They are turning out better than the pack I made. But the white parts look a little too white, like on the roof for example. Perhaps toning that down a bit would help get rid of the shiney appearance of the white stone or concrete.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

GuerrilaWarfare- I'm still here as well, I visit this site like everyday. Why I'm not batting is because I don't know what to bat, and I want on something new. Should I bat some more Bronx buildings or what? I really want to some Upper Manhattan Apartments since I have never made any, just non-recreations, and also I want to make some apartments on Grand Concourse, Bronx.

Your model looks good I have to say, you are really doing good. I think that the side and the back of the wall should have a different wall texture. Like a stone concrete look and make it sort of dirty. Anyone let me know if you think I'm wrong on the changing of the wall textures on the side and the back of the brownstone. Because I'm not the best at textureing.

[PBGV103 729]

What's contrary to what i said?

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I think it's looking great, you've really done a good job. The night lights do the trick; they are neither too flashy nor too plain... simply adequate and authentic.

The only weak spot of this BAT is the roof, IMO. First of all, both roof halves are identical, and you can clearly see it. Moreover, the white parapet wall looks untextured and far too bright. If you manage to tone it down to the general brightness and colour of those decorative elements above the windows, it would top off the BAT (both literally and in figuratively speaking) perfectly.

At this point, you can also start thinking about the way you want to get this into game. Will you stick to a single 1x2 lot, or do you fancy making more variations, turn them into a prop family? If so, will you stick to 16m (2 houses), or are you going to switch to 8m model width (single house) in order to compose lots with 2 8m wide buildings? Another aspect worth considering is the setback from the street. Most people are likely to use your house(s) as an addition for similar, existing rowhouses. Needless to say, a street lined with those typical walkups looks best when their front walls line up as seamlessly as possible. You may want to have a look at SG's and Don Miguel's Brownstones as well as marcszar's W2W BATs to see if you can make your creations fit right in.

Anyway, if you continue at this quality level, we'll soon have another superb NYBT upload. Keep it up!

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

I'm having some stupid problems with my Gmax, I'm trying to give it a test export so i can see how it would fit with other BAT's like marczar's townhouses, what T Wrecks suggested, and when it's done exporting i look into my plug folder and it's not there ... ? Maybe i'm doing something wrong but i'm pretty sure that's what i did with my other models.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Is your plugins folder spelled right, and is there even a plugins folder in the Sim City 4 Folder in the Documents on your computer.

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

yes, i have a plugin folder on my computer in my sim city 4 folder, i've done a text export before successfully, but this time it's not working ?

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Are you sure you exported it? Or did you accidentally cancelled the export?

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

No, i exported it about 3 times on low quality and it's not showing up in my plug-in.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Have you tried reinstalling GMAX and that Bat tool, and another thing have you tried to reinstall the game? That could slove your problem. I tring to help you uot as muah as I can.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Hmm, maybe it didn't export into the plugins folder exactly...Have you checked any where in your "MyDocuments" or that SimCity 4 folder?

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

Soooo, I'v had a lot of real life issues, yada yada yada, and I haven't had the time to work on any my BAT's. So I started mildly working on 1133 6th avenue's roof, and there isn't to much going on so far, for the most part I'm only posting this to let you guys that not only am I alive (barely) but i'm still working on my NYBT buildings.
