Lot Editor Intersections

[fundevin 2]

Hello,

I am just starting on my first lot and I finished the building and all but then I hit a tree in lot editor... I can't seem to find any intersections as overlay textures/props.

What I mean is that I need something here:

Btw thats not the building... XD Cause that would be cheating wouldn't it?

If someone could point out a prop pack or something that would be great.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi fundevin,

Unfortunately SC4 doesn't come with such textures, so you will have to make your own.

First you will need to download the SC4tool, which you will also need in order to Transit Enable your lot later on. You can download it from here. If you're running Vista or 7 you will need to go to compatibility settings after you have installed it (right click -> Properties -> Compatibility) and tick "Disable Desktop Composition", otherwise it won't run correctly.

Click on texture creator and create a new .dat file by clicking on the star icon (note that the dialog button incorrectly says "open" rather than "save"), and using a unique name save it in your plugins folder. Now click on the create new texture button, and "next free ID". (If you need to create more textures later on you may need to change this). Leave the standard texture button checked, and now under the Bitmaps section click on the folder icon next to the 128px field, and add the texture file I have attached below (courtesy of the NAM cosmetic mod), and then click on the camera button, which will create all of the sizes required by the game. Do exactly the same for the Alphas section, except this time use the black and white texture below. Now click on OK and then on the save icon, and you have just created your first texture .

I hope this helps you get started, there is a lot more information avalible both here and at SC4 Devotion if you need it.

Best,

-Matt
