SimHavoc Multi-Mega Mall : Retail Space for Lease!!!

[Morhavoc 166]

OMFG the worst possible thing has happened, when i try to open the mall file, i get 'file failed to open'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have no backup copy of it either i hope this is just a phase and lets me open it sometime.

 

Ive just finished the sign as well damit.:

 

[Morhavoc 166]

This is REALLY annoying, i may have to start from scratch, ive had this happen before where gmax suddenly corrupts files for no reason.  It just won't open  Looks like this may not be finished anytime soon if i have to restart.

Oooooooooohhhhhh, bummer. I don't think it's a phase. That's not good, I know how it feels. What I do is save as a different file every so often, example: havocmall1, havocmall2, havocmall3 etc.  I hope you can get it to work.

I agree, I hope you get it to work too. I wish best of luck to get your file working!

You should know better than anyone else, about the use of ALL CAPS & excessive punctuation marks.

 

Wait!!! Look at the GMAX or BAT backup folders!!!

[lambsquirter 4]

this is a pity. I wonder why it would have done that to you. Your malls look good so far mate

ARGGG TECHNOLOGY THESE DAYS...
Well, its extremely sad to hear this news. Nothing worse than hard, beautiful work down the drain.

[M-SIL 2]

Yeah, blame the chinese for making computers!! Slave labor could only go so far!

I hope DT is right...The mall was looking very good, especially Type X Racing. It would be a shame if you had to start the work all over again. You do good work though

[Casper3141 60]

damn thats a shame...and if you do have to start over will there be more room for additonal shops from ST members....???

[dev 47]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It was looking so great.....

 

....if you have to restart will DEV-MART be included??

 

I loved it!

 

And really love how you made it at the top of the sign.

 

I hope it works out oKay for you.

 

GOOD LUCK HAVOC!

There is no need to shout dude.

I will have to start again, but this time i can make sure i have backups, and also try to reduce the amount of objects and poly's in the model.

[Morhavoc 166]

Ok, ive started it again, this is it so far:

I've decided to pull Havoc & associates out of the front for more space for public shops. Type-X and dev mart get large lots and blackbeards gold emporium and the vets will go in the next space. I don't know if i will add the spherical sky domes this time, do you think i should?

Hmm... I think it wouldn't look as good without them.

That really sucks that you lost the file. (I almost cried...)

 

Edit: OMG, another Havoc-related personal record!

It's my HUNDRETH POST! Yayyy!!!

Looks great! You should put in Havoc Construction. It would give it a personal touch.

[Morhavoc 166]

Havoc Construction already have offices based at: https://www.simtropolis.com/lots/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=BAT&Str=HAVOC%20CONSTRUCTION%20HEADQUARTERS

 

and also may be moving to this building currently being rendered: https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=50539&pageNo=1

 

 

Do you think the shops currently built are a bit too large? That preview is in zoom 4 and currently the mall is rather large standing at 200m wide, which if im correct will span to 13 squares wide! hmmm i may rescale near finishing. But i want to get this one right.

 

[AfroThunda 1]

Oh man! Sorry to hear about the file being lost; its alright I am sure your second version will be much better! Good luck.

I managed to import a couple of .3ds cars into the scene and now type-x racing stocks the highest quality automobiles:

 

There may also be a showcar outside, i think nightlighting will look pretty cool in this shop in the end.

This is awesome work. Looking forward to it's release. Love the design of the mall and the attention to detail is just amazing. Keep up the great work.

Sorry to hear you lost the file but everything happens for a reason.Good thing I didn't take out that full page ad in the local paper.This will give Blackbeards Gold Emporium more time to increase our selection.Goodluck

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

Do you have any recent or updated shots?

[niceguy 0]

great!

 

[7thAngel 2]

Looks cool so far. For realism maybe you should add some anchor stores like a JC Penny or Macy's, Dillards, Sears or some other department stores. Just a thought since it is a mega mall.

[SkyTearer 10]

Wow! Looks amazing. Sorry to hear that you lost the first one. Any more stores available?

[simwario 95]

This is a very nice project. Hope you get it through now, without any losses.

sorry i posted twice on accident...my internet froze and i hit submit then back then submit again.

I'm having a problem at the moment with objects snapping whilst moving. When you try to move objects, they will only move certain distances, but in this case can only be moved in two places, i'm sure some of you know what i mean. It's weird i don't know what causes this, but it's really annoying, i had that problem on a larger building.
