Does anyone have a sollution for the problem above? I would like to get this lot out on the Stex.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Ok with the new BSC system I am going to need some help implimenting them.

 

Grampa Al you said that I could use a farm field that came with the game. I loaded LE loaded on of the fields and saved it. It saved it as a custom field. Now what do I do to this file to make a templet to make my farm fields. I have noticed that the BSC farm fields have two exemplars while the one I used that came with the game only has one. So Question is what is this second exemplar and what does it do and how do I add it.

hello folks,

 

I have finally found a way to do textures with out using datgen fishman will do it for you with the help of the reader. you will only need a 128x128 .png file.

 

I will explain here in a little while .....

 

After struggling with the new Datgen only to see it not work in any way shape or form reverted back to the reader with hopes I could do this. So I will write a small tutorial using the fishman and the reader to make your texture files.

Thanks Mary, please post more tutorials in the future. I really need to know how to do a lot of this stuff. Is making a dat file as easy as opening ILive and saying create a new dat and putting the files in it?

I'll get the rest of the tutorial later today. Got some catching up to do...

A series of IIDs should be requested from geoffhaw before making any textures as he keeps the Texture Index and if you are not careful you can overwrite or interfere with textures already made.

its real important when creating new base and overlay textures for distribution, that you keep in mind the BSC texture index

quote> Yes Barby is right. I have done this many times with my own textures. Be sure to ask what ranges are being used.

 

Thanks Barby

This is just my opinion but this type of modding should be left up to the professionals that know what they are doing and can make sure there won't be any conflicts.
