Have been trying to build a blacksmith mod for banished, started off with a model from turbosquid .... see here for a picture of it

https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/762782-creating-mods-in-banished/

But I'm not a 3d modeller so eventually give up trying to use it for a blacksmith mod (called it a wheelwright), and borrowed a mushroom from kid1293, so far I've got all the menus sorted, including creating my own menu button

But its refusing to make tools, the actual mod program is made of the following folders

and has 240 files in it, most of which have been created in the Bin and Build folders which is generated every time you run a build.bat

I think the issue is in this part of the code

OTTD Nostalgic gameplay this month !

Something different on a back offline system with a very old version of OTTD ! I enjoy play these old versions of OTTD as it´s most close to Transport tycoon deluxe with some extra comfort . This is a small island nation with a variety of land and see based transport. Just a little starter to get back in the hang off this nice transpor builder !

Central island area with most industries ! What started with a coal ship supply of a local power station ended with a complete network of freight transport !

Lucky, maybe the map random generated suited my purpose perfectly !

Enjoy !

OTTD Nostaligic gameplay II Sedingworth crazy networks !

This gameplay I played over a decade ago on my DotNet book ! Very limit of posibilities explored, straight forward A to B play nothing special . Yet you see this at the end of 2050 it´s nothing like sophisticate gameplay of today !

You see the cities completely evolved beyond their borders. Network construction totaly imposible up to the inch !

Airports last era only squeezed in as Int come available !

Enjoy !

OTTD Nostalgic gameplay III Frunberg !

Little more recent OTTD gameplay Frunberg Islands ! This sound little like the first, I love islands !

So developed only two airport could meet local transport needs !

Enjoy !
