These are looking really good now, looking forward to their release Can I ask, did you actually BAT the corregated effect on the buildings or is it just the texture? Thanks.

No-CDs are available to download, obviously I can't say where, but they allow you to play the game without putting in the disk. But as onlyplace4 said the custom content nightlighting doesn't work. I can see it being useful in your case because the CD could get damaged, I have had a CD ruined by my younger siblings before, and its incredibly annoying, considering I'd spent

Thanks for that NCD, I never knew that it only really saves when you exit the program, I'll keep that in mind when I use the LE. I know what you mean about exiting and having to reload the program, with the amount of plugins I have it takes about 3 or 4 minutes to load up .

-GreenTreeWater The buildings as props files are on this page: http://simcity.ea.com/coolstuf...r/loteditortool_01.php -NCD The Lots are looking fantastic, I can't imagine how much time you must have spent in the LE

Cool Idea, I'll follow this one. Make sure you BAT the pits and paddock etc

Thanks for your comments About the texturing, well I just need to learn and practise how to apply textures correctly to different bits of the BAT (theres alot of options and check boxes and I've no idea what they do ) Edit: After playing around texturing for an hour and doing a few practise renders I think I've managed the basics of texturing now I think I've found the perfect textures to use on this crane: Textures And heres a link to the crane mines based on: Original Crane

More Progress: Still lots of detailing to do. As for textures, well I don't know how to texture yet, I'm waiting for that excellent tutorial by phillippbo to come back online, so I can learn how.

Hi and welcome to my BAT Thread. I've been playing SC4 for about 3 months, and I started BATing yesterday. I'm still new to the BAT tool, I've read some tutorials and I'm learing quick. My first BAT is a Dockyard Crane, I feel the game really needs a larger one, and my docks never look quite right. Its still in the construction stages, I've done the basic shape of it, still lots to do. This was actually supposed to be a practise one, but I like how its turning out. In game shot of a draft render: Still to do is the detailing (ladders handrails etc), cab, counter weight, etc. I'll have it finished in a couple of days, as I've got tons of time at the moment. And I will have for the next few weeks, so expect lots more I'll do one BAT at a time as not to confuse people. Feel free to post what you think etc.

Originally posted by: Tidalpool Can all .sc4lots be deleted or are there instances where they are needed for a file to work properly. </P>quote> Yes, whats needed is the .model and .desc files. But files may be contained in a .dat file and the .sc4lot file cannot be deleted, and I've no idea how to extract files from a .dat.
