NYC BAT Team presents: NYC bus stop props - RTMT compatible Modelling and modding by Gwail This is a pack of the NYC MTA bus sign and bus shelter props with 8 different advertisements (Mc Donald's, ESPN, Hard Rock Cafe, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Burn the energy drink, Hancock the movie and NYC yellow cab). The original bus shelter design has been made by Cemusa. The pack doesn't include any lot files. The props are designed to work with Roadtop Mass Transit (RTMT) series, but can be used in any other lots as well. To see the bus stops in the game, use Lot Editor or install the RTMT package. For installation instructions see the RTMT readme. Warning: Release of RTMT add-on pack v3.60 makes this upload obsolete, as the RTMT v3.60 includes all props presented here. Use my NYC bus stop props only if you are using RTMT v3.51 and older. If you have any question or bug report, please visit my development thread at SC4Dev or NYBT BAT Team thread. Credits: Big, big thanks to z and cogeo from RTMT Team for their help. Special thanks to cogeo for his angelic patience and many helpful tips, without them these BATs wouldn't look as they do. -

This is the NYBT essentials pack for many upcoming releases. It contains query windows - standard NYBT query windows for most common building types and a special 9/11 query. The essentials will be modified and improved when needed. Remember to put the essentials file into the Plugins folder in order to see the NYBT query windows. The standard NYC skyline can be changed into the new one, including new WTC complex - just unzip the file NYBT_essentials_new_skyline into your plugin folder. If you wish to replace the standard Maxis query windows with the NYBT custom windows, unzip the file NYBT_maxis_query_replace into the plugin folder. Remember to use NYBT essentials main file in order to see the custom headers. Info for NYBT members: You have to edit the building exemplar with Ilive's Reader and change the query exemplar GUID property with following values: 0xB4ADBA01 - landmarks, 0xB4ADBA02 - commercials, 0xB4ADBA03 - industrials, 0xB4ADBA04 - landmarks - 9/11 version, 0xB4ADBA07 - residentials, 0xB4ADBA08 - Police stations, 0xB4ADBA09 - City Jail, 0xB4ADBA0a - Federal Prison, 0xB4ADBA0b - Fire Stations, 0xB4ADBA0c - School, 0xB4ADBA0d - Library, 0xB4ADBA0e - Main Library, 0xB4ADBA0f - College, 0xB4ADBA10 - Museum, 0xB4ADBA11 - University, 0xB4ADBA12 - Major Art Museum, 0xB4ADBA13 - Private School, 0xB4ADBA14 - Hospital & Clinic, 0xB4ADBA15 - Disease Research Center, 0xB4ADBA16 - All Park Types, 0xB4ADBA17 - Bus stop, 0xB4ADBA18 - Car Garage, 0xB4ADBA19 - Subway Stations, 0xB4ADBA1a - Toll Booth, 0xB4ADBA1b - Train Station & Freight Station, 0xB4ADBA1c - Church, 0xB4ADBA1d - Statue, 0xB4ADBA1e - Cemetery, 0xB4ADBA1f - Court House, 0xB4ADBA20 - City Hall, 0xB4ADBA21 - Power Plant.

As I'm only the little tinker, such thread name is adequate, I think, so welcome to my NYC workshop! I'll try to put here any progress of my projects. As usually, any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Well,thanks for the tip, T Wrecks, but the police query is rather a kind of joke - haven't you noticed, that it's styled to look like the NYPD vehicle ? In fact I don't intend to make multi-coloured texts in the future - they will be blue, mostly, as the main colour of "corporate ID" or achromatic (black or white), depending of the overal layout - I think you don't need to worry .

Well, at last the new NYBT essentials have arrived at STEX! Big thanks to Aaron - without you it rather wouldn't be possible . I hope you'll enjoy it.
-
Well, Aaron has made the whole bunch of NYBT standard query windows for many kinds of facilities, with standard NYBT header, such as commercial or landmark. But, if you insist...

Thank you all for the support! Well, Alicia feels well, weights already 4300 and grows really fast . She's almost service-free, but I'm happy if I'm able to find enough time to sleep. PBGV103 I'd love to, but it's not recommended right now. I don't have enough free time to launch 3ds and make anything, so it would be wasting your time right now. I'll let you know when I'm ready (and you are still interested in BAT, too ). Till then I'll try to make with Aaron the pack of new NYBT window querries, at least.

Originally posted by: Aaron GrahamThe street light problem is how to get the light to show up.

Thanks to RKT4 you can set different models to show up at day and at night, same as you can set more than one model appearing at once. You can read the details about it here - or let me know, as I'm dealing with the RKT-4 props these times for RMIP-3 project. The second modding thing about such lights project is using T21 exemplars to make the stoplights appear on every crossroad. -

Gwail replied to GuerrilaWarfare's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop
Thanks for the feedback, I didn't expect so many posts . I think I'll keep the skyline as it is now, and like Andreas has suggested, I'll made the alternative zz_file for substitution. Imo black colour of the skyline makes it better noticeable as a header, the blue will render it as common as rest of the window content. And about the text - although the original name was NYC BAT Team, imo you don't need to change the name to bat all the NY region , just like HKBT now it's "artificially" changed to Hong-Kong/Asian BAT Team. From the other hand, its a secondary matter in this case, no problem to change. The matter how the watermark should appear is secondary at this time, I think. Although I'd rather use the B version, both blending and placement - I don't like such symmetrical layouts too much, same as I'm not affraid to cut the logotype, still remaining it's main "content". Brandon, sure I'm cruising around all the time . -
GW, thanks for the tip, I'll consider that. Surely, I plan to add some older trains as well, if I only learn how to do that - it isn't so simple as adding another bus, it needs to create brand new LUA script. I can't set even approx. date of release, as my free time varies a lot - last year was really busy (new living place, new job, another baby coming within next two weeks), so I'm glad I can spare 4-5 hrs a week this year. And I spend it finishing the RMIP 3.1 project, first.

Gwail replied to GuerrilaWarfare's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop
Speaking of NYBT badge, Aaron has asked me lately to redesign the NYBT query windows and add some new querries, especially for residentials. I'm presenting three propositions and I think I'll wait about two weeks to get as many of your opinions as possible, then I'll make the update on the STEX. If anyone of you will get another design, don't hesitate to post it . By the way, sorry for my absence. It will last a bit yet, as I still don't have too much time these days. And if I already have any, I'd spend it finishing the RMIP 3.1 project, first. -

Originally posted by: LVK_ST PROBLEM : TEXTURE APPEAR RED BLUE GREEN AND BLACK SOLUTION: WRONG TGI ID quote> It's maybe a bit off these days, but I'll give a try. It's not a problem with TGI ID. You've probably used HD texture (512 x 512 px at least), it's visible only in hardware rendering mode. To see it properly in software mode, you have to make the new texture 256 x 256 px max. I hope it helps. Good luck with modding and hunting . -
gio10469, all presented models are still "hand-made" (plus one bus model waiting on the siding for textures), but I'll try to get the another vehicles 3d modelled with acceptable poly count. Francis, I think I'll be able to make a "generic" version of the bus depot, why not. halo1dragon, you just must be patient, my friend. The proper time shall come, some day . A small update meanwhile, perhaps? It's 1 Union Square West, called Lincoln Building, sometimes.

SimFox, here you are the GUI exemplars for NYBT (you can find them here): * 0xB4ADBA01 for landmarks, * 0xB4ADBA02 for commercials, * 0xB4ADBA03 for industrials, * 0xB4ADBA04 for landmarks - 9/11 version. Your MenuOrder appear to be 8B hex (139 decimal). -
Sure, Paul, already working on it. Thanks, Todd. I'll have to experiment a bit, still. Honestly speaking I don't plan to leave the transparent glasses (it's temporary), maybe only on the first floor (and arrange well the Diesel's exposition).
-
gio10469, that's and idea, I'll try to find out more about the caboose. I do hope you will finish your R-142, it looked very well. GuerrilaWarfare, afair I've made a "Q" line sign, sorry . Halo1dragon, no, I don't plan to release them, just teasing you . I've decided that it's time to start something more challenging that simply "box modelling". Here are the first results: There is still many details to do, but the building seems to be "previewable", at last . Some details have disappeared, I'll have to texture them carefully, I suppose. The main problem so far are the buildings dimensions - it doesn't fit to w2w at all, I'll have to make some additional fillers or maybe create a whole quarter (ca. 7 buildings, 10x4 tiles)...

Currently on the table: automata NYC ambulances There is some skins to do left and all flashing / night models. NYC MTA subway trains: It's the first of the NYC subway trains serie - if I only will manage the LUA scripts to spawn more than one type of automata. So far there are no night models for any of my R-160 car. I'd like to research how to mount the engine at the end of a train, as well. BATs MTA Laguardia Bus Depot The main hangar still need some work, especially with windows on the west side. Beside this, there are still some buildings to do from the scratch. NYC MTA subway stations Designed to be part of RTMT (that's why the dimensions aren't exact) - just like the published bus shelter pack. Except of such generic stations, I'd like to make some unique ones (such as Union Square stations) in the future.

Originally posted by: PBGV103 thus $4k isn't that much...quote> ... and if you really know how to use it - it could profit you much more, every month, don't forget to mention . I'd like to add a thought about the Lever House. If it's only a matter of the the scale of Marc's model, there is an opportunity to use Cogeo's tool to rescale it, I hope. At least you could spare more time on this project . It would be nice to have a NYBT member involved .

Great, Paul, there will be UN headquarters, at last . You will be able to publish it as your model, imo, but you should mention in the description, that it's based (inspired?) on Superstar's model. Originally posted by: GuerrilaWarfare Gwail the subway trains Aaron are talking about, can you also make them for rails in addition to elevated rails ?quote> Well, when I'll be able to finish the R-160, I could mod it as the train, why not - as an additional unofficial mod. The NYC trains will require their own models, after all .
-
Glad to see so much work around here, guys! You're still going to be better and better, that's really good news. I'm just giving a sign of life . However for last three months I'm only a quite loyal lurker, there always should be a time to make anything new, no matter how many RL business is waiting to finish .

Here comes a New Flyer D40LF / DE40LF, a low floor suburban highway coach used by SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), being built by a canadian manufacturer New Flyer Industries. The buses are made for a request. SEPTA bus - New Flyer D40LF / DE40LF Automata model by Gwail Textures by Gwail There are two SEPTA New Flyer buses inside, in two propelling versions - Diesel D40LF and hybrid Diesel-Electric DE40LF, both with specific wrap-advertising, as replacement of Maxis' standard bus and as additional automata. The buses have fully functional realistic nightlight models for night-time running. Full details and installation instructions in the README file.
