  1. Sure but... The game has severe limitations in many areas that require troublesome workarounds in order for content to be added satisfactorily. If you want a region with tall mountains what can you do? Is there an easy way? Also if you want trees, trams, roundabouts, european cars and road textures etc. - you just have to learn to operate your computer and that will give you freedom of choice. PS. it would be easier if the game creators had had custom content in mind instead of in their mouths...

  2. NIMBY Collection 1

    vil commented on SimGoober's file in Commercial

    Definitely NIMBY but well made and quite within the bounds of the original game content...

  3. SFBT Tram Museum

    vil commented on Andreas Roth's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    its out!
  4. If its technically possible (IF!!!!) i think the NAM should try to accomodate menu TAB rings for sets of lots that are downloaded often and would clearly benefit from such treatment. This would probably be more useful at this stage than further NAM extensions. It would have to be totally voluntary on the part of the NAM crew and, while obviously more work, would be VERY VERY useful. Someone would have to make it work first, but please dont get discouraged by the negative noises being made The NAM would not have to be updated more often - the ring requests would have to wait for a new NAM release. If its technically possible...
  5. Try GIMP - people complain its complicated and not intuitive enough but it can do most of what photoshop can with RGB images (layers being the most important) - and its free. Do read the gascooker stuff. Black roof = bad idea, theres nothing actually black in the RW except at night in a tunnel.

    vil commented on xannepan's file in Building Sets

    Incredibly awesome but could have hit the STEX in a better way. Right now its a huge download that people might be uncertain about because its a beta. A final model and separately beta lot stuff would be a better way to publish. 2 zip volumes is an easy workaround for the 10 meg rule.

    um... nice

  8. Tennis Expansion Pack

    vil commented on scba's file in Parks & Plazas

    Yes the ingame courts are not that great, thats why i commented, to make yours better ;-)

  9. Railway Electrification Mod

    vil commented on frogface's file in Transportation

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  10. Tennis Expansion Pack

    vil commented on scba's file in Parks & Plazas

    suxx, too big!!3! Sorry ingame courts may be small but are the standard. Tennis courts need a tall fence and a large free area around the court to play. Use a lighter, less saturated and more varied (worn, used) texture for the courts and youll be fine (on a larger lot or with a smaller court).

  11. UK Retail Park Pack 1

    vil commented on rp2005's file in Commercial

    Nicely made, i wasnt sure at first how much i liked it but its gowing on me slowly but surely.

  12. SC4 Startup Manager - manage your plugins!

    vil replied to Andreas Roth's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    Very neat thank you very much - now lets set out to control individual lots and get RC organized dynamically into building style sets including custom ones and assign those to region profiles...

  14. PARIS large school Art Deco

    vil commented on Porkissimo's file in Building Sets

    Very nice.. cant get through to the gallery or large pics etc. Not that that matters anyway, the in-game stuff is what counts. Most fotogenic stuff ever. Porkie has even thrown what i call the "Commando" style - if anything this looks like the RW.

  15. The Mitchell Building

    vil commented on SimGoober's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    I just want to vote, no need to comment :-)

  16. Who is your favorite BATter?

    vil replied to Lyhoko Leaci's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Hehe funny topic - it says favourite not necessarily the best. My favourites would be a tie between Gascooker and SimGoober, the best Bats would be a xannepan/gascooker/porkissimo 3 way tie

  17. Smaller buildings?

    vil replied to pgmark's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    The point seems to be the lots are too big, not that there are none. Why lot sizes are not mentioned on some STEX releases baffles me too, as its one of the basic stats. A clear ingame and night in game shot of what is being distributed would also assist searches...
  18. Hmmm Irish government now that sounds interesting. I wish we had an Irish (would that be wanky liberal or local pub democratic) party over here, id have someone to vote for. (thats the smiley thats written as party)

    Thanks for all the positive responses everyone! Glenni, hey, I never even mentioned Simgoober as inspiration, he mostly does US stuff :-) Zhupan - Same design all over the old empire I guess... blackbeard - they only get THAT lazy once they start going to work :-) Ahojky krajani!

    The model looks fine (shoud be about 30% taller to look really good - compensation for the way in which its displayed in the game) but better textures could make it classy instead of OK.

    vil commented on psycholu's file in Building Sets

    Hi psycholu. Theres a lot more that you could do with textures if you published your work in a thread on the forums and listened to advice.

    vil commented on psycholu's file in Building Sets

    Actually its a textured polygon thats mirrored - mirroring a textured polygon results in garbled texturing.. Dont mirror - copy and move the polygon and then adjust the texture.
