That's really nice!! Great job!

As always Jason, you do great work! Love the Seaduck :-)

Hey, how you doin'? Well, I've decided to take the plung and do a thread on my BATs. The reason why I'm doing this is because.... I've read many many many threads about BATters making a thread to show off their work, to get feed back from those that have exceptional talent in texturing, lighting, and other techniques in BATing skills. I had ask Dirk to take off my old Super Target, because I'm planning to replace it with this one. I had promised a member that I would make a bigger Super Target for his game. This of course will be a Mega Lot. Now, the texturing I've used for the walls is a multi-brown brick. Now, I've tried doing the Dodge/Burn technique from Gascooker's tutorial in the Omnibus. The building isn't done, but I thought I go ahead and show what I've done. The building/BAT is far from being completed. Of course I would like to get advise from those that can help me further in my BATting skills. Thanks for taking time out and helping out! align=baseline> align=baseline>

Thanks to you both - I got to work now - BIDWC helped me out - to kick my old brain to remember - hahaha.

It's been a long time since I've posted here, and that I uploaded anything, or made anything. But, today - I've started to get back into Gmax, and start creating again. Of course it's been since 2009 that I've done anything - it's like learning how to walk again after being disabled for such a long time - I'm taking baby steps again and some things are coming back to me. Though I seem to have an issue - Making transparent windows. I'm following the old tutorial (Phillippo's) that I studied from back in 2004 - and the issue is that I'm following the steps. The next thing you'll need to do is snap another rectangle (again, hiding the window frame can be useful) in the same opening, uncheck the "Generate Mapping Coord." and "Display Mesh" boxes after the new rectangle is snapped, apply a UVW Map to it, and rename this rectangle "Windows - Glass". But it's not transparent. Is there something or step I'm doing wrong - as you can see the window in the front door is not transparent. Thank you for your help. Bobbo662 ****EDIT**** Never mind, I got it to work :-)

Looks great! I think you are doing a wonderful job! Keep up the great work!!!

I have given Patrick permission to do whatever he would like to do with my BATs.

You did a great job on that Rico - I thought it was fantastic.  Boy - that brings back the days.  I still get request for my BATs that I have on MediaFile now. All 59 of them.  Sadly to say - my chihuahua that I had in my Avatar - or represented the my avatar - he had passed away last Feb 12th. 2013 - he was 10 yrs old.

Hi - love your work, I have a question - I downloaded the Atlanta MARTA mass transit pack my buses appear, but I'm not able to find the tracks to lay out my trains. I downloaded the file into my paks folder, but when I get into the game - the tracks don't seem tp appear in the road menu. Am I missing a file or something to get this to work? Thank you. Bobbo

I no longer BAT, so therefore I no longer take request. I have taken my stuff down b/c I no longer have the game running on my system - so therefore I do not have dependence listings for the items I use. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to comment on my BATs - and I hope they looked good in your game. I will be posting my work on FaceBook, if you want any of my old stuff - find me under Robert Walker on FaceBook, and request. Thank you. THREAD CLOSED.

Originally posted by: Apache Ok...I have to say or get something off my chest abit..*cough* cough* ok. Even though simcity IS THE BEST CB game in its genre........its dead! Cities XL even though its in its early stages of development is and will cont to do a better job then SC did when it first came out. Why? Because SC has paved the way for Cities XL to do just that. I too would love very much for a simcity 5 to come to pass but lets be honest here there is no talk of it and tha last attempt at it FAILED and many people lost interest in SC . Cities XL smelled and saw an opening and jumped into the water head first. I am tired of hearing SC this and SC that....it was a very great game and time has passed no longer are the blocky graphics cool or 90 degree streets ok....lets be honest with this and give Cities XL a chance to give us what we truly want...another CB game to either take the place of SC4 or issue a challenge to EA either way we all win and they make money. To put it simply .."Your either on the new wave of CB games or your stuck playing SC4 until the end of time praying to whoever your god may be for simcity5 to come out" but by then the new wave will be Cities XL 4. The train is about to leave the station........will you be on it with me or will you be holding your SC4 cover box hoping that EA wakes up?.....plain and simplequote> Well said!! I remember as well when SC4 first came out, alot of gamers complained about issues, and missed some of the stuff that was left out from SC2000, like disasters, and other items, but as years went on, modders and BATters did their magic to help the game to become more exciting. I think Cities XL will too become as great as a game like SC4 once was, and still is today. I bought my Limited Edition, and I'm playing to spend $$$ on PO - I really like to thank MC for their hard work - I think the developers at MC really bent-over backwards for you all here at Simtropolis community to help further your CB gaming experience - at least be grateful.
