  1. BAT4Blender

    thawking replied to memo's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    hello all! last i checked in on this project it was still kind of a pipe dream, so it's really exciting to see how far it's progressed. i'd love to help if i can—i am not a coder in any shape or form, but i do know my way around Blender pretty well, and i used it several years back to model a few buildings that i then exported to 3ds Max and to the game via Bat4Max. I don't have a 3ds Max license any more, so the idea of being able to use Blender from start to finish is really exciting. i have a few buildings that i've worked on now and then for fun, really, and they're in a state where they're prob ready to be rendered, so if anyone would like to use them to test the existing Bat4Blender functionality, they're most welcome to do so. I also have Blender running on both macOS and Windows 10, so if cross-platform testing is required, i could certainly help with that. i can also help with tips for using Blender for anyone unfamiliar w the software, and i'm v much open to ideas w/r/t other things i could do! fwiw, here are the WIP buildings i have kicking around
  2. in all seriousness: what a time to be alive! the work that modders are doing w this lovely game, 16 years after it was first released, is really amazing. bravo!

  3. BAT for Blender (Looking for help)

    thawking replied to Bryan623's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    Hey @Bryan623 (and @Jasoncw), there's a discussion of this happening at SC4Devotion. Some progress is being made, although the project is still very much in its infancy. I've modelled all my BATs (all three of them, lol) in Blender, bc i find it easier than 3ds Max, but at present i still need to export them to 3ds Max (or Gmax) to render them for SC4.

  4. SOLVED: Alpha Bleeding (White Edges) BAT4MAX 3DS MAX

    thawking replied to Barroco Hispano's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Wait, so @Goldman Sachs, what's the program you're using in the post where you say "I think I found a way to eliminate the black edges"? And ... how does that method work? I'm having a heap of trouble w alpha bleeding on this BAT i'm trying to render, and I'd love to know how to get rid of it. (I've used both of the solutions that Mattb325 describes here, and the problem remains.)

  12. FAQ: FileJuicer and .exe installers

    thawking replied to kbooms1w's topic in SC4 Mac Users

    I've been using Wine. It works, and is free. I wouldn't bother with Filejuicer tbh

  13. Appalachian Mod on App Store SC4

    thawking posted a topic in SC4 Mac Users

    Has anyone been able to get HD texture mods working on the App Store re-release? I get a crash to desktop as soon as I try to found a new city. Using hardware rendering, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Anyone got any ideas?
