MitCity (Urban Map) *no more updates*

[Mitchieboy®]

I started of a thread about my buildings for others to use because I wasn't able to get them into RoR, however, now I am. thanks to Redeye. Jerom helped me on cleaning the original FlatMap. I decided to actually make it a map, instead of a temporary test ground. I first of continued in the original thread, but it gets messy so I give it a thread of it's own. the map now looks like this





cancelled, the current version will be the final

looks ferry good

Nice that you made a seperate thread, I think we'll be able to see the progress better now ;D
And for the load spawner and truckspawner, what if you make open ones and just building ones?

Or what about a big towing lot or something where you spawn the vehicles? Or just an warehouse or something? Just some ideas..

yeah, for truckspawner I was thinking about a car rental agency or something... load spawner not sure...

I added the Skyscrapers again, this time fixed. they are ~500m from the houses.

[lcomotion]

I like the house on map!

[iankonings]

for the load spawner you could make an little ware house or something?

I will add my Mall, however the model I originally made has underground parkings... so it's quite some work to fix them..

[iankonings]

isn't there a way to keep the underground parking lot?

No, it you keep the parking garage you cant enter it, than you have to change map thing

Stop, don't! If your map wasn't... well... Flatmap, it obviously wouldn't be that flat. Digging a hole in the terrain at the spot of your mall should help - untidy edges can be covered up with other buildings, roads, pavements, that sort of stuff. So the good news is that you could keep your underground parking lot with a tweaked version of the terrain. The bad news is that it would change the height offset of all the buildings placed. Yes, all of them. If you still want to have a try, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do on the terrain.

By the way, this mall is quite a stunner. I've been thinking of doing a mall myself for a while, but that one arguably beats anything I would've come up with.

I'll just edit the parking... on the pic you can see the right is already modified, the left side in progress. it originally looked like this:

----
got myself a WORKING custom truck spawner. I do think it looks kinda too simple though, needs more details.


HOWEVER, it only spawns correctly when no loadspawner is present, when there is you get this:


anyone know how to fix it?

Wow ! nice track !

i would suggest some materials to the buildings to give them life
cause they look sort of dull and boring right now.
but all in all very nice work there.

can you release a beta ?

[iankonings]

can you release a beta ?

can you shut up?

Your terrn-file probably has something like this in it...: (where "yourtruckshop" is obviously your own truck shop .odef)

1310.00, 258.00, 925.00, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, yourtruckshop
1330.00, 258.00, 970.00, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, load-spawner

It should, however, look like the following one to avoid the above issue. Notice your object line is followed by "shop" or "sale" (depending on what whether it's a truck spawner or a load spawner) and then some random name. The name will also appear on the minimap:

1310.00, 258.00, 925.00, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, yourtruckshop shop Your_Truck_Shop_City
1330.00, 258.00, 970.00, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, load-spawner sale Load_Spawner_Country

Best have a look at the stock North St. Helens map if you're puzzled by something. A good example is very often already the best answer ;p.

Oh, and another one: Don't rotate truck spawners. Always have them angled 0,0,0. Never, ever rotate a truck spawner. It can lead to weird issues.

[scania970]

can you shut up?

okok i'm sorry

[Mitchieboy®]

can you release a beta ?

can you shut up?

I'm sorry? you actually asked me more or less the same on my profile.. nothing wrong with asking, but I find it kinda strange you tell him to shut up while you did the same...

the odef file is called CarRentalSpawner1... and yes, it's rotated -90 degrees. I'll have a look at what I can do..

in the .terr file it's this line

2435.2, 0, 2170.0, 0, -90, 0, CarRentalSpawner1

[Redeye]

in the .terr file it's this line

2435.2, 0, 2170.0, 0, -90, 0, CarRentalSpawner1

Try:


2435.2, 0, 2170.0, 0, 0, 0, CarRentalSpawner1 shop Car_Rental

The "Car_Rental" part can really be anything (mind you, "_" instead of spaces). The important part for your current problem is that it has "shop Car_Rental_or_Something" at the end. Same thing with the load spawner. It needs "sale Load_Spawner_or_Something" at the end. Else, RoR will confuse the two spawners and spawn your vehicles in the wrong places.
As the rotation is concerned, that's to avoid issues with vehicle wheels. It's strongly recommended you plan your map so you don't have to rotate a spawner. Some cars get messed up.

I will just rotate the mesh
