@Branch   I am dealing with some RL issues at the moment.  I can definately release them.  I will put them through testing and figure out the dependancies.  It will take atleast 3 weeks for me to get to the upload point because of RL.  And I am focusing what time I have into FLOG.

Thank you very much for the interest!  Which lots are you hoping for the most?

We have been working pretty hard the last week, modding.  I have 9 holes somewhat completed, and 1 Clubhouse.

Beskhu3epmn has created a template Menu Button for me and I will be adding them this week, also Mognite had created an NHP custom query for the NHP essentials prop pack.  I will be creating an update for the NHP Essentials prop pack aswell and be using Mognite's NHP custom query!  And I cant wait till Wouanagaine sends me a test of his new tool!!  It will save me sooo much time!  But I cannot devulge any information on that one.... Thats his job!

Modding Stats for the lots have been derived from simple formulas as following:

Buldoze Cost   $10 per tile
Plop Cost      $15 per tile
Monthly Cost   10% of Plop Cost   

Demand Cap         
R$$   1 per tile
R$$$   5 per tile

Effects            
Park      1 per tile over 20 tiles
Landmark      1 per tile over 20 tiles

Pollution         
Air   -2 over 5 tiles   
Water   1 over 3 tiles
Garbage   0      
         
Flamability0      
Stage   0   
   
Water   5 plus 2 for each lrg pond and plus 1 for each sm pond
Power   1 for light props which will be added soon

Well, I have been working my busy little buns off on this project!  Barbyw has helped me with a budget issue I was having!  Thanks Barby!

Over the past week I have gotten a good portion of the path system created, and the filler lots as well.  Modding is coming along great!  There Im about 50-66% done all the modding, I still have Menu Icons and an NHP custom query to add.

Heres some nice pics of a golfcourse I created with the lots.  As of right now there is about 27 lots , 9 holes, 9 path lots, 8 filler lots, 1 clubhouse.

Hey there jplumbley-

This new modular golfcourse set of yours is looking great.  We've got tons of them around here in Oregon, some of them with rather odd layouts (the city of Heppner, for instance, only has a 6 hole course), so this will be a welcome addition to my cities.

Also, when anyone "modularizes" anything that's just been a one-size-fits-all underscaled plop by Maxis, I'm all for it.  Looking forward to it. :thumbsup:

Invermere looks great... I can see where the glacier slid through the mountains.  &apls
The most astounding and unique aspect of the human race is our fervent application of our ingenuity to kill each other, thus completely defying the near-universally proven fact that the ultimate goal of a member of a species is to ensure the survival of the species.

Thanks Flame!  I have to give half the credit to Besku3epmn, since he was the one that took the GIS data and made it into the base SC4 map for me to edit.

Well, now... Since I have been working on other projects, this thread has been very neglected.  Hows about I dust it off.

I have been doing homework as of recent.  My homework, is an assignment where I need to build a 3D Model of a house of my choosing.  I have chosen, the Gamble House by Greene and Greene Architects.  The house was built in 1908 and has been used in a few movies, most notably the Doc's house from Back to the Future and the house in Jumanji.  The house is a beautiful Arts and Crafts home (my favorite style)...  If it wasnt a historical building now I would love to live in it if it wasnt for it being in California.

The assignment is to build the house in AutoCAD and then import into Autodesk Visual Studio.  In CAD all the major modelling will be done and then in Viz all the materials, lighting, cameras, flora, etc will be done.  Over then next 9 weeks this will be one of my major assignments through the term and maybe, just maybe, I can get it into SC4.  Im not promising anything, because I have never rendered before and am not sure if I can even do it with the programs I have.  I could always ask for help from friends though.

The requirements of the model is to be full 3D, interior and exterior with professional quality detail.  We have to create our own materials for the project, build custom lighting for the home, setup cameras, for still shots and setup atleast one camera for a video.

Anyways, I am going to passout now... so here's a quick render of how far I am in the modelling.

lookin good there, I guess if it ever gets to the game this will probably be one of the most detailed BAT's in it, (along side BIGDIG). I like autoCAD, worked with it for 6 weeks as an Engineer 2 years ago. spent much of the time removing stuff Architects stuck in LOL...

If you can get this batted, I'd be able to justify downloading the BTTF DeLorean.  ;D

Thanks guys.  I will post more pictures the further along I get on this project for ya.  I cant wait till I hit materials and lighting, it will be fun for me to play with that stuff.  The rendering, may drive me "batty" though LOL.

 &apls Looking real good there JP.  I agree with the above statement that if this project ever gets into the game, it will be one of the most detailed lots around.
