Title: Tree Controller help needed!
Post by: ElPhantasmo69 on May 30, 2013, 12:52:08 PM
Hi all, after searching fruitlessly for info on how to make/modify a tree controller I'm resorting to begging for assistance. I'm using Cycledogg's Italia Tree Controller but would really like to add a few trees to the mix - specifically the various types of palm trees and a few of the smaller tropical plants he released (fan palm, date palm, royal palm, etc. from CP Mega props Vol. 2). Further I'd love to adjust the S.A.M. to have these palms as the tree of choice.

I have found the Tree Controller Tool but can't seem to make heads or tails of how to make it work properly. My results are along the lines of Charlie Brown's halloween ghost costume.

So is anyone up to the challenge of giving me a hand with these two minor projects?

Thanks in advance!

For all things tree controller you need to be in Street Geekery (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=13223) (very aptly named thread), starting from post #136 on page 7.

I should warn you that modding tree controllers is as far from a "minor" project you can get. It's massive. Then again, it's not undoable. Your second "minor" project involves what is called T21 modding, which is also not the easiest thing to start with.

You should learn the basics of reader before you start with either because these two have the potential to be very frustrating. But good luck in any case!
