Title: UPS & FedEx automata
Post by: snickm on July 19, 2007, 07:56:13 PM
I hope I'm not missing it, but I haven't seen any UPS or FedEx vehicles in the game.  I think there's a U-Haul & Budweiser truck.  Anyway, it would be nice to have these two quite common vehicles in the game.

As custom content, the Budweiser and the U-Haul exist. They didn't ship with the game :P
I'm rather buried by a bunch of projects (my own fault of course). It will be awhile before I can do anything like this again. :(

The U-Hauls that come with the U-Haul storage center are not defined as moving trucks, so they won't appear when your Sims are moving into their newly constructed homes. The U-Hauls that come with the U-Haul storage center are set to spawn only around that Lot.

There is an U-Haul in this download on the STEX Additional Vehicles Set 2 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=12201) which I made. This one is based on one of the Maxis moving vans and functions as a moving truck. This set also contains a Budweiser truck, which will appear among your freight trucks. They do not replace any existing vehicles.

As for the U-Haul storage center not appearing in the menus, I can't help with that as I never installed that Lot.

Rusty,

That entire set is made of non-replacement vehicles, hence the name of that download. All of my automata files on the BSC LEX are also non-replacement vehicles, some with files to replace the Maxis defaults. The file descriptions of my uploads will say what the files will do. Also, the emergency vehicles I have on the BSC LEX are more up to date than the files I uploaded to the STEX. Just look up my username on the LEX to see what I have to offer.

There are several recent delivery trucks such as UPS on the STEX by SimFanatik. However, they are not compatible with several of the vehicles in the SW77/Glenni car pack. His STEX files are here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/?p=files&keyword=simfanatik&view=all).

If I could get him a model IID range i could tell him how to make them so they don't replace any other custom automata.

The problem with his two trucks is that they are based on the motorhome, which uses a custom script for the UDI driving parameters. Same problem he is having with his new semi models that he wants to release that he built using my Vandy Automata models. He will need a custom script to make them separate from the Vandy vehicles. However, I do not have time to help him with his projects, as I have plenty of my own to do with an extensive backlog.

He sent me several messages, some in all caps, asking for me to help him. Messages sent in all caps is seen as shouting, and I really don't want to help someone who treats me that. I also do not approve of him posting the contents of a private message into the description for one of his uploads. That was very unprofessional of him to do that.
