Oh, it's such a nice news that your MD is back. I'll preper myself now for the best tea in SC4D.

After sitting all days reading 'HYACINTH BUCKET'S BOOK OF BETTER-CLASS BRITISH COOKERY's chapter about tea, I missed your MD soooooo much

So, you can expect me coming for visit sooner or later BTW, I don't like Earl Gray too

Derry, sorry to hear about the TTC demise  , great to hear of it's resurrection 

More importantly, hope you are OK.

Like the teaser, very Derryesque  (I just make words up as I go  )

So, this is the new TaTT.  I wonder which direction you are going.  The TEAser that I saw seems to suggest that ports and educational facilities will be prominent, but that's just a wild guess.   TEAsing, yet pleasing.    (I just had to try that out)

[BarbyW]

Great TEAser, Derry. I thought more along of the lines of dairies and Munster Cheese although maybe you really meant a Mayor Diary
Whatever the direction I am sure it will be as entertaining as usual.

[bat]

Looking forward to it and nice teaser!

[Pat]

so Derry are we gonna get some milk with this lol!!! anyways I love the teaser    I hope you can sit as I cant as of late lol  bad butt joke heheehehe

[Sheep49]

There's nothing better than a tea in such a beautiful place as depictedin your TEAser, and with so sympathetic people like you.

I can't wait to see Munster I'm sure it's going to be something extraordinary

Keep us TEAsed

Thanks for some ideas though 

Thanks everyone for your kind words.


Hey everyone you wanna know a secret? you wont tell anyone right?
The Picture of that castle is of Blackrock Castle in Cork Ireland
and I used to work there for a year and a half.

It was the last Bastion of Defence to Cork Harbour from seaborne attack which was the purpose of its been built.
Mind you if it had to be called into action it would have taken a mighty fleet of ships to get past this defence considering the
distance from the mouth of the harbour and having to navigate a narrowing channel going past about 4 or 5 forts bristling with canon. 

It was later converted to a private residence and then Leased by the Imperial Hotel in Cork City and converted to a Bar/Restaurant
with catering/function facilities mainly for weddings where it was Spectacular for Photo opportunities.

It has recently been converted to an observatory which can be seen in the picture.
(and i hope they got the heating fixed coz it were freezing in the summer let alone the winter
Who needs air con when you got 6' thick stone walls,built on an outcropping of rock in a windswept channel
and water on three sides  even in summer in a heatwave the temp inside would need a fire in the fireplace
and what pathetic heating we had installed to be on all the time  )




But its Haunted.


And I have been there all night on many occasions setting up for a function and my fur
stood on end many, many times.



Scary place at night.

I don't envy the Astronomers

Some pics soon

Now that's what I call a teaser! And right on time for Halloween! It's so good to know you're back in the game and enthusiastic about TaTT again. As you can see from the many posts, your fans are enthusiastic about it, too!

Later...

Derry that is something else there mate!!! Did u personaly have any personal encounters with some spooks that you would care to share with us on this scarierdy cat of a day???  naw anywho I cant wait till that update sir!!!

[metarvo]

 

It actually sounds like a good place to retreat to in the summer, since I'm a winter person, but I would still have to brave the nights...  Anyway, I won't tell anyone.

[TheTeaCat]

Welcome one and all.
Thanks for stopping by, its great to see you my friends, Old, New and those I have yet to meet.
As you may recall TatTT stopped rather abruptly and I must apologise for that. The entire region and its associated plugins have been consigned to a dvd where it will gather dust for a while, till one day I stumble accross it again (maybe).

Life was/is ..... unkind and I had a harsh lesson. Enough said but I lost my passion for a lot of things for a while, but...
there's always a but (eh Pat, Heehee) I got most of them back and SC4 is one. And so here we are.
And I wanna try something new for me too. I tried the BAT. I can use it, make a functional building/prop etc but
I find that I have to do so much and remember stuff where I put it , what I got to do and redo and redo and redo, I could
go on and on but I won't. So if I really need something I'll make it but I much prefer to use the wonderful creations by the talented BATter's in a new or different way.

So I'll be trying my hand at some custom lotting which will be seen here. I've been perusing various tutorials and trying some stuff so lets see what happens.

As it stands my plugins and regions folder is empty. But I have decided on my terrain mod so thats a start.

Cycledoggs - ItaliaTerrainController is the one I'm going with.

And then its a mix and match for the rocks cliffs etc.
Olympic  beach, Meadowshire cliff, Missouri Breaks rock textures and the Little Missouri water mod.

Oh I need a map. So although there are some superb maps about, I wanted something a bit more personal so out came the Terraformer


This is the result


All medium tiles


Grayscale of it -looks nice too


A topographic map compiled from each city tile;)

So how about a region shot then

as naked as the moment it was rendered:)

Suppose I better get some vegetation there - looks a bit bare to me, but......

There's that but again ..... first I gotta stick the kettle on.

Its new, bigger and faster

Fancy a brew?

Till the next time
