BSC Functional, Upgradeable Seaports - Development

[Diggis]

Unfortunatly no.  That would require every piece to be rerendered to the same texture.  Unfortunatly everyone has their favourite sets and there would never be an agreement as to which set to match.  Added to this is the fact that Oppie is gone so we don't have his models anways.

[HandsOn]

I would have liked to use oppie's slightly more Dutch canals with those ports. Wonder now if I could change their base or overlay texture in the dreaded LE?

Mod edit for profanity

[BarbyW]

It will be very difficult to edit these lots as they are all in one dat and LE will save copies out into plugins. The coal port has two versions with a modifier file but at the moment there is no option for the general port and no support for JRJ or Oppie canals. If I have time I can look into the possibility of doing these sets but it will depend on whether the other sets have suitable models available.

[HandsOn]

Nah - that sounds like way too much work. I think - can't be sure - that in my fooling around with LE (not having access to the fabled X-Tool  ) I've seen oppie's canal sets and I think I could lot the change in texture on these, rather than the other way around. For my personal use, mind you. Sometime between the organizer coding, responding to PM's, reponding to unread messages, and surveying the internet at large (not to mention RL), I'll probably schedule that for the beginning of 2013..would be nice to play the game once in a while, though - thus make that 2014..

What is this game of which you speak?

Actually, at this point, almost any game would be a relief - short of GTA - never had the s-"kills" for that (I get killed, arrested, or otherwise thrown out in 30 seconds flat!).

Getting shot down before the opening credits have rolled?? That's what GTA is all about - gosh, suddenly I'm a winner..

OK, I know I started this, but could we possibly stick on topic before I get in trouble.

Thank you Mas-san for all your help! This is Japanese wiki, it is a great idea, you put a lot of work into it and it really helps! Thank you!

[BarbyW]

Mas-san, I have looked at your wiki and should point out that the Pegasus ports are not part of and not compatible with the BSC Functional Seaports.
You have done a good job with the page. Please feel free to use the animations if you can. I will send them to you if necessary.

[MAS71]

@BarbyW san
Thank you for reply and tell me an important point as well.
I already added a note about that.  (not compatible Peg's some seaports.)

and Thank you for permission for use your images.
It's ok, I already could copy some gif-animation to my PC. I'll upload them to my ImageShack and link to them on our wiki later.


Thank you always your big support for us Barby san.

I could take a pics one and upload it because there was not in this thread. 

SDP - SNM Seaport

Stage-8 was not included in this pic.  Let's confirm it with your own eyes.

hmm... anybody thinking of redoing the farmer's market?

I mean it's not supposed to be a port where goods are shipped to other regions; however in real life produce is sent to these markets which is then bought by the population. So is it possible to make a port-enabled farmer's market?

[BarbyW]

Masuda-san - that looks like an  and that I missed out one stage. I am so sorry but if there is anything else I can do to help please ask.
allan_kuan1992 - as you can see from the SWAP Packaging Centre anything can be made to act like a port so I will look at making a market style port for the next upgrade.

Can anyone help with the SDP on a mac?
I've DL'd the SDP and all dependancies, but file juicer renames the DATs, so I'm not sure what is what. I get the BLS Rural Port in game, but that is the only one that shows up. The rural port upgrades fine and looks great. I'd like to use other ports as well. The maxis seaport does not show up either.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated. (This may be an issue I'll have to live with.)

Ben

edit:i'll post this in the Mac forum as well
