Smr Simple!

I do, actually. University bulk licences are a nice perk ;) But anyway, I've been trying some more to make models the way SMR expects them, and it's a real pain. Outside of anything else making complex unwrapped UV textures really taxes my 2D graphics skills... I'm more and more doubtful I can get w...

Hmm, when the NifTool plugin is installed, 3DS seems to use it to export NIF even when the "CivilizationIV" type is select. Weird.

Just tried and yes, it works fine. Thanks. I hadn't installed it in 3DS8, just the CivIV plugin which apparently exports but doesn't import. I'm confused where you say that you use NifTools to export your nifs though - I thought the CivIV plugin was the one to use? I.e, that in the export dialog of ...

I meant that for texturing purpose; i.e, you can't apply different textures to different parts, it has to be in one go.

Oh, and I haven't managed importing a NIF in 3DS yet... just viewing them in NifSkope. What do you use?

Well Blow My Mind!!!! :oops: Go into Railroad! Wiki and go down to the last three in the section called 'Customizing the Game' and you'll see where Dr Frag has done the teaching on this little subject. He states in the third that he hasn't tested it yet, so maybe in seeing this he can verify it. I ...

Has anyone solved that "black loco" problem? I'm having exactly the same issue with a city building (but not when using the same NIF as a decoration, weirdly enough)...

TIA,

K.

One problem solved, an other one appears... ;) I created a simple textured 3D model and exported it as a NIF, then tried using it as "decoration". Worked fine... Then using the "city" XML file, I defined it as a small building (pointing to the same NIF file). The building is used by SMR when laying ...

With 3DS Max 8, the export of a (very simple) NIF file as a decoration worked fine. I'm sure I'll have a lots more problems with more complicated models, but it's nice to have gotten something to work, no matter how simple

Well, I'm going to need some stuff from scratch, but that will be mostly simple graphics (city buildings mostly). The rest I can adapt more or less from existing stuff. The most complex things I'm going to need, if at all possible, is creating out-of-cities "industries" representing ports and airpor...

If anyone feels like making a nice tutorial on how to make new industries, that would be great

Just had a look at the unpacked industry file and it's a bit daunting. Hadn't realised that something like the cattle ranch would be made up of nearly a hundred files...

Hmm, that's a real blocker :? If I can't easily export 3D models to SMR, I can forget about my map... Still, people have managed to produce quite a lot of new 3D graphics for SMR, so what is the trick? Would 3DS Max 8 work better? Oh, and BTW, lots of thanks for that tutorial of yours on using Micro...

Is it possible? I tried using the CivIV plugin, but it fails to load with 3DS Max. As for the NifTools, while it seems to work, it does not seem to include texture in the generated .nif file. Anything else I can try?

TIA,

K.

Not sure I'm getting you - is that US Midwest example you mention something specific to that scenario, or just the "normal" behaviour passengers have in every scenarios? If the second, I know that SMR includes bonus for distance and malus for time in transit, what I want to know is whether I can twe...

Hi, I assume the answer is going to be "no", but is there a way to adjust how distance increases the price of passengers and delays reduces it? And if possible, (dreaming a bit there), can it be set differently for three "classes" of passengers? I.e, on top of regular passengers have some "business ...

If you have the other Europa map installed (by tomasvicente) you may get a conflict. Shame on PaF-Daddy for making the names the same. ;) I do... and the other one works fine. What can I do to solve? Will renaming tomasvicente's map to something else (as in, just renaming its folder) and reinstalli...
