what am I doing?
Okay, so I'm posting this publicly, not because I think most of you will necessarily be interested in my project, but mainly so that you all know I'm alive and well ... and this project has been consuming a lot of my free time! Also, for my mom who likes to know what her kids are doing! (Hi, Mom!)
I've mentioned my enjoyment for SimCity4 a long time ago. While reading through some forums and projects recently, I stumbled across something that sparked my interest dealing with creating items that can be plopped in the game. I realize that probably means nothing if you haven't played the game. Long story short, I'm creating ploppable utility poles. Yes, I'm a geek ... but aren't we all?! Anyway, I've basically started in the third phase of my project. Phase 1 was creating the items in a 3-D tool called the Building Architect Tool -- we refer to the creations as BATs. Phase 2 was creating the icons that show up in the game's menu. Phase 3 is converting all of my BATs (over 300!) into ploppable items for the game.
So I just wanted to post a couple pics to show my very first ploppable BAT, which is a 3-wire distribution pole. These are in-game screen shots I did as a test (the building is the game's default library):
I forgot to turn off the game's grid before snapping the pictures!
