Title: Lost Treasures of the BAT Gods... Can You Help?
Post by: Serkanner on May 16, 2007, 01:56:16 PM
I have managed to contact the creator of the "Rathaus", ( http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=835.100 ) Meister-z by email. I have asked Alex ( meister-z ) if his creations are available elsewhere. Apparently they aren't and also Alex himself have lost his work after a hard disk crash. I am however very happy that I can announce that Alex has given permission to upload his creations to the exchange here on sc4devotion ... of course with credit due there where it belongs.

We do have one problem though ... the missing files. I do have the Rathaus myself and Alex has told me he has found the Victoria Building again. But thats about it at the moment.

After some web searching I found a number of pictures that portray Alex'work. I would therefor request all members here who recognize one of the buildings and if you have it in your collection to contact me here by pm. We then can collect all the files, check them for errors and add them to the BSC Custody collection.

Title: Re: Meister-z and his lost work
Post by: Serkanner on May 17, 2007, 03:15:40 AM
ajax_amsterdam ... as I have written in my PM I do not have permission to send meister-z's work by email and I also believe that is not the way it is supposed to be. Also, when you read my first post you will notice that I will try to collect all the files, check them for faults and then upload them ( permitted that the board admin allows me of course ). This means that you and others will have to have some more patience. You know that: geduld is een schone zaak  ... or patience is a virtue. Be assured though that we are working on it.

Hey guys. Iam glad to see that my buildings gets big interest in the community. And i see that some buildings where found.
My wish is that some buildings gets growable and have a good price and right influence.
So have no fear to fix it if there are some misstakes.
After my Diploma i think i will work again for sim city. I see the community is still alive.

Greetings

Wow ... this is a great suprise! I am glad you took the plunge and registered as a member meister-z. As we discussed in private your buildings are still in use and appreciated by the community. The files will be checked and corrected where needed, and it is possible to make them growables or functional ploppable as well. I will keep in touch with you about that.

Firstly @ Serkanner , you can be proud of this initiative .The kind of initiave which make me a little more proud to be a member of SC4Devotion . :thumbsup: . Having only The Rathaus & Victoria Gëbaude , I can't help you anymore ...

@ Meister-Z , it's a glory day to have news from you ... so I can assert you here that I'm using your BATs since many years . A warming Thank You !

Now I would like in the same way , from our german members particularly , see the same initiative about Torre-mayor ... I know this BATer has left the community since a long time and the downloading links have disappeared from Insims.de or Ingame.de ( I'm only sure that was a german site ).
I don't know either the number of missing BATs from him , I have only two of them in my plugins ; "Opera Bastille PARIS" and "The Mirage" , I know he has BATed too the "MetLife Building /Pan AM " .I even don't know if  it's possible to contact him ... ::)

Some pictures (these are not original Lots , so just look at the BATs )

Great idea, I will try to contact him :thumbsup:

@ barnatom

I think the Victoria Building was once loaded up because so many people cried out for it at ST and most people didn't know inSims so someone took the initiative, unfortuatly no credit given to Meister-Z.

The Metlife Building you found though isn't the one torre-mayor created once ago. His was actually just plain dark gey and overscaled an lacked most details (though, for his first BAT once upon a time it was great).
Title: Re: Meister-z and his lost work
Post by: Serkanner on May 17, 2007, 10:48:37 AM
Praiodan is right. The current version on the STEX is a pirated version without the consent of Alex.

Torre Mayor was one of the best german Bat'ers at my worktime.

And thanks to all her for the lovely welcoming on this Forum  :)

Fred ... by all means, change the topic name to a more general sounding one.

For those awaiting news of the Meister-z files; The Agentur AB has just been uploaded and you can fetch it HERE! (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=825) in its original form. Besides the Agentur we have three more to share and these will also be made available within one or two days ... time permitted.

Oops ... here is a double post, but I think I will be excused.

Many people have requested the upload of the Rathaus made by Meister-z. The original file is now available on the LEX and you can get it: HERE! (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=827)

Enjoy!

@praiodan : I've read your reply about the request for Pudong International Information Port by Torre-mayor . I know that you didn't receive any reply from Torre-mayor to your PM , and I don't think anybody can join him since he has left the community , years ago ... I've got this BAT too , and receive myself PMs requesting me to send his exceptional BATs . Waiting for the result of your initiative , so far I didn't accept to share clandestinely ...

We have to find a legal way to solve this . Isn't it possible that an admin ( to be unbiased ) of SC4Devotion collect these files and upload them to the LEX with Torre-mayor as only creator name ?  ()what()

Without that kind of solution , I'm afraid that I could resist a long time more ...

Sounds like a good idea to me. I have some of Torre-Mayor's work on my HD, so if you need a specific file, maybe I can help.

Post by: Badsim on June 18, 2007, 02:29:01 PM
And your reply (as a german eminent member ) sounds good too , Andreas .  ;)

I think that it can be useful too to know for which reason these BATs have disappeared from inSims.de since the forum software of this site has changed ... need someone speaking perfect german , like you do ... ;D
Title: Re: Lost Treasures of the BAT Gods... Can You Help?
Post by: Andreas on June 18, 2007, 02:37:13 PM
Actually, I don't really know why inSims.de has disappeared. It was part of the "inGame.de" network, which operates several gaming sites, and maybe it was started as some "competitor" to SimsZone.de back when SC4 was released. I guess some of the staff members lost interest or had RL issues, they had to shut down the site, but kept the forum, since there are still some loyal user over there.
Title: Re: Lost Treasures of the BAT Gods... Can You Help?
Post by: praiodan on June 19, 2007, 05:19:03 AM
I've wrote torre-mayor twice now (via email) but still got now answer and I now think it's kinda hopeless to contact him.

I've also had quite the same idea Andreas had some time ago but I was unsure if it would be legal though (maybe gotta ask David?!). If this would be possibile though, I'm sure I could also find some older stuff of his on my HD.

P.S.: As inSims.de has always been pretty small I think the main page with the download base access was closed down because of too few visitors maybe. Or they deleted the files from the servers. Could have many reasons I guess.

Post by: FromTheAshes on June 23, 2007, 08:29:02 AM
@Andreas: Right, the most popular members left because of those personal issues you talked about. AmyLeeFreak appeared again some months ago, the others seem to be inactive forever. Here's one quote from torre, I think it was his last post on insims.de:
QuoteTut mir leid, dass ich so lange nichts mehr von mir hören ließ und so mir-nichts-dir-nichts diesem Forum, der Community und somit auch ISAT den Rücken kehrte. Mein letztes Posting am 14.02.2005 fand genau an dem Tag statt, als ich mir "World of Warcraft" kaufte, was ich auch noch immer täglich spiele. Mit "World of Warcraft" endete für mich leider auch "Sim City" und irgendwann später auch alles, was damit zusammen hing.
For the english comunity: torre-mayor plays world of warcraft since it has been released. This is why he lost contact to simcity and everything arround it.

@Lars: I don't think inSims is that small... With ~5000 members it's one of the biggest german Sims&SimCity comunities. Of course, simszone is much bigger, but when they closed inSims.de, it was very well visited. Dunno why they closed it, I didn't work for inSims those days.

Hi !
I don't know if the Las Vegas hotel "The Mirage" is missing. It was made by Torre-mayor. I found a lost (?) link while trying to find the Opéra Bastille.
Here's the link : The Mirage (http://ingame.ingame.de//filebase/index.php?action=file&cid=274&fid=1474)

I hope you'll upload the Opera soon! I've been looking for it everywhere. Besides, Torre-mayor files are partially online so i don't think he'll mind if you just provide "working links".
Title: Re: Lost Treasures of the BAT Gods... Can You Help?
Post by: BarbyW on September 11, 2007, 08:15:53 AM
I am having problems with how to deal with the torremayor works. The lots as provided by torremayor are pure landmarks and there are no inherent problems with them so far as I can see so there is nothing to "correct". I shall upload them as is from the original zip files so anyone who wishes can use the models from there to make their own lots. I am prepared to provide base lots from the X Tool for ploppables with jobs and growables for anyone who wishes. It seems that there is no way to contact torremayor so they will be uploaded by the BSC Custodian until he can be contacted.
If anyone has any comments on this before they are uploaded please make them here. I will leave it until the weekend to upload which gives you all  plenty of time to comment.

I already told him, that he and his BAT's are still very popular among the community and of course remember him ;)

Unfortuatly he made clear, that he doesn't want to have to do anymore with SC, so he won't come back I think, which is a real shame, but at least he was so genorous to give full permission to BSC for his BATs :)

NOOOOOO, let me know which basic lots you want - ie CO$$ for Bank of America. landmark with CS$$$ jobs for Pearl Continental etc - and I will do the basic lots and send them to you. I shall epxect to see them appear in the LEX candidacies thread for upload though ;D
I have four more individual files to upload and then will post the three model only packs as we have permission to do this.

I made a decision after receiving requests for basic lots. I am making a set of basic lots for most of the models for CO$$, CO$$$, CS$$ and CS$$$ and will upload them later today. I will also include a ploppable with CS$$ jobs for The Mirage and the Opera Bastille. As most of the buildings fall into the "megalot" category - i.e. they are over 6x6 - I have allowed one extra tile in each direction and the growth stages reflect that. If you want to change the lot sizes you will have to do that in Reader as LE will not allow a growable larger than 6x6 - see my tutorial on Making a Megalot if you have problems. If you change the lot size then the growth stage may need to change as well so let me know if you need any changes making.
If you want ploppables making into Rewards you will need to send me the finished lot with what you want as conditions for it to be rewarded. I can then do the script and other modding and send the lot back to you.

Thank you! :) I would love to have a go at LOTting those beauties, of course, only after I've finished the O'Neil Condos! :P

Will you make the Opéra Bastille a CS$$$ maybe? :)

Lots uploaded for whoever wants to finish them. They are all modded and have the building desc embedded into the lot file so it is important you keep them in the root of plugins and Save when you have finished. If you don't you will lose the building desc, the new file will look for it and you will end up with a bown box. $%Grinno$%

Barby, I was wandering if you will be uploading all of marrast's lots here at the LEX.  I know BSC is already the costodian of his stuff,  and his BATs and lots are amazing also.

They are in my queue to be done eventually. I do have marrast's(now known as Criquette) full permission to clean up and update his work and upload here but haven't had time yet. Also with them still being available at ST there wasn't a rush $%Grinno$% I did manage to get the underpasses here so if there is anything special you want, let me know and I'll put that to the top of the queue.
One day I may play SC4 again ;)

Barby...........jmdude1, was asking about the MTel lot by marrast.  I wanted to post the link in my Md for him but STEX or I am having some problems right now.  And I'm sure it would be better to DL from this site for trackabilty.   ;)

Alternatively you can find it here -> Marrast M TEL (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16688)  :thumbsup:

If it would save Barby some effort, then maybe you can be satisfied with that for the time being?  ;D

Firstly thank you to BarbyW and those who have sent their files to her . I'm glad to be able to complete my personal Torremayor's BATs collection . I just read the comments on the LEX about dependancies issues for the Lot of The Mirage . This isn't the original Lot but mine , one of my first work with LE years ago . I never used this Lot since and would never have uploaded myself as I consider it as bad !  %wrd

But ... you can keep it there ....

For memories , you can compare mine with SAC's one : I was far from her skill and taste . ;)

Chrisim from the SFBT was working on a complete revamp of the good old underpasses by Marrast over the last weeks, which have been extended far beyond the original set. Based on the original lots and CJMarshall's paths, Chrisim updated all lots with new and more accurate paths, updated lot stats and consistent menu icons/descriptions.

This set contains a total of 13 different lots, including two all-new underpass models for streets and one-way roads, which have been crafted by hand, using the Reader and a graphics program for creating new textures. Nearly all remaining issues have been fixed as best as possible. Also included is an MML mod for the set, and Euro textures for the road underpass.

The lots come both in English and German, and we also created an extensive readme file for the set that includes an illustrated tutorial on how to use the lots. The following lots are included in the set:

Original Underpasses by Marrast (modded):

- Marrast_Road_Rail_Underpass_ad746f7c.SC4Lot - Road under rail
- Marrast_Avenue_Rail_Underpass_2d76b8d4.SC4Lot - Avenue under rail
- Marrast_Avenue_Avenue_Underpass_8d8432fc.SC4Lot - Avenue under avenue

Original Underpasses by Zilfondel (modded):


- Marrast_Road_DualRail_Underpass_0db11e2b.SC4Lot - Road under dual rail
- Marrast_Avenue_DualRail_Underpass_0db1320e.SC4Lot - Avenue under dual rail

Additional Underpasses by the SFBT:

- Marrast_Road_Highway_Underpass_d3d8bbe3.SC4Lot - Road under ground highway
- Marrast_Avenue_Highway_Underpass_8ef308d3.SC4Lot - Avenue under ground highway
- Marrast_Street_Rail_Underpass_869325b5.SC4Lot - Street under rail
- Marrast_Street_DualRail_Underpass_b4228164.SC4Lot - Street under dual rail
- Marrast_Street_Highway_Underpass_d422a7d7.SC4Lot - Street under ground highway
- Marrast_Oneway_Rail_Underpass_6bdabf44.SC4Lot - One-way road under rail
- Marrast_Oneway_DualRail_Underpass_c8e5e5d1.SC4Lot - One-way road under dual rail
- Marrast_Oneway_Highway_Underpass_154c02e6.SC4Lot - One-way road under ground highway

- Marrast_Underpasses_Paths.dat - Path files

List of changes and additions:

- new models for street and one-way road underpasses
- Euro textures
- fixed night light problems for Zilfondel's lots
- path files completely revamped
- fixed prop ID conflict with smoncrie's hole digger lots
- new street underpasses created by copying and compressing the S3D models, creation of new textures
