SAM - Street Addon Mod

[jplumbley]

SAM BETA v1 has been locked.  Thank you to all who have downloaded the mod from both the STEX and the LEX, combined we reached over 3500 downloads between the two sites in 3 months.  Not too bad may I say for a BETA v1.   

SAM BETA v2 will be ready sometime in the near future.  Not tomorrow, thats for sure.  It will be ready when it is ready, I am just taking a initiative to prevent as many conflict issues as possible for when it is uploaded.

Thought I might give a teaser of what I built in Auckland using the SAM plus Add On





Have to say the Palpatine 4 thumbs up  for the creators for giving Solaria a more realistic look

OK, Little gift for you all.  Sorry I don't have better pics at the moment, still packaging stuff up, but here is a teaser.  Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to get some more up.

Great teasers there! Looking forward to it.

Don't waste your time with teasers, this will only lead to heaps of malfunctioning keyboards due to excessive drool exposure.

[Diggis]

Jason specifically asked me to post some.  I'm hoping to compile the DAT for the cobblestones tomorrow and that will make you all drool!

[jplumbley]

Hehehe... no stopping with the teasers!!  Teasers are the best way to make sure everything works, shhh dont tell anyone else though we did find a small mistake last night.  I gave Diggis the wrong IIDs for a couple of pieces    Thats ok fixed now!! 

[Diggis]

A couple of pieces!?!

8 bloody pieces, 4 wealths a piece and 5 zooms each!  Thats 160 textures with the wrong IID, times the 2 sets that are finished! 

[Shadow Assassin]

Easily fixed with SC4Tool, Diggis. All you actually needed was 8x4x2

[jplumbley]

Even easier to fix with iLives Reader....  TGI Editor, edit two digits, select the 4 wealths and and 5 zooms of the texture and click apply... BAM, 20 textures modified to have the proper IID.

[Shadow Assassin]

Speaking of iLives' Reader, I'm stuck with 087 (and as such, no TGI editor), because 093 won't work on my computer.

[rickmastfan67]

FIGHT!!!!

[jplumbley]

Really... well then that just sucks SA.   The Path Files I created for SAM I copied from the original SC4Paths editted the IIDs to suit one of my sets, then I copy/pasted the file for each set and then editted the Texture Variation value in each set.  It took me a whopping 20 mins to do all the Paths with the first 10 mins spent on the first set.

[Diggis]

I've had problems with adding letters into the IID.  I've emailed you the files, but I couldn't change the IID's for the OWR intersections.

[jplumbley]

Letters must be written in CAPITALS only... lower case letters are not acceptable for the TGI Editor.

[Diggis]

Ahh, ok.  Thanks will try that. 

Edit: Appears to work.  Funny it only accepts capitals when it only displays lowercase.

[jplumbley]

I know that is a little silly.  But hey, thats the way is has to be.  It seems as though progress has been coming along quite well, I will get onto the other textures when you send them to me and I get home from work.  Thanks for all the help buddy, without you we wouldnt be this far, Id still be fumbling around with getting the textures together.

BTW... SAM has just past 16,000 views today!!
