For over 3 years now (where has the time gone?) requests for Texture IID ranges have been made in a thread at Simtropolis. For reasons of convenience, I've decided to open up a similar thread here as well. This will not replace the thread at Simtropolis, but will merely be an additional and complementary way to request Texture IID ranges. I will service range requests from both websites.

By request, I have copied the first post of the original thread at Simtropolis (where the meaning of each digit of the texture IID is explained) in the following new thread.

http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4843

If you want to make SC4Tool automatically allocate IIDs from your personal range, do the following:

Create a txt file and save it as Range.txt and put it into the System folder of SC4Tools. Say your range is 0xB2C80000 to 0xB2CFFFFF, it would need to be the following:

0xb2c80000,0xb2cfffff

After that, every time you open the Texture Creator part of SC4Tools, it will only allocate IIDs from your range. I would advise everyone to keep a list of which IIDs you have used, as it will be very useful after a while.

Thanks for bringing this great service to our site

Uhm, why does this thread has a "thumbs down" icon?

BarbyW · « **Reply #3 on:** August 21, 2007, 01:59:15 AM »

Is that better, Andreas?

Andreas · « **Reply #4 on:** August 21, 2007, 07:00:09 AM »

Definitely.

Do I just post here and say can I have a range?

Not planning on making any textures, but am playing round with the tool so thought I may as well get a range to prevent any accidents.

Hi Diggis!

You can certainly have a range

F3500000 to F357FFFF is all yours!

If you want to make SC4Tool automatically allocate IIDs from your personal range, do the following:

Create a txt file and save it as Range.txt and put it into the System folder of SC4Tools

In your case, it would need to be the following:

0xf3500000,0xf357ffff

After that, every time you open the Texture Creator part of SC4Tools, it will only allocate IIDs from your range. I would advise anyone to keep a list of which IIDs you have used, as it will be very useful after a while.

A thank you!

BarbyW · « **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2007, 04:54:45 PM »

BTW Diggis, try to avoid using 0-3 in the fifth digit position unless you are making a set of wealth dependent textures.

Diggis · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2007, 01:01:04 AM »

hehe, I'm not makeing any textures.

this was a pre-emptive decision. If I get to the point I would like to make some, which is possible, I will be back for more answers. Can I post any questions here?

You just did ...

Madeira aka Constantina · « **Reply #11 on:** September 12, 2007, 10:32:42 AM »

to give textures for free? or is it just a range so i can (if i can) make my own pretty patterns to make my cities look nice. you are generous, so i like a range or free textures please (whatever you call it, yet i am new to texture making so i like to know how to do it and what program i need)

do i need a separate range for networking textures?

UPDATE

because of the two post rule i will reply here. Diggis, thank you. now for the range. they say it is vital to avoid conflict. you're right.

Diggis · « **Reply #12 on:** September 12, 2007, 11:42:00 AM »

You need to download the SC4tool. There is a thread here with links to it. Then you request a range, and enter is as per the instructions above.

Links to sc4tool

You need a range for yourself so that your textures don't clash with other peoples.

Geoff-

Thanks for bringing the index request over here as well! I'd like to request a range as well, please. I'm planning on producing some stuff that's not related to transit networks (at least, directly).

Thanks,
Alex (Tarkus)

Madeira aka Constantina · « **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2007, 01:20:14 PM »

minor change of circumstances i would now like to request a range for both sides network and non-network, directly. thank you.

Tarkus · « **Reply #15 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:55:17 AM »

Madeira, transit network textures are actually assigned through a different method by the NAM Team, depending on the network type and other factors (they always begin with "5"). The Instance ID ranges are in a bit of flux right now, so when you have some network textures ready, just let me know and we'll find some room for you.

Hope that helps!

I am also going to need my own Texture ID range... ST is down at the moment, so I can't access the post detailing the existing ranges. Someone help please?

geoffhaw · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2007, 04:31:59 PM »

Well, I've done it again and been slow to reply. Apologies to all.

Tarkus, your range is F3580000 to F35FFFFF
M4346 your range is F3600000 to F367FFFF
Madeira, I thought you already had a range from way back! It's D7000000 to D74FFFFF

M4346 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2007, 04:13:56 AM »

Thank you Geoffhaw! Noted!
