Industries Are Us! by Building Blocks Are Us!
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:14 amBuilding Blocks Are Us is happy to announce the offical grand opening of Industries Are Us! Our initial post of Industries consists of 14 new and pre-used Industries. We have attempted to write them to be edited for use in any map, for any thing, within reason.
A simple explanation of just how these work:
The first line, the name, can be changed to anything you wish, as long as it doesn't already exist in your map. While Industries can be left in the maps XML, remember, Goods cannot.
Scale can be adjusted to your liking.
The next five are for placement. Tho some are not needed, they have been included because past experiance has shown this to be best. Again, adjust them to your preference.
Cost can be set to your liking.
Production.... In some both Input and Output are set to None. Remember, one of the two can be set to None, but not both. These and the ratio can be changed, and more Resource sets can be added. Be sure to put the Goods you add, and the TrainCars that handle them, into your map.
Disply names can be changed.
The Auction and Report images are set, and unless for some reason you want to create your own, should be left. In the Pre-uesd Industries we have created Images for any that either had none, were not of the Industry or were not done to the game specs.
The icon, while supplied, can be changed if you so choose.
As to the Annexes:
The first line, the name, can be changed to anything you wish, as long as it matches the name of the Industry you wish to use it with. While Annexes can be left in the maps XML, remember, Goods cannot.
InfluenceRadius can be increased or decreased, depending on how close you want the player to have to get.
BuildCost can be changed to your liking.
fScale will determine the size of the Annex
The Building Blocks have the needed folder attached.
There may be changes made in these at some later time, a change being the Industries appearance or a different structure. As to whether the original Building Blocks will be changed or not depends on how much of a change is done.
As this thread will consist of the Industry Building Blocks, a new thread for questions and comments on them, Industries Are Us! Write About them here.., has been created here: viewtopic.php?p=189#p189. If it is all done in this thread, future Building Blocks could get lost in the posts.
Welcome to Industries Are Us....Please empty your wallets at the door.........
