Heheh, just remember that if one person has Prugerredhawk-01 in their house and so does another, only one will exist when the importing takes place... best to put only special object instances (posters, random things like a custom bottle model) into your actual house. Or something will have to be figured, anyway.. tatu, if you're diligent enough, you could in theory check for duplicates first and then rename copies to different instance numbers, etc. :P We could ALSO tell everyone to add a sort of number in front of their instance numbers. For example, pick a random one.. 303. So all your new instances would have that number in front, i.e. "Prugerredhawk-30301".

well well, this sounds interesting... I did work on something a while back... (it lacked physics and used a plane crash as a makeshift building) but if I find some free time it might be worth a try...

oooooo, using the plane as your house? That's not a bad idea, go for it. Would give some nice variation to the level, which I think is the whole idea..

One problem that may occur, new pallets and the texture space.
With everyone using their own textures, the pallets may run out, texture space, I suppose may be okay, but could run high.
Unless you've upped the limits.

I'd probably be the main culprit, ended up using a few too many pallets in the past, tried to curb it, but needed the colours :P
Will try not too here though, Will try UVW map it, but last time it did not work properly on a model :cry:

Hmm, my avatars gone walk about, time for a new one

Your avatar (as well as other people's) is currently in limbo... meaning that it's still in the server but it's become dissociated from your use account? What was it like? I could get it back...

It was a tooth, not sure if it was external or uploaded here could have expired on the host, but not much of a problem to need to spend time on, was thinking of changing it, may still have the psd too to upload again.

Well, I've already updated the SWP and PID with new ones, so it should work!

Indeed, the blank ones have a pretty high space limit, and the typical 98 palette limit which I would not try to push. JPDS has just barely been able to stay at 98 with tons of retail imports from all over.. biggest headache for palettes is TC_Isle textures, and/or of course other usermade textures that don't use original palettes..

Dont mean to barge in, but... i'm working on an IT mod, if anybody wants to enlighten some ideas to make it a Trescom Town.
Site B was not meant to be a theme park, but a research station. This is where we did the real work.

:x I told you all, all ready! The PV curse is in a jam jar on my desk, that black swirling cloud is just begging to be unleashed upon TresCom :P Whatever happens cannot be caused by the curse. For example, Hppav's PV level is fine and dandy isn't it?
