AGS Buildings Pack v2.5

[ag_smith 0]

UPDATE:

Version 2.51 is now uploaded, please download again. Sorry.

I fixed the cfgMaterials classnames, that conflicted with Inustrial Pack. Should be ok now.

Here's a new version of my old City Buildings Pack. No new building models this time..., but this pack gives a whole new look to the old objects.  

Quote[/b] ]

What's new in version 2.5?

- all models -> fixed faces lighting

- sharp & smooth edges where applicable

- many texture fixes and swaps

- additional visual LODs added to all models

- all models should have shadows now

- invisible faces removed (poly count down by 30-60%)

Awesome pack! I like the new buildings, especially in Office Building 2 it looks like there are lights on in offices when you look into the window. Thanks AG!

great update! I always wanted a update for this pack

excellent rework mate

but... there might me some problems with the materials overriding those of the indus pack or the other way around.

workarounds :

use own class names for both categories (cfgtextures and cfgtexturetomaterial) then you can even customize the materials specifically for the buildings.

or, add ags_inds to the required addons, and only make a cfgtexturetomaterial section with specific to ags_build names, and reference each of them with a material from ags_inds in material="#materialname";

but, eh, great work , this new version was needed

[ag_smith 0]

Ooops, how could I missed something that simple...   Shame on me. I will definitely fix it in the next version...

Material definitions are exactly the same (I've been to lazy to create new ones...) so they should work ok for now.  

PS. Again, thanks for mirrors.

[Lupus-WD- 0]

well for now you have changed the materials name but the texturetomaterial having the same name as the ones from the indus pack and calling the material in the ags_inds are overriding it (removing the materials to the indus pack) whereas the materials section has new names but nothing calls them ;)

no big deal... i know it will be easy to fix

for ppl wanting to make an interim fix and who can edit a pbo:

edit materials.hpp

in the class CfgTextureToMaterial section, rename all class f3wx_ags* with something like class f3wx_agsb* for instance

and in the same section edit every

material="#f3wx_ags*"; to material="#f3wx_build_ags*";

if i havent mixed up everything as i am typing from memory, this should work

you should no longer need ags_inds to see materials on the buildings, and if you have ags_inds they will still have specular effects and stuff.

(tell me if it doesnt work, i'll double-check ;) )

edit: BTW * in the bold sections of this messages are not to be typed, they are wildcards and replace digits or letters... just in case

[ag_smith 0]

Arghh, now I see! Fix is on the way! Sorry.  

Ok. Update posted.

Ah, finally an update to this pack. I never really used them before, since, well, they weren't very pretty since they did not have the sharp & smooth edges - but now, it's one zillion times better.

Are you going to release an update of the Harbor Pack as well? Industrial Pack? (or has this been done already, I haven't really been around for a while).

[ag_smith 0]

Harbor Pack update is on the way too.

Industrial Pack had a major update a long time ago (here).

Cool beans some of the huge built up islands that use theses now don't lag anymore.

Thank you very much..

The polish island snivles about mission building2 other than that they look great flying around them. They even look ok around Geia as well as significat lag reduction I can actually run around on it.

Kick-ass Vilas updated his island thus fixing the issue. =)

za malo budynków panie kolego, do mej wyspy by sie przydaly jeszcze sklepy ;)
