AuzObjects

[GarryG]

Glad you all like this idea for the Menu .. no idea why I not thought of it sooner. Maybe before I was younger and learning and now older and suppose to be wiser.

I not sure if these changes will destroy a saved game ..

See if can get them ready by the weekend.

Cheers

[GarryG]

Making progress on the new Menu system for the objects and finding a few old errors as well.

I got no idea if these changes will effect a saved game, so if you have a good game going best not to down load these new files until you finish the game your playing now.

Changes that I have made or hope to make besides the new Menu.

* The AuzBeachObjects and AuzBeachObjects32 have been combined into one set. (You will no longer need AuzBeachObjects32).
* Some objects in the AuzRattRoadsObjects (fences, power poles and animals) been move to their respective object set.
* Improve the graphics in AuzWaterObjects to the Jetty.
* The only new addition to the sets at the moment is people fishing from boats.

* Will issue the AuzIndustryObject set again, main so I can add the Mine Shafts that are in the AuzObjectAddOns). The makers of FIRS and CHIPS are still allowed to add any or all of these to their set.
* Hoping I can move objects from AuzObjectAddOns and remove this file.
* Also hoping I can combine the AuzCreeks and AuzLandscapes (problem being between them they have 9 to many files, so hope can find another suitable place for them.

Anyway, it my bedtime .. will work on this again tomorrow.

Cheers

There are now 13 Object sets.

EDITED:

I made a few boo boos with this set. How come we find our mistakes after we make them and not before we make them

In the Auz: Houses on Water are also some Jetties and the Seaplanes. I meant to separate them so that the menu be like this.

Auz: Seawalls
Auz: Parks and Recreation
Auz: Houses on Water
Auz: Wharves
Auz: Jetty
Auz: Seaplanes

Also if t=you look in the Houses on Water are some Beach Buts that goes on the coast shore line. I had the animation for the water wrong.

This is the updated version.

That the lot.

There is no AuzLandscapeObjects and AuzBeachObjects32 .. both of those no longer required as they been transferred into other object sets.

WARNING As I mentioned before I do not know if these will create problems with saved games as these are designed to replace ALL previous object sets.

All these object sets have new Menu. All sets have had new pieces added from other object sets.

Hope you all like the idea of this new Menu.


THE END

[GarryG]

When you down load those 13 object files .. depending what order you have them in your game how the Object Selection Menu will be displayed.

But it will be something like this.

EDITED:

Made a boo boo with the auzWaterAddOns .. forgot to split the "Auz: Houses on Water" as it had Seaplanes and Jetties in.

An update has been uploaded in that section above.

Thank you .. appreciate your comment.

If any one things that any of the "Object Selection Menu" could be improved, given a better name or find items in the wrong section, please let me know.

Had a PM for one confusing section.

In the "AuzCarParksAndSubwayOverlays" I have "Auz: Road Ways" these roads are designed for the car Park and to connect to the Buses and Loading Zones.

Next issue of that set if no objections will rename it "Auz: Car Park Roads"

They can be used else where as they are animated, but some pieces can be confusing.

Yesterday I experimented on animating the farm animals. Make a tile with 6 sheep on it and they appear to move to different positions every few seconds.

Was succcessful so hope to re-do all the animals to animate.

I also experimented with the object trucks so they too are animated and change every 30 seconds..

By doing that it allowing me just use 4 IDs instead of 32 for how I had the trucks previously. This also has allowed extra ground tiles under the trucks.

Hope to do more other types of trucks now, but not necessary animated. We shall see.

While doing those trucks also been experimenting if I turn off the animation what will happen. I can now code my object sets to do something similar to what ISR/DWE Object sets allow .. where you keep clicking and the objects change.

Some objects have different graphics when you place them multiple times on the same spot. They did this to reduce the number of IDs. So I be able to reduce the number of IDs as well.

Until yesterday I did not know how to code my objects to work that same way, otherwise would have done so sooner.

So I going to re-code as many of the objects I can like they did with the ISR/DWE sets.
