Snap, something else I don't know how to do. Ok, off to learn about importing semi-gobals.
Thank you.

EDIT: Hah! WIN! Thanks bunches. :: sing-song :: I just imported my first semiglobal....
Ok, back to task.

Re?-Edit: Ok, I did everything in the tutorial for telling sims not to walk there. Then it dawned on me, that, though useful and needed later, it prolly won't fix my original problem. How do I tell other objects that they can't inhabit my new square either?

For most objects it should fix the problem. If it doesn't though, then you need to change some placement flags for that tile:

Fantastic tutorial Echo! Really appreciate it!

I've encountered a problem though. The tile work in the game, meaning I was able to extend a 2 tile object to a 4 tile one, but I can't place the object anywhere. I don't know why I cant place it anywhere. Any suggestions?

That can happen with objects which have complicated objf files - if you duplicate the wrong one, then you can end up with unusable tiles. What object did you base your work on, and are you able to post it here?

Yea, it was complicated. I cloned the 2 tile floor TV. I will post it when I get back home. Thanks for your quick reply!

Edit: I attached the file I think I might of cloned the wrong Object Data, I got really confused.

Okay, some quick thoughts:
- You've got more OBJf files than OBJd files... Err?
- The instance numbers aren't in order, and they don't match up. Each OBJd should have the same instance number as one OBJf, and vice verse. The numbers go up in hex, that is, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D...
- The OBJfs for 41A7, 41A8, 41AC and 41AD all point to BHAVs which don't exist. Did you at any point import BHAVs then delete them? Which tv was it that you cloned originally? It may have already been a bit broken and the extra tiles have just made it more so.

In this case, the best OBJfs to clone would be the one that matches up with "Television - Floor - Expensive - Right", since that tile does pretty much nothing but take up space (which is exactly what you want).

Thanks Echo! I'll have to try and fix it. I was really confused,lol. The original object had 4 OBjF's, 2 of them linked to OBJd files that didn't exist. And it also didn't link to one of the OBJds. So basically half of the OBjF files were pointless to me. I didn't import any BHAVs and delete them. I did add "[prim 0x0002] Expression (My 0x0008 (flags) Set Flag flag# Literal 0x0008 (Do NOT Use Maya Model Footprint))" to the Function - Init. Also added to Function - Init was "[prim 0x0002] Expression (My 0x0004 (allowed height flags) Set Flag flag# Literal 0x0001 (ground))" , to try and fix the ground problem. I originally cloned the Soma 44" PancakeTek Television. Very confusing. I appreciate your help a lot! :D

Do I have to clone a BHAV to link it to the new OBJfs?

I have a problem. I'm trying to make a new clothing rack with a mesh from H&M clothing display which has 2 tiles.

But my problem is this, I've followed the tutorial, and it doesn't work. The object have 3 objd files originally, and all of them has Multi-tile master ID set to 2. I added 2 more objd files along with the objf (all of them has multi-tile master ID 2).

The green squares now appear correctly, but the sim still walks through it. I've tried everything suggested in this thread but none worked. I even tried editing the footprint in CRES, didn't work. I also have tried setting all the multi-tile master ID to 1 but still no dice . Any ideas?

Okay, I'm sorry if I'm a complete dunce and missed it in the thread.

I'm trying to -shrink- the footprint and I'm not really sure what to mess with - I'm afriad its beyond anything I've messed with to day, and I don't know where to begin. Right now I've got a multi-storied waterfall cloned from the tiki monkey lava fountain thing. And to place the waterfall on any part of the lot close to the edge is impossible right now, because of the three rows of footprint.

Echo, is it possible to make tiles that are seperated? Like, one object having, say, 4 tiles but they are not beside eachother, they are sort of like this :
X|_|X
_|_|_
X|_|X
I hope that's easy enough to understand The X's, if it isn't obvious, stand for where I'm interested in putting the tiles, and the others are just open for walking overtop of by sims :D

Yep. If you're using this technique, then you need to make the OBJfs for the 'X' tiles use one init BHAV which sets the tiles as unwalkable, and make the '_' tiles use a different init BHAV which sets the tiles as walkable.

Oops! I'm sorry! I don't have H&M, so I was hoping someone else might have been able to help. If you're still interested I can try to take a look at it now, but I don't think I'll be able to load it into my game to test it.

I'm nearly ashamed of asking that but I just can't find the ressource tab (I think it's its name) anymore in SimPE 0.72. What I'm trying to do is to change instance numbers.

Thanks in advance

Ben,

That is still the name of that tab. It is normally located in the lower, left hand corner of the program screen. If it isn't there, go up to the "Window" pull down menu and find Resourse in that list. Make sure there is a check next to it. If there isn't, select it and your tab should appear in the lower left hand corner OR along the right hand side.

OK, problem solved. In fact there was no Resource tab anywhere (even in the Window menu) because I unchecked something during the installation. I've just reinstalled SimPE without unchecking too many lines and the Resource tab is back.

Thank you for your help Kevin this really was a silly question Lol

Now, I'm having a problem with a wall lamp I'm trying to add a new tile to. I can place it on a lot and play, but when I save and leave the lot, I can't enter in it again. In fact the lot loading never comes to an end : the hourglass keeps on turning and turning...

I know that the problem is due the add-a-tile procedure because I made some tests and it only occurs after adding the tile.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ! (package attached now removed)

Hmm. For the OBJf which goes with the lead tile, leave everything exactly as is. For the other two OBJf files, remove all the lines except for Main and Init. (Especially the "Load", which is probably the one causing problems). If that doesn't fix it, try starting your game up in testing mode - you'll probably get more information about what in particular is breaking.

It works !! I removed the lines in the OBJf files and it worked thanks a lot Echo !

Hi all
I was trying the tutorial to change a 1 tile window into a 2 tile window; I have added new GUIDS, I have added the obj functions, I have checked the new functions and new squares match, adjusted the BHAV, but I get a red square instead of a green one and cannot place object without move objects on - can you help? Fixed that - i checked the OBJ functions and changed semi globals - now I am struggling to place my wallmask?

Now using MaryLou's fantastic templtes - but I would still like to know what I probably missed.

Thanks

Is there any reason why you couldn't just clone a two tile window and import your mesh? It'd be a *lot* easier.
