CLONE Templates - Windows *UPD 23 JUNE 2007 - BUGFIX
7 Attachment(s)
23 JUNE 2007 - BUGFIX There was a problem with the light of the 3-tiles templates (the windows cloned using those templates needed OFB to work properly). Now the bug has been fixed: please redownload the 3-tiles templates (the new versions are included in the "ML_TEMPLATE_3Tile-Window.rar" and in the "ML_TEMPLATEs_SET.rar"). All the 3-tiles windows created so far using the old templates suffer for this bug: I'm afraid you have to re-clone them (the 3-tiles only! The other ones had no problems whatsoever). Sorry for the inconvenience. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WHY THESE TEMPLATES Creating new windows is not always a simple task, particularly if we want our window to be compatible with the base game and have the automatic diagonal. Simpe, currently, is not able to create a correct and functional clone: many non-intuitive changes are to be made by hand. Learn "How to create windows, make new mesh and new mask" by following this TUTORIAL by IgnorantBliss FEATURES OF THESE TEMPLATES
FILES AVAILABLE
Unzip the files wherever you want; though the Templates are perfectly working files, it's not advisable to unzip them in the Downloads folder: better place them in a temporary "work" folder. TERMS OF USAGE OF THE TEMPLATES Anyone can freely clone my Enhanced Templates to create his own windows, and can post them on any site. It's only required to state that "this object is based on an Enhanced Template by MaryLou", and post a link to this thread. DO NOT REPOST OR REDISTRIBUTE THE TEMPLATES THEMSELVES! |

HOW TO USE THE TEMPLATES
FINISHED! The clone is ready to be used for your custom window. You only have to edit and import your new meshes (GMDC), textures e mask (TXTR). If you need assistance for this task, read the tutorial "How to create windows, make new mesh and new mask" by IgnorantBliss. If you want to create an entire set of windows, with different shapes but all enslaved to ONLY one Master, you can use the "Special Templates" (they are built using the "Repository" technique, as explained in this TUTORIAL by JWoods). |
SPECIAL TEMPLATE FOR SET
If you want to create a Set with ONLY one Master, you can use the Special Templates, whose files are already all arranged to be link correctly.

Wow. Thank you...
|
Amazing work MaryLou , Thank you so much for these .. As a window maker I really appreciate the time it took to get this set together .....
|
Thank you MaryLou! :D

MaryLou,
Its been said before, but not by me, and when I learn something that truly helps me move to another level, I like to say "Thanks". I had avoided the "Repository" concept because it seemed over my head still, but your window set gave me the chance to start seeing it in action. I had been working on a 2 story window and door set for days, but just couldnt seem to get the two tile and four tile windows to look the same. (Always a subtle difference in how the frames were lit, even though all the texture settings matched) This solved all my problems and I now have a really nice set of windows to share. :D So thank you very much!! Jimbo- |
These are marvelous! Thanks to your ingenuity, I might yet complete a project before Sims 3 comes out!
Thank you, MaryLou! |
What SimPe version do I need for those templates,please?
The one I'm using goes up to pets and it works fine with objects, but not with windows. Thanks so much. |
It's always better using the last version of SimPE.
In any case you have to choose, in the Object Workshop, the option "Open" and browse to the file on your machine. You don't have to click on the button Start and wait the load of SimPE, the custom files will not load if you don't set the custom path of their folder in the "Sistem Folders" of SimPE. |
I've been doing that and I followed Numenors and IgnorantBliss tuts.
But in game all I get is the frame and a pink wall. The wallmasks don't cut through the wall. Someone suggested to update SimPe,since I'm using the one up to Pets. I'll try that and see if it works. Thank you so much MaryLou. |
Can you tell me please, which template did you tried?
|
The 2tile one.
I don't have the files anymore, I deleted them all and started over with a maxis window. Same problem,I posted in the Repair forum. Thanks MaryLou. |
Rename the OBJD files?
Just tried my hand at windows and must say your templates made the job way easier than I had imagined windows would be. One little and probably stupid question though. Is it safe to rename the OBJD files from "SingleWindow -TEMPLATE- Straight" to something more reflective of my actual window? I am going to clone the window I created versus using the templates for the rest of my set since I removed the glass texture and added a subset and they aren't all going to be straight/single etc.
Thanks for the great templates. |
Pink walls...
Hi Mary Lou,
I got the same problem like Dee (but with the single window template): I just followed your description to clone the template (updating names and guids), all other items I left untouched. I get a pink wall around the window, and also the mask has no effect. I didn't find a solution for this posted at MTS2. Btw, I use SimPE 0.68.2.31354. Thx, ArEb |
