London MOD N

[HPA]

Big ben looks really better with this new texture, good job alex
You should reduce the size to 512

[HummersRock]

Yeah, you want them to be no bigger then 512x512, in my opinion, and if they can look almost as good at half that size (256x256) then use that size.

[Franch88]

Very nice work with the new texture, it's very detailed.

Some of my model's textures are not square and are larger than 512x512, please tell me if it could be the problem.

Of course that's a big problem. You always have to use textures with sizes of 64, 128, 256 and 512 pixel, for width and/or height.

Wow! Thanks so much for all of your answers. IT WAS the problem. Now it works in the game. Here's pictures of my Big Ben/Parliament in the game. For now, there's just the Clock tower and the right side of the parliament that are finished.

Was a really banal problem, because is almost sure that simply exporting a building .pkg file with the same name of the object that you want to replace you'll sudden get it to work in-game.
Looks really nice, keep it up finishing all the textures, and nice look at night. Great work!
Do you plan to make a mod of this change? Maybe with also the underground train that you've already changed? What about give this to Dummiesboy for his MM2 Revisited v3 mod?

[Zac4084]

Very nice. (^_^) You should make more and make it into a single mod, and / or hand it over to Dummiesboy like Franch said. Good work.

[matt1314]

Wow, looks totally great! Maybe, if you could lighten the entire Big Ben, would look more realistic.

[Riva]

This night version rocks a lot, good job Alex.

[Alex27]

Thanks to all of your comments!
Don't worry, I'll finish my mod. I'll post new shots soon.

[zoot]

wow, that looks way better than the original in the game. nice work!
that would be a nice mod!

[Alex27]

Thanks.
I think I'll do my own mod with that (No offense, dummiesboy).
For now, here's a real picture of the London Parliament so you can compare it to my Parliament.

Don't worry, I never asked. Looks amazing though, keep up the great work!

[Zac4084]

Must be hard to edit those, good work, I'll wait for more ss.

[Alex27]

Thanks for all of the great comments. I would like to know if there's a way to animate the clock textures so I could make the Big Ben clock hand's turning. Thanks again.

[Franch88]

Of course, in MM2 is possible make animated textures for the cars and also the cities PKG objects. To do this you haven't to use the same file names of the original Big Ben textures, otherwise it won't work because of the presence of the original file in the game .ar textures file, so use a new filenames for the new textures.
To make them you need copied of the textures named with the suffixes "-0001", "-0002", etc. at the end of the file names, and the .movie file with the same texture file name placed in the Tune folder, where's indicated the frame rate value. Here's a tutorial to know to make them. In ZModeler, you have to assign to the material the original texture file, for example, named bigbentex.tga, and not the bigbentex-0001.tga one; at the end, don't forget to delete the original file bigbentex.tga to let work the animation in-game.
