Title: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on April 02, 2009, 05:18:12 AM
Updated 31-Oct-09 - Now has the contents recolorable separately from the frame just the the TV Center.  This requires the udpated CEP for IKEA!!

One part of the matching EXPEDIT Series from IKEA.  This is a bookcase to match the TV Center.  It takes all textures from the TV Center including the wood, books and boxes.  It's not quite as deep as the TV Center since I didn't want the animations to look wonky, but with cheats it could still be placed next to to give the illusion of one large piece.

There are two bookcases in the rar file.  One has "FT" on the end, that one should be compatible with FreeTime and the other should be compatible with Base+Uni+OFB.  I don't have multiple game installs to check, but it may also be compatible without Uni or OFB.  Please only use one!

Hmmph. Ses was the original ground zero Typhoid Mary of the request infections, ya know!  :p tehehe

Lunie, where do the stacks of books come from? At least the one on the middle shelf looks like it's removable.  ???
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on April 02, 2009, 04:40:42 PM
The first picture of stacks of books are either from FT or M&G.  But Sims2play also has some, which I use when on my Mac.  And they should fit in that slot.  I think Club Crymson or GOS might have some too.  Not sure. 

I shall scour the meshes of stereos in game, cause like I am actually going to mesh one!  Although wouldn't a stereo fit in a slot?  And work?  Is there a small one out there somewhere?
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: rgdyanne on April 02, 2009, 05:02:15 PM
yes, the game stereos should work in a slot

I don't know what Gayle was envisioning but I kind of thought it'd be neat to have a cabinet stereo system that matches, you know like the ones that came with FT I think??

I found that I didn't link a texture correctly so the interior of the plastic boxes was showing funny.  Fixed now so you should probably redownload.  :)  Sorry about that.  Teach me to read about Windows Server while using SimPE.

I got tired of the red boxes in the TV center and made a handful of recolors for them. They show up fine in the color selection for the TV center, but not the bookcase in this thread; the only color for the boxes in the bookcase is red, though there are now plenty of frame color choices. Am I the only one who has box recolors in their game that don't show up for this bookcase? (I've never seen any other recolors of the boxes, so I'm not sure how many people have done them) If they are working properly for others, any theories as to why they don't show up for me?
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on October 20, 2009, 08:02:37 PM
I think the reason they are not showing up is because I made this prior to IKEA being included in the CEP so the contents were not a recolorable at that time.
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on October 31, 2009, 01:10:20 PM
Bumping this....I've updated the bookcases to two recolorable subsets.  Must have current CEP.  You will know if you have two recolorable subsets for the TV Center.

Please overwrite the old ones!

Hiya Lunie,

I just DLd/updated this and I have a question for you... In the in-game catalog Should it be showing only one row of pictures - or should it have two rows (one for box recolors, and one for the cabinet recolors?) 'Cause in mine it only shows the one row, and none of my box recolors show up. It is the same as it was. Is this right? Did I miss something?

I have *ahem* another creator's version of other expedit pieces - not of this same bookcase - and her's all have two rows of color options. Hence my confusion.

Yes, I have the last CEP (v9.2 - I double checked,) I have the IKEA SP, I have the recolors, and I tested with all of her stuff out of the game (to see if there was a conflict somewhere) - but I still only have cabinet color choices. No boxes - they're all still red.

Am I nuts? (Probably!) But, thanks for your reply...  :w00t
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on November 01, 2009, 08:47:45 PM
ugh...LOL  Yes it should have two rows.  I know mine in my dl folder did since I made a leather recolor (it's really ugly!) and it showed.  I musta messed up the zip or something I'll go double check the file in my folder and then rezip.

Which version do you have?  FT or no?
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: CatherineTCJD on November 01, 2009, 10:03:52 PM
FT. And, THANK YOU!!!
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on November 01, 2009, 10:51:45 PM
Ok, mine is working and the uploaded one appears to be the same as in my downloads folder.

Can you link me to some other recolors of the boxes for me to test?
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: CatherineTCJD on November 01, 2009, 11:03:44 PM
OK - I was using the ones from Mutske/TSaaaaRrgh:
 :pirate/tsr/mutske/expeditextraadd-ons.zip

Her recolors work for the other versions of this cabinet, but not for this one. Maybe it's a guid issue and they're not meant to work together... Can I change the guids and make 'em work?

Thanks,
Cat
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on November 01, 2009, 11:29:45 PM
Booty visit!   :pirate

The boxes from mutske's are slaved to something else of hers and the frame is slaved to the expedit tv.  I am guessing she also made them before the CEP included IKEA and hasn't gone back to fix them.

The mapping might not even be the same as the IKEA one so I wouldn't even bother trying to slave them.   Quicker to use the textures themselves and make your own recolors of the contents of the tv center.

Post by: CatherineTCJD on November 02, 2009, 01:24:39 AM
Alrighty. Thank you for checking in to this. I'll try my hand at recoloring. If anything turns out, I'll let you know.
Thankys!
 :flowers

EDIT: OK... I just peeked into your bookcase... what do I recolor? There weren't any TXTRs or anything else that looked recolorable. Sorry if I'm a dunce - I've only done a few recolors. Thanks for your help. :-)
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: HugeLunatic on November 02, 2009, 03:25:39 AM
LOL  Gotta learn sometime!  You want to recolor the Expedit TV not my bookcase. :)  Specifically choose the contents and not the frame when the box pops up.  You'll understand when it does.
Title: Re: IKEA Expedit Bookcase
Post by: theevilwriter on November 02, 2009, 07:08:38 PM
 HugeLunatic, thanks so much for updating this :) I can't wait to try it out...well, given it takes half an hour for the game to load I will be waiting, but you know what I mean.

To make recolors, you're not going to recolor the bookcase, but the TV center because the bookcase is taking its colors from it. When you make a recolor of the TV center you have three options: recolor both the frame and the boxes by leaving both options clicked in simpe when it asks you which textures to recolor, just recolor the frame by unclicking the second option (I think it's called "contents" but I don't have simpe open to check), or just the boxes by unclicking frame option.  Since I have a lot of nice frames from piggi that I'm not going to improve on, I've just been recoloring boxes.

Of course. I have no idea why Piggi didn't recolor the boxes too, but here's a link to the frames: http://www.piggis-sims.net/IKEA03.html
