DJ Sims Tempest Cooktop Respository?

[edejan]

Hi!  First time I'm posting here.  I hope I don't break any of the numerous rules you have listed!!!  :b

At MTS, there was a WCIF about the Tempest Cooktop for TS2.

DJSims has made the stove for residential use:

Yay!!

And Nialong (and Piggi too) have made numerous recolors of the community version, but they don't work on DJSims residential version.  Per Rhondalette's suggestion at MTS, I'm requesting that DJSims version could be changed to pick up the Nialong recolors if it's at all possible?  Thanks!!

I wanted something easy to practice on. I think this will do, so I'll try.

This would be a good practice one Gwen.  Just want to let you know that all it really requires is an OBJD override though, no need for an entire mesh.  However this does spawn an npc apparently.  Does the one by jfade also spawn an npc?

eta:  The stove does work like a normal one and does not spawn an npc.  Of course now I'm curious as to what makes an npc spawn....I wonder if a small bhav override would prevent that?  I may have to go study that.

Looking forward to the slaved version though!

Yay!!!  Thanks!!

I haven't forgotten this, but I'm having troubles. Can someone tell me if the Maxis community stove has recolours originally? When I click on it now, it says 'Undesignable'.

[HugeLunatic]

Yes it is recolorable, but I think it is only because of the CEP.

Before changing something to be slaved, I always make sure to Fix Integrity and update the mmat's for the main OBJD.  Otherwise I sometimes have recolorability issues.

Are you creating a new clone or modifying the one by jfade?

[Gwenke]

I am modifying jfade's. I have successfully created one that crashed my game upon trying to load the catalogue page it was on.
I clearly need more practice. I have 3 great tutorials so I hope I will succeed evetually.

Also, I believe my CEP has died or become disconnected or what. It's never happened to me before.

[HugeLunatic]

Definitely reinstall the CEP, that would not stop you from changing this but it may stop you from being able to test recolorability.  CEP does suffer lapses in it's recolorability from time to time.

The crashing on selection would most likely be in the GMND.  Look in the Edit blocks tab and see how many line numbers you have (discard the 0x0 one), then look at the 0x0 line in the blocklist/objectgraphnode tab.  On the right under the Datalist Extension Reference you should have the same number of lines.

Gwen how is this going?  Did you need any help?

[Dinad2610]

we have "numerous" rules??? 

[Issy]

We do... we just don't read them... or apply them! 

[HugeLunatic]

Di - Drink 6 Martini's and they become numerous!  But we still don't read them!

Rules? Here? Where??

Not good. As I could not make jFade's version recolourable, I turned it around, tried cloning the Maxis original and lifting the BHAVs from his version. I think this part worked but I can't seem to do the repository thing. This mesh has too many parts or subsets or what. Still trying.

Gwen how is this going?  Did you need any help?

[Gwenke]

OK I think I've given up.  I went back to cloning the original DJS stove, but I cannot get it take colours from the in-game one. It still says the object is undesignable.
The funny thing is, this object only contains a shadow texture now, and still shows up with the default texture.
I'm sorry edejan, for taking so long. We need more competent people to lok at you request, it seems. :(
