but i will have to!

that is let's say wednesday this week
tommorrow i have a date with my social worker
maybe tuesday or wedneday i will visit my mother again

new things i haven't to offer i was physically exhausted due to work (read [spacesimcentral.com/forum/discussion/2638/pioneer-musical-appreciation-society/p15?]( http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/discussion/2638/pioneer-musical-appreciation-society/p15? "spacesimcentral.com/forum/discussion/2638/pioneer-musical-appreciation-society/p15?"))

but i guess i will have work enough with the fixes and updates in the upcoming weeks

alki-alki
one by one

like i already posted i have the time now to take care of this problems.
i guess i have to download the complete thread here to keep track of all the issues.
what exactly causes the diplaced "old blackelk" i can't imagine now.
maybe just because i slightly displaced the station.
the displacing was done to close the gap between station and city
it's in fact a height difference and not displaced in distance to the city.
easy this could cause the station to sink in the ground, but i haven't noticed this.
(a idea is to take a look at the tris.ini i included, there you find the displacement, if changed back to 0
the problem maybe disappears).
still it would be surprising because i can only explain this for myself with a different terrain,
easy possible since the terrain is procedural generated, but well same numbers will draw same numbers,
but a slight change in the code can alter this, i know.

to the flickering,
usually this marks a z-fighting plane,
a doubled geometry?
shouldn't be (the "triangles" on the landmark are original geometry), but it must be something like that
yes i see a lot of models are displaced,
i will have to check this.

i hope i can fix the issues until sunday, but i won't promise - else it will take me 2 months.
everytime i promise something it will turn out completely different
thus i better make no promises.
i hope...
it's anything else as easy to be tied that much to "the force", i can't control it - it controls me (laughs).

and well some buildings are displaced because of a quarter which is used repetively but the buildings are random
vectors and far less in the original, of i guess 9 possible buildings usually only 4 or 5 are used,
dependeing on a global value for this specific city, respectively citytile.
for "black elk" it's used twice but each with a different global.
which results in two different looking tiles made of one geometry.

it's to think about to hack the code and use two different tiles,
since i can't randomly let a solid geometry appear or disappear.
if i can solve it with a different tile i'm satisfied.
of course the tile(s) will unfortunately have always the same appearance across the galaxy.
however, it needs less buildings on this tile
and on a second one the same problem appears
it's left of the station (in a view from the station to the city)
the one with the giant 200floors blocks on it (i guess it reflects a sort of residential quarter, a massive "rabbitcage").
in other terms, the one which hasn't a floor tile yet, because floor and random geometry is one model.
this tile will be different in each city of a similar type.
i only can replace it with a set of buildings, even less as the geometry contains, else it will be overloaded.

steve
i can't reproduce your error
using the latest build makes no difference
perhaps if you create a new FFED3D folder, i uploaded once a default models set
it should work with this

intermission

have your red & blue 3d glasses ready
![]( "")

recently i can't have this, the grahic card which offered me this won't run i my rotten old computer
however it recognized FFED3D as a game to play with 3d glasses by itself, whysoever.
i had to disable it, not to enable it.

first i will open a thread for buildings
that's certainly the right idea.

second i will update the screenshots they are unavailable now and anyway i cancel my picload account (because of).
third ok i will collect a couple of mods for you BartTP.
but like i said you will find buildings in future under "New buildings for FFED3D"

as far as it's possible from my moms macbook, recently i'm resting at her home because i had this aorta dissection and i still didn't feel to well.
i guess it's time to move some to SSC's download area

coolhands cockpit is usually in the mods folder of the installation
personally i use this as default who needs another one?
or use this link:

blrp....

ok, i will upload coolhands cockpit to SSC
a set of buildings (experimental, i have to fix a couple of buildings for the new release)
a set of ships

i guess to use the mods enabler is obvious.

Let me know what you are uploading and where you are trying to put it so I can make sure permissions are ok? What is the size of the file? What is the file extension?

I thought I had upload set to 2GB.


Size : 	42.03 MB
Path : 	downloads/#-F/FFED3D/Models
Link : 	Models
Modified : 	Oct 25, 2017 07:15 PM
Permissions : 	read and write
Locked : 	no

*UPDATE*
I sent an email to the developer of this plugin, I recently updated to a newer version and when I try to upload one of your files I get an error when it completes. So for right now looks like upload is not working, but I am on it 🙂
