A video of the cattle rustler is available here.Regrettably, making the cow moo at regular intervals would require code changes.max file required a number of changes see my notes regarding mesh replacement here, specifically the sim3d2_simcopter_replacement_test_1.max section. Replacing the burglar's car with the cow in the.I rotated the cow mesh to make it point forward and changed its texture indices to reference the location of the cow texture in the modified sim3d.bmp file.With a mix of programmatic and manual editing, I extracted the cow mesh from Streets' sim3d1.max file and replaced the burglar's car with it in SimCopter's sim3d2.max file.I extracted the cow texture from Streets' sim3d.bmp file and added it to SimCopter's sim3d.bmp file using my Maxis Texture Tool program.Replacing the burglar's coupé utility vehicle with the cow from Streets of SimCity required a few changes:./simcopter/cattle-rustler/sim3d-simcopter-cattle-rustler.bmp (replaces bmp/sim3d.bmp)./simcopter/cattle-rustler/sim3d2-simcopter-cattle-rustler.max (replaces geo/sim3d2.max).A video of the trouble train is available here.During the 19th century, three-storey bunk cars saw limited use as part of construction trains in North America. The trouble train is not without some degree of historical precedent.Presumably their position is specified relative to one of the roof vertices or the height of the mesh is calculated at runtime. Conveniently, people are still placed on the roof of the train (rather than at the original roof height) during train rescue missions otherwise they would be impossible to retrieve.

The trouble train was created by programmatically increasing the y coordinate of the roof vertices of the train car meshes in the sim3d2.max file.bmp files) with those provided.įor example, given a mod file called sim3d2-simcopter-mod-name.max, remove the original sim3d2.max file from SimCopter's geo folder, rename the mod file to remove the suffix, and place a copy of it in the geo folder to replace the original sim3d2.max file. Install each mod by replacing the appropriate file(s) in the geo folder (for. Recommended for use with SimCopterX or SimStreetsX, which not only patch both games to ensure reliable operation when run under modern versions of Windows but also ensure that they use local resource files. Silly little mods for SimCopter and Streets of SimCity.
