Posted by simtomatic on Sep 15, 2007• Instructions for Downloads

Just a quick reminder that pretty much all of the sets I publish have instructions for use in the game.

For example, I think nearly all of my sets have 'Masters' and 'Slaves', where multiple objects (the slaves) are dependent on a specified single object (the master), so their textures show up in the game. The reason for using this 'master' and 'slave' technique is that it significantly reduces the file size of all those slaves. In my sets I always give the instructions for this with the red link that will take you directly to the master file.

Another example is with the GEA Build Set which contains modular stairs which require a script to place in your Scriptorium folder (an invaluable Numenor creation) or in the script files of your game. If you're inexperienced at the latter, I'd heartily recommend Numenor's scriptorium mod (if you don't know where to get it, drop me a PM). If you try and use the modular stairs in-game without the script, your game will crash.

Now, even though I've been thorough with the information I've given within the set downloads, I think sometimes I've been remiss in the lack of information I've given on the supersets especially. Not every downloader goes into the sets to look at the items individually thereby missing the information that has been given.

So, I'm going to go through the sets and amend the wordings on the set previews where necessary so that downloaders will know that there are special instructions for use.
