EDIT:




Ok, it works properly.




Now I have to understand how the Community Toolbar works.

Photoshop is the best! I use it for years to work and hobby.

Photoshop is amazing indeed. I have been messing around with it for quite a while, but I'm still discovering new things every time.

[despo20]

Great! I'm glad to have helped.




I love this community. Very creative and collaborative [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/happy.png[/img]/emoticons/happy@2x.png 2x" title="^_^" width="20" />

Now it's time for the second house!




I want to build 3 or 4 houses before releasing the mod, so in the meantime I can improve my first model with what I'll find out.




 




I have another question for you modders: How do you put several buildings in one single mod?




I'm sure you have discussed and explained it somewhere here or on WoB, but I haven't found it  [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow.png[/img]/emoticons/mellow@2x.png 2x" title=":|" width="20" />

Where the dirt is in the footprint will you have that as road tiles, or blank, so we can place road tiles or decorative pieces there? (please [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />[img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />)




Can't wait to try them out [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />

It is simply by making another template file for the building and all required model files etc.




In your DespoMods/D20House/D20House.rsc file, you can simply add another toolbar call section like this:

 

Code:

Toolbar D20House2  // this needs to be called up in your D20HouseResources.rsc file like the first entry
{    
    Toolbar _parent = "Game\D20toolbar.rsc:Housing";    // this calls up your community game/toolbar button
    int _sortPriority = 200;    // change this number to set the location of this button in the toolbar.

    Action _action = Tool;        
    ComponentDescription _tool = "Template/D20House2.rsc";        // this creates the link to the building template file.

    bool _autoHotKey = true;  
}

as long as you are calling up all building like this you should have no problem.




If you are referring to adding more than one building as an F-key variant,




you will need to create a similar template file to the WoodHouse.rsc or StoneHouse.rsc in the modkit. Create the model and materialInstance files for each new house and then call up them files in the single template file like the WoodHouse.rsc.




I see you made your community toolbar, great job! [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />

[Ketchup]

you just add a new line in your MyModResources.rsc like this [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
