'Moby's Steel Jungle'
Two sets of versatile, aligning steel bars, popular as coaster supports.
All quarter-tile and recolourable. Full details below.
Naming:
The naming system has been carefully thought out to make the set user-friendly.
All object names follow the same pattern;
- First word: type of object. e.g. Bar, Flange, Cap etc.
- Second word: shape of object. e.g. Horizontal, Slant, Angle etc.
- Third word: Indicates size or angle of object. e.g. H1, H2, Quarter, Extended etc. Quarter means a quarter of one tile's width (not a quarter-tile). H1 stands for Height=1 but can represent the angle of the bar (some new pieces are half height).
- Word in brackets: Position of object (if horizontally offset). e.g. (edge), (centre). This tells you if the positioning of the object is horizontally offset (not aligned to the corner of each quarter-tile). If it isn't offset, this is not used.
- 'Offset': Some other objects (e.g vertical caps) have 'Offset' in the name. This means the object is vertically offset (by 0.5units).
Height Displacement:
Objects will not move up or down when editing terrain. This means you can build a coaster on flat terrain, build all the supports (which is easier on flat terrain), then terraform as you wish without messing up the height of the supports.
Backwards Compatible:
I've worked hard to ensure that saved parks using previous versions of this set will not be disturbed. There has been a small number of minor changes that will have effect though, e.g. there is no more 'knuckle diagonal', so that will need to be replaced using the new 'knuckle'.
Installation:
IMPORTANT - Delete any older versions you have of this set before installing.
Place the two folders into style\themed as usual.
Open RAR files using winRAR, 7zip, or IZArc.
