The Buildable Jeep for your jurassic parking lot. hehe.

Here is a mod that will let you build an unusable safari jeep in your park.

Known issues:Cannot be demolished(so think if you really want this for your park.),and cannot be built on top of a path.
(if you want this on top of your path then you should build the jeep first and then put a path under it.)
and the icon for this is a tombstone.

NOTE:
this tutorial is not as detailed as you want it but if you find any problems understanding it you may tell me and ill answer you directly.

Files you have to mess with:

Code:


Units folder
Models folder
Eng.txt
GUI/buildmenu.ini


First step:

Go to you Units folder and find jeep.ini & jeep.inx.
copy and paste them on your desktop.
after that rename them jeep2.ini and jeep2.inx.

Second step:

Go to your Models folder and search for the jeep.tmd.
Copy and paste it on your desktop again.
after it. rename it jeep2.tmd.

Now that you are finished with the easy part.

Third step:

Go to your desktop and open up both jeep2.ini & jeep2.inx

Once you have opened it. copy this code and overwrite the original.(remember to overwrite this on the jeep2.ini)

Code:


Unit {
    Name=jeep;
    Directory=AUnitJeep;
    TClass=AUnitJeep;
    ScreenName=$Unit_jeep2;
    Help=$UnitHelp_jeep2;
    FootprintX= 1 ;
    FootprintY= 1 ;
    UseINX= 1 ;
}

    Playfulness=0.0;
    Appetite=0.0;
    Energy=0.0;

}




Fourth step:

Now that you are done modding the jeep2.ini let's head for the jeep2.inx
Open up jeep2.inx
Copy this code and paste it

Code:


Building {
        Health = 100;
   BuildingType = slave;
}
    PreviewScene
    {
      CamPosition = {0, -6.5, -10};
      CamAngle = 30;

      Model
      {
          Model = jeep2;
          Position = {0, 0, 0};
      }
      Model
      {
          Model = GrndPW;
          Position = {0, 0, 0};
      }
    }


Above "Mediumsmoke".

Now. you are done with the easier part.
Fifth and final step

Go to GUI/Locales/ and open Eng.txt.
Hit ctrl+f or just Search for the line:

Code:

Unit_jeep    "Land Cruiser";

And when you have found it,copy this code

Code:


Unit_jeep2    "Land Cruiser Design";


And paste it above or beneath the original line.

And then hit ctrl+f again to search for the line

Code:

UnitHelp_

After you have found it. copy this code

Code:

UnitHelp_AUnitjeep2    "A Model Of the Safari Jeep,Basically a design for your park.";

Above the line "Unithelp_AUnitbin".

Now that you're finished dealing with the easiest part of this mod.
We will now make it buildable.

Head back to the GUI folder and find buildmenu.ini

Copy this code

Code:

unit = jeep2;

and paste it in any menu you like. mine is pasted on paths menu.

Get every file (eg; jeep2.ini,jeep2.inx,jeep2.tmd in there proper folders)

Now that everything is done. cross your fingers and wish for the best.You can now build a safari jeep in your park. (I suggest you build this beside your safari depots so that it may look like that your depot has a parking lot.)
hehe. hoped you will like this mod and use it for your future packs just don't forget the credits to me .please inspire me to do more.

here is a screenshot of this mod.

Lol, funny! An army of jeeps! Not very useful, but hilarious!

Pretty cool!

If you made them exploded jeeps, I'd give you double Reps! XD

It would then be a Jeep junkyard!

It could make JP San Deigo more realistic.

Awesome.

Nice discovery, nonetheless.

This mod is somewhat not new to me. I've seen a mod like this on Modding Gensis. I forgot the guy's name but he used the same stragey to make dinosaur statues. Still cool mod and it's very helpfull for taking pics.

I think it was Trassic.

This makes me want to add a new rule...

What rule?

To this forum: Give credit to people!

awe. sorry,[if you think that i copied someones idea.] BUT, i made this mod on my own. i discovered this way back and so is my build able ranger helicopter. and was using it before i ever had my own account on MG. by the way i'm back, but still not for long. and the dino statues can only be made when you add a specified dinosaur model into the build menu. i think.

awesome

Awesome ! I did it, its cool !

thanks.

N problem !

your welcome.

haha just one of those mods that make you smile

yeah.really.but i'm going to fix these so you could drive it.after you built it.

i REALLY wanna find out how to skin a safari! We could make it look so cool! Id put a raptor on one side, and a rex on the other.

Nice find, it's cool!

hahhah funny mod

It is.But we know he is gone,so obviously you won't get a reply from him saying thanks.

awe . thanks. hehe. did i just surprised you? I'm not gone yet. I was just busy with my stuff. don't worry I'll be back soon.

You're still here! I remember your last visit was around January?
