PC Skyscrapers & Other Buildings (Random Gen)

[SilvanasMax]

I can't find it, but there was a recent post about the lack of skyscrapers in random gen, and a number of users also stated they could not find them. After running literally dozens of maps to test out various functionsI, too, found I never saw a big building, especially the distinct OG dungeon: the Construction building.

So I decided to forcibly add them. Create a world, go into the "World" folder, and find the name of the world you just made (as a subfolder). Dive in, open the prefabs.xml file, and edited the first 4 entries to be skyscrapers 01-04 (the Pharmacutical building, the crack a book tower, the construction tower, and a fourth one that is by far the tallest).

<decoration type="model" name="skyscraper_01" position="-704, 46, -1208" rotation="2" />

<decoration type="model" name="skyscraper_02" position="-704, 46, -1184" rotation="3" />

<decoration type="model" name="skyscraper_03" position="-704, 46, -1176" rotation="2" />

<decoration type="model" name="skyscraper_04" position="-732, 46, -1168" rotation="0" />

Went to those coordinates found all four buildings merged together because they were so close. Forum is not liking my image upload attempt though, so I will say that it IS possible to have skyscrapers in the game, but the random gen is simply not allowing it (even when, in an earlier test, I FORCED the rxgen to have only skyscrapers in specific areas, then eventually as ALL buildings, resulting in a blank world). The fps drop is noticable close in to the buildings especially as the zombies (by the seeming hundreds) all start popping in.

Hope this helps in the hunt for skyscrapers.

You mean... since the patch you've found these?

Is that what you're saying?

Uh huh.... gotcha.

Oooooh you're awesome!

None of us managed to find any.... before the patch.

I bet you have to touch the plate when the waitress says it’s hot so don’t touch it...

Well at least we know they are working again and that's GREAT news!

Happy about that.

Meh I feel we should take the saftey labels off everything and let the idiots sort themselves out, the smart ones will avoid doing stupid stuff, the dumb ones.. well... yeah. Mind you even WITH all the safety don't do this labels, people STILL do it anyway.

This is no guarantee.

I have 158 IQ and this morning I didn't figure out that I had put the Milk in the cupboard until I tried to put the cereal in the fridge.

"Wait a minute...."

Pretty sure I do more stupid things than most.

I'd be one of the first victims of my own idiocy.
