TheLopez requested this and now it's skinned and finished. I've tried to get it to look "right" in game, but one part or another is always on land or swallowed by land. If anyone knows what to do about that please let me know. It might simply be too big. I used a scale of 0.25 for the screenie.

I'll add the file to the database, but will gladly edit it when/if someone tells me how to change it to appear on the coastline better.

1.Well, You can always let the city grow a bit, or you can also rotate the model?

2.can you make another version without the ships?

3.Can you also include the XML files with it because I suck at XML?(or you can Email it to me)

EDIT:I just got the first post:dance:
 
1. Rotating didn't help. I tried once and after 180 degrees still get some overlap.
2. Yeah, I should and that might help.
3. PM me your email.
 
Look, I reskinned one of your ships into a Dole Ship.

This is a good model though, but it definately needs some serious skinning. Try to add 'realistic' textures and make it not Playmobil-like!

Hey, that's my job to make the skin realistic! It's taking some time though...Long live Dole!
 
Nice start of a modern harbour, Woodelf.
To the interested texturer: name the ship "Firaxis". :D

I need some with cityschema intelligence to solve this one.

the best xml hint is to copy and paste, change and rename something that is similar to the element you want to put in. Maybe the drydock?
 
I dropped it in for the Harbor, but maybe the size was incorrect. Good point Chamaedrys.
 
Ok woodelf, here is my final product for the skinning of the commercial port. One is a Dole ship and the other is a Maersk Sealand. I only made crates for Dole because it is better.:p

You folks can download it here:Download Link Note: The file only comtains the skins, other items Solduploaded seperately
 
Beautiful. I hope someone tries it with the Drydock to see if it fits better than the Harbor. I will eventually.

That is a nice skinning job Hadrean.
 
I have a screenie using the Drydock as a placeholder and it looks much better:



At least it's all in the water!
