Building Variations
Building Variations is a mod that allows users to choose variations from a list of variations for all buildings instead of just for industry buildings, by toggling submeshes associated with each variation. The mod includes an asset editor utility so that asset creators do not have to fiddle with XML parameters or complex settings.
Variations can be selected ingame using the dropdown list that appears on Building Variations-enabled assets.
Variations can be configured per asset by opening up the asset editor, and configuring the necessary options on the Building Variations Helper panel that will appear on the top left. This panel is draggable.
To aid in creating roof variations (or just roofs in general) Armesto has generously created a google drive with a set of roof textures so that your cities can have a unified look. Link coming soon[//]
Sometimes the asset editor utility will select the incorrect variation. I don’t know why this happens, and I haven’t been able to reproduce it whatsoever. If you know of a way to reproduce this glitch, please tell me, I really want to fix it but I don’t know how to get it.
Thanks to Armesto for:
• gentle encouragement
• the initial idea
• screenshots
Thanks to boformer for suggesting the render prefix that is used in the final mod.
