Your site seems to be down
It may possibly be due to the site exceeding the bandwidth limit (Data transfer limit). I've backed up all my files at these two e-groups:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/auri_sacra_fames
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/auri_sacra_fames2
Can I redistribute your stuff?
Yes please... it would be nice to save on bandwidth instead of my site being down often ;-)... but you may not post it on another site without written permission from me, nor may you claim it as yours... otherwise people will consider you a thief... and it wouldn't be nice being labelled one, now would it? ;-)
What does Auri Sacra Fames mean?
The cursed hunger for gold... I thought it sounded cool.
Why Auri Sacra Fames for the site name?
Umm... good question lol. I should have put Simulos Sacra Fames (the cursed hunger for sims) or something like that, but I just thought it sounds better as Auri Sacra Fames... even though the translation isn't sim related ;-)... I also partly chose this title because of the desperation some people have in finding Roman-related sims objects... they hunger for more... and more... and more... just like me :P
Your Latin isn't very good
You're right. I don't know any Latin :P. If there's something wrong with one of the translations I used for the objects section, please correct me ;-)
Where do I put the downloads?
Unzip them to the following places:
- For objects, place in your /Downloads folder. You can create a subfolder to allow for organisation too if you want... though you can't have a sub-subfolder.
- For skins and heads, unzip them to the /Gamedata/Skins folder, and that place only.
- For walls, place them in /Gamedata/Walls folder.
- For floors, place them in /Gamedata/Floors folder.
- For roofs, place them in /Gamedata/Roofs folder
What are .iff's, .bmp's, .skn's, and .cmx's?
.iff files tend to be object files.
.bmp files are either skin or head textures, or roof patterns.
.skn files are mesh files, which dictate the way the skin texture wraps around the mesh.
.cmx files are files that link the textures to the meshes.
Your object's crashing my game!
It's probably an ID conflict, though I do use a magic cookie. If it does crash your game, simply remove the object. I take no responsibility for my objects in your game, all I can say is it works fine in my game, as I have tested it :P.
It won't unzip!
Try redownloading the file. It may have been that your internet got disrupted or some such thing, resulting in a corrupted downloaded zip file that won't open.
Can you link to me and I will link to you?
No. You can link to me if you want, but I do not swap links just for the sake of swapping links. The links that I have are there for a reason ;-)...
Can I request ______?
Yes!... I need inspiration at times... But whether I make it depends on real life, and whether I feel like it :P
Can I recolour your objects?
Well, if you can make any use of my object bases... go ahead :-). But please give credit where it is due :-) (It would be nice if I got to know about it too... I'd like to see what others come up with with my object bases ;-))
Can I clone your NPC'd objects?
Sure! But please give a link to me (in case you just happen to forget to include some neccessary files... we don't want people's games crashing now do we? ;-))
How can I contact you?
You can email me, or leave a post at the e-group.
