Starting a New Building



    Buildings are stored in text files in Skyscraper's buildings folder, usually at "c:\program files\skyscraper\buildings" on Windows, or in the "buildings" directory on Unix. The filenames end in BLD, and so you need to make sure your text file ends with ".bld" and not ".txt". To create a new building, the easiest way is to modify the Simple building, which is a new building tutorial.  Copy the Simple.bld file, which is found in the "buildings" folder, into another file, such as MyBuilding.bld.  When you're finished, save your building and run the simulator. The building will appear when you choose "Other buildings..." in Skyscraper's main menu. You might also want to open one of the other buildings that come with Skyscraper ("Triton Center.bld", "Glass Tower.bld", etc) for examples on the more advanced functions. Please note that the script syntax might change in the future.

Small Example Building

    To see an example of a small simplistic building in code, look at the Simple.bld file in Skyscraper's buildings directory. It's also available online here.
