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.
