Get ’em while they’re hot! FIVE new Gen2 elevator shells are now in our vendors! You can choose from four new cars as well as one new set of doors!
The script packages have been updated to 2.5.0 with some bug fixes and a new automatic lighting feature that is used in the new cars.
Also, there’s an updated affiliate kit with updated vendors and Gen2 holo display.
As always – rez your elevator shipping crates to get your updates.
More images after the break!
I may be unavailable for the next few days due to hurricane Bill blowing through here in the next couple of hours. Last time we had a hurricane of this size (“only” a category 1) I had no power for almost a week. If you need technical support of any kind please contact other members of staff via the online indicators at Union Micro in Lionheart. Thanks!
Update: That was a sad excuse for a hurricane! It blew right by and I lost power for a total of 3 seconds. Looks like I’m in the clear!
Since I forgot to post this a few days ago, I’ve completed a video that shows you the basics of installing a generation 2 elevator system.
We’ve released an elevator update to all elevator parts. The script package has been updated to 2.4.0 which brings numerous bug fixes to the elevator logic to help it deal with those pesky “button pushers”, a new centralized install feature as well as an auto install, and a verbose setting that will allow you to shut those chatty elevator parts up once and for all!
Simply rez your original shipping crates to check for updates. If you’ve deleted those then you can head to Union Micro and request a new copy from the redelivery station as long as you bought your elevator in-world. For purchases made on XStreet you will have to IM Stylez Gomez for an update if you no longer have your crates.
We’re pleased to announce that our sister site, Brick Junkies, is now open! Brick Junkies is a community site aimed at LEGO® fans from around the world.
If you’re a LEGO fan, don’t hesitate to sign-up and start posting about your creations and uploading images to our gallery!
We’ve cleaned up the forum a bit and deleted a lot of accounts that were spamming or inactive/possible spammers. If you’ve been mistakenly deleted, please re-register.
We’ve also added a question to the registration process to weed out the spam bots that are smart enough to get around the captcha. Since the captcha has been pretty much useless we greatly decreased its difficulty to figure out instead of removing it completely.
On another note, you’ll see that it’s been quiet around here lately. I’ve been on a bit of a Second Life vacation in the last couple months so current projects and updates are temporarily on hold. I expect to be back in the swing of things soon though as I’m getting some creativity urges lately, I’m just too lazy to act on them at the moment!
V2 instructions are now available on this website. You can find them under Pages -> Documentation.
We’ve contracted Timothy Harlow of Level10 to create some new generation two elevator shells which will bring a lot more variety to the elevators we see around the grid. We have four designs that are finished and ready to be scripted and who knows how many more floating around inside Timothy Harlow’s brain just waiting to be shaped into prims.
Expect to see these up for sale in the next few weeks, and pending the addition of code for round elevator doors, you will see a round car or two with some doors to go with it.
I’ve finally created some generic v2 elevator templates that will allow you to create your own buttons and LED displays! These are only GUIDES and are not the actual images used to create my own v2 textures – you will have to make your own glossy finishes and shading.
Get them here!
