I. Credits
----------
Agent Smith (that's me!)

Special thanks to Soul Catcher, Lupus[WD] and others who encouraged me to update this addon (sorry if I didn't mention you).

=========================================================
II. Instalation

Extract the AGS_build.pbo into \Res\Addons folder or a Mod folder. If you already have any of the older versions of AGS City Pack, overwrite the old file (this pack is fully backwards compatibile).

All objects can be found in the Mission Editor under Empty->3WX Buildings and Empty->3WX Misc Objects entries.

=========================================================
III. What is this?

This addon contains a full set of various hirise city buildings. It comes in WRP-friendly, binarized form. Some of its contents are:
- 4flr block of flats
- paved squares
- cinema
- 7 office buildings and skyscrapers.

=========================================================
IV. FAQ - read BEFORE you ask:

Q: What's new in version 2.51?
A:
- cfgMaterials class names fixed
- all models -> fixed faces lighting
- sharp & smooth edges where applicable
- many texture fixes and swaps
- additional visual LODs added to all models
- all models should have shadows now
- invisible faces removed (poly count down by 30-60%)

Q: Can I use these objects on my island?
A: Yes, that's what they're made for. You DO NOT need to ask anybody for permission to do that.

Q: Are you going to make custom editor icons?
A: No, these objects are intended for use mainlt in WRPTool and other WRP editors. Therefore, I'm not going to spend my time doing this.

Q: What OFP version do I need to use this addon?
A: Version 1.85 or higher of OFP is required to play. The latest version is recommended.

Q: I don't see the specular lighting effects!
A: Make sure you have HWTL on and you've NOT switched Pixel Shaders off.

Q: Can I redistribute this pack with my island archive?
A: Yes, but you MUST include complete readmes!

Q: Can I use textures from this pack to make my own addons?
A: Yes, of course. You DO NOT need to ask anybody for permission to do that. It'd be nice if you credit us in the readme of your addon, though.

Q: I would like to put this addon INTO my island's pbo file. Can I do that?
A: No. For performance and memory usage reasons we do NOT allow you to do that. Use the addon 'as-is' for placement in WRP file and don't forget to tell users, that Industrial Pack is required to play with your island. ;)

Q: Can I retexture / remake the models? Can I get MLOD files?
A: Please contact me and briefly tell us what you would like to do. This step is just a precaution to avoid crappy remakes. Then you'll be provided with download link to the MLOD files.
If you've made an improved/fixed version, we will be happy to include the fixed version in future updates.
Every derivated work MUST be fully OFPEC tag compatibile. For more information about tags please visit:

Q: I have a question that's not been answered above?
A: Send me a PM (link above).

V. Known bugs

We did our best to find and fix all the possible bugs, but still there can be some left. If you find them, let me know.

- Some objects are not properly recognized by WRPTool as valid ODOL p3d files. This bug is related to WRPTool and it will be fixed in future updates of WRPTool.
- AI soldiers run through the closed door (game engine bug)
- There are no windows textures on windows in build11.p3d - removed due to engine limitation (soldiers behind windows were invisible).
- Cinema collision detection occasionally doesn't work - hopefully will be fixed in the future...

VI. Scripting

No scripting this time... ;-)
