Uk High street assets

Description
Commercial buildings typically found in the UK High street

I started this mod 2 months ago and I'm not finished but I think what's done so far is worth sharing ;)

This mod will let you plop down quite a lot of 'branded' buildings - see preview shots for some examples.
There are a lot more shops than there are pictures ;)

They can be found in assets in the madhatter category (top hat)

There are five groups of buildings

Small shops - Double fronted shops - Department Stores - Pubs - Others

Each set has its own asset icon

Options available for placement are

Terrain alignment - off/on (Ground is flattened when the building is placed)

Capacity - choose a number (sets the number of jobs the building has)

Assets - off /on (Adds exterior walls / pub benches etc)

Lanes - off/on (creates a nearly invisible path connecting the building to the road)

Building - list of well known UK high street names

Notes
The intention is to expand this even further.
With such a lot of models and code there are bound to be teething troubles.

Also there is a sister mod to this 'UK High Street AI' that will let the AI use these buildings in towns.

I should also point out that collisions are off - so that you can place the buildings precisely where you want them
However - this means you will need something else to 'guard' them from the AI.
Like maybe my buy the plot mod. ;)

I seem to be getting odd results occasionally - such as placing down a JobCentre, then selecting another from that group, e.g. Willilam Hill, Co-op Funeral and they all come out as JobCentres...

Other times I just get the placeholder appear and the "internal error" message. I have a number of your mods running and in total the savegame I'm currently working on has 430. I would imagine something among them is running interference with your mod.

Had an Lua exception when changing the capacity on an already placed building.

Error message: error: res/scripts/init.lua:69: creating globals by assignment is not allowed (variable was modelData)
Did you forget to add 'local' before your variable?
stack traceback:

Thanks for the reply..... Maybe just make the basic sign and have a script with no name and then when pressing configure you could edit no name to what you require...... then the name of the street would appear....... Just wish I could get the hang of making mods..... I have so many idea's.... Only wish we could import from Cities skylines.......

Hi Adie Gibbs - yes - a thought I'd already had. UK style street name signs. The issue is that you can't use the same process to create customised labels on assets like the way bus stops / busses work where the actual name of the stop is displayed. I could do it by making then way-points but then they can't be placed exactly where you want them and they take up a bus stop slot.

How about doing real Street Name Signs...... just a thought......

Not sure if anyone is making UK Houses...... most are euopean models

Hi Adie Gibbs - yep I know you can't se the department store signs for Littlewoods and Debenhams - actually you can if you drive past them in a car but they would be better mounted on the porching.

Hi Norfolk_Chris - I happen to know another modder was/is working on residential buildings so no I have no plans to do those at the moment. - Earlier buildings the difficulty really is finding reference material there aren't exactly any colour photos. Also not really any brands as such most stores were owned by individuals.

Have you thought of adding UK residential buildings. Also, I would really appreciate some earlier building (all types) from 1850-1900.
