Hi Kevin, It was great talking to you on the phone again. As a matter of public record, I'd like to thank you for your efforts on and off the forum to develop a unified and democratic approach to this idea. As I said, I was not so much worried about loss of credit for my ideas as I was of the possible lack of an orderly approach to multiple project merging. I think you'd eventually make an ideal mayor, not to say you should be IN CHARGE, but just because you're really good at shaking hands and public "speaking." Heck, I bet you've even kissed some babies. I hearby nominate you to be acting threadmaster, helping us all use our CIS software more effectively, and generally keeping us together. I will be starting a thread with the title "StudioCity 2000 DEVCOM" to help us address questions that need to be answered by the "development committee" (anyone who wants to give input) to aid in a seamless merging of files, ideas, themes, looks, etc… I'm too sleepy to remember if there was anything else I should mention here. Still waiting to hear from Sanford Kennedy. As a general note to all interested people who haven't merged files: Merged entities will retain their exact x,y,z coordinates to the world system they are merged into. If everyone involved in a project like this places their entities in one spot on their personal master project file (based on the master master project), uploads it to the library… when downloaded and merged by another person into their personal master project, the new entities will be correctly placed. Thus everyone's pesonal master project starts identically, and is "built" by the creation of your own entities and/or the merging of other developers' files into your personal master file. Thus, the basis for a customizeable yet consistent project file for all. Time to get some sleep, Paul D. Sanford LEVEL 5 P.O. Box 10186 Fargo, ND 58106-0186 (701) 232-1295
