The '''Glass Tower''' is a 138-story tower with 5 elevators (3 scenic and 2 interior). It is from the movie "The Towering Inferno." It was the second tower to be built, after the [[Triton Center]]. Next to it there is the Peerless Building, which has no content inside, like the Daley Center's facade in Triton Center. The Glass Tower is one of the official buildings of Skyscrapersim, the another being [[Triton Center]].

This Glass Tower model was originally designed by Michael Jehn of CMU, and modeled by Ryan Thoryk. Eventually copies of Fox tower model blueprints were provided by film illustrator Joseph Musso, who worked on the Towering Inferno, and the model was modified to match the blueprints as much as possible. The blueprints detail the 70-foot model of the Glass Tower along with the elaborate base structure which was mostly built, and separately the roof structure which was built as a film set.

Eventhorizon: Added link to Version History

Welcome to the SkyscraperSim Wiki!

== About SkyscraperSim ==
Skyscraper is a 3D virtual building simulator written in C++ using the OGRE (previously Crystal Space) graphics engine. The goal of the Skyscraper project is to create a fully-featured, modular, multiplatform 3D realtime building simulation engine, including gaming support (single and network multiplayer). Everything possible is planned to be simulated, including elevators, stairs, interfloor areas, ductwork, and more, all in first-person 3D. The simulator core is called the Scalable Building Simulator, or SBS. Buildings are stored in scripted text files that are loaded and generated in realtime by the simulator. A graphical building designer application is planned to assist in creating building data files.

9/26/04 - Skyscraper 1.0b

<nowiki>-------------</nowiki>

Between this is Visual Basic versions of Skyscraper 1.1, the C++ version was started in June 2005 and simultaneous versions of VB and C++ were released until the VB version was discontinued in mid 2006. The simulator became relatively stable in 2008 and the focus was put on the Triton Center, the sim was released when the Triton Center was completed.

<nowiki>-------------</nowiki>

2.0 Series (written in C++)

<nowiki>-----------</nowiki>

1/6/09 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 1 (initial release of 1.1 Alpha, mainly focusing on the Triton Center), uses the Crystal Space 3D 1.2 engine

1/10/09 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 2 (basically an Update 1 for Alpha 1, it's a ground fix)

3/29/09 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 3 (sound support added)

6/19/09 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 4 (script backwards compatibility starts around at this time)

6/20/09 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 4.1 (bugfix, basically an Update 1)

10/24/09 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 5

3/11/10 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 6 (uses the Crystal Space 3D 1.4 engine)

9/19/10 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 7 (last CS engine release)

10/18/10 - Alpha 7 Patch 1 (this was before the Update subreleases)

11/13/10 - Triton Center texture pack, replacing the wooden doors one with the modern metal doors

For the CS development versions of Alpha 8, Alpha 7 and earlier used the CS Thingmesh system for 3D geometry,

Alpha 8 switched over to my own system called Polymesh which was made specifically for Skyscraper.

Skyscraper was ported over to the Ogre engine in mostly late 2010 and early 2011.

3/1/13 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 8 (first Ogre engine release)

3/4/15 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 9

3/31/15 - Alpha 9 Update 1

4/16/15 - Alpha 9 Update 2

12/19/16 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 10 (main feature is Engine Contexts aka multiple sim engines)

12/28/16 - Alpha 10 Update 1

12/31/16 - Alpha 10 Update 2

1/5/17 - Alpha 10 Update 3

1/7/17 - Alpha 10 Update 4

2/1/17 - Alpha 10 Update 5

2/1/17 - Alpha 10 Update 6

3/10/23 - Skyscraper 2.0 Alpha 11

3/19/23 - Alpha 11 Update 1

4/13/23 - Alpha 11 Update 2

The Crystal Space engine was dropped in favor of Ogre (which took a ton of work to port the sim over to that), this was done because Ogre had better features and supported things like the Caelum sky system. Interestingly enough Crystal Space development stopped not that long after (after they put out a 2.0 release), and the engine is now discontinued, Ogre is still being developed.
