Download links[edit source]
As the landscape cutting issue has been fixed, my buildings should run fine on the September 24, 2025 build. However, if anything breaks unexpectedly, you might wish to revert to either RC4 or RC5.
Installation instructions:
- Open the downloaded file in your preferred program, then open the folder with the same name as the archive.
- If done correctly, you should see the "buildings", "data", and other script folders.
- Select ALL listed folders inside and copy them to your Skyscraper root folder, replacing all files when prompted.
Note to everybody:
- Buildings that may resemble real-life places were created only because they are my favorites.
- Other people also made such creations for the same reasons.
- However, if you really want me to delete a building, please give me a very nice reason, as well as an absolute proof of your relations to the real place.
- Please (in)directly credit me if you want to take photos/videos of my buildings.
- Do not simply steal my screenshots regardless of their details. It is simple to press F11 to take one of your own.
- I sincerely apologize for removing certain screenshots some time after having released the related updates.
- Please kindly read the included "Copyright and Credits" before altering any building or content included.
- I would exercise a fair use (no copyright violation intended) for files created by no longer active users.
- If you do not want me to include any files, please PM me with a nice reason, and with a proof of ownership if possible.

The future of Spacetime Plaza and this IP[edit source]
I deeply apologize to announce that it will be a very long time before the completion of Spacetime Plaza, which will be my last independent project in this IP. There are some reasons behind this.
- Whenever I browse to the forum thread (including the former and current ones), I would see "error reports" (whether about missing textures or large buildings stalling/crashing on lower-end computers) and "requests to add or change files (such as in GitHub)" more than "compliments about my buildings."
- Such requests or complaints demotivate me, and make me think that I am an AI that has to make my buildings work perfectly for every release.
- It's fine if users who like my buildings prefer enjoying them silently, but seeing error or requests almost every day making me feel really like a bot or an AI that must always return perfect results.
- I am a real person, not a robot or an AI who needs to work perfectly every time. Hence, my IP's releases cannot always be perfect.
- Most important: I would like to wait for many years until computers get more advanced before continuing on Spacetime Plaza (more specifically, the hotel zone in the northwestern side of the complex).
- Let's say that if I manage to complete this complex in June 2027, other users may still not have enough time and money to upgrade their computers by then.
- Other important factor: I cannot spend every day working on my buildings, as doing so may make people I know in real life know what I am doing, and might cause them to "exploit my skills" for either higher studies (anywhere in the world) or any kind of job (whether paid or not). To minimize the chance of this happening, I can let those people know only when I reach my early sixties (or late seventies) in the far future.
- This simulator is a game, not a professional simulation. Even if there is an official "graphical building designer" created by eventhorizon in the future, other specialized programs will still do better for real life jobs.
- To save time and improve realism, it's better to use a real 3D program, such as SketchUp, for such thing.
- From #3 above, let's say that when I am sitting idle listening to music, surfing the Internet, or reading a book, my phone would be very silent as if its battery were completely empty. However, when I start working on any building of mine, I would receive a call or a message at that very moment.
- When this happens, I must switch to "career mode" immediately without talking about this "strange hobby" at all, as people IRL who know this might think that I am crazy.
I would regularly pack up and make a new release at the forum, but the changelog may not be fully accurate. However, please do not always ask me to update GitHub every time, as this is very annoying. Lastly, please do not request me to "add specific content" to my IP's packages immediately after posting a new release. Please patiently wait for the next one before I can fulfill your wish.
There still remains many things to be done in Spacetime Plaza's entirety, so please be patient, and give me a few years before I can officially declare it as "completed." Even DRH took me six (6) years before I can move on, so don't push me.
To sum up, whenever I complete STP, I will stop creating new buildings altogether as I believe I will get error reports more than compliments about the amazing stuff. I will stay in the forum and this wiki to check out other people's awesome content, but there will be no more stand-alone projects initiated by me. (This means that a new building for SRH might be OK for me to create, but no more standalone projects, at least within the foreseeable future.)

Officially separated topics for different matters[edit source]
As being treated like an AI or a bot every time is very annoying, and some people who read my topic may just see "error messages" or "missing textures" and don't download* my buildings at all, it's time to separate my IP's topic into two:
- Main topic (Building updates and releases): Mn10 Integration Project - Main topic
- Discussion topic (All other matters): Mn10 Integration Project - Error reporting/suggestions/other matters
*Note: I am not forcing people to download my releases. If you like other people's buildings more than mine, go ahead, please just don't repeatedly post the same things in my topics, as it is very annoying. I may just stop updating GitHub and only make releases by uploading to MediaFire as usual if this continues. (Even thought it was just "one person" always asking me to update GitHub, I always feel like "a bot" that needs to work perfectly whenever seeing such comments.)
