Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:17, 2 March 2024 (CST)

It will be nice to see some of my stuff being used in your places. I'm guessing that you are using my "M10_Elev..." functions to easily create elevators of different sizes, or possibly installing my exit signs there. Regardless of your choice, your buildings will look good with the different content being used there.

Being someone who make my own buildings*, I don't know if I will be able to check out your creations or not, as I would, in the simulator, mostly spend time on editing and checking my creations. However, I can say that your buildings are a good start, according to what I've taken a look from your and Elevator1512's YT channels. I hope your buildings will get better and better in the future.

*Most users who create their own buildings may not always check out other people's stuff, just like what EG881 said in the old forum: "I don't have much in my buildings folder, because I cannot keep track of everybody's projects..." MelvinMan10 (talk) 10:11, 14 March 2024 (CDT)

I've installed your automatic doors in one of my buildings. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 05:41, 26 March 2024 (CDT)

Can you download my integration project? Or did you downloaded? Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 11:23, 1 April 2024 (CDT)

Yes, We hope my buildings will get better & better in the future. I'm currently progressing a shopping center in Skyscraperville which will be a lot better. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:37, 5 April 2024 (CDT)

Berlin TV Tower Updates

For Berlin TV Tower Updates Topic, go to Talk:Berlin TV Tower. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 11:24, 24 May 2024 (CDT)

Important announcement

I will be very inactive in less than 40 minutes, more information in my talk page. So my integration project is set to on hold for a while. Comment crossed out because it's already past. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:16, 6 June 2024 (CDT)

Now I'm going to improve some minor things in Park Inn Tower Berlin. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:52, 7 June 2024 (CDT)

no title

I wanted to post a picture about Park Inn Tower Berlin on Scratch Forum, but it says it's having issues with our servers. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 11:45, 10 June 2024 (CDT)

no title

For B&B Hotel Central Berlin, I put a question mark at the end because we're not sure if we take this hotel or the Scandic Hotel. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 06:27, 6 July 2024 (CDT)

If we don't take B&B Hotel Alexanderplatz, then this planned building would be likely cancelled. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 08:18, 8 July 2024 (CDT)

We choosed a better hotel, the Scandic Hotel Ku'damm, and I cancelled the B&B Hotel building. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 07:05, 9 July 2024 (CDT)

A suggestion

I feel like it would be more clear if you put the color on the building name itself instead of the asterisk. The asterisks are good, but it may be hard to see depending on who's viewing from what device. Elevator1512 (talk) 10:36, 7 July 2024 (CDT)

Ok, thanks for your suggestion. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 10:37, 7 July 2024 (CDT)

They are very easy to see in my laptop.

Done! But I was only putting the color on the first building names. I will fix it likely later. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 10:37, 7 July 2024 (CDT)

To everyone who downloaded the latest release before today

Some missing textures have finally been added into the latest release. Please remember to re-download it!

If you have downloaded that just now, you don't need to redownload the latest release because it's already included there. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 06:29, 2 February 2025 (CST)

Important announcement

I will do a one-week hiatus because I will be very busy practicing for the French learning control and other commitments every day. I'm sorry, but my integration project will be on-hold until probably February 11, 2025. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:50, 6 February 2025 (CST)

I'm feeling a bit down

Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to delay my work on Skyscraperville High Street for probably one week. This is because I'm not feeling all that great right now. Afterwards, I will resume work on this IP. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 08:07, 18 February 2025 (CST)

Update: 30/04/2025

A new staircase has been built serving the platform level (-2) with the concourse level (-1) in the High Street.

Soon, I hope to have a good start on Lighthouse Cruise Center. Lighthouse Cruise Center will be a 2-floor ferry terminal located in Skyscraperville too, with an 8-floor telecommunications tower nearby. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:42, 30 April 2025 (CDT)

Nice and interesting stuff. Will there be an elevator in the telecommunications tower? Elevator1512 (talk) 13:45, 30 April 2025 (CDT)

Yes, there will be a classic elevator in the telecommunications tower. I will be inactive right now, bye! Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 15:00, 30 April 2025 (CDT)

Update: 02/05/2025

Construction has been started on Lighthouse Cruise Center, but yet without the telecommunications tower. What I wanted to say is that a Stahl goods lift was added into the ferry terminal. It serves K (-1) (Storage and Boiler Room), 0 (Arrivals), 1 (Departures) and 2 (Observatory and Offices). Note there is a rear door and it opens on the 1st floor.

See this weird elevator door? Next, I hope to install a second track into the High Street.
I wanted to tell y'all too that the ferry terminal has planned to have 6 Stahl elevators (4 goods lifts and 2 passenger lifts; 1 already built, y'know that), additionally a classic Otis elevator in the telecommunications tower. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 11:06, 2 May 2025 (CDT)

This type of door has never seen before on Skyscraper.

Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 11:07, 2 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 03/05/2025

In an unexpected turn of events, focus has been stayed on Lighthouse Cruise Center. 3 more goods lifts have been installed there, that means, all goods lifts have been installed. The left lift in the left of the picture is the goods lift that was already built yesterday.

All goods lifts look exactly the same, but they serve different floors: I already said which floors the left lift on the back serve. The right lift on the back serves K, 0 and 1, the right lift on the front serves K, 0 and 2 and the left lift on the front only serves K and 0.

Soon, I hope to build a second track into the High Street. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 13:07, 3 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 04/05/2025

A second track has finally been installed into the High Street Subway Station.

Next, I hope finish installing the elevator there.

To-Do List before releasing Build 6:
1) Finish installing the elevator in the High Street Subway Station
2) Finishing the Cruise Center structure while installing passenger elevators and building the telecommunications tower there
3) Expanding the Thalia building and improving the Fielmann store in the High Street
4) Finishing The Piles Centre Phase III

I'm still reluctant to announce the next build release date but it might come sometime this summer. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 06:38, 4 May 2025 (CDT)

Bonus special

I had been meaning to show these pictures yesterday when the four Stahl goods lifts were built (Actually, the pictures were made today):

Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 10:30, 4 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 05/05/2025

The elevator at the subway station in High Street is now 95% complete, all what I still need to do is an empty room above the ground floor so that lift inspectors can inspect the lift until the lift is on the ground floor (and of course the cartop chassis).

Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 08:59, 5 May 2025 (CDT)

Just something to tell you

You may have noticed that the rear door (Thalia lift) not only opens on the ground floor, but also opens on the basement floor. Originally, a delivery ramp near that lift was planned, but now I decided that the Thalia bookstore will have a Haushahn goods lift in the south side of the building. I also decided that the rear door inside the existing Thalia lift will still open on the basement, but that will be used for another purpose. My intention is that this lift would be useful for the underground passage when the glass Otis GeN2 lift go out of service. It means this lift will be the second lift for the underground passage. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:36, 5 May 2025 (CDT)

Important announcement

I will be inactive during 18 o'clock (CEST) because I will be busy with exercises for the politics learning control. This sadly means that my IP will be on hold for a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience, but the next update will be probably on Thursday. My next job for the IP is make the Otis GeN2 lift in the High Street 100% complete. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 10:59, 6 May 2025 (CDT)

No title

Originally, I wanted to post the new update today, but these unforeseen circumstances impeded my progress once again. Still, I worked on the Otis GeN2 elevator in High Street, this means, it is now 98% complete (but not the chassis). I can't show you the picture as it's evening for me and I've turned off my computer. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 13:13, 11 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 12/05/2025

Hello, I didn't mean to leave a gap for a few more days! Unfortunately, those unforeseen circumstances yesterday impeded my progress once again, this sadly means the Otis GeN2 elevator in High Street is still not 100% complete, that means it is now 98% complete. All I still need to do - is the chassis!

After the chassis work, I hope to continue work on Lighthouse Cruise Center. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:08, 12 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 12/05/2025 - evening

The chassis on the cartop of the Otis GeN2 elevator in High Street has been finally built! This means, this elevator is now 100% complete! I will record and post a video of this elevator soon if anyone is interested in.

I also wanted to tell you that the chassis feature has been added to RealisticTopBox2024. Next, as said before, I will continue work on Lighthouse Cruise Center. The release will come on or before June 20, 2025. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:56, 12 May 2025 (CDT)

YouTube video

So, now I've posted a YouTube video about the Otis GeN2 elevator in the High Street. Here's the link to watch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgv11UcEw-A Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:19, 13 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 16/05/2025

Three improvements were made to the Thalia building in Skyscraperville High Street. Here is the list of improvements:

- Elevator has now a chassis
- Elevator shaft is now visible from outside
- Elevator shaft was widen a little to give room for the counterweight (that means, you can no longer see the counterweight inside the elevator)

My next job will be adding the passenger elevators into Lighthouse Cruise Center. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:35, 16 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 17/05/2025

Some more improvements were added to the Thalia building in Skyscraperville High Street. Here is the list:

- Elevator door tracks added
- Carpet changed
- Elevator rear external walls changed to metal (ground floor only)

As said before, my next job will be adding the passenger elevators into Lighthouse Cruise Center. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 13:20, 17 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 18/05/2025

Unfortunately, for the third time, some unforeseen circumstances impeded my progress again, this sadly means I haven't added the passenger elevators to Lighthouse Cruise Center yet. Instead, call buttons has been added to goods lifts. Here is a screenshot.

Hopefully I will be adding the passenger elevators there tomorrow. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:56, 18 May 2025 (CDT)

I'll have to contact eventhorizon about this, there have been issues with uploads before. Elevator1512 (talk) 21:46, 18 May 2025 (CDT)

Try adding those image links back in, eventhorizon has since fixed this. I'll even upload a couple of test files tomorrow otherwise. Elevator1512 (talk) 22:59, 18 May 2025 (CDT)

It's working fine now! Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 07:12, 19 May 2025 (CDT)

Lighthouse Cruise Center - Passenger Lifts

So, I want to tell you something... The left lift will be modernized with DMG buttons and NewLift chime, while the right lift almost stays original (except the shaft doors in the basement) so that y'all can see how the lifts looked like before it was modernized. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:14, 21 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 21/05/2025

Progress has been started inside the left passenger elevator in Lighthouse Cruise Center. Now, I can say that it is 50% complete, because the buttons and the indicator aren't there yet.

Tomorrow, I will finish the left passenger elevator and have a start on the right passenger elevator, which is original.

Bonus: I had been meaning to show this 2 days ago, when the Otis elevator in High Street had the chassis changed to make this more realistic.

Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 14:27, 21 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 22/05/2025

The left passenger elevator in Lighthouse Cruise Center is now 90% complete, all what I still need to do is changing the buttons for realism, but I will do that after the building internal work.

My next job for tomorrow will be progressing the right passenger elevator, which is almost original.

About RealisticTopBox2024 (Chassis function): One more value (4 = 135 degree) in the direction parameter and one additional parameter (height) have been added. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:52, 22 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 23/05/2025

Unfortunately, I couldn't get to finish the left passenger elevator and to construct the right passenger elevator due to the piano lesson. That means, the left one is now 99% complete. All what I still need to do - is changing the button textures.

My next job for tomorrow, as I said, will be constructing the right passenger elevator, which is almost original. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 13:10, 23 May 2025 (CDT)

Update: 24/05/2025

Both passenger elevators in Lighthouse Cruise Center have been 100% completed (except the outside indicator for the left one). I'm super proud of how these elevators turned out.

My next job for tomorrow will be adding the outside indicator for the left passenger elevator and 2nd floor interior work.

Off-Topic: My website has reached 1.000 views! But the bad news is that The LE Portfolio wouldn't be publicly updated anymore. Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 12:21, 24 May 2025 (CDT)
