This article describes a development build of Skyscraper Simulator. It contains good information related to Skyscraper Simulator.

OpenXR (VR support) should work a little better now, I added some positioning fixes, so you can now move around in the sim if you physically move, without using the keyboard controls. I've added support for different elevator malfunction types, and also added escalator malfunctions. An Escalator Control dialog window was added. Buttons have been added to the Elevator Editor, one to select the current elevator you're in, one to malfunction the elevator, and others to set some elevator parameters like ChimeOnArrival. I expanded that window, so let me know if it looks good to you, or if it's too big. The Sound Manager now lets you move sounds. I added a large misc textures package that I've had, it's in the "data/misc" folder, these textures should help out a lot when creating custom buildings. The LoadAnimated command was skipping a frame, I've fixed this.

I started the Custom Objects framework, which allows you to create custom objects with SBS geometry (such as with AddWall/AddFloor, etc), right now this is mainly used to enable physics on them. In the near future I'll be adding possibly object runloop support, so you can perform actions on these objects, such as rotate them while the sim is running, move them, etc.

Since it supports different elevator malfunctions, here's the current malfunctions in the C++ code. It randomly chooses one when malfunctioning.

• Type 0: full malfunction (stop, turn off run state, reset queues, and turn off fans)
• Type 1: partial (stop elevator)
• Type 2: partial (reset queues)

For more information on the other recent features, such as VR support, primitives/shapes and hydraulics, see the 10/6 build post.
