Wanted these in-game for so long, is it poss to create them?

I am not versed in Blender enough to help you with the blender issues....However I did ask BlenderGuru over at Youtube for some help with a mesh I was working on and still dealing with...he sent me to a blender website. Within about an hour or two I received a response. I know there are people here to help, but sometimes the response time is a little long in waiting...I encourage you to hang tight here, but to also see what happens over there at the Blender forum website. There a ton of people over there who have been using blender since the beginning and have helped with its development and sometimes you get the founder answering questions as well.
Here is the link to Blender Stack Exchange. You will need to register to ask a question...I think. I did just in case I had other questions later on that needed more in-depth answers.
As for the re-coloring, there are a few things you can do.
Take your texture and use your 2d editor of your choosing and make the re-colors that way. There are two tuts within the creator help and/or creator discussion and feedback. Here is the link (can't find the other one):
EA picture frames recolor It may have to do with picture frames, but it works for any object...believe me it is a gem...kit kat had advice, but AdonisPluto had advice too.
Also, Caster is a CAS software program and it's free to use. I used it for my Louis the 4th walls on the scrolling. Here is a pic of the scroll work re-coloring.




I used it to get the coloring just right, then I used my 2d editor to adjust the color levels, hue and contrast and brightness to get the shading and dimension for the scroll work to appear better. It took a bit of "rigging" but it worked. I use GIMP 2.8 and the color > levels helps with keeping the shading and dimension.

I do know that the I beams are possible because a few people have made them for TS3 and they were amazing.
your mesh is looking great by the way...It looks like an I-beam. My step-dad has done construction most of his adult life. I really encourage you to read those tuts and wait for responses here and over at Blender stack exchange. Sorry I couldn't give you any more advice in blender..I am learning too.

You mean something like this?



This is a decoration piece tho, if this is what you ment, then i can try to fix one for you to use on your house.

Thank you augold45 for your very helpful thoughts. Lovely scroll work. I see the colour tones look great with the other colours. The way you described matching them up is great - I found that I needed to do the same but haven't settled on a systematic method yet so I'll try and do it your way. Love the fact that yours repeats perfectly too - which my stripes don't (below).  It must be possible - maybe my initial pattern was the wrong dimensions (50x50px).



Thanks EsEmNL, that certainly gives me hope and thanks for your kind offer.  I would like to be able to have a go but I would be love to see one of those recoloured to look like one of those in my first post, the stripes and the height are super important. 

Thank you bakie for the welcome, for confirming that in-game pillars can't be recoloured and for the links.  I'm pleased that there may be a way forward.  I'm definitely going to look at your disable fading tutorial - I'd given up after trying mods that didn't work. 

You just might have to reclone a column and then do a conversion type situation to get our i-beam into s4s. The game will only look a the i-beam as a column. As for your doo-dads....the stripes....those are going to be tricky. If you want, I will try to find a way in GIMP to get it to work on a column and go from there. You might be able to do it in blender though. Somewhere there is a tut on how to use an image in blender and make the stripes or the image go around an object...like your stripes on the - beam.
Your work is wonderful by the way.


I took some time and found a video for you about the stripes....Now Blender Guru uses rope around the post at a pier....the kind that keeps the boat at the dock... well the rope is wrapped around the post the same way as the stripes will be on your beam. I believe it will help you. Here is the link

Sorry for that orangemittens, it wasn't intended that way. I was just trying to explain how it might be possible. With that said, i actually already tried to do this, and it didn't work, and i am bummed about it, because i really wanted to make this for xeryus, but it's just not possible in any way at this point.

So with that said, xeryus i can still make it in a decoration form, but as a collumn it is not possible at this point, it might be in the future if S4S gets the option to clone collumns. So if you want it in the deco form, i will send you what i already have made, so you can tell me how high you want it (do keep in mind with the wall heights for indoors), then i will increase the height, and try to slap that danger/warning thing around it, if i am not, i am a 100.000.000% sure there are people here who are able to such a thing.

I am doing this for less then 2 months, i started out recoloring first, and since feb i am making meshes, thats why i might struggle with adding that danger/warning around it. Just being honest and up front with you and actually everyone

Yeah it does has the option, but it errors out straight away. TBH, i think the other software is crappy anyway, i only have it because the first tut on meshing i read used it, otherwise it wouldn't be poluting my laptop. Its kinda, i love their site, hate their software kinda thing :P here i love both. This is an awesome community, some people there well.... my momma told me if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything. So enough said about that. Anyways i am looking forward to future updates of S4S, and i think the team (Coders & Website Mods) are doing a great job here, because to maintain a 24/7 positive vibe on a site is hard to do, my hats off to all of you!

Hi again, thank you for what you've all said. I now know for sure that I don't care whether the I-beams have the 'properties' of an in-game column, since that's impossible as of now. So at least that makes me less sad about it all, LOL. Just kidding, hoping to get something close despite this.

Hi EsEmNL - please do send me what you made so I can take a look - I am very grateful to you for having a go. How are you sending ?(I feel silly asking that LOL)? Would you like my email in PM? No probs ))

Hi augold45, thanks again. I love the way he gets you to do it along with him - but what makes me laugh is right at the first stage, where he says "let's just delete everything...," (the program gives you a cube shape when you open a new file) "and start with a circle," - I FAIL straightaway by not knowing how to delete everything. I'll be laughing about this one day.

So, it seems I want to clone and convert. I'm happy to let this sink in for a few days.
