Hey everybody! long time been away working on stuff, but an idea recent flew into my head for a game coming out.
Anyhow I was wondering if there is any plan to bring the Mega Mall into the TLX format anytime soon, or if it has been done already. I got a LOT on my plate and dont think I have the time for a proper kitbash.

All replys thanks much for any info

I've been working on making a TLX version of a lot of the Mayhem Mega Mall for my own purposes (mall combat comes up a LOT in my modern games, even if there are no zombies or boomers around...). There are some design issues with the frontages and certain store props that make it a LOT more difficult than a straight-up conversion.

Also, some the graphics are noticably dated and need reworking completely, so it goes from being an 'update' and into 'major large new project' territory. The whole mall is actually about two or three times the size of the existing TLX builds as well... so it's a pretty gargantuan undertaking to do all over.

Though, now that you asked...

What parts of the Mega Mall are you really interested in making into TLX? (And please don't say "All of it".) I was going to do a little more TLX work on the mall after my two upcoming store revisions... and was wondering where people would like to begin.

yeah I saw your kitbashes and they were nice, kind of what I was going for. Although to do traditional, TLX format the double sided walls are whats getting to me. That and the hunger growing for a complete TLX mall.

That said I think the shops are great (and I do want all of it) but maybe starting off with overall floors for the mall or the entrance side walls.

Myself was thinking of adapting the Apartment set for the outside walls and trying to come up with an overall floor pattern for the overall mall layout. Of course I have way too much in painting commissions currently to even want to think about this, but I still do.

If what you want is sides that match, why not just do ALL walls one sided, and slot two into the posts - an inside texture for the store, and an outside wall of your choice? Would that work, or is it too thick for the slot?

If it worked for the mall it would also work for the First Light... hmmm. I must try this.

it was more of, i dont really have the time, but i really want it. I actually did some floor layouts and they look great, and the more i look at them the crazier it drives me.

The stores were to have their wall be the same on both sides, but like a real mall there was/is a back hallway that separates the stores from the outside wall. So it would be a 6x6 store with all walls matching the store and behind that a 3x6 maintenance hall that would have a 2 sided wall. one side matching a maintenance hallway and the other side be the outside wall.

Only issue I see coming across this, is that I need time. lol

This is something that I do often with walls (it is especially handy for closed/open doorways).

What makes a little more sense is something I realized while working on some of my TLX test builds. You're going to be doubling up on walls quite a bit on the interior of many maps already (where the rooms are notably different). Basically, there's a wall on the left edge of a 6x6 tile. The tile next to it has another wall that bumps on the right edge. Only thing you have to do then is make sure your doors and windows line up.

The only place this doesn't work, obviously, is when you're on the outer edge of your assembly. There you can just mix and match wall halves as you need. (Cut the walls along the main fold line, then glue together the pairs you need.)
