THIS FEATURE IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY. THE ARTSETS FEATURE IS NOT CURRENTLY COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA OS.


ArtSets are alternate versions of the basic building images that exist in SnapCity. Using ArtSets, you can really customize the look of the cities you build.

To make an ArtSet, follow these steps:

1.)  Run "CreateArtSet.bat" found in the ArtSets folder. A folder called "NewArtSet" will be created in the ArtSets folder.
2.)  Rename this folder to whatever you like.
3.)  Go to the "images\buildings\basic" folder inside this new folder. You will see all the image files for the basic buildings.
4.)  Using an image editing program, you can change any or all of these images. DO NOT RENAME THE IMAGE FILES!

To activate your new ArtSet, follow these steps:

1.)  Launch SnapCity.
2.)  Click the Options button on the main menu.
3.)  Click the ArtSets tab (the 4th tab).
4.)  Click on the checkbox next to your new ArtSet name.
5.)  Click the OK button to save your changes.

Basic building images will be chosen randomly from all the currently active ArtSets. If you don't want to see any of the default building art, uncheck the "Use Default Art Set" checkbox. 
NOTE: If a building image cannot be found, the default image will be used regardless of whether default ArtSets are enabled or not.
