Building Rotator for RE 1.03

[murdilator]

See the title. There has been a building rotator out for TAD for a while, and it is compatible with ES online. The previous ones could work with FP as well. It is kinda cool and I used to have it.

I hope that many of you will enjoy this - it allows rotation just as in the scenario editor.

One question! Won't Aloysius go on a "Hammer of Justice!" rampage and ban people with the rotator?

[murdilator]

Hmmm....He might if people report it. But we would have to ask him personally first. It might be worthwhile.

[Sporting_Lisbon]

The doubt is because you can't rotate the buildings without the said add-on, which brings a little advantage over people who don't have the add-on. There was a similar issue with an add-on that allowed you to zoom out more than usual.

[joe4holly]

How about custom UI then ?

[Sporting_Lisbon]

Solus and ES have made it clear a long time ago that they're fine, it's ok to use them.

[joe4holly]

That then makes Rotators safe to use then. It not that much of a cheat because the game lets you rotator your camera anyway.

[Sporting_Lisbon]

Not just the camera. A dutch base is much more efficient with the building rotator, Alwasim uses it. Getting the banks in diamond shape makes the pathing harder. I wouldn't ban people for it, but Aloysius is hard to figure out.

I agree that you would definetly need permission. I have played vs. alwasim and it pissed me right off every time he used it. A complete unfair advantage.

Lisbon is right though, Aloysius is an odd entity. His banstick might become erect, or perhaps it will remain limp is in the wind... who knows...

[Zutazuta]

It's just modding the game files. If a building rotator is illegal, then so is a fan patch, which RE openly supports. I'd assume its fine to use.

[murdilator]

Or they could put it in their next patch to fix everything . People would actually be excited again, lol. It is just as in the scenario editor.

[Bart331]

I have tried the building rotator but never really liked it, so i think its personal preference if you use it or not. And lol, why ban ppl for rotating a building xD

The Mod was posted for 1.03 Nilla, not TAD.

I have fixed the link and found the real link to what I am talking of:

This was updated, so no wonder I did not see it. It is compatible with all game versions and will not cause CRC mismatch. To test it, I myself should probably try the first go. However, switch from FP to RE may cause it to revert back to normal; idk.
