Name : The Ruby
Theme : Indian
Exterior: Large

Interior: erm, Large as well

Author: Don Greg, me

File Size: 25kb

Group : Its a .rar file if this is what you mean.

Sorry about the name, first thing that popped into my head and couldn't think of anything better. This section of the forum seems a little underpopulated so I thought I would try posting my design here. Its not terribly brilliant but its profitable and fairly well organised and actually looks quite nice. Judge for yourself:

A brief description then. At the sides near the front are two symmetrical premium areas. The one on the right from the POV of the screenshot is the very high stakes one and the one on the left less so. The entrance has a Texan card game table and a black jack one at low stakes. Apart from that it is just scenery and benches.  Unless this gets the punters in a good mood (as they are forced to pass through this section)  it just looks nice and the game tables are not really profitable.

Past that you have craps tables on a raised level to reduce noise with some ATMs. The lounges are in the upper right corner and upper middle are slots. Offices and facilities and such are on a lower level in the upper left hand corner and noise and sound are kept down fairly well by the lowered level. There is a bar and a progressive slots thing on the left of the craps tables and the loos are in the centre left and rights extremes (the black 'L' shaped walls stop the stench from spreading out). Apart from that there are two buffets littered around.

First post, so please don't be too harsh.

In lui of an actual readme here is what you should know:

Installation: Pretty simple. Put the .lua file (the only one) in a directory called C:\Program Files\Empire Interactive\VEGA$ - Make It Big\GAMEDATA\Scripts\Objects\UserDefinedInteriorTemplates\India_LargeCasino. Your unzipper might have itself set up so it automatically creates directories ofr you. Otherwise you will have to make one yourself if it doesn't already exist. You will need WinRAR to open the file I am afraid.

Disclaimer: If your computer blows up or otherwise becomes damaged or your copy of V:MIB becomes unplayable its not my fault and so you use this file at the risk of it causing your computer to melt. 

Lastly of course is the actual file (I am praying it works):

EDC_Ruby.rar

Nice Casino, thanks for posting it. I will download it. I don't have the game installed at the moment but when I do, I'll try your casino out.

Have you downloaded the rest of the casinos yet. Press Show all at the top in the Attraction Template Exchange, otherwise, the only downloads that will show will be downloads posted in the last week or so.

Tell me what you think if my casinos when/if you've tried. I've got three medium casinos and three small ones, I haven't ever actually made an impresssive large one, might have a go at it some other time.

I've made a casino. (for once) I'll post it next time I'm using my computer. It's London themed. I've named it Albert Square Casino because it sounds Englishy. (and yes, it's also the name of a street in a T.V soap-Eastenders)

(You should be able to name buildings. I could name the bar 'Queen Vic's...)

Cool, sorry I havn't replied but I havn't had the chance. I will keep churning those Casinos out though. I have noticed this is the Attraction template exchange section rather then just the Casino template exchange. Can you make pre-built templates for other things then? Or is the name just in anticipation of an addon pack or some inventive modder?

Thanks for giving my Casino the Casino of the week award. I feel special.

 Unfortunately, There is just casinos here. Unless someone wanted your saved game.

LoL, I felt special when I won ALOT of those COTW awards.

It's a shame the amount of casinos being sent is getting fewer and fewer though...
