Hi, please can someone tell me where it is specified which of the three window height sections a window should appear in the catalog? Where we indicate if it is tall, short or medium?
Oh! I am surprised to learn that the catalog interface looks in resources other than the top level catalog resources (well, and the string files)! Thanks for your help
Is there a way to have a cutout in the ceiling for an object? I've been looking at this and I can't seem to put my finger on it. I have tried several things but the cutout always stays on the floor.
I think you'll need to make a "dance floor" based invisible object to place on the floor above to effect the cutout, while placing the actual object you want to stand under the cutout on the floor it's meant to be on. In previous games (and probably this one also) there are additional fields to say what level offset the cutout is meant to go on and even add cutout entries for more than one cutout, but I wouldn't know how it's done in TS4 or if the community tools are aware of it in order to edit it.
I have looked at the BT for the footprint and the level offset is currently unused so the invisible or alternate object on the upper floor may be the best way to go for the time being. Thanks.
The stair cutouts are generated procedurally by the code so the only input to that is the dimension and placement information for the staircase. And technically there isn't actually a cutout per-se for stairs, it's actually just suppressing the appropriate floor tiles.

This is defined in the MTBL resource (type 0x81ca1a10).
I made a .bt file for this resource a while back when @pbox asked about it. But forgot to post it oops.
Posted now: here. The field you want is minimumWallHeight.
