First off, these are a joy to recolor for novices like me (this is my first one! *does happy dance*) when using SimPE 31b.

I am so thrilled that I want to post the pic here (I hope you don't mind). you can download my rusted version of these stairs with dirty glass in the recolor thread for these stairs.

Thank you Numenor! Thank you, thank you! *big smooch*

Default Problems getting the stairs to show
I downloaded brasstex's stairs, followed the instructions and they work fine but are not recolorable...at least for me. Anyway, I installed the holy smoke stairs, edited my script text again, started the game and it crashed. I think it has something to do with the # of the steps in the script text. I put 20 because I figured with all the recolors it had to be that much. Thank heavens I backed up my script. Now I'm totally confused what to do. I'd like to go back to my original script (if I had one) and start all over again. Any advice much appreciated!

PATZI:

My stairs don't work like Brasstex ones; installing my stairs requires simply copying the package to the download folder, no additional step is to be performed!

Brasstex (that I heartly thank for having explained how *custom* stairs work) uses a completely different approach: his stairs are *additional* stairs, different from the Maxis ones.
On the contrary, my stairs are a *replacement* of the Maxis ones (a temporary and reversable replacement).

You haven't read carefully the Installation Instructions I've put in Post #1, have you?

Anyway, in case anyone was wondering, my stairs and Brasstex' ones can peacefully co-exist in the Build Mode catalog. Brasstex' stairs aren't recolourable because he cloned one of the original Maxis stairs, and none of them are recolourable.

I've finally started my Journal. Information only, no questions.

You should ask this to a Moderator or Administrator, I'm just a "simple" user... :D

Default Holy Smokes you so rock!
Holy Smokes you so rock!

I have been trying for two weeks on this set of stairs. I got it cloned, recolored but I cant find it anywhere in build. But then it does have the group fffffffffff ad infinite associated to it so maybe that is my problem. I dunno, but now I can abandon this frustratingly time consuming endeavor and actually use YOURS to do some recolors! I, like everyone else, love the stairs because they are suspended, plus they are way cool for tree houses, except the metal/glass looks goofy when everything else is wood, which is the first color I going to make!!!

NECTERE: You have tried for two weeks? LOL, I've been trying for three months! It's not a GroupID problem: I had to completely rebuild the internal file structure...

Please post your "wooden" recolours, I'm eager to download them!

It's a hard work converting a stair, even now that I've understood the method... I don't promise, but I'll try!

Thank you so much Numenor to answer me, I really appreciate and I allready made some recolor with these littles stairs, you will see that very soon;-)

Another request. I know you work very hard and I really apprciate everything you done for all of us, I very much appreciate you (actually, your my hero;-)) I would like to know if recoloring the fence will be possible soon?

My favorite modular stair is the black iron one and the fence matching with.

If its possible, I would like to be able to recolor them.

Anyway, very big thank to you. You can't imagine how happy actually I am (big kiss to you)

Oooops! I've read your suggestion too late... I've posted right now the recolourable "Wooden Stairs".
Maybe next time...

NECTERE:
Your recolour is wonderfully detailed; very nice! Please post it in the Recolours thread": I'm sure many other users want to download them! (When you have posted there, please remember to remove the attachment here).
Maybe you should use a similar texture for the Wooden Stairs, too: a cheap, worn wood for cheap stairs

Numenor - Will do. I have made a couple more recolors since I posted that one, using a lot more detail and different wood types, also utilizing embossing etc for "nails" etc. I need to go into the balastrade files now and see if I cant match some of the standard balastrade wood textures so that my stairs can match them and my treehouse/whatever can have all matching wood textures. I have a boat load of really nice wood swatchs. I have done black palm and Australian gum so far....anyway. As a special note I am not working on rails for these stairs because I dont use rails on this type for my purposes, I suppose I should before I make a thread with recolors...hmmmm. Truth is though I havent even ventured into that part yet.

oh I like your recolored wooden deck stairs, now do I need to make a seperate thread for those recolors too if I have any recolors to share?

ILILAS:
Sorry, I forgot to answer to the last part of your post...
Unfortunately, I don't know how to recolour the fences. They are more similar to walls then to "objects", and so far I haven't studied them.

NECTERE:
I have already started a thread for the Recolours for the Wooden Stairs.
As for the Holy Smoke railings, if you don't wan't to spend much time on them, I suggest to simply recolour that small rectangle in the upper left corner of the texture with a colour compatible with the rest of the stairs (just to avoid to have a green railing with a blond wooden stair...).

I'm having a problem with getting the colors to work using the design tool in the game. I can't get the second from the top step to change colors, nor can I get the railings to recolor. What am I doint wrong?

I don't know why, but the second top step is difficult to "click"...
I find useful trying to click it on his side: zoom on the step an rotate the camera to watch the side of the stairs.
