About This File
IMPORTANT UPDATE 06.05.2025 by Tyberius06
This file contains the queries, and the associated images necessary to display the custom queries linked to by the majority of NDEX lots. It has been updated to include queries for industrial lots and for CAMeLots.
Installation: copy/extract the NDEX parent folder into your Plugins. If you extracted the ~Documents folder into your plugins, too, it's highly recommended to keep it, but move it out of the Plugins folder.
This upload now is without installer, so MAC users can use it as well by just extracting or copying the NDEX parent folder into their plugins.
If you have a previous version of this file in your plugins, and it is not installed in the folder where this update is going, you will have to remove that old file manually.
**Bear in mind that as part of the Project ZIP, this file has been extracted from the installer and this version got updated to the same version as on the SC4D LEX SC4Evermore can be found.
As part of the Project ZIP efforts this upload now is extracted from the installer, since this file and the rest of the NDEX contents considered as legacy items this will be the final form of this content for the time being.
Sidenote: likely the other NDEX contents will get some structural update eventually (and the old unecessary queries will be removed as well), however it is important that players should remove any older NDEX related custom query files and the bsc_Essentials_OG.dat - it is superseded by the BSC Essentials 2021 and above (current version is actually v2025a).
************************************************************************************************************************************
This file is required for proper functionality of nearly all NDEX lots. Unfortunately, due to increasingly frequent updates, we have decided to have it be a dependency for our lots so that we may update it when needed without requiring you to re-download lots. This also shrinks each download's size by approximately 600 KB.
This file ("NDEX Global Essentials.dat") has been updated from the one distributed with previous lots. You should delete the one you have in your plugins folder now. In addition, amid much heated debate, it was decided that this file - and this file ONLY - would be distributed via an installer due to the importance of placing it in the correct directory within your plugins folder. Updates will find this file, remove it, and replace it with the newer version when issued, if the files are placed in the default folder.
For now, Mac players can temporarily find the newest version in the recent Dakota Park Place upload. I apologize for the inconvenience. Once I get a website again, I will host this file in generic zip format for you to use and will post a link on this page.

Update - 06.05.2025
There isn't any functional changes, only some small adjustments in the readme and folders.
Since LEX is gone, the same version of the files is getting uploaded to both STEX (this update) and to SC4Evermore as NDEX Global Essentials.
Update - 20.06.2022
In the wake of the Project ZIP and LEX and to support easier understanding and avoiding potential version conflicts, this version was brought to the same version (which is including the queries and UIs of the NDEX related CAM lots) as the SC4D LEX version. Also now it is installerless.
