ROAD TOP MASS TRANSIT 1.0

Roadtop Transit is a great idea, but the installation and use of this mod is way to complicated with the different prop families, transit enabling, complications, etc. I'd only recommend it to advanced SC4 players.

way too confusing

i agree with you local_authority01 he should have made an auto installer or something easy like that

I can't figure out how to get this to work. I'm looking at dependencies and installing what I need and am still getting brown boxes for EVERYTHING. Downloaded Berlin which was supposed to work ok- not working ok. What do?

i get the boxes too...

This should really help me because i am building dense cities and the regular bus stops and subway stations just throw space in the trash

what on earth

After getting the dependecies, the lots work, but the only bus stop I'm getting is this UGLY pure blue one, not any of the other bus stop props. Also, the word "Bus stop" is streched across the entire road, and only in one direction.

What should I do ? .. If I place those '' station on the road '' apears ugly brown box..

I'll installed everything exactly as it says to do and I'm still seeing nothing but big cardboard boxes. I would have to say you made installation rather difficult by forcing separate downloads. You can laud something as a team effort and give proper credit where it is due without creating so much extra hassle. Any ideas why this isn't working? I'm moving the respective files in the models and props folders, as explained. I even tried just dumping everything into one folder, but still... nothing. Thoughts? Great idea, I hope to take advantage of it.

i'm getting brown boxes. the brown boxes are named phone booth but i can't find any cure to this please help

Install_RTMTV3_SingleProps_PropSet.exe
Comes with the download. How hard can it be.

One suggestion: simplify the ReadMe.

I take that back, I missed the installation examples document. Installation aside, brilliant idea and product!

thanks

Would it really have killed you to list the dependencies on this page, rather than the documentation?

OH MY GOD the brown boxes are back HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can there be an installer to make it easy to install? This is jsut WAY too complex for me. Apparently there is a instaler, but clicking the link brings me to the main page for the download section.

brown boxes again!

FOR AMATEURS OUT THERE LIKE ME! READ THIS!

I have finally discovered how to make this thing work. NO MORE BROWN BOXES. It is very important that you read the documentation, it is long, I know, so I will try to simplify what I did.

I installed the RTMTV3 folder in the plugins folder (my documents/simcity4/plugins). then read the ReadMe file where the dependency files are listed, you need to download the models you like, all the dependencies links are provided, YOU DONT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE ONES YOU DONT WANT, and for simplicity, don't download more than one type of model, for example, download only one type of bus stop. Put the downloaded files anywhere in the plugins folder (put them in subfolders if you like).

Then basically what you need to do is delete a bunch of files. in the InstallationExamples file, you will find 4 examples, I left my main RTMTV3 folder exactly like the first example (once again, this is done by deleting the rest of files that dont appear in the first example). Then open the ReadMe file and go to dependencies, and look up which file you must have in the "Props" folder for the model to work, and then delete all other model types. For example: to select the [color=#000000][background=rgb(224, 208, 192)]Ninja's BusSign Model,[/background][/color] download the dependencies into the plugins folder, then go to the "Props" folder and you will find three .dat files that begin with "[color=#000000][background=rgb(224, 208, 192)]RTMTV3_Prop_BusSign_[/background][/color]".. you want to use the "Ninja" model type so delete [color=#000000][background=rgb(224, 208, 192)]RTMTV3_Prop_BusSign_TfL.dat [/background][/color]and [color=#000000][background=rgb(224, 208, 192)]RTMTV3_Prop_BusSign_TH.dat[/background][/color].. leaving only [color=#000000][background=rgb(224, 208, 192)]RTMTV3_Prop_BusSign_Ninja.dat[/background][/color].. Do the same with the other models, and you're done, no more brown boxes! Take into account: in some [color=#000000]tables, the single prop implementation are coloured [/color][color="#662020"]BROWN[/color][color=#000000], and the prop family implementations [/color][color="#006600"]GREEN[/color][color=#000000]. Please install either implementation, BUT NOT BOTH![/color]

Okay, so far I really like this mod. I've installed the props as singles and I see there are 2x1 options there for bus stops, etc. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand what the 2x1 options are used for. What is their purpose? Why would I use them over the regular bus stops (1x1)?

Thanks for any insight you guys can offer!

If you're having issues installing this there is a version with an (more or less) automatic installer, so you don't have to manually delete any files. Just google Road-Top Mass-Transit V3.50 and look for the version that has "installer" in the name. You might have less flexibility in choosing the styles, but if you're like me and only want one functionality (i.e. I just wanted bustops on sidewalks) and could care less about the way it looks, the installer is the way to go.

Yes it worked!
It took a while but i finaly did it! W00T!

10/10
