No comments. 10/10

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

My rule of thumb....if its by Simgoober I just dowload it no questions asked....always great stuff

^ True, but I'm disappointed with this one... The station blowed after I tried to place a FAR piece near it, now I can't rebuild anything on it cuz something is corrupted in the zone

Nice

This station is the best yet, but unfortunately I can't download the dependency textures or the other BCS files. They seem to be under administration control and/or missing, so I have a blue entranceway (sucks!). Can anyone reinstate those files or what ??

I am having the same problem. I have found these files (I think) on the LEX, but there is no change to the "blue abyss" walkway and grass.

Got a small problem on this lot recently that the whole station model is off from the lot. I know it's an old mod but is that fixable?

Hi everyone , I had this station. Its very nice, the best !!
I picked up the game after about 10 years.
Now, when I try to put it on the map, SimCity closes, I have all the dependencies.
Does anyone know what it could be?

Do you have SC4Fix? If not get it - this might solve your problem entirely. If the game crashed when you attempted to move the building over any kind of network (road, rail, etc.), SC4 fixes that bug completely.

Hi nos.17, I love that there are people who give their time to help, thank you !!! 
I tried SC4Fix, even in a new city. And when trying to put the station (as the first object) SC4 closes, it's happening to me with other BATs too. I have a MAC, I don't know if it has to do with it.

Since you mentioned you're on mac, it could be due to the mac rep 0 bug. It's a quick fix, so see if this file works for you - I booted up the old mac mini for the first time in a long time to test and the fix worked for me. If it does work we'll get the file updated for everyone else.

While you're at it, you can disregard SC4Fix as it won't work for you on mac. The apple giveth and the apple taketh away.

I don't know how to start the message to thank you, seriously! thank you ! 
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer and find me the solution, you are the best !!!,
it works perfect !! I can't believe it.
I don't want to waste more of your time, I was attached to this station because I remembered it in my old cities, but I have several other BATs that close my MAC, is it difficult to fix them? I can learn quickly if I know how to do it (I have live reader 0.93 if necessary), or do I make a list of the ones I see so that they can be fixed and also another Mac user can use them? or both (I fix them, and I make a list and share them fixed) ?...

And one last question. If I then switch to Windows at some point again, does this newly modified file work there in Windows or do I have to keep the old unmodified version as well?

Thank you !!!!

It's not a waste of my time. This is my hobby, after all!

This bug will appear for any lots which are transit enabled, typically stations. It is very easy to fix - see the explanation rsc204 put together (which I also linked in my previous comment). In short, open up the problem file in reader, and any property that has data type Float32 and is holding a single value must have number of reps = 0 - the single value with number of reps = 1 is what is causing the issue.

The fixed file will work fine on all platforms Win/Mac/Linux, so fortunately no issues there! If you want to fix them yourselves, go for it! Any other broken ones you come across I'd ask that you Report the file as affected with the "Mac TE bug". If you're comfortable fixing it, I'm sure if you attach the fixed file the STEX admins would be appreciative, though no worries if you're not because if you know what you're looking for it's approximately a 30 second fix. The only complication is the installers packaging the files (including this one), but there's significant effort to finally rid ourselves of all of them.

I do not know if there is a central list of all the problem and fixed files; I'll do a little poking around with other users and find out. Either way any items you find to contribute to the list would be greatly appreciated.

thanks thanks nos,17 !!
I was seeing and fixing some that closed my SC4... so far I fixed 3 of this page and one of a page in Spanish. The funny thing is that it was a Building C$$ and Landmark (which does not have transit properties), and when I entered what I changed was not a Float32 data type property, but a Unit32 that also had a single element and the rep value in 1 I put it in 0... and it worked !!. 

Well, due to lack of time, I'm going to continue on Wednesday, and there I report with the "Mac TE bug" everything I found and share those files...

I don't think it's right to continue here ... because this building is already solved, I'll send you a message with what I can do? Well, as I said, I understand it's a hobby of yours (I share that ), but I still don't want to bother you with messages, is there another place where I should continue writing about these ?

again... Thank you

Agree. Feel free to message for now. We should track all the files found and fixed so we can ensure they get recorded and tagged as mac-compatible.
