About This File

IMPORTANT - YOU MUST READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO UNZIPPING. YOU WILL NOT BEABLE TO USE THESE SIGNS UNLESS PROPERLY INSTALLED!

ALSO – THOSE WHO DOWNLOADED THE SIGNS BETWEEN 06/06/09 – 06/07/09
I have updated the original zip file. The older zip has additional signs which will not plop. The "DAMN" menu has been updated so only the EBSigns will appear. To delete the other signs, you must go to your "C:\ProgramFiles\Maxis\SC4\Plugins\DAMN\Root\HighwaySigns" folder and delete "signs.dat" This will get rid of the older menu, oh and make sure your regenerate the list by running the
DAMN-Indexer.cmd program mentioned in the installation instructions.

These are the Highway 4 Eastbound Signs. I will release this set on the STEX but the rest are MINE :)

They include...

-- Night Lighting
-- Over 24 Signs
-- Lotted to fit GHW, RHW4, RHW6, RHW Inside and Outside Lanes, Diagnal RHW's-Avenues-GHW's.
-- American Standard Interstate Style Directional SignPost
-- Urbanised Gantry
-- High Detail Readable Signs
-- Organised Menu - Read Instructions for details

The Highway Signs are configured to use the "DAMN-Menu Lots". They will NOT APPEAR in your standard menu and this is done to conserve space and not clutter your menu's aswell as organize the signs.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step1 - Hwy4EBSigns.dat and Hwy4EBxml.dat can be extracted into your Mydoc's SimCity 4 Plugin Folder.

Step2 - "DAMN-Menu.zip" however MUST be opened and extracted into your C:\ SimCity 4 Plugin Folder, if this is not done then you will not be able to use these signs. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT DRAG AND CLICK THEM INTO THE SC4 FOLDER! SELECT "EXTRACT" AND EXTRACT INTO YOUR PLUGIN FOLDER OF YOUR C:\ SC4 Game

Step3 - Go into your C:\ SC4 Plugins folder and select the "DAMN" folder, go into "Support" and then select "DAMN-Indexer.cmd" and it will do the rest.

Failure to follow step 2 and 3 will result in you NOT being able to plop the signs as they are not in the standard menu!

To access the signs, open your news tickers and scroll down to the very bottom where you will find something that says, "Open additional menu's" select that, and then select "Highway 4" and then select "Eastbound" - you will find the signs there.

Now what was the issue with the first one? I had tried to install it, but it only showed up as grey boxes with pics of signs in the in my park section. Any ideas?

Tommy7777 - Make SURE you've read the installation instructions - just extracting all of that to your mydocs plugins folder will not work... To access the signs, open your news tickers and scroll down to the very bottom where you will find something that says, "Open additional menu's" select that, and then select "Highway 4" and then select "Eastbound" - you will find the signs there.

What is the indexer supposed to do because I open it and it just says unspecified system path.

pepsi38 - Did you unzip it before you opened it? and where did you unzip it to? This file is critical as it tells the game how the menus are organised and where to look for the signs. You have to run it, the signs wont work without it. mimoys1 - Did you run the "DAMN-Indexer.cmd" program? It should have been unzipped to your C:\ Plugins\DAMN\Support folder

Your plugins folder on your C:\ - You have two plugins folders. One in your my documents folder, and the other where the game was actually installed. Go to your SimCity 4 Folder where you actually installed the game, NOT your mydocuments SC4 folder but the actual game folder. The Plugins folder will be inside the SimCity 4 folder. You're supposed to unzip the file "DAMN-menu.zip" into your plugins folder there.

Ok, I did end up unzipping it in the wrong plugins folder. Now however i am getting the same as mimoys where I can get the sign new ticker box up and it has a backwards play button, a home button, and a question button but if i click the home and play they do nothing. Any idea whats going on? Sorry I am being so dumb about this.

OOOOOH Yes I had that problem! I remember why you're experiencing this now! I forgot to mention this earlier. Right click on your SC4 Shortcut and select properties and make sure that your Start in: does NOT have "\apps" in it. It needs to look similar to this... "C:\ProgramFiles\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe" and NOT this ""C:\SharedPrograms\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps" Take the \Apps out and save the shortcut and it should begin working fine.

Tell you what, I'll dedicate a few weeks to satisfying some sign requests for everyone on ST... I just need to know what the signs say or a template to use...

simcitybox - No, those signs were released by Yoshiisland. These signs have not been seen on any video until the one I just recently released And thanks for the comments I am going to release a new batch soon.

Still not working. I get the link in the news ticker, but the popup window (with the arrow/home/? buttons) is blank. The signs do appear in the park menu before I di this but are unclickable. Followed all directions to a tee and my 'Start in' field is "C:\PROGRA~1\Maxis\SIMCIT~1\". What else can it be?
