BSC Prop Packs and Textures.

[Bandero 5]

I was downloading some of Simgoober's earlier BATs -very good ones BTW- and came to a problem with dependencies. On the readme file of the SG_Krogerv103 BAT, there's a list of all the dependencies, some of them when I looked for them it said that those packs were withdrawn from the STEX and included on some Megapacks. However there were 2 that the file was not found on the STEX, those are PropPakmjbFlowersVol03 and PropsPakmjbTreesAndBushesVol03.

Are these props part of any Megapack? if so, which one? Thanks in advance for your help and don't worry if someone criticize your BATs because of the dependencies. They are worth every single Byte.

Bandero: The prop packs you need are in BSC Mega Pack MJB 0108 on the STEX. Those were the old names for the packs and they have been combined into bigger packs but no changes made to the props or IIDs.

Buckbeach: There is no need to have the old and new props loaded. See me answer above. The only way to control the type of field that grows is to edit the lot file in iLive's Reader and remove the reference to the fields that you do not want to grow. If you just remove fields from the packs, farms may grow without fields at all or you may get two or more farms growing on the same zone.

Guess I'm screwed, blued and tattooed here and that's sad as it eliminates me from wanting to use the underlying great work of the farms and reward system.  Not everyone is savvy enough to use the rather complicated iLives Reader (at least not this tired old man). To bad more thought wasn't given to some flexibility before locking everyone into the same mold.

Hi Vlakhaas,

 

Any find a CSX BAT PROPS-DERBY VOL. 01 A DAT (Include) It calling Bonus But It wasn't in there for install? Medium builds of 3 empty on props and Simtropolis Broadcast Centre?

 

Its DEDWD Herald & Weekly Times Building with 3 Medium Builds.

 

If you could be find this and infor. me Please?

 

Thanks,

 

Congrats of your Bonus as awesome!

buckbeach: a great deal of thought went into the Farming EP packs before they were released. The easiest way is to see which farms you do not want to grow - for example the banana plantation - and remove them from your plugins. You can remove the farms but not the fields. Most of the farms were set to grow a variety of crops so you should be able to narrow down those whose fields are what you want to grow.

SimCityMafia4: Vlakhaas has to day uploaded a pack with all the Derby buildings in. It is here: CSX BAT Props Derby Vol 01
I have some lots using these to post as well.

I am getting Brown Box for the Distilleria del Hogo.  According to the Dependcy list there only three items and I have them all. 

Love all the work you guys put into this and thanks for the help.

Ander1212: you also need BSCBATProps RT Vol 03 . I am sorry but this was missed from the dependency list.

Barby,

 

Thanks for the quick response, but I actually have that prop pack already.   COuld it be something else?  Thanks for your help

 

Ander

[BarbyW 40]

Anders1212; Can you post a picture here please as I have checked both the growable and the reward and no other packs are being called on? I need to see where the box is to try and help further.

Here it is.  It took me awhile how to find and then figure out the whole upload thing.   Thanks again for your help

ANDERS1212 - you appear to be missing ALL the props on this lot. You need BSC BATPROPS RT Vol 01 as explained in the Readme. Please reinstall this file.

Barby,

 

Thank you very much.  I found it in my trashcan as I never install and just threw away the folder from my desktop.  When I did a search of my system I did not pay attention that the file was my trash can.  I apologize for wasting your time.  I have read plenty of these threads and I din't want to be the dumb guy who didn't read the readme. 

 

Thanks again.

Hi folks. This question could just as easily belong in the farming EP comments thread,so my apologies if it's misplaced:

I'm having problems with the first set of Simgoober's farm fields. I appear to have all the dependencies listed, but looking at the fields in Reader, I seem to be missing:

SG_Fields_Beans.dat,

SG_Fields_Corn.dat,

and so on, for all seven of the fields.

 

Where can I find these, please? I assume they were bundled with something I just haven't downloaded yet...

[BarbyW 40]

Those dats were included in the install for the fields. They were installed to a props folder in the Fields folder. If you are having problems with the looks of the fields I would recommend reinstalling the fields packs.

[eltdown 1]

Thanks BarbyW, that's helped me solve the problem. I rarely install stuff to the path the installers recommend, so I usually have a holding folder whilst I edit files in Reader. In this case I'd decided to install them to the desktop, and the props folder wasn't being created. I don't know if that's a quirk with the installer or Windows, but either way, problem solved and lessons learned.

Thankyou!

Simgoober:   Back in June you posted that you were working on a list of prop and dependancy packs.  Have you been able to complete it?  If so, where can I find it?

[SimGoober 2,353]

I never posted it, as it is an ever evolving list.  I use a template in SC4Tool to make my readmes, and it has this list in it.  Once the Tool generates the readme, I delete the dependencies that are not needed on this lot.

 Here is my current working list.

 

[SimGoober 2,353]

Interesting.. I put the HTML in the post.. and I think I broke something.. lol.. can't even edit the post.

 

I attached a zip of the basic HTML part of it, with links.

[ardecila 125]

Er.. this is kind of a big request, but here it is:

Do you think, either in the STEX descriptions or somewhere on the forums, that you could enumerate the props in each prop pack, with rough dimensions? Doing so will allow the community members to better select which prop packs to download when they are making lots, and also make it easier within BSC to use your prop packs efficiently. Lastly, it will help greatly to avoid duplicate props. If I installed the entire BSC prop library, I'm sure I would have at least 3 or 4 different 16m straight chainlink fence props, which look quite similar.

There have been two circumstance recently where BSC props could have enriched the look of one of my lots. I only found these props later, after the lot had already been finalized.

[deadwoods 542]

@ardecila, big job that

Before iLive went AWOL, he did produce a prop viewer tool that was great for visually scrolling through props. I don't think he ever officially released it, but I know a few folks were testing it. We've asked for a similar feature to be included in the SC4Tool; a means to scan through props. I expect Simrolle will have something soon.

[SoulStealer 12]

Great job on the new packs, this realy helps us bsc fans

 

Any chanse of compiling a list of which zip files it replaced? I have about 70 BSC zip files that I keep in case I need to reinstall.

 

Thanks

[Ladymame 3]

I received the list just fine and didn't need the links.  This will make using the lots so much easier and greatly less intimidating.  Thanks to the team for all the fantastic lots.  Thank you so much for sending this list!

Hello all,

 

I have a question about the new CSX MEGA Props-Vol03.

In the read me it said I have to remove the files that are mentioned in there.

One of the files is called Home_Dalene_THC.dat.

On my pc I have the file prop_CSX_Home_Dalene.dat

My question is, are those the same files so there wont be a problem when I remove it?

 

Thanks sylvia.

[Vlakhaas 13]

No problem ... you can remove that file ... and NO .... they are not the same file.

Hi guys thanks for all the lots...

I have been going through my prop packs and dependencies and doing the amalgamations, (sweet) but since then I am having a problem loading my capital. Which has neccesitated a long look through my plugins folder. (oh the fun!) anyway I noticed that I had

1)BSC BAT Props swi21 Vol06.dat
and
2)BSCBATProps_swi21_Vol06.dat

one older then the other but they were in different installer paths... (I don't like to alter the paths)

I took a look through to try to find them in the prop section, but could not. So finally to my question,

was 1 a replacement for 2?

Thanks for your time

[BarbyW 40]

Yes 1 was a replacement for 2 but the only change was in the name of the file not the contents. There is now a new merged mega pack available here BSC MEGA Props swi21 Vol01
Barby

[mrbarham 4]

thanks barby,

I found it while I was going over the predeletes for the mega pack.

you rock

[DJGspinNhitz 7]

I seen to have lost a couple of props while cleaning up my plugins
Islington Mews and Pentonville Place are now brown boxes. I typed the names in the search on the STEX but nothing came up. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks
