NHP Tools suite

[skynet2029 3]

Yeah as a matter of fact I do have some Japanese lots, lol, I figured this is what the problem was, thanks

[tommiej 0]

thanks NHP!!! i just downloaded the lotinfogenerator and now i can see just how big my pluginfolder is, i now understand why you really need to let a city grow when you want to plop buildings, because they will satisfi demand, thanks!!

[scorer 11]

wouanagaine: Thanks for your answer!

Yes, the archive was unzipped including subfolders. But I unzipped it over an older version of your program, because I wanted to keep my old lot images. Extracting the file in a new, clean folder worked. no more problems!

[ExiL3 10]

I just wanted to say; - You guys are GODS!!!

take care,

[skynet2029 3]

Hate to sound all demanding or anything, but since this hasn't really had any discussion for awhile are there any planned updates for the lot generator or anything else in this package? Might as well at least try to get the discussion on this going again as it hasn't had much in months, btw I think you may need to update the link to this topic in the program as the one now for some reason gives me an error and i had to try to find this topic manually.

[wouanagaine 83]

it may, it may.

Lot to do, not so much free time

I know SC4LIG should be redone as I learned more stuff in regards to various examplar

[skynet2029 3]

Ah ok, thanks for the update

Hey wouanagaine, I can't remember if we ever discussed this problem before - I think we did but I don't know if there was any resolution.  After running SC4LIG, I get an html report with a bunch of info/error msgs.  I converted the file into an excel spreadsheet, so forgive the formatting, basically, the looks like this:

building IID 0x4FA7AE9B -- 0x6534284A-0xCF94DBB8-0x4FA7AE9B -- Simgoober\R-Suburban Homes\SG_RLSHome_Katie.dat  was added to the familly 0xA0000930

What does it all mean?

Thanks for the information.

[wouanagaine 83]

A familly - beeing prop or buidling one - is a way to have random ( prop or building ) on a lot

If you put a building on a lot, you will always have that building

if you put a building familly on a lot, each time the lot grow it may have a different building ( beeing part of that familly )

The same goes for props.

On the SC4LIG report, you will see that if the Lot has multiple buidling associated with it

I get this message in a window when I try to open it.

Hey, when I try to run the Mapper, I keep getting this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1007, in OnClose

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1010, in ShowMain

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 277, in __init__

UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-4: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

When I run it, I get the logo, and then nothing happens..

Hello,

I alway enjoyed the LotInfoTool. It is really a great help when you try to get a working set of plugins for your city. My only Problem is, that recently it stopped working for me:/

Now everytime i run it it stops at "Generating ploables information for Landmark" while generating lotInfo.html. The eroor message I get is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "SC4LotInfosGenerator.py", line 1292, in OnStart

  File "xmlP.pyo", line 557, in generate

  File "xmlP.pyo", line 358, in ComputeCorrectDictionnary

  File "xmlP.pyo", line 287, in ConvertExamplarValue

TypeError

Or something similar. I`ve already tried to remove some files from my pluginfolder (the cam, mml mods, etc. everything that generated an error in output.html) but this won't help. I will know make another try with a minimalistic output template. But after trying for more than 7 times already I don't expect much. Help would be very appreciated. But nevertheless thanks for providing this great tool. It already helped me a lot in the past.

[bblubb 1]

Ok, after several more tries I solved the problem myself. The problematic Lot was xannepans new castle. I still don't know what exactly the error meant but after removing this folder the LotInfoTool run smoothly.

[Zwabberaar 18]

It seems there was a small problem with the original castle lot. They have corrected this and an update version is available.

[msernst 10]

I've got a bit of a problem myself. I've read through here and can't figure it out, a little help would be nice. This is the error I am getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1007, in OnClose

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1010, in ShowMain

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 277, in __init__

UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 25-27: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

So whats up? This program worked nicely on my old laptop. I moved to this new one and now SC4 Mapper doesnt work. I see the NHP logo and then thats it. I look in the processes (ctrl+alt+del ... processes tab) and I see SC4 Mapper IS running. If I open it multiple times, then it will have multiple processes running, shows the NHP logo every time too. So why cant I get the program to physically show up?

[vennegoorofhesselink 0]

same thing happened to me, maybe it's something with vista?

[SC4BOY 20]

did you make sure you had the .dll's mentioned (and linked) in the doc's?

[vennegoorofhesselink 0]

thought i did, but i cant check because the link doesnt work any more :s

[msernst 10]

Vista...maybe, only trouble with that idea is that I dont have vista. There are still too many problems with that UI for me to consider using it.

And as for the DLLs, I thought I did. Where are they supposed to be placed on my computer? Same directory as the program or on the C: drive? I only see the link for one DLL. Is there another?

[schm0 27]

Clip2Pic link is bad. Anyone know where to find it now?

[El_Lobo 0]

Yes ... and the SC4LIG link is also broken ... got a "file not found" message ...

[silversimsboy2 0]

Um. No bandwich.

[City Planner 121]

I'd like to know where to get the sc4lot generator as it's a bad link at fileden right now too.

[Mattoman 0]

yuck, your sever is so slow, but very nice files

[MattP07 0]

i can't unzip the file - i don't know what's wrong.

I dowloaded the DLL thing too

help!!

I'm using XP SP3 and this is what I'm getting with SC4Mapper:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1007, in OnClose

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1010, in ShowMain

File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 277, in __init__

UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 25-26: malformed \N character escape

The screen title image shows, but nothing else happens. What exactly is up with this behavior?

[SC4BOY 20]

did you read the doc's and be sure you have the prerequisites specified in there? .dll's and proper DirectX update?

SC4MAPPER

SC4TERRAFORMER

Clip2Pic

SC4LotInfoGenerator is under rework and is currently unavailable.
