Lot Editor Problems

[WC_EEND 9]

I've noticed that some of my props don't show up in the Lot Editor prop menu, is this normal?

Also, the Lot Editor for BAT always crashes (and gives a microsoft error report) on startup

If you have a very large Plugin suite, it won't properly load in the Lot Editor.  The LE will usually crash with a boundary error caused by a buffer overflow.  The editor has limited space in which to load all your plugins plus all the default lots.

To repair this problem, remove all the stuff you won't we working on to another folder (say, on the desktop) leaving only the lots to want to mess with.  When you are finished, move the saved lots back.

You need to be more specific, list some of the props that aren't showing up.  Which program are you calling "the Lot Editor for BAT", there is only one "Lot Editor", and a "Plugin Manager" that is installed with the SC4 BAT.

With the Plugin Manager, only the the files in the documents plugins mother folder will appear, none that are in subfolders will show up.

the props I want to use but don't show up are aircraft props downloaded here : [url=https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1631/URL]

I get the same with all the other props made by this tabi guy

as for the Tlot Editor for BAT, is was in a zip file in my apps directory

[tungston 19]

Lot Editor for BAT is just the name of the zip, not the program.

Which plugin folder are the props in?

WC_EEND...

That Lot Editor for BAT zip file in the Apps folder is not what you use to run the Lot Editor. That is a file created and used for installation. You need to click on the LotEditor shortcut icon that was installed when the program was installed or the LotEditor icon in the Apps folder if you've somehow misplaced the shortcut. Hope this helps...

@ tungston: the plugins are in the following folders: C:\Documents and settings\username\my documents\Simcity 4\Plugins\tabi (plane type here) prop(s) (pack)

One thing that could be possible: the LOT is too small for that prop. To solve this, make it bigger, place the prop and than make it smaller.

doesn't help

they should show up with mrtnrln suggested. i have lotted all of tabi's airplane props successfully multiple times...

0x14c8d27c --- tabi A300-600F DHL ---

0x34c8d446 --- tabi A300-600F FedEX ---

0xb4c8ce82 --- tabi A300-600F TNT ---

0x14c8d614 --- tabi A300-600F UPS ---

those are the prop IDs that the Lot Editor uses for the pack you said you're having an issue with...your lot needs to be a minimum of 5x5 to fit those planes...

if the missing props are still not there when you search, and you have a 5x5 lot, then you might need to check to make sure the files got unzipped properly, and that they're even there. you may have to delete the folder and redownload it...

found em, thank you all

the only problem I have now is this, is it a graphical bug or something I did wrong? it only looks like this from this specific angle

[hawkpride147 1]

use the 747 unoccupied jetways...they fit better...

[WC_EEND 9]

i did that, that solves the problem, one more problem I have is that my jetways are higher than my terminals/concourses
