Hi all,

I genuinely have no idea if anyone still plays SC4 (let alone on Mac) so this may not be something anyone else finds useful. But:

I have the Steam version of the game and, at some point during the 10 years when I stopped playing it, it automatically updated to the 64-bit version, and etc. Once I went back to playing it and started downloading custom content, I obviously ran into numerous files that didn't work.

A few days ago, however, I came across this topic and realised this was a known issue and, in most cases, very easy to fix; all I had to do was download the reader from SC4E, run it via wine and change a few exemplars. I have absolutely no technical knowledge of any kind, but the various explanations posted here were clear and informative enough that that didn't matter. So I did that with a number of files and can confirm they work on my computer now at least (Mac OS 11.7.6, 3.6GHz Intel, I will never upgrade to ARM, honestly I never would have upgraded from 10.14 if my computer hadn't broken. I hate Apple. End of complaint)

Basically: does anyone want any of these fixed lots? (There's about 24 buildings / 52 .SC4Lot files I could successfully get working; one, so far, that I couldn't.) Are the creators still around? What are the intellectual property guidelines involved? Etc.

Thanks in advance if anyone sees this 🙏

A bit late here, but yes, I'd be glad to take them and update the files here. I have a small list of other files I had been working on with another member that has been fixed.

Thank you for your effort!

The consensus about IP rights here has slowly been shifting over the past few years here (for the better IMO), and fixing things like this is generally now considered well within our rights as administrator and host of the content.

@nos.17 and @kaimai, leave the SM2 stuffs out, please. As far as I know they have already been updated like two years ago, but I see, that Simmer2 actually never uploaded the updated files, that I made. I went through on all of his files and fixed the TE and other issues, but apparently he did not find the time to update the entries on STEX. 

The Mas71 suburban canal bridge files have been already updated and they can be found in the SC4D_LEX_Legacy_MAS71_Japanese_River_Project_V1.

That works perfectly fine and I'll add everything to to my tracking spreadsheet.

Actually not, thank you.

I definitely was going to check in with you first! Thanks for the heads up; no sense in duplicating efforts.

Understood. Should I remove the unnecessary files from the post in this thread?
