Dependencies,what a problem!

[Gugu3 173]

I noticed some problems with dependencies...when you download some of them,they come with a cleanitol in order to eliminate older versions and so on...then you download some buildings which requires the older dependency...sometimes i found that even if you have substituted the older one with the new one(and this might work as the older one) a brown box appears...then if you reintroduce the older dependency,the building will appear great...how to solve this problem?is it possible that the simultaneous presence of old and new dependencies may cause the game to crash?

thank you

No. Whenever you have duplicates in your plugins folder, the loading order determines which one of the two identical objects is loaded last and overrides the other object that was loaded first.

Everything in the root plugins folder loads first, followed by files in sub-folders. The sub-folders, in turn, are loaded in alphabetical order.

In your case, it would be enough to place the old file in a way that it loads after the new file.

However, what you encountered there is a problem that's not supposed to exist. Could you please provide a link to the download in question, maybe a screenshot of the brown box problem, and the names of the dependencies?

If you follow the loading order above, can duplicate files cause any in game problems if the Mega Props loads before any duplicate bat props or misc props?

Sorry...I was quite busy with university so I didn't have much time to check out the dependency...I remember it was something like a ks_jp mega props vol3...I'll look for it into my dependencies folder....

Dependencies are a mess. Someone should compile a MEGA MEGA pack of all dependencies, the mega pack to end all mega packs, so we only need to include one such mega pack to make all buildings work.

Please, let's not re-hash the whole "Dependency Debate." Let's let Gugu3 tell us the particular item that is causing the issue. Then we can go from there.
