Need some help with a transit enabled plop

[Mask123 1]

So I cant seem to figure something out. I downloaded the Rayden_NuclearPowerPlant and ALL of its dependencies, but when I plop, the tiles where the rail should be running through only show up as brown dirt patches.  I can drag rail through it, but it doesnt seem to do anything, still dirt. I made sure I downloaded all the dependencies, Even a few that were in the read me and not posted on the site, and they still don't show. I would really like to have this power plant for my city so any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe there is a pack or patch or something that Im missing that's not on the dependency list..?

Please help,

Thank you.

It could be that there is a missing texture in the lot, BAT, etc. or a dependency was not listed.

Any Ideas on what that texture or unlisted dependency could be? Any suggestions from anyone would be helpful.

Stupid Simtropolis.. Its like crack to me. =D

There's two possibilities:

1. The lot was built without a rail texture.

2. Your graphic settings (specifically the detail related ones) are set too low.

[Mask123 1]

Well I know Its not my graphic settings, Ive got all of those on high.

And I highly doubt that the creator forgot to put in the rail texture when the download has a 4.35 star rating with no complaints about the rail tiles.. There's gotta be something that Im missing here..

You might be missing NCD's textures (Link). It is mentioned in the Readme but not on the download page.

Thanks CaptCity, but I already downloaded that one. Yes, it was only posted in the "read me" file, but that isn't what Im missing. I downloaded everything from the read me, but still no rail tiles. Damn it Jim!! Ive never wanted a download to work as bad as this one.. Maybe the file is so old its corrupt...?

Would having not dowloaded any sort of EA update may be the cause..? We lost the serial number to the game a LONG time ago so I have not been able to download or update from the actual EA website.. Hmm.. this one is a real brain teaser to me.

I would just love to have a more realistic power plant, with a more realistic power "output" then the general Maxis ones. Loved this one because of the transit enable rail, textures, and x by x plop size..Just wish I could get it to function properly. Is there any way to contact the creator "Rayden" (given the chance that they might still log onto simtropolis?)?

Again, any input is absolutely welcome.

You can get the SC4 updates without registering to the official site; they're mirrored on SC4Devotion. See the "Boggy1's Quick Guide to All Things Custom Content" link in my signature, then go to the Updates section.

Perhaps so. I tried the lot (with the dependencies in the Readme) and all appeared normal. The rails did disappear when I removed the NCD dependency. You could try the patch, as Blue Lightning mentioned above, and let us know how it goes...

[Mask123 1]

Alrighty guys,

Well I downloaded the patches and updates you suggested Blue Lightning. And when I went to install them and this error message kept popping up; "Missing or Invalid Registry/ INA Entry" I followed the directions, trying to install the SKU1 update first, but I only got as far as that error message. Any Ideas..?

Did you install the game from original CDs following the default paths, and are the files he same as when installed (any no-CD patches)?

[Mask123 1]

My little brother is the one who installed it. I know we have a CD someplace, but yeah, we don't use a CD to run the game. So Im guessing that there must me some sort of No-CD patch on here..

[Mask123 1]

Is there any way to work around that or am I just S.O.L.?

=P

[CaptCity 4,869]

Patches will only update original game files. So the only thing to suggest would be to find the CDs...

[Mask123 1]

Oh fun.. Then that would involve deleting everything and re-installing it..? The reason he did the no CD patch was because it runs way smoother and cut out a lot of lag. But Im pretty sure he just downloaded the Deluxe expansion. Hmm..
