Yo, guy --

Gurry Seawall NOT WORKING !!

I plopped the MML piece -- let the game time run for TWO months -- nothing!

I plopped the MML again -- let the game run for SIX months -- nothing!

I made sure it was connected to power and water -- nothing !!

How about if I simply REMOVE the "MML.dat" file from the plugins??

They should pop right up -- right?

Yes, if you exclude the MML.dat from your plugins they fill up the menu like any other lot set (seawalls, parks, retaining walls, etc) would

Edit: Since this is a custodian file, let's "ping" @Tyberius06 to investigate the MML file

Hell, yeah... just delete remove it  
You might think, I'm joking, but actually I'm half serious. I wouldn't use MML, rather wheel through the whole menu 3 times. 
I don't know how MMLs are working, I don't know how this Gurry seawall MML is working, I never used it myself. It is possible that it's badly modded or it has some other bug in that feature, but I won't be able to investigate that, because I have no knowladge how these things are working. (still don't have knowladge about it, but managed to fix it, I think. Check the EDIT part.).I used to use MML for some JRJ walls, but it made me crying that I wasn't able to plop them constantly, since the MML has the limitation, that you actually need to go back to the menu once you picked and plopped an item and need to pick it again and again and again. So when I realized this behaviour I stopped using them. 
If you want to use MML anyway I would recommend you to use the "you don't deserve it" cheat (CTRL X). It should make those pieces available after you typed the cheat, you don't even need to plop the MML lot. The only 2 cons, that the new pieces in the menu won't disappear until you are in the city. But if you stopped using the pieces, just save it, and go to region view and then re-enter to the city and in the menu only the MML lot will be there. The other disadvanteges, that the cheat will unlock all the other MMLs and locked rewards and everything. 
If someone with more knowladge about MMLs wants to investigate why it is not working properly, then go for it. See below edit.

EDIT: Ok, I looked into it and used one of the BSC properly working MMLs to check, what could be the problem and managed to fix it. Please, @Dreadnought, test the following file. (the solution was to editing the LUA script, there was some missmatching IIDs in it. Plus a bunch of unrecognizable characters.)

[Yarahi 1,823]

@Tyberius06 Haha. Yeah, I had the same experience as you when I first tried getting used to MML's. However the basic understanding of how they're supposed to work still sticks

@Dreadnought I tested the fix by @Tyberius06 and I can confirm that it works according to what was described earlier.

Hello, my last type of modular parking of the day (package to come soon), because during big rural fairs you have to park all these people ...

[SIM-ple Jack 17,450]

Industrial canal. Lots of beach, reef and mmp friendly terrain.

 

[Dreadnought 8,231]

Yo --

@Tyberius06 and @Yarahi

Thanx much guys -- that did the trick --

Unfortunately, after plopping enough shoreline to get a good look at the seawalls -- I don't think I'll use them.  (Looking for something to use for my new Military Dockyard Project.)

But that's OK -- I've rejected just about all of the seawall sets.    I may go into EDITOR and tinker with the JS set.

THANX, again --

[Dreadnought 8,231]

A few more pictures from Wilhelmshaven South --

Rounding the northern tip of the island, this is a view of the west side of Three Sisters Light.  Once again, the emphasis was on the rocky shoreline concept I was developing.  And the other main point is one of my "quirks". 

Since I do not have the much coveted skills to produce my own custom "bats" I rely on my modest skills to re-lot other people's work -- or -- to find unique ways to use the lots and props that are already in the game.  Sort of a "Do more with what you've got" theory.  Sometimes the textures do not quite match, but re-lotting everything to make it "perfect" would double my 8.4Gb plugins folder !!

 

This shows the beginning of the West Side Yacht basin.  The basin is composed almost entirely from the NBVC basic marina sets.  I have always admired the innovative ways in which his marina pieces have been employed, and this gave me a chance to "play" with them.  I've modified several of them to include adding lights, piers, and moored sailboats.  Note the ones moored in tandem along the left mole.

 

Note here, the NBVC marinas as the lower level and the Jenx Paris Embankments forming the upper tier.  The sailboats stern-moored in the center are a modification of the NBVC lot.  The levels were all filled out with a combination of PedMall pieces and custom PedMall filler lots, combined with traffic enabled stairs and strategically placed subway stations to connect all of the shops, restaurants and buildings you see.  Each one is a functioning lot with jobs -- some of them re-lotted as CS $$.

 

And here you see a quick overview of the northeast quadrant of the island.  (more pics on that, later.)

Does anyone know how I can get lighting like this in 3dsmax?

As much as I try I get ugly results.

You might try @mattb325 -- He is the "Maestro" of night lights !

[nycsc4 5,250]

Still working on my reconstruction of Vancouver.  Have moved onto my second downtown tile, DTQ2.  It's by far the smallest of the four so it's already almost done.  I'm currently in the process of lotting @mattb325's beautiful WHO HQ into a tighter lot to fit on my waterfront.  Also, due to the size of this portion of downtown I changed this building into a hospital to satisfy those medical requirements for this city tile.

Thanks!

[pclark06 12,071]

Getting to work on the lot for this Canadian shopping center.

I'll definitely find some use for euro canopies like this - already used a few of yours and having euro ones will be just perfect Thanks !

3 new Italian-style palaces and villas, modded as civic buildings, some nice diagonal gems, are available now, having been added to this already existing download.

I'm putting details on my first BAT. Today I modified the textures, the structure, the terrace, the door at the top of the building and the measurements of the building. Anyone who wants to suggest, feel free! 

[debussyman 1,349]

@Vitoraju Nice model! We are missing more of these mid rise LATAM buildings.

As for suggestions:

I think the textures are still missing something, I would brighten the white a bit more and add some noise or even a little grunge (the red looks fine now). Comparing the walls to the roof, they appear almost as having no texture.

Also, even though you are using MR render, I'd add a gradient to the walls and maybe darken the roof borders. Jasoncw mentions it should not be necesary, but honestly, I don't see it here; it looks flat and in PS the values are virtually the same top and bottom. Maybe for taller buildings this is true, but even then, I feel a slight gradient gives it a more interesting look. Besides Ray tracing, lower parts of buildings tend to be dirtier and darker as a consecuence.

Yours Sincerely,

[Dgmc2013 947]

@Raymond7cn yeah! Good addition of bus stops! In my opinion, the 5 it's the most iconic

Thank you Dgmc, Frankly I found that the No.5 has a flaw, I forgot to make custom Lods, therefore the Props under it will be invisible, I will fix it as soon as possible, Sorry!

Sincerely,

I think I should improve the color of the snow texture..

I want to clarify that the only thing I did is the textures of the terrain, the mmp's are not mine.

Yo --

Maybe just a tad whiter -- and a light touch of smoothing.  Snow doesn't really look that lumpy.  It has the pleasing quality of laying a soft blanket of white over all the bumps and potholes !  But it looks promising !
