Don't know if something like this exists but...

is there a database that lists the images of all of the buildings in vanilla SC4 deluxe along with the associated Maxis file name (i.e. 0x05210000)? I'm recreating NYC and I know that many of the Maxis buildings are based off of or are exact replicas of actual NYC buildings. The problem is even with the extra cheats plugin it's hard to see which building is associated with which filename (since the plugin doesn't list the building name but it's long filename), unless of course I go through each and every building in the cheats plugin menu. But that would take too much time. So is there any place that lists all of the buildings in the game (particuarly the NYC tileset) along with their associated file names?

 

If something like this isn't available then is there at least a place that lists the filname (i.e. 0x05210000) with its associated in game name (i.e. Wren Insurance)?

Do you want to do anything specific? There are lists of buildings with images around, and someone else probably will have a link at hand. If I wanted to scroll through all Maxis buildings, I would probably use SC4 PIM. It's very easy to select a building category there and just scroll through them.

    In terms of the Maxis buildings, I am mainly looking for all NYC tileset buildings (mostly commercial skyscrapers, residential towers, townhouses, and shops) that are inspired by or replicas of actual NYC buildings. So SC4 PIM will allow me to look at these buildings along with their file names?

    Yes, it would look something like this with only the Maxis buildings loaded (here a New York building as example):

    See the file browser on the upper right, here for high wealth commercial offices (selected on the upper left). You can easily browse through all files. Of course, this is also a lot editor, so you can do quite a few changes with this little program.

    Make sure you download all the missing dll files (take the link to the support thread), and if you are on Win7, the fix for one of the python databases (second sticky in the support forum linked from the download page).
