Corrupted .dat?

[LivingInThePast 364]

So in restarting and reinstalling SC4, I decided to bring in much of my old plug-ins folder from the cold. One of them was a little DAT I made with ilives reader (which is currently uninstalled as of this writing), which altered the single 1x1 grass tile to have a maintenance cost of 0.

So I find that there's the original grass tile with the maintenance, and one without in the Parks menu. The one that doesn't have the maintenance has the default tile while the one that does has an icon from kevdan25's McDonald's.

You're probably going to say "plug-in conflict" at this point, but wait--I had removed that particular plug-in (and all of his stuff) temporarily, and I don't remember that being a problem before. Is it possible that somehow my simple little DAT got corrupted?

Grab ilives Reader or my SC4Reader tool, if either can't open it or display it's contents properly then yeah possibly corrupted.

Hmmm...investigation with ilives reader (093) has the DAT and the original date modified...

OK, the good news is I don't think the file's corrupted. Removing the Cheap Grass Mod only reverts the grass back to its pricey $40/month price tag. Unfortunately, the McD's sign still remains. Plopping it reveals a large McDonald's sign surrounded by trees in a 1x1 lot.

 

I no longer have that McDonald's in my "possession" anymore. Time for another plugins purge.
