On the first picture, I am pretty that's actually Cal's stone canals (NOT the SG remaster, the other one). Currently unavailable until we restore them with other canal plugins from LEX. -

@kschmidt Thanks for your reply. I know, and I can only expect the website to resume operation smoothly. Really appreciate all the starff work for that website! Btw, I always follow the sc4evermore and  have also would like to give some suggestions to the working team, should each unit can be equipped with an image like before？That would be better.

Hey gang, I'm looking for a passable stand-in for the old railway station from my home town. Wouldn't even have to be functional just an old station or warehouse building I could plop next to the tracks. Looking for suggestions, thanks

Hi there,

The uploader did not list any dependencies, but those textures are coming from @Simmer2's different rail related uploads. The rail track textures are coming from the RRW_Lottex_SM2R2.dat, for now from this set:

The grey base texture is coming from this upload:

you need the SM2_LRS_Tex.dat from this upload.

- Tyberius

Edit: thanks for the reminder about this building, I'm gonna definitely reLOT it because it looks actually quite good.

Jerry-rigged solution, but I have this lot and I "buried" as much of that black as I could with the Poseidon set terrain textures and some strategic mmp trees. I don't think I used it as a station, though.

There was a building that springs to mind, but, unfortunately it's gone, along with it's creator. There is a creator named(I think) SBFT on Kurier that makes A-frame brownstones like that, but I think they're closed down too. I don't recall seeing a station that long in that style, but there are a few IND buildings you could stack. They do have furnaces though.

You need to be patient. Yes, it was only available on SC4Devotion and it's gonna be available again on SC4Evermore once we get there. We are working hard to restore the files from LEX, but we still have around 2-2500 files to check and restore. It ain't gonna happen over a night or two... We also have other priorities, like real-life work, feeding the family, paying the bills etc... Eventually everything will be restored and available again from LEX and then more stuffs will be coming... eventually...

Oh, it's not lost forever, then. I thought some files wouldn't be available anymore on LEX. Good to know! Yeah, I can wait... 😁

Following up on this, is it possible that these four building were only available on SC4Devotion? I swear I've seen them before, but they don't seem to be anywhere now.

I understand that the LEX is currently being rebuilt over on SC4Evermore, but in the meantime is there any archive list of what files used to be available there?

I think the swiss cheesey building(and the one next to it) may belong to zero7. Has an account here along with Dev, but those 2 pictured aren't in his account here.

As of a few minutes ago, I've just gotten three LEX Legacy Packs up for zero7 over at SC4Evermore, including the Commercial Pack, which should have those.  Most of zero7's output is available again on SC4E--the only exceptions are a few that didn't fit nicely into a pack, and the 4 transit stations (which, like almost all transit stations that were previously on the LEX, are going to get a TE check to ensure they meet NAM MTA standards before we restore them at SC4E).  We've now restored over 1200 LEX files in some capacity (another big recent addition being the JBSimio Education Compilation), and we continue to plug away at adding more.

We do pay close attention to this thread and what people are looking to find, and try to expedite things when feasible.

We've started adding images to the downloads now--most new things going up are getting them (including the zero7 packs that just got uploaded), and we're gradually going back to add them to existing downloads.  Our top priority was getting the files up in the first place, to minimize the pain from the LEX's closure (especially in cases where the absence of LEX files impacted STEX files--i.e., dependencies), but we're starting to add those niceties to make the SC4E experience less spartan, and there's more to come on that end.

I wish there was a way to be able to use volunteers from the community at large to help repackage the files or any other repetitive task required to restore the LEX in SC4Evermore. Like using a shared drive where people can move files remotely from their computers or something like that. Probably would involve some planning but its an idea and it would alleviate the workload for the SC4E team.

Ok, so a little history what went down in the past 2-3 years, since I started Project ZIP and why we are partially at this situation now. 

The biggest part of the repackaging was already done by me 2 years ago as part of the Project ZIP. We are talking about like May 2021; technically the idea of a repackaging project had popped up around 2015 or even before - based on some comments on LEX -, but until I offered my help, because I had to redownload everything from LEX, because of the loss of my back-up plugins, due to a memory card crash, nothing really happened. That was in 2018, but in the same time I got involved with NAM, plus I got busier with RL etc..., so nothing really happened until the autum of 2020.

I had spent 4 months to extract the installers and organizne/re-organize the folder structure, when thanks to a windows update my HDD crashed and I lost like 75% of my back-ups again with all the already extracted files. Now from there, it took me again another 3.5 months to get there, where I was before the data loss. Bear in mind, that most of the people who are working on the re-hosting project now, either were not available 2 years ago or were busy with both RL and the continuous NAM development. We are progressing much faster now, because Tarkus focusing most of his freetime on this project instead of creating new NAM goodies.

But at that time we were preparing the files to replace the installer based uploads (around 2400-ish) on LEX, based on a batch script (that's why you were seeing a _#### - underscore and the LEX upload ID number/Dependency Tracker ID number - at the end of the ZIP file names). However the member who was maintaining the LEX and was preparing to write the script got exremely busy with RL, and I also got busy with other parts of the restoration projects, plus with NAM dev. Tarkus managed to upload/replace the installer based dependencies at the end of 2021 and later I uploaded many newly formed and updated dependency packs as preparation for the release of the LEX DVD contents. However it was summer time (2022), first more or less fully open holiday season after the pandemic, then I organized the rehostable LEX DVD contents and started working on the CAM and agricultural collections because there was a bigger demand for them. And in the same time the LEX Dependency Tracker started acting up. That had a huge negative side-effect on collections, and I needed to change the original course. Because the original idea was to leave the individual readmes as they were and we would have been relying completely on a fully functional, finished and properly updated/maintained Dependency Tracker.

Now from this point the brown sauce started hitting the fan. I don't want to sound too dramatic, but while I was checking the BSC farming stuffs for dependencies, as now I had to update the individual readmes too, I kept finding small, not crutial, but really annoying bugs, typos, mistakes in the modding. The original plan always has been to update the Transit Enabled contents to match with the NAM/MTA standards. But my experiences with the farming stuffs led to the realisation that most of the complex sets and especially the older contents that were rehosted from multiple sites (they started on STEX, then with the big BSC migration they landed on PLEX - at least the 2006 version of PLEX -, then finally arrived to LEX at the beginning of 2007, then they also got some updates when PIM-X came around), they needed to be checked and probably updated one by one. That was something which I had not expected, and some of these stuffs actually require quite a bit of digging in older versions and ancient files and checking older forum posts, what the hell they originally wanted with their stuffs. And in the meantime we started planning and working on a NAM project, so the whole Project ZIP was put on hold (except a few occasional uploads on LEX) for about 6 months and by the time I was coming back to the project we had to shut LEX down. Which happened more or less at the same time when I went to a longer vacation row in this year May-June-July. 

At this moment, Tarkus and Ulisse are helping me with those contents, that do not require any deeper checking, but from previous experiences I know which are the sets that actually need more love, because of their age. To be fair some of the stuffs that we push out now, just to be available again, there is a chance that they will get some update in the future, because we discover some bugs. Again most of the bugs (except the obviously outdated modding stuffs on the Transit Enabled contents) are not crutial, but rather annoying, like wrongly referenced custom UIs, wrongly referenced custom Occupant Groups - that can mess with the rewards chains -, missing dependencies referencing such dependencies that were either available and got lost 18 years ago, or they are collecting dust on the original creators HDD somewhere. A more crutial issue comes from outdated modding practices, and some of those can lead to the bug called the Immortal Lot Syndrome. I did not expect to find that either, but guess what, it was a pretty much facepalming experience to run into those with some of the older and yet updated contents. Now to find, realize and fix these, that takes time. If it was only repackaging, the vast majority of the used to be LEX contents would be already available again.

So the bigger hold up is coming from the fact that we are going through on many of the set of contents and check them for the proper dependencies and I'm also going through one-by-one many of the lot and building exemplars searching for bugs and inconsistencies which can lead bugs. There are contents where I don't expect such things, because they did not have any advanced modding - these are coming sooner, like it happened with Mattb's and zero7's contents -, but most of the ancient/older BSC contents, specially the ones which were developped for the reward chains (and the CAM contents fall under this category too) need to be checked based on what I have experienced so far...

But, yeah, anyway Tarkus and Ulissee are working with the files that I made available on a shared google drive originally set-up for Project ZIP. At this point I'm doing preparations for a bigger update on the BSC Common Dependencies package; after that probably the individual sets and uploads will be able to be coming faster with the strong possibility that many of them will receive technical updates in the following months, when my time allows me to finish the final update on them. 

So that's it really, what's going on. All I can ask, that everybody need to be a bit more patient.

Hi there,

1) BSC DBSSYMN Berlin W2W - Haus Faber created by Debussyman. It was hosted on SC4 Devotion LEX, currently unavailable until we rehosted the files on SC4Evermore. 

2) BSC JENX PARIS Bourse De Commerce. It was hosted on SC4 Devotion LEX, currently unavailable until we rehosted the files on SC4Evermore. For this one the models are available in the BSC MEGA Props JENX vol02 - Paris prop pack - bear in mind this is just a prop pack with the necessary models for the lot(s)

3) if you are refering to the clocktower, that's in the game by default it's the Big Ben landmark. If you are refering to the skycraper, that's the Taipei 101 from kd5rax.
