It looks like it was found in some folks' personal files, but as far as I can tell has not been posted anywhere yet. Is this still available?

Hm... one of us ( @CaptCity) actually has added it to the first post of the STEX Custodian General topic and referenced it in a separate post too. I believe you need the Noukyo (Agriculture Cooperative) from that google drive.

Do you guys have a link for the BSC "Goddess Palace" by Debussyman?  That lovely blue building sitting on a massive lot?  My search is leading me nowhere so far. Thank you!

Ah, the downloading process on SimCity Square takes some getting used to:

Click on the file-icon and then on 내PC 저장.

The backlink to LEX is just a reference.

Did you keep the .desc file in the download? It appears fine for me, and the 0xe015f62c seems to refer to the included .desc file.

Yepp, the Zoom2 South FSH (ID: 0x00700100) has the wrong size, I think. I am not an expert, but the FSH should be 128*64, but when I saved it as PNG I got a 128*128 PNG. I think that's why it gets squased... 

@sejr99999

I think I might have been able to fix it. At least it shows up properly in PIM-X (I don't know if the night view is affected too). Could you please give it a try with this DAT file. Keep the original DAT(s) and place this into the same folder as is, to load after the original DAT file. If it fixed the issue, let me know and then I provide a full update on it and drop it either here or to Evermore.

Maybe... I have the same files and experience the same 'box' issue. Perhaps some don't see it due to using Peg's OOPS mod. The colored flag is inside the building and not easily noticeable...?

Hmmm... Just found the attached in my files. According to my naming strategy, @rsc204 must have made a fix for this issue a while back. It's a new lot file. I'll need to look through the forums to see the reasoning behind the issue...

That's strange, because the version that came from the exe that was last available on SC4D LEX had the issue. As I mentioned the zoom 2 south-view FSH had the wrong size. I was able to confirm this in Reader and in PIM-X too.

Where is your file coming from?

I downloaded it from the original SC4D website.

Thanks @Tyberius06 as always.

My (hopefully) last question about old Japanese files comes from @Forsma7's Nakahara City Journal. I think I've found most old Japanese village-style houses from Somy, SimCityForce, and similar sites, but I can't figure out what this set of buildings with the brown sidewalls and asymmetric rooves is from:

They seem simple enough that they could be one-off custom lots made just for this City Journal, and thus not available, but I wanted to check if anyone recognized them.

I am confused now. Maybe I am missunderstanding something.

Have you taken that picture on Zoom 2 level without applying the fix that I made and attached or it's an image with the applied fix?

Because I checked the original *.exe from the old SC4D server (Install_Goddess_Palace_F1.zip/Install_Goddess_Palace_F.exe - that was the last available version and it was compiled back in 2006) and it has the bad S3D/FSH combo with the rendering error. And that upload had not been changed since its initial upload back in 13.08.2007.

I believe this is the machiya-set 1 by Tadasu. You can get it on https://tsushinikai.com/simcity4/ (4th from the bottom). Note that the download link might not work upon clicking. If so, try right-clicking and selecting "Save link as...".

Sorry, I didn't look carefully. This issue does exist with level 2 scaling.

And so it is! Thank you 

Ok, now I have kind of an obscure pull. Did anyone manage to hold on to the beta version of @noahclem’s NORO trams and textures? I know the threads on it over on SC4D had at least one Google Drive link, which of course no longer works, so wondering if any of the files are still floating around.

I don't think it was publicly available as it was never really finished. Noah abandoned the project 8 years ago (or so), when his RL got busier. I think I have the last version of it somewhere, as I borrowed RDQs GLR station models from it and @art128 originally created a diagonal GLR station model for this project, which then ended up in the NAM 49 before he released them as part of the Props pack of forgotten stuff. As far as I know, there were inconsistencies and texture bugs in some places. I borrowed some ideas from this mod and @rivit included some lot supporting textures to his GLR Reskin mod based on those ideas, but mostly that's it. To be fair to replicate most of these textures, I think the best you can do is checking out Rivit's GLR Reskin scripts. I don't know if Noah's package contains any raw images of the tracks and the trackbeds, I can look for it, though, then one might be able to use them with the GLR Reskin scripts...
