[2009] Lot Editor and Plug-in Manager - Forum Archive

[mrbisonm 1,622]

Usually what you folks do is making your lot too small in the beginning.

While in the LE, choose a lot and enlarge it to a size *something like 8x8 or bigger like 12x12* (you don't need the groundtextures yet) and then choose the prop, plop it and reduce the lot to a more fitting size to the prop or to your needs.

When the props are like 8x8, they simply need a lot as big as 8x8 or otherwise they will not appear in the LE list. The bigger the lot you start with, the more props you get in the list. You can always reduce the lots after.

Hope that helped.

Connecting roads from custom lot to in-game road.

I have completed  a number of custom lots with roads. Does anyone knows how to do the one that connects automatically to the in-game road, because mine doesn't

[Andreas Roth 622]

Unfortunately, there isn't any batch modding tool yet, so you'll have to do it one by one. If you don't need the grass texture, I guess it's a lot simpler to create a desert texture and assign the same ID that the grass texture has. This is how the snow mod works.

Missing Custom Props

I downloaded a few props from this site (http://homepage2.nifty.com/tabinohito/newpage12.html) and I copy/pasted them into my sc4 plugins folder but I can't seem to locate them in LE...

I can't get a darn building on any of my lots!!! >: (

how can I get a building on my lot!?! it only shows parks and rewards!!! >: (

[Jeffmaster223 24]

Maybe the SC4 Tool could help..?

i think it allows you to jot down the buildings functions...

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I guess your best choice for this task is SC4Tool. It contains a TE editor that can be used to transit-enable the lot. The editor is pretty self-explanatory, in fact. Basically, you see the lot from a birds-eye perspective. Then you can choose a traffic type (road, street, rail, avenue etc.) and its orientation by clicking on the type and checking or unchecking North/South/East/West checkboxes according to the direction you want the traffic to flow.

Furthermore, you can modify the general Transit Switch properties of the lot in another tab - most importantly, traffic capacity and entry cost.

If you only want the building to connect to the road network visually, i.e. without working as an actual transit hub of some kind, you can delete the corresponding properties with iLive's reader lateron.

I dunno, i was about to ask the same thing!

I must be the dumbest person in this forum but how do you use the plugin manager. I have googled this question and for the love of god i dont know what to do. how do i place models into the plugin manager. Is there a tutorial on what to do as i cant find it. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

[Xyloxadoria 1,098]

There is a tutorial here.

Just skip down to the plugin manger part if you arent exporting a building

You can get Sc4 Tool Here

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Xyloxadoria:i went to the site, and it said that I needed Microsoft Net framework 1.1, but don't have it for my operating system (I have Vista)

[Andreas Roth 622]

The Microsoft download page says it's also suitable for Vista, so just give it a try.

[ucokmarucok 5]

ok, I'm a lil bit confuse...

If you only want the building to connect to the road network visually, i.e. without working as an actual transit hub of some kind, you can delete the corresponding properties with iLive's reader lateron.TWrecks

so with the sc4tool, you can do transit network enabled. (both)

but if you only want either (1) you need to tweak it from the ilive reader?

is that correct?

[High5flyier 7]

You can also tweak those items with sc4tool using the Exemplar Editor, just set those amounts to 0.

[FishermanIvan 3]

I'm also having this problem.

[BIWDC 2,296]

Philadelphia Did you unzip the files first sc4 can't load anything

in a zip file.

You can download winZip here:http://www.winzip.com/index.htm

if you need it to unzip the files.

FishermanIvan Did you unzip the files first then place them in the

plugins folder?

[CaptCity 4,913]

Also...

You might try changing the lot size to something larger. I don't remember right off hand, but I think it might be 3x3 or larger for tabi's props to appear.

Lot Editor and Plug-in Manager Forum Archive 2009

This thread contains all of the stray topics created in 2009 in the Lot Editor and Plug-in Manager forum. This thread serves to condense those topics into one topic before merging into the new SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop forum.

However, all of the posts from the original threads are merged chronologically, which means that if two threads were posted in during the same time span, their posts will be mixed together, making it harder to read. To help with this, the title of original thread has been edited into the original first post of each thread.
