Missing "American Truck Stop" Props

[luvs2draw 295]

Yes it's me again,

I'm missing a prop for the "American Truck Stop" creator is "Angry Mozart" I have checked and checked again and all the Dependences are loaded for this lot. I'm using the "PEG OPPS/OOPS Mod" and I have 2 flags showing up going thru the trailers on 2 truck trailers and I have no earthly ideal why?

I tried to message  "Angry Mozart" but it wouldn't let me. I have enclosed a pic to show what I'm talking about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello @Angry Mozart

Hope you are having great day? I am having a problem with one of lot's "American Truck Stop". I posted in the "Can't Find It...… Ask Here tread and also tried to send you a Privet message but couldn't get to work so I have decided to post it here. I'm missing 2 prop both of them are trailers going through the middle of the trailer ( I'm using PEG OPPS/OOP's Mod).

I've included a pic above so you can see what I'm talking about.

Any help would be greatly apparitioned.

@luvs2draw  Hi, sorry no worries for me on both lots certainly a missing dependency in your folder.

@luvs2draw, according to SC4DataNode, there are in fact 2 props that are missing:
Prop IID 0710E6FF
Prop IID A710E7BC
However, the Lot Editer in PIM-X shows that these props are on the extreme left-hand side of the lot.

Your issue is missing models.  The flag indicates that valid prop or building exemplars exist, but the referenced models are missing (or can't be accessed by the game).  If you didn't have the OPPS/OOPS Mod, you would have brown boxes.

I can't tell for sure from the scale of your screen shot, but I don't see any rear wheels under the containers where you have the flags.  This means that you are missing at least part of Angry Mozart's Truck and Trailers Prop Pack.  Apparently you're missing the model for one or more of the container chassis.

Depending on whether you kept the default folder structure when you extracted the files from the RAR file, how long your user name is, and whether you have buried this default folder structure under other nested folders, you may have surpassed maximum allowable path length, and the game can't find the IIDs for the model(s).  Since your screenshot shows other props from this prop pack, this seems to be the most likely scenario.

The default folder structure created when you extract the files from the RAR archive is: <\Angry Mozart\Trucks&Trailers Prop Pack\Trucks&Trailers Prop Pack\90\40_ft_2_axle_gooseneck_container_chassis_orange_rust-0x5ad0e817_0x38f79ea7_0x30000.SC4Model>, which is 161 characters by itself (note that the file names for the container chassis models are the longest file names in the entire package).  You would have to add to this number whatever the rest of your particular path length is.  If it comes out to >250 characters, path length is your problem.  You could probably fix this easily by removing one level of the "Trucks&Trailers Prop Pack" folder since it is doubled.

Thank you for the reply twalsh102,

I ran my RAR program and what I end up with a folder "Trucks&TrailersPropPack when I open the folder it is a list of all the props in the pack. I then made a folder to place all the plugins I want to use in my game from "Angry Mozart". I have placed "American Truck Stop, North_American_Freight_Cars and Trucks&TrailerPropPack.  I cut and pasted the "Trucks&TrailersPropPack" RAR folder and pasted it in the folder. The folder structure is Trucks&TrailersPropPack/Angry Mozart/Trucks&TrailersPropPack/ 11.25, 11.25L, and a list of all the RAR prop pack files.

I did reduce the "Trucks&TrailersProp Pack by 1 folder to reduce the load order.

I hope I did this correctly?  All of plugin files are DAT Packed.

The proof will be in the testing.  When you plop the Truck Stop lot, do you still see the OPPS/OOPS flags, or are they gone?

@luvs2draw Hello. I've just logged in to Simtropolis and I see you have an issue with missing .sc4model or .s4desc files, which correspond to the 40' and 53' container chassis. Also I read that you put everything in one folder and datpacked it. Maybe a few files were missin in that process, in that case you can test the lot without modifying the folders in the truck pack. If the problem is still there please let me know and I'll send you the original files that I have. Also I have PM you because I couldn't see any message from you. Hope this problem is solved soon.

Those missing props are probably part of a desert flora pack, but not sure. How do I check them?

Hello Angry Mozart,

 Just got done responding to the Private Message you sent. I don't have the computer knowledge to try  and do anything twalsh suggested ( but I do Thank him/or her). I messed my Plugins folder and had to install my backup folder. Loaded the game and I still have the same 2 models missing. Love the plugin, great work. I did remove the desert lot. Going to reload that lot. and see if it makes difference. I'll let you know if it did.

Angry Mozart,

Just added the desert lot file back to the "American Truck Stop". Started the game and still have missing  models.

Solved:

With the help from "Angry Mozart". Now no OPPS/OOPS flags not showing up on the plugin. Just wanted to give "Angry Mozart" a heartily THANKS . It still surprises me the response that people will go to help members here on STEX, kudos to everyone here. I have enclosed a pic of the plugin with it working like it should.

The help was greatly appreciated.
