Help with Airport Dependencies

[Mayor Gaetan 14]

Hi guys, I would like to build the SimCityFuturist Regional Airport.
 

 

At the moment I have very ugly brown boxes. But I can't find the missing dependency, I thought it was an old gizmo file, but I'm not really sure, any ideas?

Hard to know without having access to your plugins folder  

But taking a wild guess; If you downloaded this airport and the dependencies recently - maybe you are missing wmp props.dat ?? Seeing as the link for that file is dead...

I know that @Tyberius06 is working on restoring the files. But if you didn't have it beforehand it might be the culprit

 

If it should turn out you are missing a Gizmo file, they have been uploaded on SC4Devotion LEX under his name/nick

Yes I think you are right, I thought I had downloaded this file but I must have been wrong, I have more to find wmp props.dat

The missing props are NOT wmp props, I think,  they are really ancient Gizmo props from a certain set, which has been updated many times and the IIDs changed during this. You need this exactly:

Large Functional Freight Yard

(From this you only need the TrainCar_Props_Families_E-V1.dat)
Also to avoid brown boxes, for this you need the Maxis_Traincar_Props_G-V3.dat from Gizmo's old prop set from simcitykurier. The newer Maxis Train Props v4.0.dat will NOT work with this lot (although it has the same contents but with new IIDs, while this lot is still using Gizmo's old props with the old IIDs), so you need the older prop for sure.

I think this should cover your brown boxes.

Thanks @Yarahi for ping me for this.

Thanks but I already have these old Gizmo Maxis_Traincar_Props_G-V3.dat files, that's not it.

From what we can see on the Lot Editor, there would be missing small construction elements or the train.

Once I managed to make them appear properly, but I don't know how. Basicly these railcars have different IIDs, than any of the dependencies. I'm 100% sure that the brownboxes are coming from the rail cars. And I finally found out from which rail cars.

Actually they are coming from the TrainCar_Props_Families_E-V1.dat. Remove this file and the related Gizmo (but it doesn't matter actually, it's enough if you remove that *.dat file) file and it will solve the brownbox issue. 

PIM-X showed me the issue. The original creator placed those rail car props on the top of the cargo ramp, and left them there.

Anyway, I will edit the upload page with this new information. The techy deatail is that TrainCar_Props_Families_E-V1.dat referencing really old Gizmo files, which are no longer available anywhere. The original Amtrak Trains v1 etc... these were replaced by a new re-IIDs set of models and props in 2005/2006. Sadly the lotter used these outdated files as dependencies.

Une fois, j'ai réussi à les faire apparaître correctement, mais je ne sais pas comment. Fondamentalement, ces wagons ont des IID différents de ceux des dépendances. Je suis sûr à 100% que les brownboxes proviennent des wagons . Et j'ai finalement découvert de quels wagons.

En fait, ils proviennent de  TrainCar_Props_Families_E-V1.dat. Supprimez ce fichier et le Gizmo associé (mais cela n'a pas d'importance en fait, cela suffit si vous supprimez ce fichier * .dat) et cela résoudra le problème de la brownbox. 

PIM -X m'a montré le problème. Le créateur d'origine a placé ces accessoires de wagons sur le dessus de la rampe de chargement et les y a laissés.

Quoi qu'il en soit, je vais modifier la page de téléchargement avec ces nouvelles informations. Le détail technique est que  TrainCar_Props_Families_E-V1.dat faisant  référence à de très vieux fichiers Gizmo, qui ne sont plus disponibles nulle part. Les trains Amtrak v1, etc. d'origine, ont été remplacés par un nouvel ensemble de modèles et d'accessoires re-IID en 2005/2006. Malheureusement, le loteur a utilisé ces fichiers obsolètes comme dépendances.

Yeah It's works, thanks !

No problem! I do sometimes like to outsource work  at least if I don't have the time to do a serious investigation myself

Also, it did happen to be a file which you had looked into earlier.. so always good to have someone with deeper technical insight
