I just started trying to create custom content for SC4. I started with trying to make sunken highway wall textures (because jeronij's are great, but I want variety). I'm following this tutorial -> www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/index.cfm/Main.SimCity_4.Custom_Content.CreateandModTextures I'm up to the SC4Tool part, and have got stuck using it. I open a random .dat from my plugins folder (which, as best I can tell, is what the tutorial does (I've tried a few different .dats)), hit 'add texture', load my texture, set the IID, and hit OK; an error dialog then comes up reading 'Error! Data not saved!'. I've tried running SC4Tool as admin, checked permissions of the .dat's I'm editing, and using different image formats for the texture. Upon failing, SC4Tool does create another file named .sav in the plugins folder, but my textures still don't show up in the lot editor, so I don't know what that is. Anyone know what is wrong? Edit: Forgot to mention, any time I click on a menu bar item, the tool freezes up and I have to kill it from task manager, this under win7 64-bit

I haven't visited simtropolis in quite some time, and i believe the last time i saw this thread was around page 80, im surprised this thing is still going!, keep up the fantastic work!

^cool i am now starting to think that tiger does slow it down some, i havent played a whole lot, and it seems that running it on this laptop isnt much faster then running it on my old ibook G3 with panther... (its 800 mhz, 1 gig less ram, and only 32 mb graphics ram... should run a lot better on this computer)

because when the Universal version of SC4 comes out, quote> i think your getting a little hopeful there... (unfortunetaly)

wow, i only wish i had the time/knowledge of game mechanics that you do to make something like this, keep up the good work! (i just looked at pages 1-7, then saw that there were 117 pages and skipped to the last few...)

im using 10.4.7 on a powerbook with just slightly higher specs then yours, just with an ATI card with 128 mb ram, so it might be your video card...

my game doesn't even show me an option to make it windowed when i start it with option held down... little help?

for nam search for NetworkAddonMod and for the other two go to the ST Exchange and search for them i unfortunetaly however dont have rush hour, and it appears that all 3 of those require rush hour, can someone give me some ideas on what would be some good options that dont require rh?
