I guess I posted this question in a wrong section some days ago. Chances are that someone here will know the answer. I dl'd Ill Tonkso's Victorian City Park ( https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=13078 ), and it lists "BSC Mega Pack" as a dependency - but which Mega Pack is this? The pathways don't show up (have the blue background thing), and I guess the appropriate texture is in whichever pack he refers to. I have the other pack listed. And a bonus question: Is there a list of outdated dependencies somewhere (ones that have later been included in a Mega Pack, for example)? I suspect I might have to clear out some old ones. Or can I safely empty my props/textures folders, and just install Mega Packs from one end to another? Cheers in advance. EDIT: Nevermind - apparently it was in some texture pack I downloaded later.

EDIT: Moved question to different section. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers. Seems to be working now - I was just getting a little impatient with "hanging" downloads. It's not like I'm in a rush or anything, so what doesn't finish now, will finish later.

Just to add to the couple of STEX download speed remarks I've seen... The speed itself does not bother me much (it's usually small files, anyway), but for the past few days, I've had to pause/resume STEX dl's in firefox, in order for the speed actually keep up somewhat. As I've been reading through this thread, I've had a dl stuck on "11 minutes remaining" - for I guess 20 minutes. The dl manager says it's moving at 3,6kb/s, but clearly it is not. Other times it reaches 0kb/s and just sits there. Surely this can't be a load issue? I would guess speed would come back up, if it was only a case of heavy load. Using latest FF and I'm having no problems anywhere else.

I'm looking for Pjot's overpasses for sunken highways as seen below... They're not on the STEX, and i tried on the LEX as well, but no luck. Any directions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Originally posted by: CaptCity blesavidanac... Here's what I found... BSC MEGA Props - KWK Vol02 CP_PropPack_Vol01 BSC BAT Props MJB Vol 09 - don't think this is part of a MEGA Pack yet. Yes, it looks like some listings and links on their list have yet to be updated. Hope this helps... quote> Thanks a ton (for the second time, i believe). I'll give these a go and hope the brown boxes of d00m go away.

Allright - i have tried finding a few dependencies for Kwakelaars excellet european buildings, but they seem to hide effectively... the dep. list on sc4d does not list these two. I need: BSC MEGA Props - KWK Vol02 CP_PropPack_Vol01 If someone can poin t me to their location or which other pack they're now part i'd be happy. Also, the link over there for BSC BAT Props MJB Vol 09 leads to BSC MEGA Props - swi21 Vol01... but that pack also has its own link further down the page. Is this correct? Thanks in advance

Indeed - this has been my biggest headache as well. But at the end of the day (after spending the whole day huunting down these packs) it's really a pleasure to see the complete lot in game. I only started to play sc4 a few months ago, and last i went over my plugins folder it was only a few mb short of 1gb. There are still a few lots that wont appear in my menus, and i suppose i am still missing some props... However, it's easy to get confused if you download, say 10 different lots in a day (i've had days downloading closer to 100 lately) and have to find every dependency for each one. Especially if it's outdated and the former download link doesn't provide info on where to get the new pack or which mega pack it was merged into. The search functions on the sites (i have to admit that the search here is among the worst i can think of - counting all kinds of sites) often don't do much to help either. The dependency list on sc4devotion has helped me out a great deal, though... And yea - after all, i go for the most possible realism, so i guess the custom props are necessary... Who said life had to be easy EDIT: Oh yea - i just came to think of what cars would look like today, if they still used the same standard components as 50 years ago
