Have you looked into getting another program called "SC4DatPacker"? It's another wonderful tool that will compress your folders even more. Then if you get the SC4 Start Up Manager, you can choose which folders you want for any city and that will also reduce the amount of un-needed custom content while playing also. Check into these wonderful and very useful tools..they will make game play so much more fun!

I haven't chimed into any discussion at ST for a long time but you know..this time I will make an exception and give my 2 cents again. I don't worry about dependencies..you know why? I have them all so when a new lot comes out..I don't have to download anything but the lot. I keep up to date with prop packs. It's really a simple task. BSC members have done everything they can to make "dependencies" as painless as possible by merging small prop packs into mega packs and including a "remove" list so you can have the "cleanitol" do the work for you. It's a wonderful little program that is very, very, easy to use. Once last thing,,Most BSC lots that are on the STEX are outdated and have been updated and uploaded to the Lex at SC4devotion. As Dedgren posted earlier, any issues with anything on the Lex, just send someone a PM and it will be looked into ASAP. So..complaining about dependencies doesn't do any good..there is always a simple solution to any problem with them.

If you are looking for any BSC dependencies..most of them have been updated into mega packs and uploaded on the LEX at sc4devotion.com. You will need to register on both the forums and the LEX. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same issue Barby. Very strange indeed. Thank you Mr B for the welcome. I shall upload my first set of pics this weekend. I am to assume when you speak of each city tile (4 for a town), you would only count the ones with actual residents?

If you are looking for anything by members of BSC, most of those files have been moved to the above website. If you have questions about the LEX, please post in the forums at sc4devotion.

Not to add to your stress Mr B but I have decided to jump into this CJ also. I will post my first pictures sometime this week. I think this will be fun and challenging.

This is simply my own opinion and thoughts on this subject from a custom content creators point of view. What I create is mine and mine alone. I choose where it's uploaded, I choose what is showcased etc etc. When I upload something, it's because I want to share that creation with the community but under no circumstance does that give anyone the right to tell me where it should be or how it should be showcased or updated. What Haljackey is doing is wrong. He is going against their wishes, updating without permission and giving false info. This is not his project, his creation and simply has no right to be doing so. Keep crapping on them, they will crap back sooner or later and I don't think anyone will like the end result of that. I would be livid if someone was doing this with my creations.

Blam members: CHILL out! You are actly like it's the end of the world or something. Maybe he didn't know he was doing something wrong. @ Northsider: I would appreciate it very much if you have anything of mine in your plugin folder, that you do not redistribute it. Thank you.

Uh oh....I hear the jingle jangle of a lock clamping down on this poor thread...and before it does. @ Zwabberaar: You may not like BSC but at least we know what the heck we are talking about and very proud of it!! If that is elitist..so be it.

Ripplejet is very correct. Missing textures NEVER give brown boxes. You are missing a dependency. This is why the readme is included in downloads so you know what other files you may need. My suggestion is to read the readme...go download the correct files and those brown boxes should disappear.

It's wonderful to see you back Frankie. Your project is off to a wonderful start. My best advise on the logs is that, you will have to use timed props to make it do what you want. PM me when you get to that point. I'm looking forward to watching the progress on this project.

I guess it's that time of the month again...everyone complaing about dependencies again....don't you ever get tired of it? It's pretty simple...if you don't like dealing with BSC and their dependency issue, then just move along....there are plenty of other custom content out there that has zero dependencies or better yet....download it, get the model and make your own darn lot. You wonder why we left??????????? This is exactly why.....

As Tage pointed out in the previous post, please download the manual and read it. It's very interesting and I learned a lot of things from it. Anyone not using the CAM, is missing out on a wonderful MOD and brand new way of playing SC4

I have not yet had the time to play the game with CAM installed yet but I did take the time to download each and every download needed. It took me all of 30 minutes to download them all. Most of them I already had so it wasn't that complicated. Now...organizing my plugin folder for the CAM...well....that may take the rest of the year to do...
