Unlike you guys, my computer skills weren't from my family, in fact my dad wouldn't let me open up my own PC until I was like 14 LOL, and he tried to help me install a GPU... which he had no idea how to do. He didn't even know the thing had one already installed (GTX 550 Ti). Anyway, i started unscrewing the old GPU and he was all like "WTF ARE YOU DOING" and i explained since we are upgrading the GPU (GTX 670 4GB) that the old one would be useless. So once that was installed, I plugged in the two power cables into the GPU, but he insisted i only plug one in because the old one had only one, so he thought it would get "too much power", i insisted to keep both plugged in so we did. That computer lasted me 5 more years after that. The specs of said PC: some ASUS AM3 mobo AMD Phenom II 1100T 8GB DDR3-1600 GTX 670 Case was a Cooler Master HAF 912 I sold the thing so i could build my current rig, which my dad was also wary about "you might break it!" Specs: MSI B350 Tomahawk AMD Ryzen 1600 at 3.8GHz 32GB DDR4-3000 GTX 1070 Founder's Edition Case is a NZXT S340 (Damaged from an incident back in august 2018) Said system is getting a refresh as soon as my parts come in: New parts: MSI X570 MPG AMD Ryzen 3600 ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1070 Ti (sold to me by a friend after he upgraded to a 2080 Ti) New case is a NZXT H510 Mom was never good with computers either, although she accused my dad of being a "forensic hacker", god does she have a massive case of paranoia... lol my dad can't even type faster than like 2 words per minute (my mom has always been a quick typer). Hell, my mom and dad both ask me to fix their computer problems, always have since a very young age. Anyway, enough textwalls for now.

Hey, I've been off and on here myself, but welcome back @Leo_the_robot! Maybe i should make my own thread for my return, although i'll probably disappear for a bit again lol... If SC4 would stop giving me these stupid random CTDs i might be more active...

Awesomesauce!

You guys got room for 1 more? Bryan Male Cancer

Hey guys, I've been using Blender for a few years now, and i have some (very) basic python knowledge. Now that i'm back into SC4, and don't have a copy of 3ds Max 2014, i'd like to help out the community a bit and start a project that would benefit not just me but a lot of people. My only issue is that my skill set is kind of weak. I have dug up some useful info, but i suck at math. http://users.tpg.com.au/rivit/rvt-SimCity-articles2.htm <- some useful stuff here https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=17650.20 <- page 2 has some nifty stuff too If anyone is interested let me know (i'm sure a lot of people are)

UPDATE: Solved, see bottom edit. Hey guys, I'm trying to mod the regional transportation view, and while i've managed to get RHW to show (by copying the exemplar), i can't seem to figure out how to make it any other color than black. Now, i know Heblem did it awhile back, but by putting those exemplars side by side, there are no differences whatsoever, besides a few missing properties which seem to do nothing relevant. If i copy the exemplar from Heblem's mod, POOF! It's magically orange. It makes no sense, unless there's something reader just isn't telling me. I've used 1.5, and 0.93, and no dice. Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\Network Addon Mod\Real Highway Mod\RealHighway_Regional_Transport_Map.dat Look at exemplar 0x6534284a,0x690f693f,0x4a0b68f3 in both. Yes, there is a color ramp property, no it does not do anything because it's missing in Heblem's mod and yet it's orange. Believe me, i've tested the hell out of both mods, modified, swapped exemplars, and the results baffle me. A little insight would be nice. EDIT: Just figured it out. If you go to the exemplar i mention earlier and change the color ramp property (i changed all 4, don't know which one does what) to your highway color. Just in case the colors confuse you, it's 0xAARRGGBB (alpha, red, green, blue). I left the alpha untouched. I still don't know why Heblem's mod doesn't have a color ramp in the 2nd exemplar. Oh well, at least i figured my end out.

Looks like just one lot to me. When did this start? Sort your plugins folder by date modified, and move the most recent and/or relevant entry out of the plugins folder. Specifically look for sc4lot files, looks like an amatuer mod to me. If this helps let me know.
