  1. Lot - Resources / Help

    Dracoceros replied to Jasoncw's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    I would like to know if it's possible at all to change the size or add a different municipal airport? I'm having trouble with the loteditor and PIM-X, as it only allows "Save", no Save As, and the airports are just too big to fit in my city blocks.
  2. I want to assign plops a custom name. However, using "Item Name" from within the Ilives Reader doesn't do this. Same for description, using "item description" doesn't do this. I suspect the Item Name Key and Item Description key assigns this, but I don't know how to take advantage of this. The Item Name and Description only seems to modify the building when it's plopped.

  3. Lot - Resources / Help

    Oh? I was under the impression that the new lot would override the old medical centers, causing them to shrink a bit. I would like to know how you did it tho, I think it has something to do with the exemplar data, specifically the references, right?

    I guess I could create a new lot. But I really don't want to see TWO medical centers with exact features on the menu. But I guess I can deal with it.

  7. Lot - Resources / Help

    I need to make sc4lot overwrite for large medical center. I want to reduce its size from 4x3 to 3x3. But the save button is greyed out and PIM-X does not support changing lot sizes. How do I do this?
  8. Ah that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.
  9. I've noticed that people use parking garages nowadays not only for Residential uses, but also for Commercial uses (afaik). It seems only fair to make parking garages in SimCity work the same. How exactly does the parking garage work for the residential in concerns of dat stats?

  10. Lot Icon Template (Paint.net)

    I looked around for a suitable icon creation kit, but I couldn't find one that was close enough to my likings for the game. Thus, I instead used the basic version of paint.net without any addons to create a mock-up version of the icon. It turned out so well, I decided to make a template in .pdn (paint.net) format for anyone to use. Simple insert your image (44x44 pixels, 4 of them, 3 colored, 1 greyscale), delete the excess pixels (which would normally overlap transparent pixels) into the four slots. If your image is bigger than 44 pixels long and wide, crop the image to a square size, and then reduce the image down by using either fant or super sampling, down to 44 pixels. After that, insert your image four times, making sure that the left most image is greyscale (You can make it so by going to adjustments > Black and White) And that's it! Simple and effective! Here's a short video showing how to use this.
  11. I mean, do I need to enter anything for the RPatch? Yes, I'm having problems. I entered nothing into RPatch, then saved patch as "Patch.kbi", and did the same for creating dat. however, when going back, no file was created. EDIT: I figured out my problem, I didn't add any items to the patch. ^^;
  12. So, how exactly to create a patch in Ilives reader? It's asking for RPatch information right now, then it asks for a file.
  13. I'm trying to alter the coverage radius of the fire landing strip. But when I save this file (simcity_4.dat), the game will crash on start (I will have to repair the game files to make the game work again, but doing this also erases the changes I made.)
  14. I accidentally overwrote my Simcity_1.dat file. Does anyone have a backup of an unmodified version?

  15. How do I assign a lot a filter?

    Where do I download PIM-X? I don't see anything in SC4-PIM to create new buildings.
