After searching, saying #@$%#$$%^*%^!!! and can't find it, it is importend to give sollutions. I really thought this is the end, I quit. Quess I needed a push in the back so thanks @T Wrecks and @Cyclone Boom.

Allright, this is what I did. - I went to Steam and removed CS4 from my library - I went to C/86/steam/apps/common à Removed CS4 (I have back up) - Installed windows again - Installed CS4 again - Installed the NAM again - Installed GMax/SC4BAT again à there is a list of things that had to be installed again, this was one of it. I opened CS4 and everything seems to be fine. I have installed the NAM again and I think that is only possible when you have a legal CS4 game. Then I opened SC4BAT and it works fine, until I want to export. It gives this messages: ERROR: CODE 11: FAILED TO EXPORT S3D Then I found this in the troubleshooting documentation. Error saving export nodes to the output file. Possible causes: 1. File sharing violation. Close any SC4 related programs. 2. Output file is write-protected (read-only). 3. Bad units. Make sure you are using metric. Because these three suggestions are not the case, I thought it had something to do with the patch, because this is what I see with alt/tab There is no number behind it. So I thought I haven’t got the patch, that is the reason the BAT can’t export. But by installing the patch I got the error. After that I sunk in a hole and was a bit sick of it all. So I thought: goodbuy After reading the comments I checked C/86/Steam/Apps/common there is this: version: 1.1.641.0 So this seems ok. I can play the game, it doesn’t crash and seems fine. I haven’t installed the patch, that still don’t work, but because of the number it isn’t necessary. (I think) Leaves the question why I can’t export in the BAT. Tomorrow (maybe the day after tomorrow) is another day and I will check the builders forum for an answer. Thanks for your kind replies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, I am sometimes so silly. It was my virus protection. That program stopped Gmax from exporting. I give it a green light and now everything is working again. Pfff, Why didn't I think of that three days ago.

Dear fellow player, I’m saying goodbye to you. After the freezes and crashes, removing seasonal things, I thought SC4 was pretty stable. But then I installed windows again and after reinstalling, the BAT couldn’t export anymore: code 11. And I saw that the SC4 I installed wasn’t patched. So, after alt/tab it just says SC4 and not with a number behind it. So I want to instal the patch but that didn’t work because he couldn’t find a file. After digging and reading, the only thing I read was that it must be an illegal copy, but mine is from steam and I always played with it. To make it short, I want to play and create but I keep struggeling to get the game to work a little bit normal. I’m moving over to CS, not because I like that game ( I love SC4 so much more) but because problem solving in a pc is not my thing. I wanna play and create. Thanks everybody for everything I’ve learned about the game, the tips and tricks and all that kind of things. Cheerio

First Thing I dare to show, made with GMax. Yes, it is fun. Taking pictures outside, editing in Gimp and then make your model. It is far from ready, but I wanted to see how it looks in game and took a screenshot. I know what to do the next few years.

Fantastic work and thanks for the text! I am discovering the BAT these days and struggling with textures which are fuzzy and not sharp. I am scrolling through settings, see videos on you tube, tried jpeg files, tga files and others, read about alpha channels en read tutorials on this side. and still, it is not good. And then I see this...Man, it's amazing!

Broccoli is nice, as long as it has not been cooked to long. 1 min, not longer. Keep the boiled water and make an easy sauce with butter, kitchen flour, an curry.

Got it and now you mentioned it, I have read this before. Whatever, Thanks!

My first steps with Gmax are a fact, but now I have a 'problem'. I wanted to export this Billboard to see how the shape is looking, but I think I am missing a button. I think I need a B.A.T button in the red circle to export this thing. With this topic I installed everything. Does Someone know what I forget, did wrong?

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3247 I know this one

What I know is that the second link don't contain all the mmp's you see at the photo's in the first link. There is a list with the first link where all the props come from. The bikeshed by example is a prop from MiscV1. Don't know where to find the mmp of this bikeshed. Maybe this will help. Or this Or this list.

Still playing with the Dutch buildings, with some old and new stuff in between.

A month further, but anyway. I have windows 10. I have used files2dat and now I have installed sc4datpacker. I needed Java for this program to run. The only 'issue' that I had was my browser. Normally I use google chrome, but that didn't work. Edge also, didn't work. I had to download it with internet explorer and everything was fine.

I put the folder Paeng Sandstone booster in my plugins folder and no boxes. I put only the folder Paeng sandstone booster in my plugins folder and there were brown boxes ( same as above) I put only the folder Paengs sandstone booster and Paengs rural jail in my plugins folder and no brown boxes. As far as I tested it, I need Paengs rural jail. edit:photos. It is this model file: paeng1-0x5ad0e817_0x713d210c_0x30000.SC4Model what did the trick for me.

There are so many people who build things I can only dream of, when I compare my own game with others. So I try not to do that and only enjoy the view I see. There are some nice tutorials on youtube which helped me a lot. Keep bulldozing and try again, I would say. Next time it is one hour and later on 20 minutes.

Tested and true. @jeffryfisher, thanks for mentioning.
