  1. Hi guys, I did a complete Refresh-From Scratch Installation of my Laptop, now with windows 7. From the last time I kept my quiet large Plugin Folder of SC4, which is pretty much organised; Folder for Dependencies, Sets, Growables etc. So after reinstalling SC4 with the GOG version (and them included Updates to 641) I put for testing my Folder of previous installed Dependencies and some little Sets like BSC Canals or Paeng Park into my Plugin Folder. But none of these Lots show up in my menu. I downloaded them again, and they worked. So my question is: Does my old previous Copied PluginFolder is worthless and I have to download everything single thing again?!?! Much Oblieged. PS (in short) Is the Installation of Lots and Dependencies neccessary for working or does a copied file SHOULD work fine as well??

  2. Missing ALL (almost) after Re-Install

    These are indeed good news. Sorry for not mentioning DAMM before, I just didnt draw the line till the end. More or less right now I'm trying to get mods out of DAMM, which didnt worked so far, but we will see. As far as I can remember I downloaded everything and then gave DAMM manager a try. So its a big FUBAR. And download everything again sound kinda better to me than working on every singe lot. The bad pill still is that I cant say how much Growables Lots are affected, if so. If not then the whole download-again-process sounds way more comfortable to me. Cheers to you.

    I installed DAMN Manager. The programm found my 3 plugins, showed my little preview pics and additional information. No sign of them not being there and ready for using. Of course within the game nothing changed. I opened my old Exported DAMN Menu, which looks exactly as my old Plugin Folder. After I found the 3 pieces in there within the game I was able to plop them by using DAMN Manager Menu in the newsletter box. Other Lots of course didnt work. So far so good. That means I could possibly go back and play SC4 with DAMN. BUT and here is the dilemma. I didnt wanted to use these mangager this time, because after a while it is way to uncomfortable for me. (and whats with these squares in the left building)

    Haha, great. And I need you sharp for this operation! Allright. I try my luck with DAMN Manager. Just found the old Root Folder of the manager.

    Wow, I can say how much I admire your support. There is one thing I forgot to mention. Last time these mods, better say all of mine, worked were before I formated my old laptop completly. While I was building up my SC4 content and not really playing it, I used to have the DAMN Manager, because I was simply overwhelmed with Menus. Maybe this programm kind of "corrupted" my files. Besides that I only had the SC4 Launcher and BSC Cleanitol. Nothing else. No personal modification of mods. My old plugin structure looked about like that. Indeed this is my saved Plugin Folder. 1D - my Dependencies y_Sets (Sets for IndRevolution, Fillers, Paths, Seawalls etc.) z_aBuildings ( Subfolders for Civic, Landmarks, Rewards, Traffic(mostly Stations and Parkin) etc. z_bBuildings (Growables for RCI and an extra Plop Folder) I guess the rest in the list is selfexplaining.

    I did another complete Re-Install with the GOG version and added my bldg_prop.

    Yeah well good for it. Sadly this didn't get me any closer to my SC4 resurrection. But can it be that because of missing graphic files the Lot doesn't appear in the menu?

    new amsterdam replied to new amsterdam's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    And all I can see here is that I'm missing certain dependencies thus certain props they come along with. But I cant say what "FSH" means. Exausting.

    So today I tried my luck with the SC4DataNode. I have to admit my experiences and knowledge about programming makes me sit quiet in the back of class or even worse in the hallway. So anyone who has more experience with this program is welcome to join the discussion. I scanned a particular folder (a single police station). But I didn't found any self describing hint. The stations file appeared as harmless and working like the rest of the NAM dats which are actually working. To put it mildly, I actually have now clou what I`m looking at. I can just compare working(appear in menu) files with non working files.

    Mine looks quite the same. Except for Exemplars / Albums / Archive Folders.

    new amsterdam replied to new amsterdam's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I will give DataNode a try, this sounds promising. Thank you. DATPacked? Don't know what this exactly is. But I didn't modified anything after the download/install process. Only sorting and cataloging since there is no limit due to subfolders and for my own structural sake.

    I compared your mod list with the plugins that I have but didn't found any. My latest downloads were a few years back. Just the Jestar Dependencies you use I have in my old folder, which don't seem to work either. Doesn't the Lot should appear in the menu even without the dependency? Does a some kind of "Plugin Manager" could give me further answers?

    There shouldnt be any trace of the old SC4 disk version, because I completely formatted my laptop and gave him a brand new windows 7 version and I stored my old (by the time working) Plugin folder on an external hard drive for later. I also tried for example -- just one plugin (the BSC Canals) without dependency and by the today downloaded installer - Worked. -- my old plugin folder of the Canals -- Didn't Worked --both folders with different name -- also didn't Worked (My older BSC Canal Base set, has the same size and identical files) So I assume you are right when you say the files are kind of corrupted. But I can't imagine how... OR WHAT TO DO! I just simply can't start allover....

    There only is the expected folder structure. D - the place where the installed game is and User/documents/SimCity 4/plugins Which gave me the first impression of "as usual" and so I just dropped my old saved plugin folder in there. But thanks for fast answering. I hope for more
  16. Any solution shown up for this?

    Thanks for that fast answers. I complettly forgot the Traffic Simulator.
  19. Hi, At the moment I have the Italia Terrain Mod and CPT-No7a_Italia River_TreeController. So when I´m using it in God Mod I get these small package of buildings that appear at a certain height. Buildings like a small wooden house or the title related moonshine distillery. (I dont see them in the Mayor Mod Tree List.) Sure they look nice, but having next to the mountains top an uncountable number of small dark brown house may a bit to much alcohol for the whole city. I had the same problem with the Californian Terrain Mod as well. So my question is, does anyone knows how to get rid of them? Or is in my plugin just one treepack that I should remove? Thank you so much!!

  20. Treecontroller GodMod Moonshine

    new amsterdam replied to new amsterdam's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I made it quite simple and erased the "PEG-MTP_MM5-ForestStuff_MOD_100" Now everything is fine!!!! Much obliged!!

    Thanks for your incredibly fast answers. I´m sure that my dependencies are where they belong. I'll try the post that SimCoug mentioned. It's look like that it describes my problem indeed.

  22. DAMN Manager

    new amsterdam commented on yild's file in Tools

    I love your tool for organisation issue´s and it is a great invention for the sc4 gameplay BUT I have a little annoying problem.(and I wonder nobody mentioned it on these pages, or I just overread it)   Well, when I open the manager as usuall, I can switch through different sub menues like butter. while I´m in a menu and build one of them lots - the "Damn Manager Menu" turns from black typo to a grey color and I cant choose another one for eg a different tree or whatever. So it deactivates itself. I always have to press "Open Damn Menu" in the news ticker to be able to choose/build another one, which results in a lot of scrolling.   I can't imagine there is no solution for this .   anyway, much obliged
  23. Hi. I have exactly the same problem. Any solutions that have shown up? thanks
