CStyle

I've look with no luck yet. Closest thing i found was a list of all 40+ ordinances that had a note saying that section was used only by the advisors.

I'm trying to figure this out also. The issue is not modifying an ordinance. The issue is the requirement. Example: trash presort ordinance requires a recycling center before it becomes available to turn on. So even if you modified it to be a bonus lottery/gambling ordinance, you will not be able to use it until you build a recycling center. So the question is, where is this requirement found to be turned off so you can modify the ordinance and use it without having to build a recycling center.

2016 bump - i'm having this same issue. First time installing NAM ever, version 34, and I open TSCT, it loads the current settings, i make an adjustment and save, just to receive the error, "Error Deleting File(s)." My version info is; TSCT 1.3.5 (1725), Simulator Version 2.6. But, if any of ya'll are still waiting for a "simpler solution" or for future readers....this is my solution. Go to the location that TSCT was installed to, and right click on "TSCT.bat". Use the Open With Option and choose Notepad. You may have to run notepad manually, then just click and drag TSCT.bat into the notepad file. I immediately hit "File / Save As" and saved it to my desktop instead, then edited it adding 1 line to the beginning so it reads; cd "\Program Files (x86)\Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool" start /min cmd /C "java -jar TSCT.jar || %windir%\SysWOW64\java -jar TSCT.jar" If you used the standard install directory you can just copy and paste that. If you changed the install directory, you'll have to point to the location you chose instead. I've had no problems since. I just right click on "my" batch file and Run As Admin, instead of trying to run the standard shortcut as admin which I deleted.

Brilliant. That does help me get closer. After reading that article, thank you by the way, I did some checking. It is also updated saying that "Origin has fixed the issue", but I'm still having problems. While the article says that Origin was using it's variation of 1.1.610 that replaced the SafeDisc Protection with the DRM, when I looked I had 1.1.641. Trying to be crafty, I popped my CD1 back in the drive and copied the SimCity 4.exe from the CD to the Origin install folder, mixing up the CD .exe with the Digital Install, to discover that it was Version 1.1.610 which was expected. So I then re-ran the EP1 Updates which brought the version up to 1.1.638, but I stll get the error when trying to install the BAT. Do you know if the checksum has to do with more than just the SimCity 4.exe, like any of the .dat files or something? Because from other research, the only other thing I noticed is that my "SimCity_1.dat" is 144,589,077 bytes when I was expecting it to be 144,596,245 bytes after applying the EP1 Update. Unfortunately, I did buy it from Origin 2 years ago, (which would have been about the 5th time i have bought it, LOL), I just haven't played in awhile and am now just discovering all these add-ons which brought this to my attention, so I'm unsure if Origin would be willing to refund me now or not. Don't know if this new version info might help with a possible resolution, but thanks again for that article.

I'm going to bump this because I need help also, but have some more insight to provide. I installed GMax, then tried to install BAT and it keeps telling me that SC4 Deluxe does not appear to be installed. I have the original CDs for SC4 Deluxe but they have been scratched horribly and since it is a pain in the butt to find locally, I bought the Digital Download from Origin...because at the time I did not want to order it online and wait for shipping what/not. Here is what I know, and tried although it has still all been unsuccessful. I uninstalled SC4D entirely due to the "Origin\" install folder, and i cleared out any leftover data from the "Origin\SC4" install folder and also the "MyDocuments\SC4 folder". I updated the settings in Origin so the Default Installation folder would be Maxis\ instead of Origin\. So when I reinstalled it, now it is in "Program Files (x86)\Maxis\". Then I tried to install BAT again, but still got the same error. For giggles, I uninstalled it and wiped the folders again and launched the install from the CD. Here is what I noticed. While the CD installs to "Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe", Origin installs it to "Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition". So after a couple minutes, as usual, the install crapped out due to the damage on the CD which I expected. I cleared the folders again and did another reinstall from Origin. After it completed, I renamed the "SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition" folder that Original created to "SimCity 4 Deluxe" to match where the CD would have installed, tried to install BAT, and still got the same error. At this point, I am at a loss. I figured that folder rename should have solved the problem, but I guess it goes deeper. Maybe instead of looking for a file or folder on the hard drive BAT is actually looking in the Registry? I will try and play with that later, but was wondering if any of this could bring light on the problem for someone here to identify a resolve.
