Road Top Mass Transit (RTMT) - Development and Support
SongCloud replied to cogeo's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Makes sense. When I first installed RTMT v3.50, I went through and selected the single prop files for the signs, timetables, etc as instructed, and then used the guide to download the dependencies for the various stations I wanted to use. I must have missed one, because I was getting a brown box for a single bus station. As I searched, I came across the 3.60 patch, so I installed that. With that patch came additional stations and things which I did not have any pictures of, so I could not easily pick and choose which ones I wanted to use in the city. This need spawned the second question in my first post regarding a sheet or listing of the props/models with the associated file names so that one can easily determine which ones they would like to use in their city. Seeing as your answer was that this is not something that is currently done, I am using a test plot and experimenting on my own to determine which files correspond to which files. Your insight above by expanding on the relationship between the APropBase and PropF files truly helps with this. Once I have something together, I can hopefully upload it for anyone else who may want that info. That being said, I saw the dependencies in the readme for the 3.50 patch regarding what props needed what dependencies. I did not see this in the 3.60 readme, so I assumed that the new stations included with that patch also came with the associated dependencies. If this is not the case, then that may be part of the problem. Indeed, being fairly new to the plugins area and having only played the vanilla version of the game until lately, I'm still learning how all of the overrides and things work, but it is definitely interesting and having such a great community who is willing to help and is still passionate about the game after all this time is truly amazing. Believe me, I fully understand this as I have been a part of projects like this for various things over the years myself, so I know how that can be. RL always comes first, and I appreciate the time you've taken and the work you have done on this, as I'm sure a lot of us here do. So even if all RTMT lots were bulldozed in the entire region, switching back to single mode is not possible? I'm wondering if any single prop files were mistakenly left present after install and if that may be contributing to the random brown boxes now that they have been removed. -

I chose to go with the prop family method, as I saw someone say that you could tailor the stops in a way based on areas of the city, etc. If the single method is better, I have no issues swapping to that to see. Also, does going with either mean that we cannot have multiple kinds? For example, if I wanted to use the Big blue Bus Stop along with the DPMO stop, I would assume I needed to have both in the props folder, correct? Removal of the others would mean that they would not be used and the lots plopped each time would be random between which of these 2 stops were selected. Is that correct? As for the brown boxes, here is what I mean: Some zoomed in examples. Probably happens 1 out of every 10 or so plops for most of them: I can zoom in closer on any of them as needed if you need a closer look. I can also provide a listing of the files in the models and props folders, respectively, if that helps. I know it's been in development a while and has a lot of things going into it, so can't even imagine how much work has gone into the new version. Is there an estimated date for this to be released? It sounds like it will be a major change and great way of simplifying the install of RTMT. -

So I have two questions for you awesome people. #1 - I have a few brown boxes appearing every now and then when I plop a lot. Seems like one of the GLR/bus/Sub-in-Ave. stations is missing something, and one of the bus ones is missing something. Is there any good way to tell what is missing from what lot so I can get the proper dependency? #2 - The readme for the RTMT3.50 install shows some props/stations and the associated prop files so we can identify what ones we like and want to keep and what ones to ditch. Since teh 3.60 pack includes more stations, is there any way to have a list or show the pictures for each prop and associated file name so that we can determine what to remove/keep based on the style that we want? Thanks in advance for any help!
