    Following the mentioned issue of lost files that were attached to posts, I was wondering if there is a way to search for posts that have such attachments. If not, could this be added? I feel that there is a number of very valuable or useful ones amongst those files-in-post. Yet they are hidden in a kind of darknet as they cannot be searched for. Here are a few examples of those files-in-posts: Wallibuk's files https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/761930-wallibuks-bats/?do=findComment&comment=1774965 https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/761930-wallibuks-bats/?do=findComment&comment=1790739 https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/761930-wallibuks-bats/?do=findComment&comment=1799863 https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/761930-wallibuks-bats/?do=findComment&comment=1802716 memo' NAM.dll: https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/762985-namdll-open-beta/?do=findComment&comment=1788789 rsc204's Diagonal Bridge bugfix: https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/763609-diagonal-bridge-rrw-issue/?do=findComment&comment=1807747 11241036's Secret Railway Stations: https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/73220-cant-find-it-ask-here/?do=findComment&comment=1745711
  2. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    I have sent you the file (and others) with a PM.
  3. Simtropolis Returns!

    I see, so those are long lost images, which might have had an ImageShack or PhotoBucket placeholder that now has been replaced by an ST placeholder in the course of the restoration work. That makes sense. Thanks!
  4. Simtropolis Returns!

    @CorinaMarie, @Cyclone Boom, I have a more general observation which I post here instead of in the recovery pages. Are we sure that nothing was lost prior to 17 June, 2024? E.g. for the file I link below, there are a great many comments going back to 2012, all with images. And all the images have a placeholder. I am certain I have seen placeholder images before in posts older than 17 June, 2024. I also notice that the original image name for all of these is "%3C". Maybe this helps investigating it.
  5. Riktor's Point Airport

    There is a good airport tutorial, How to build an Airport: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6600.0. Its the one I used for learning how to do this. There is also a 5-part YouTube series called SimCity 4 Masterclass - Airports which is a good start. As for the Airport pack, I still use SC4D LEX Legacy Ultimate Airport Pack despite the fact that it is labelled obsolete. I just don't know what else to use. There is the newer SC4 Legacy - Airport Common Dependency Pack but that is just a large dependencies pack. There does not seem to be a corresponding pack for Lots.
  6. Shenzhen Software Industry Base

    The mechanical floors at the top are marvellous and the nightlights on the lower roof terrace are something to behold. Stunning!
  7. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    I assume "Bell Tree Tower" is the Detective Conan manga name for the Tokyo Skytree? Both the Marina Bay Building and the Tokyo Skytree have been shown in City Journals by @thecitiescenter and Ke|is (see below). Unfortunately, no public downloads are available for either one of them. For Marina Bay this has to do with licensing rights and so is not likely to change. Perhaps @Ke|is has some additional information on the Tokyo Skytree?
  8. When recreating images, should we not add the recreations as new ones and leave the old placeholder images? That way creators can still see the name of their missing images (unless this is not necessary as the information is kept somewhere else, like in the tracker).
  9. Riktor's Point Airport

    @Tyberius06 @monicadm @TheMurderousCricket @ilikehotdogsalot @911Diva Thank you all very much for your kind comments!
  10. Sharer HQ: File Sharing Collaboration

    Just so that we have everything in one place, I quote here posts by @memo and @hugues aroux, who have shared their repository links in another thread:
  11. The details on how to restore files are described in this post: As for where to find files, there is, to my knowledge, no central repository. I think most, like myself, work from their own downloads, at least for now. The Calling All Volunteers! thread has post where some members provide a list of their downloads. Some provide public access to downloads: --------------------------------- EDIT: The Sharer HQ: File Sharing Collaboration thread has links to publicly accessible repositories.
  12. Verifier HQ: File Verifying Info & Discussion

    I noticed that I am not prevented from verifying files that I restored myself. Is that an oversight or is it ok if I verify those as well?
  13. Is there a post explaining how to add a file to the existing latest version (i.e. update it)? It seems I am creating new versions with the same version number.
    A marvellous set which is not limited to utopian cities. I have used the underwater pipes in contemporary harbour settings.
