  1. I was having problems with the Cache Builder only scanning a very small portion of the user Plugins folder, but it was remedied by removing the 'Read Only' attribute from the plugins folder, which I assume Windows applied by default. I have gotten some errors 'unable to load' for files not in the plugins folder, 'failed to load tulltexture.dat' and 'failed to load bike path textures.dat', but searching the plugins folder returns no results for those files, so not sure where the reference to them comes from. Unfortunately I got the error ' Error exporting lot configs: Illegal UTF-8 encoding in text string' and so the lots cbor is 0kb. Probably from some Chinese content. Currently I've just loaded advanced lot plop simultaneously, to get around the empty buildings list in advanced plop. Anyway looking forward to trying this out, thanks.

  2. IRM I-M SFBT Maschinenbau by MatheMan (SFBT)

    junspud reviewed T Wrecks's file in Industrial

    Sadly the link to the original is dead now and not mirrored elsewhere that I can find. By a stroke of luck though I found the original downloaded from a few years back.

  3. Show us What you're Working On

    junspud replied to Haljackey's topic in SC4 Showcase

    Unfortunate z-fighting issue on a particular lot (train terminal) but ah well. A while back I saw some some screenshots on SC4D forums from earlier development of the HRW network, which seems to have included some signals. I really wanted the signals, I imagine they were T21's. I didn't want to invest the effort of doing that yet though, instead I managed to work out doing an MMP instead thanks to the tutorial by MGB. Some screenshots also include a couple nice looking additional tunnels which I haven't been able to find. Sort of a prison complex with attached industrial facilities, with hybrid rail for visitors.
  4. Been greatly appreciating this thing, it's amazing. Never thought I'd see something like this. I've been using the voodoo wrapper and the github release, haven't had a single problem, other than SC4 runs a bit more janky using the wrapper, but I haven't tried out many of the options. Somewhat ironically the only real noticeable thing is the in-game menus don't scroll as smoothly. My Logitech mouse has a special scroll wheel (it basically lets you 'coast' the scroll wheel') which has been extremely useful in navigating the in-game menus, in case anyone wasn't aware of something like that existing. But yeah, this project is extremely useful. I've found lots and buildings I wasn't even aware of.

  5. index SimCity 4 Prop and Texture Catalog

    Recently I've noticed a lot of the search results have become rather vague, with no links to the files and/or names of the prop packs, such as;
  6. Since moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I've had a few problems relating to Ilives reader which I haven't been able to solve, related to settings. Firstly, the settings for Ilives Reader 093 don't seem to 'stick'. For example, I'll have the 'auto-fill' checked but it never auto-fills. More importantly, I can't get the descriptive exemplar values to work for zone and wealth types and ect, it only shows the hex values. I have the properties pointed to tropod_properties.xml (have tried both original and new github versions), but since a bunch of the other settings aren't working, I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. I've tried setting the compatibility and running as administrator, ect but neither has worked. READER.INI does get created. So I've been having to use the newer versions of Reader to get the descriptive values, as it does work correctly in those versions. This is fine, but, the downside is the newer version takes a few extra seconds to launch, which gets annoying. Another strange quirk, if I use the 'open with' dialog, and point to the Reader 093 executable, it still launches the newer version. This can be avoided by using version 155 instead of the installable .msi version, but I just thought it was odd. I haven't been able to find anything on this issue, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to remedy it. Thanks.
  7. I also experience the crashing once clicking 'move files'. Several versions of .Net up to version 9 are installed, directory and files not set as 'Read Only', error log is empty. Thanks.

    Since the tunnels looked identical to the FLUP tunnels I thought they'd be the same, but after a closer look at them them I see they're different in a few ways. One thing I've been confused about, sometimes when I extract textures using GoFSH, I'll use the 'save only largest' option, but I still end up with some much smaller textures. I don't know much about models and BATs and such at the moment. The draggable tunnels are an example of this; When I exact the TSR tunnels, I get the expected result of the uniform large textures, so it isn't a 1:1 replacement like I originally attempted. Is it a difference in the way they're rendered or something? Thanks.

    True about the cables, when I use the JPN sidewalk mod, I use the dats that disable the visible electrical wires, partly because it's a bit overwhelming like you say and partly because it has limited compatibility/coverage. On the other hand, I really like the wires that the Hybrid Rail in NAM uses. So you use Illustrator to warp and such the street textures? I'm going to have to try that out lol.

  10. Lot - Resources / Help

    junspud replied to Jasoncw's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Has anyone anyone had a problem adjusting the height of objects in PIM-X lot editor? When I try to adjust the height using ctrl-up/down, the lot editor window freezes. If I try to cycle through different modes, the cursor will change, but the actual editor window stays frozen and can't be interacted with. Thanks.

    Yes I think the textures ended up shifting somehow in a NAM update, I forgot to take a screen but it was just slightly not joined right anymore. I did also adjust and add a few other textures (US) to accommodate NAM updates from 48 and 49. The included X tile originally had a very subtle mismatch between the C and D, I think just because both the US and EU tiles had the same alpha but different styles, so this one has the US adapted to the EU styling instead. The 5F07230 tile just had some black jaggedish lines showing up or something (I forgot exactly what tbh) and so I just cleaned it up a little. I tried adapting the lot version of the tunnel portal into the new draggable street tunnels in NAM.DLL and slope mod, but I end up with this broken portion at this particular rotation and zoom. Not sure why, I assume it's probably something obvious I'm just unaware of. Maybe because the draggable version is a proper network tile and so contains more textures which the lot version lacks?

    junspud replied to hugues aroux's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    I downloaded the Mandelsoft GLR catenaries from an attachment a long time ago, tried a quick Google search but I didn't see it anymore, also not sure if the attachment would still work. I assume it isn't a problem to re-attach it here? A newer one would definitely be nice, especially with actual wires like HRW has. I was curious, to make the WWS tunnel models, did you do something like extracting the S3D textures and manually replacing the street texture portions in an image editor by hand? Thanks.
  13. Apologies if this has already been explained somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it. The UI adds the 'No kickout lower wealth' option. Does that mean the standalone 'No kickout lower wealth' DLL is unnecessary if you have the Building Styles DLL? If you have both installed, does the standalone one override unchecking it in the UI? Thanks.

  14. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    junspud replied to JakeMD's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    Ah yeah, I was seriously disappointed when I found out they were corrupt lol. The closest released thing I suppose is the small wall part of Bipins concrete walls set.

    junspud replied to JakeMD's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    I'm probably out of luck with this as it's very old, but does anyone know if these retaining walls by 'Xyloxadoria' were ever released in some fashion, as props or models or anything? https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=3850.20 They're very nice looking. I've been looking for something like it, I've only been able to find Neko overpass lots which are nice as well. Thanks.
