DiagonalBridgeEnabler.dat got empty all of a sudden
Somnolence posted a topic in SC4 - Custom Content
I used DBE with DBE toggler for years with no issue, but at some point the DBE toggler dialog just stopped appearing and the game would start as if I didn't even have DBE. I inspected the DBE folder and it turned out that the DiagonalBridgeEnabler.dat file got empty (not deleted, literally empty, as in, 0 bytes). so I guess the "I didn't even have DBE" part was technically true? This was easy to solve, I just replaced the .dat file, but I don't know what might have caused the issue. I don't even know what happened last time it had worked (although it might have been a CTD or force-quit). Is this a known bug? Not that it's a hard-to-solve issue, but it still shouldn't happen. Note: I did switch to Linux+Wine at some point, but that's not when the issue started occurring.- 2 Replies

Can't Build Diagonal Rail Bridges with DBE NAM on Mac
AndyBlue posted a topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Hello all, I'm trying to build a diagonal rail bridge connecting two parts of my city (NYC Maxis map, Rockaway peninsula to Queens) using the Diagonal Bridge Enabler plugin. I have a good-looking diagonal avenue bridge over the drained water, but I can't get the rail network tiles to make a bridge to the other side. I thought I was supposed to simply drag the rail network over the drained water channel using the rail tile, but whenever I drag the rail line to the point where the land starts to rise again, the rail line turns red. I won't say how many hours I've spent trying to figure this out. I'm also confused whether I need a starter piece or I need to first make an elevated heavy rail incline to start the rail bridge. I've scoured the forums for any discussions of similar problems but couldn't find anything. I'm also trying to figure out how to make a diagonal (elevated rail) bridge across a water channel (e.g. the A train runs elevated from Broad Channel to the Rockaway). I'm reasonably sure the Diagonal Bridge Enabler plugin doesn't do this, but the elevated rail just stays at the bottom of the water channel. I finally gave up and made a subway but the transition puzzle piece for elevated rail to subway is only orthogonal and not diagonal, so my elevated-to-subway sections look crooked. Do I need to convert elevated rail to tram and then build a diagonal tram bridge? I feel like finding and printing a list of every NAM puzzle piece as it is easy to overlook them. I have the Mac Aspyr 32 bit version of SC4 (v. 1.2.1) and NAM version 38. I though the Rockaway section of the NYC map was going to be easy and didn't expect that the diagonals were going to beat me to a pulp. Thanks for any advice. -
Maybe someone here can offer some advice. Couldn't find a solution myself searching around. I've been trying to make a diagonal bridge using DBE and today for the first time I'm getting Brown Boxes along the bridge. I've never had a problem with it previously. I use NAM 32. What happens is the Brown Boxes generally appear at the beginning of the build and can subsequently disappear, only to reappear later. All the while the selected bridge skin does not fully render; when I click around, the missing pieces just relocate and I cannot complete the bridge look in full. Creating the bridge span is not a problem. My first guess is there's a plugin conflict and I've spent the last few hours weeding out possible/likely culprits but to no avail. Before I go the "start from an empty plugin folder route" I thought maybe someone has gone through this before and can help shed some light. Screens:
