Hello! I would like to assign a lot, specifically I building I downloaded, a filter/category. For example, there are 4 health filter categories: Medical Clinic, Hospital, Medical Center, and Disease Center. I want to assign a lot the Medical Center Category. I know that the Large Medical Center is actually a Hospital in-game, so I downloaded an even larger medical center to serve as the Medical Center for the game. However, I don't see any way to change it's filter. This may also be because it's just eyecandy (Doesn't actually change anything in-game?)

Hello, I'm getting stuck into creating prop families and so I've been properly setting up my ilives reader but I seem to have missed how to populate the "Name" column. I think I'm missing the "Building Prop Families" row but they all say "Unknown" I hope this is the the forum to post this, thanks! EDIT: Fixed it, in case anyone else has this same problem there is an .xml that Reader needs to be aware of in the Options menu. It should be in the SimCity game folder.

Need help finding Maxis building stats in Reader
oddstrange posted a topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
I downloaded a set of beautiful small houses and while its stats are alright, I want to make all parameters exactly the same as similar Maxis buildings.

Hello All, I am new to modding and trying to learn iLive's Reader Program. I'm starting with something simple called "Custom Loading Screen" that I found on the SimPeg4 site @ http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?topic=6734.0. I am running Windows XP - SP3 with all the latest updates to SimCity 4 Deluxe, the BAT Tool and the Windows Operating System. I have followed this article's instructions verbatim several times on both reader versions (0.9.3 and 1.4) but when I try and insert my "Image.png" file I get a message saying "No Entry Selected - Append To End?" Can someone tell me what this means? I am at this step in the article: Now that you are in the .dat file, (This is optional, the mod will work just fine without this.; copy the two MAD files and) create a new, blank .dat file. (You Must make a new blank .dat file.) (again, copying and pasting the two MAD files is totally optional .)Paste the two MAD files into the new .dat. Now, right click in the open white area below your two MAD files, and find "Insert File and Compress". Find your PNG file, and open it. I find that using the "Insert File and Compress" option produces a file that makes no sense at all but using the "Insert File" option will insert my "Image.png" file. The Readers Main Window has the following information: Entry Compressed Filesize Location Number Type Group Instance MAD File N 16958760 96 0 0a8b0e70 00000001 00000001 MAD File N 783316 16958856 1 0a8b0e70 00000001 00000002 PNG File N 735722 17742172 2 856ddbac 00000000 00000000 Now, when I save my "CustomIntro.dat File" I get another message that says: "The index number 2 seems invalid" The file does save but does not work when placed in the plugins folder and I tried both (Desktop\My Documents\Simcity 4\Plugins and C:\Program Files\Maxis\Simcity 4 Deluxe\Plugins. Anybody got any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If I can't do something this simple with the Reader then I guess I'm in for a steep learning curve and a rough go of it with more complex things. Anyway, thanks to all....................Runamuck
