(I guess this should go in this forum. Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody.) So I am into modular sets ; I am just finishing a set of park paths -- narrow & wide pieces and end pieces for each set (that's three sets -- all told, 43 pieces) ; I want them to show up in a somewhat logical order in the park menu (straights with straights, diags with diags, etc.) to minimize the going to and fro (it annoys me, in some others' sets...). I know whatever is in any given player's park menu will interfere with my order, but that can't be helped much. At least they would be in a sequence. I thought I would give each set its own menu order tag. It works, but not completely. When relotting Diggis' Ponds Grass set, however, way back then, I noticed that each lot had a different menu order number ; would it be a better way to go at it ?

I just finished relotting Paeng's WSP park (for lighting...) and I assigned it a new order so that the (numerous) pieces would show up near the beginning (0xFFFFFF20) of the park menu in my working plugins folder. (The order assigned by Paeng puts them at the very end of the park menu, which I find inconvenient, considering the length of my playing park menu !). I noticed there seems to be some slippage (can't find another appropriate term !) from one icon to the next : i.e the icon of a lot does not correspond to what is plopped but to what is before, or after. I verified that the icons where the right ones. I also noticed that the menu presents with the Momentarily Missing Icon Syndrome, i.e. at some point down the list, the icons only show up if scrolling down (and then stay correctly in their place, but before that I only get the orange tongue of the menu, without icons.) Is there somebody out there who would have an idea why this is happening and how to keep it from happening ?

Yesterday I found Soldyne's guide in the omnibus section about how to change the item order in the game menus with ilive reader, and decided to tidy up things a bit. Took me almost all night, but it is well worth it! I definitely enjoy this game even more now that every item in the right place. Well..Almost every item. Quite often for older lots and exotic creations, I had to add the Item Order property manually, but for a reason I ignore I couldn't change the order of some of them despite I could add the property and assign the value to the lot. So I got a few questions 1. What is preventing me to change the item order of those odd lots? I noticed a few had their exemplar file colored in blue, like if some propertie was embedded to them. 2. When 2 lots have the same item order, what is the second property that prevails for menu order and is it possible to tweak it safely? 3. I was able to reassign lots in different occupancy groups (i.e erase a lot from the misc. transit menu and have it appear in the water menu), but does this alter in any undesired way the properties of the lot? 4. I couldn't find the occupant group value for both roads and highways menus. Is it possible to move some lots in those menus or is it more complicated? Thanks
