QuoteWhere is the icon you click to open the game, is it in a dock or if you have Vista in the games explorer? Because it must be in normal explorer and when you right click it and go to properties, the Start in value must be the ...\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity folder (Sometimes shows up as C:\PROGRA~1\Maxis\SIMCIT~1\)
what is a dock?
the starter value of the shortcut is: "D:\Games\Simulation\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps"
i have the SC4 shortcut in a folder named games, if that matters.

A dock is somethign that (generally) attaches to the edge of the desktop or screen and is like the Quicklaunch.
Like this and this

Anyway you need to remove the \Apps from the end of the path and then it will work.

Ok, thank you Einstein Jr. ;) It works now.

Daeley, I would suggest putting that in the readme, because it installed this way on my pc.

WHAT!? what is this computer talk doing here in this DAMN thread about another piece of Apple ending up in Windows with this dock thing!? That aside, I never say a word here, but after someone else mentioned it, I also think a DAMN should be given about NAM. Don't exactly know how this would be incorporated, since it would be divided alot with all the features. Daeley its great to hear you try to make a change instead of the TAB ring. Maybe accessing puzzle pieces would be easier and alot quicker this way.

wow...i forgot about this thread...tricky name change...lol

I have yet to try this out but it looks like a vast improvement over the mml method. Can't wait to try it out.

Thanx Daeley and all others involved.

I have succeeded in adding network items (aka puzzle pieces) to the DAMN with minor modifications to the DAMN code. I will update the DAMN download once we have made some categories for the NAM.
1. Install SC4+RH
2. Install LEX (CD&DVD helps) and latest NAM + updates
3. Play the game
4. ? ? ? ?
5. Profit!

JoeST

is that tabrings or individual pieces or something else?

btw, AWESOME!!!!

daeley

any piece, including those anywhere on a TAB-ring

Now we have to divide all existing pieces in subcategories of 6-7 pieces, create according icons and labels, and put those in a DAMN script. This will probably take some time though :)

edit: volunteers to make some icons are greatly appreciated :)

Sounds cool, what does SSP stand for?

Very nice tool, there are a few translation problems (not your fault though) could you provide details on how to translate it?
Also In the DAMN creator when you add a file, what does 002 mean in the exem and png column?

One other thing I think I got bug where I couldn't get past step 3, but I haven't got it again after restarting the program, maybe I just clicked the wrong button.

Otherwise extremely useful and clever! And you deserve a Karma point

Granted. 

I haven't had the chance to try this out yet, but have a couple of sets to test it on so will try this week sometime.  But a huge thanks in advance!

Found a bug:

Whenever I click a dat to make a DAMN file from, it selects S3D's as well as the FSH's. It shouldn't do that, it makes the filelist unnecessary long.

A bit of a special case here... but still. I am on Linux (Fedora 10,  latest Java) and it hangs as soon as you press any buttons (even the exit x in the top corner :o) using the command java -jar [filename]

Also how would I go about getting the source without using cvs?

(Oh and maybe you should create a support thread in the tools section of the forum?)

I tryed it, I like the sytem look better btw,
but now when i add files it seems to add all the exemplars with icons, and then twice that without, so you get it 3 times the amount of items than you should. Also what happened to that nice view lot feature, now it only shows the icon (which doesn't work properly).

I think the first one was better personally, but keep going because this tool is great! :thumbsup:
