Title: Cannot alter lot names, changes take no effect
Post by: Howling on May 03, 2007, 02:58:03 PM
Hey,

I've made a couple of simple lots for personal use in SC. They were based of a 1 tile park lot (Maxis) and later based off each other. However for some reason the latest lots all have the same name, no matter what I change in the Exemplar Name boxes (Reader) or in the name field in LEprop - they stay the same. Am I overlooking an exemplar? Is it the User Visible Name Key perhaps? That's all in HEX...  :'(

Yes, the User Visible Name Key is a TGI (Type, Group, Instance) address that points to an LTEXT file available in your localized SimCityLocale.DAT, in your case probably located in the folder C:\Program\Maxis\SimCity 4\Dutch

By deleting the property User Visible Name Key, whatever name you've given in the property Exemplar Name will take over instead. ;)
