Title: Brown boxes on railroad
Post by: pkwild on February 04, 2011, 08:25:02 AM
HELP.....I can't place a railroad.  The entire track is brown boxes.  Any idea what might be causing this?  It's a new install but I have put in quite a bit in my Plugins folder already.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions.  Thanks.

Do you have a picture of your problem?

Did you download a mod that adds catenaries to your railroad? If yes, did you download any dependency that needs?

I did download several mods, including the new railway mod from STEX, but thought I got all the dependencies.

Any help you could give me to point me in the right direction, would be great.

Thanks,
Pamela

It looks like you downloaded a mod with catenaries. Usually the mods has readme files. Find them, read them and check for any dependencies.

I think I found the problem.  I don't have the SFBT Essentials file.......duh!!  Can't get into STEX to get it as the server has been down all afternoon.  Can anyone send it to me?

OK.  Got that installed and still same problem.  The only other catenaries I have are the ones that came with NAM.  I only installed the latest version of the NAM on a new install of the game.  Any other ideas?

AFAIK the NAM doesnt include a caternary mod. You must have downloaded one and missed the dependency

Travis - thanks so much.  I found the problem.  It was a folder that was installed inside the NAM folder, so I thought it was part of it, and I was missing a dependency.  Found it and fixed it.  Rail is good now.  I really appreciate the help.

EDIT:  Can you tell me what is turning the end pieces of my ROADS into cul de sacs?

Looks like you installed the recently released NAM Retexture and Cosmetic Mod (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2589), which as far as I know is currently the only mod that adds road cul-de-sacs.
