Title: Gare du Nord
Post by: snorrelli on January 17, 2008, 11:07:26 AM
So... I installed the new GdN lot and got the separate updated texture and prop files. Now when I load the city, I get a missing plugin warning:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg225.imageshack.us%2Fimg225%2F7825%2F21862665su2.jpg&hash=4b1c5771d9040aad052214e03d09f027fc92dca4)

I have all the dependencies, and no brown boxes, so... anyone know what's up here?

You need to look for a brown box somewhere as that means you are missing a model from somewhere. There is no way to check what that Plugin number refers to.

There were trees on that lot-try downloading his tree props.That might fix it  :thumbsup:

I have a question for you. 
Did you have the old GdN and than delete it before you installed the new one? 
If so, this error could come from the fact that you have the old one plopped somewhere in one of your cities. 
This would be the brown box Barby is speaking of.  Delete it and you should be okay.  I had the same problem.

I did have the old one right there in the same spot and removed it, along with all the files associated with it, before installing this one. I don't have it plopped anywhere else... %wrd

Patrick, just check that you don't have the old file lurking somewhere. That is the only thing that I can think might cause this.

Alright... I'm well and truly stumped. I have all the dependencies I'm supposed to have, none of the old files I'm not supposed to have, now brown boxes and no city that has or has ever had the station except this one... %wrd

I'm guessing the problem is related specifically to having had the old version in this city, in this exact same spot. Bulldozing, deleting, replacing and plopping again has given it some kind of hiccup. I'll see how bad it annoys me and either learn to deal with the pop-up warning or put the old version back in...

Thanks anyway... ;)

Sorry to bump... &ops

I did just realize that BSC Textures JENX Gare_Du_Nord Vol01 is not listed as a dependency for this lot but I have it on my machine. It's in the BSC Textures folder, however, which means it had to have been put there by a BSC installer and is not an orphan from the original download. That said, although I'm pretty sure I got it from the LEX here at some point, I can't find it now to save my life.

In any case, the missing plugin warning seems to appear with or without the file, so maybe this is unrelated?

If I'm not mistaken, the textures are also included in xannepan's Gare du Nord prop pack.
Title: Re: Gare du Nord
Post by: High5Tower on January 21, 2008, 11:47:34 AM
That pack was included in the BSC Textures Vol01 pack I believe. At least thats what the Cleanitol BSC Mega Packs says.
I too have been trying to get this bat to work and have tried everything. I never had the original.
Any clues out there from the hundreds of you that do have this great bat functioning?
Out of over 4GB of working downloads this is my one and only non working bat.

BSC Textures JENX Gare_Du_Nord Vol01.dat is included in BSC Textures Vol02 so should be deleted from your plugins.
There were only the lot and model pack included in the last upload and the following dependencies:
# JENXPROP_Tree_Pack1
# PorkieProps_Vol1
# BSCBATProps_JENX_Gare_du_Nord_Vol01 - with the comment to make sure you have the updated version.
Try re downloading the last in the list and see if that makes any difference. If not please post an image so I can try to work out what might be missing.

Thanks for the help, Barby...

I made sure I had the right dependencies - downloaded them all again, just to make sure. Still get the pop-up warning. I should mention that the lot works fine. The only problem is the missing plugin warning when I load the city.

Here are pics:

I recognize props from all three dependency packs - Porkie's (obviously), the trees and the GdN props. The only thing I can spot that maybe is off is that the spot lights don't really match up to the lamp posts on the side... ???

The links in the readme are pointing to a local destination (the writer have forgotten the http://, so it tries to look into some folder in the Temp catalogue).

I have the same problem, and I found a brown box in the Gare du Nord (I have all needed Dependencies) like the screenshot:

Even though they aren't listed, SC4Tool is showing Maxis props, meaning you need at least one of the following files, if not both. But these are pretty much standard.

bldgprop_vol1.dat;http://simcity.ea.com/downloads/getfile_pri.php?filename=bldgprop_vol1.dat
bldgprop_vol2.dat;http://simcity.ea.com/downloads/getfile_pri.php?filename=bldgprop_vol2.dat

Any clues as to what that little brown box is in  plunderer's screenshot? &mmm
And yes I have those two dependencies.
This is an interesting little problem.

I can confirm (as if the screenshot isn't enough :D). SC4 Tool does not identify any missing dependencies. I, however, do not have the brown box inside the station shown in plunderer's pic... ()what()

sorry to bump this thread, but I didn't think it was necessary (correct me if I'm wrong here) to make a second thread about a problem with the same BAT.

Now, the problem is I have odd bright white light stripes on both east and west side of the station. I have all the dependancies and a screenshot of the problem will soon follow
