Title: Brown box help - streetlights at night
Post by: ElPhantasmo69 on February 07, 2007, 12:07:57 PM
Does anyone have any idea as to why my avenue light standards do this at night only? I can't find a mod that I've installed to change the default avenue lights, and I'm positive that my SC4 is patched up as much as can be (I could be wrong; I'm not God).

EDIT - I may have helped myself after about two months of putting up with it and finally breaking down and asking for help. Turns out the Athens Olympic Stadium (which I've never bothered to delete) can cause this.

Hello ElPhantasmo,
I cant help you saying a mod name / dependency  ::) .

I would suggest you that you try to detect what is causing the problem, following the "traditional reverse engineering" method  ;)

Rename your plugins folder to anything different. Create a new plugins forlder empty. Run the game. Do the avenues work ok ?¿, then start copying the mods/lots/bats you suspect may be causing this to the new plugins folder. Do it one by one. I mean, copy the first and run the game. If this is not the one, exit and copy the second, and so on until you find the one that makes the brown boxes to show. If you have plugins also in C:\Program Files, you should follow the same process for both folders.

Once you have found the mod that created this conflict, you can decide to delete it, or search the readme and install the needed dependencies.

I hope this helps.

HI ,

Have you already verify that it isn't a light mod from cogeo ? I use them and under LE I've found props coming with these mods .

Thanks for your help, guys. Turns out that the Athens Olympic Stadium was the culprit after all.
