Title: CAM, How does it work?
Post by: Lokiee on June 15, 2008, 12:01:27 PM
This has probably been asked in one way or another, but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for so I figured I'd start my own thread.   I have a few questions about how CAM works.  I'm starting with the starter packs that are available but it seems that some files needed for dependencies don't exist anymore or are parts of other mega packs now.  I'll use an example from the CAM Industry pack for my first  question.  In the industry folder Install_CAM_ID_47_BSC the readme says it needs SG Herbal Fukitol Factory as an essential, after much searching I found that that particular file is now only found in a dependency pack from SimGoober called SG_Industrial_Models_IM2_BSC that seems to just be a package of model files.  Is this model pack sufficient to go along with the CAM Industry pack, or do I also need SG's IM2 Lots pack?  Or do I have to actually find the Herbal Fukitol Factory model file separately? 

I think my last question for now is similar to the first.  Do I just need the model files for the CAM starter packs, or do I need all the original lot files and not just packs of models that everyone seems to be making now?  Any input will be greatly appreciated, I think the CAM thing is just what I've been looking for and it seems like it's a little more organized than just tossing a bunch of files and buildings in your plugins folder but I'm starting a fresh new region with it and I don't want to end up with a cardboard box factory in the future. 

I think that's about all I wanted to know for now, Thanks  :)

To answer your question briefly, you just need the models ie the SC4Model files and can remove the original lot and desc

As for SG Fukitol, I think the lot pack has been thru PIMX which means the lots are now CAMified

Thanks for the speedy reply, sorry I didn't post in the right section...didn't see a CAM forum.   With all these packs now I'm just worried about having too many doubles or missing too many files, it looks like SimGoober has CAMefied his own lots into his own packs also so hopefully I don't have any conflicts with the CAM starter packs when I finish installing them and move on to developers personal collections.
