Title: Patrol Carl Lot - what is missing?
Post by: 0rion79 on November 29, 2008, 09:28:42 AM
Hi all: this is the last thing that I need to fix before packing all my plug-ins.
This Patrol Car Lot has no road and, today, I have even been unable to buldoze one of them.
Can you guess from the picture if I'm missing anything? I'm almost sure (99%) that I've got all dependencies and, in fact, it had something strange from the first day of use.
Else, I will simply delete it, but it would be a shame :)

Can you give some more information on the creator and where you got it from as I don' t recognise it.

It looks to be the Patrol Car Lot by jasoncw (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=20031).

By the looks of your pic, the dependency you are missing is NDEX Parking Lots By Ardecila (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12774). This should make the parking lots and the driveway show up. Try this and report back to us.

I assume the lot you are talking about is the BSP Police - Patrol Car Lot (STEX) (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=20031).
This would mean that the only dependency would be the NDEX Parking Lots (STEX) (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12774) by Ardecila. In fact, make sure that you have both zADC_ParkingLot-LP.dat and ADC_Parking-LotTextures2.dat in your plugin folder.

Gah, you were first, Dan!

Yes, problem fixed: thank you very much.
Just to know, do you suggest me to keep those parkings? Do you use them? Or do you reccomand me to keep only essential files?

I do recommend that you keep them. This way if another lot has a dependency using those parking lots, you don't have to fish for them again. Also, it helps in the Lot Editor to have a variety of overlays and base textures.

I ment by a playing point of view: do you think that they can be useful?
PS, by the way: cool avatar. I love wolves...

By plopping these parking lots, you can help boost Commercial Services demand, so it can help if your CS demand is topped off.

- Yeah, I like wolves, as well. I've had the same avatar for over 3 years  ::)
