The RTMT V3 Support Thread

[gartenriese]

Hi,

I wanted to install RTMT v3.5, but I think there are some files missing. For Example I can't find any BusSign files, though in the readme it says that they're included! In my case, I wanted to install "RTMTV3_Prop_BusSign_TfL.dat" but it's not there...

Thanks in advance...

Hi gartenriese

Welcome to RTMT, I have checked the RTMT v3.5 install at this end, and the file RTMTV3_Prop_BusSign_TfL.dat is installed in the Props subfolder ...

Where did you download v3.5 from ... and have you tried re-installing?

I downloaded it at the LEX. I tried redownloading and reinstalling, but the file isn't there...

Edit: Ok, I tried downloading the .zip version and now it's there. So it's just missing in the installer version!

[cogeo]

Exactly! The installer version contains two subsets of the props (in single-prop and prop-family mode). The zip version contains everyhting (except some dependency models, which you will have to download and install separately so as to avoid brown bioxes). Of course not all of these are required, so in a manual installation you must delete the files you don't need.

Since there are no dumb questions, I have to report my current problem: GLR in-road and on-road stations have 'disappeared' from the normal list of icons, and in the DAMN menus the icons are present but 'nothing' is attached to them.

I was away from the game for two or three weeks and before that I did some testing for Simulator Z that did not involve any construction of GLR. So I cannot remember when the icons went away, and whether this started only after upgrading RTMT to V3.60. I have looked in detail to the filenames in the RTMTV3 directory in my plugins and in its subdirectories: I cannot determine what is missing.

(I could delete everything in RTMTV3 and reinstall from scratch, but I would prefer to find out, if possible, where things went wrong.)

Try downloading and installing the latest version of these stations from the LEX.  They were updated when V3.60 was released; the menu positioning was one of the things that needed to be changed.  You should also remove any previous version of these stations before installing the new ones.

I have a question about station positioning. Whenever I try to place a particular avenue subway/bus station, the underground subway connector is always in the wrong spot. It seems that I originally had the rotation incorrectly the first time I place it, and now I cannot fix it because even through I point the arrow at the intersection during placement, it always places the subway connector to the side of the actual subway line. Is there any way to fix this?

[RippleJet]

In the case of 2×2 sized lots, the subway connector is always in the northwestern corner of the lot.
Regardless of which way the lot is rotated in the game!

[z]

More importantly, the location of that little square is actually meaningless in terms of functionality.  Subway connections can be made to any square in the station.

[RippleJet]

Quite true! Every tile within (or under) the lot is considered "inside" for the Transit Switch Point.

However, while I was still playing, I always thought it looked nicer if I managed
to get those subway tubes to actually connect with that square in the northwestern corner.

[SC4BOY]

Not to niggle a point, but it does matter how you connect it.. .. In this respect.. if you end up with a batch of tubes under the lot, either by accident or on purpose, you cannot delete them without bulldozing the whole lot. If you try to delete even one tube segment, which you may be paying dearly for , you will cause the collapse of the whole lot.. Even if it should be the stately (and huge) World Trade Center lot.. a sad event (and expensive)

[D4rkL0rd]

Thank you all for your input. I too prefer to position that little square along the tubes as nicely as possible.

Hello, im having some trouble getting roadtop stations to work properly, after i formatted my computer and installed again, im not getting the capacities i was used to before.
For example biggest road station capacity im getting is 14000, which is pretty low. Another thing is, if i open the transportation menu, the station are no longer showing those blue and red signs on top of them. If i query them i dont see that RTMTV icon neither the information window.


Only station that is actually functioning as it should is the asphalt/street roadtop stations.
Another thing i just realized is that the stations on the menu say Capacity : 4000

Already tried uninstalling, installing RTMTV 3.50 and 3.60, didnt help. Another thing, on the transportation menu, i dont need to plop the construction lot to unhide the stations.

[gabrielbyrnei]

Finally i found the cause, i had a RTMT3_NamCapacity_CAM in my old 3.50 folder. It isnt pointed out in the 3.60 readme that one should remove that file, would be a nice addition.

[z]

From the v3.60 Readme file:

There are a number of Stations files with NAMCapacity in their name.  As with the roadside files, for each type of Station file, you should pick a file ending in either High or Low, and delete any others.

I understand that the installation instructions for v3.60 are long and complex.  For this reason, v3.70 will come with an automatic installer, which should eliminate problems such as these.

[gabrielbyrnei]

I had a file ending on _CAM from the older 3.50 installation

Hello, I am new here and I found this wonderful world this weekend. I have spent some time trying/working/reading things thru and the only problem that I have came up with is after I addon v3.6, the sims dont ride the bus anymore.  none of them. I am just wondering if there is a quick fix or if there is something that you might need to know to troubleshot with me. Thanks for any information.

[z]

Could you please list the files you have installed in your main RTMTV3 folder?

[diamonddog_74]

Hi there folks.

I'm having trouble with RTMT Add-On Pack V3.60.

For some reason now, none of the on-the-road stations show up correctly on the menu anymore, only the next-to-road stations.

If I click on one of them, I get a brown box in the middle.

The only other thing I can think of is that I updated one of my dependency packs around the same time I applied RTMT 3.6: SFBT Essentials to March 2009 edition. Could this be the culprit?

Should I just downgrade RTMT to previous version?

[catty]

Hi diamonddog_74

Before you downgrade your RTMT installation, I would recommend installing the PEG OPPS Mod which replaces the brown box with a small multi-coloured smudge, you will then be able to see and query what you are missing, as the SFBT Essentials shouldn't have done anything to your RTMT installation, you can find the PEG OPPS Mod either on;

SIMPEG as PEG OPPS Mod  http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item193

or on

Simtropolis as PEG NO MORE BROWN BOXES  http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=15297

Hope that helps with your brown boxes, if not let us know what you are missing and we will try and find it for you
