Missing Files in BSC Downloads?

[mrbisonm]

I went to download the 3 BSC_Dealership lots and all say that all the files are *included*, no external dependency.
Hm....false (?). I cannot see half of the props on these lots in LE and ingame. Can someone please explain?

BSC Dealership - Honda
BSC Dealership - Producta Nissan
BSC Dealeship - Metropolitan Ford

Thank you

Fred

Hey Fred. I like the set of farm props you're doing. Especially the propane corncob dryer. Wow! You're going to make me work harder on my next set of farm lots.

Back to the topic... Well, I don't have these dealerships in my game. And I can't think of a better time to check them out. I might also be able to offer some help at the same time. So I emptied out my plugin folder and downloaded the Honda dealership.

This is where the files deployed ...



And this is the lot in the LE ... I'm not sure what prop you're missing but I assume you're not seeing any of the vehicles? At a glance, the lot looks OK to me ... but then, only downloaded the Honda dealership and I didn't hover query every single prop so I may be missing something.



I'd like to help but I'm not sure exactly what you're missing.

First of all, thanks for the compliment on my farmproppack. Hope you know that I am not competing with you nor anyone else with my farmprops, it's just that I realized that modern farm props were either present in very small amounts or just non-existing in SC4. Glad you like the corncobdryer.

Now to the download, I realize that I had a serious problem with that download, because I did NOT see any carprops nor buildings from that download.
see below:




But when I saw the picture of your plugins, I remembered that I don't have the same gamesetup as most do and that those freaking BSC installers (that I personally hate so much because they install those files everywhere except in the right place for me) can be a real pain in the "somewhere in the backwoods".
I usually download everything to a certain folder in MyDocuments and then unzip everything to the desktop, choose the files I want and need and delete the rest.
In this case the installer extracted only one file and extracted the other two to the MyDoc/SC4/Plugins folder, which I didn't realize they were there.
In this MyDoc/SC4/Plugins folder usually go all the readmes and pictures and I never bother looking there, but only once in awhile go there to delete everything without really looking what's in there.
So, now that you showed the picture, I went to the MyDoc/SC4/Plugins folder, had alook around and what do you know.....I found the BSC folder filled with dozens of other files and those specific two needed for the Honda dealership lot to show up with all its props. Damit, Why didn't I think of that.....lol.

Thanks for showing that picture of your pluginsfolder, otherwise it would have taken me awhile to find out what's wrong and would have probably caused a headache or 2. Something like that happened to me before in the last years with other uploads and I never thought of checking there, but I just deleted the *no-use* files and never bothered to ask for the "missing Props" for the download anywhere. In this case though I needed them badly for my MD.

Btw, my game is on F/:Drive entirely, including the Pluginfolder. That is why I extract the winzips to the desktop and usually (99% of the time) everything is extracted to there, except some rare files, such as these (BSC)...lol.

Thanks Jim for having opened my eyes on this.  I owe you. If there's a farmprop you would like, let me know.
