Getting the Palacio Cristalino

[Lach77]

Hey everyone I have all the requirements for this http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=444 but the BLS centre for floral arts  (which I have in the city) isn't showing up as completed for the Palacio Cristalino reward.

Does anyone have any advice as how to get the reward to recognise that all the requirements are completed?

Thanks

  The BLS center is a reward lot ... I wonder if it showing up as a financial cost in the budget window? There may also be a time period ( like several months ) before the BSC Reward System sees it and counts it as completed. I've never tried to get the Palacio reward ... so I'm not much help, unfortunately.

Also, the Palacio has very steep requirements. Such as 100% mayor rating. Are you sure you're at 100 ... maybe 99.5% ??

Hey thanks for the help. The BLS centre for floral arts doesnt seem to have a financial cost, at least it doesn't, I rebuilt it and there was no change to my budget income. I did leave the speed on high for a while to see if the reward would appear but that isn't the case.

As far as mayor rating goes my city is at 101%. When I move my mouse cursor over the Palacio in the rewards list it is greyed out but it does list the requirements. Every requirement is recognised as 'ok' except the BLS centre for floral arts which I have built.

There is indeed a syntax error in the reward LUA.  I guess you're the first person in 6 years to get it

Namely, the line:

Code Select Expand

CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].PLOP[1] = { id =tonumber "b1a05e4f,16" , n = 1  , text = "BLS Centre for Floral Arts" }


Needs to read:

Code Select Expand

CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].PLOP[1] = { id =tonumber ("0xb1a05e4f",16) , n = 1  , text = "BLS Centre for Floral Arts" }


You can change that line in CdS_PalacioCristal_9157bb70.SC4Lot or use the attached file as a patch.  Make sure it loads after the original.  Note:  The file only includes the LUA, you will get nothing if you use only this file.

As far as testing to see what else might be going on, you can open these files in Reader and check out the LUA.  Conditions start with:

Code Select Expand

NAMEOFREWARD.CONDITION[0]
and would be commented out with "--", as in:

Code Select Expand

--NAMEOFREWARD.CONDITION[0]

In this case, just be sure to click the "Apply" button, which appears after clicking "Edit", as well as saving the file.

Edit:  So, if you still can't plop the lot, do something like this:

Code Select Expand


--CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].CITYR = 50
--CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].MAYRAT = 100
--CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].NBRP = 20
--CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].EQ = 100

--Lowkee33 Edit: Fixed syntax error in following line:
--CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].PLOP[1] = { id =tonumber "0xb1a05e4f,16" , n = 1  , text = "BLS Centre for Floral Arts" }

--CDSPALACIO.CONDITION[0].PLOP[1] = { id =tonumber ("0xb1a05e4f",16) , n = 1  , text = "BLS Centre for Floral Arts" }
--End Lowkee33 Edit.


Hopefully it will plop, so start uncommenting things until it stops working.  Good luck

Edit #2:  No Cheating!

Judging by my quote last post, I may have attached a file that sets the required population to 50.

Please find a corrected attachment in that post.  Sorry about that

Hey thanks for the help! I got it working 

Ummm but i'm not sure about the non-cheating part though. I may have to rework the flower garden requirements. See I want this in my main city to grace the parkland adjacent to the cbd but this zone doesn't have any farmland and it seems I can't get any to develop now. It must be from the education or wealth level that is stopping farms from developing. You have any advice in growing farms in a already developed city?

Thanks

I've showed you how to remove/change the requirements for a reward, do what you will.

It could be education and/or wealth level.

Once your city reaches a certain total population (Res + Com + Non-IR Ind) you won't be able to grow IR anymore.  Not sure about Vanilla, but if you use CAM, this amount is 30,000.  You can get it up to 60,000 if you use the [utl=http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1831]Census Repository[/url], but after that you're out of luck.

I suspect that your city is wealthy and educated if it satisfies the requirements for the Palacio Cristalino reward. Generally speaking, R$ Sims love to work on farms, CS$, and Dirt industry. R$$ and R$$$ prefer manufacturing and office work. Demand for farms drops off accordingly. So it's best to grow the farms first, then improve the city when you're happy with the Sim countryside.

yeah I did try bulldozing all my education buildings and raising Residential $$$ taxes to the maximum but it still created no demand for farms so it must be the population. So to edit the requirements for the reward (I used the patch before) do I just open the file in Windows notepad and delete the BSC Centre for Floral Arts requirement or change it to 0? And do I need to do that for both the original file and the patch?

Thanks again for your help!

I just want to say again that the first file I posted was bad, and you should get the one that is there now.

The original file is CdS_PalacioCristal_9157bb70.SC4Lot and installs to My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\BSC\Ripptide\CdS.  Just put the patch in that folder and you'll be all set.

If you want to get fancy and edit the original file then you will need Ilive's Reader.

Great thankyou very much for your help! Now I can plop this magnificent specimen in my capital zone. I had a few issues getting the reader open to edit the file but I got there in the end
