Can someone identify the plugin for the icons below?   They are acting finicky and I can't match them to the appropriate plugin folder.



Thanks

catty


They are RTMT icons, if you visit our support thread here  http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=5651.0  and explain what the problem is, we should be able to help

If you would be so kind, all I need it to identify the specific zip file or plugin folder name.   That piece of info would be really great help.

Here is the thing;

There are a number of "RTMT" folders and files, including "RTMT Interim T-RAM Stations8.zip" and "RTMTV350.zip".  As well, and in gerneral, "RTMT" is a synonym for "GLR".  [Road Top Mass Transit]=[Ground Light Rail]. There are, of course, even more files and folders that fit the general term "GLR".  Just as well, given the general nature of the GLR/RTMT term, the supporting files may well be identified by "ITS" as in "ITSGLR2", [GLR]=[I Train Station]. (I haven't yet determined what the "I" stands for.) 

In total, I have no fewer than 16 plugin folders and 16 associated zip files. There may be more  that do not include any of the multiple acronyms, I can't be sure but given that many things like the "WalfordEast" don't include an acronym that would indicated it to be a subway item, I have to assume that there may be TRAM/T-RAM/GLR/ITS items that are by name only. And, I can probably eliminate things like the ITSMoor and ITSFenchurch as they are single item plugins. I know I can eliminate Cogeo's GLR Staions and Hubs as the included pictures are clearly not the items I am after. 

I might infer, given the suggested forum, that the specific plugin is the "RTMTV3". Unfortunately, I previously eliminated that as the plugin in question has a set of six items while the RTMTV3 is like a gazzillion items.  (gazzillion = "more than the number of items I can hold in short term memory"  The average is 7 for an individual, ranging from 5 to 9 depending.) 

So you see my predicament.  I could do a process of eliimination, simply removing all candidates and reinstalling them.  And, as a last resort, I will do so. 

But, if you would be so kind and identify the specific zip file or plugin folder name, it will be a great help.

Thanks again.

for clarity Tram = GLR (In most Euro countries GLR is referred to as Tram, hence the name) however RTMT is *not* equal to GLR

RTMT is a collection of MT stations you can plop over existing networks, like the Maxis monorail station but for bus, GLR, etc. (as opposed to plopping them besides the network like the Maxis bus stop and train station).
1. Install SC4+RH
2. Install LEX (CD&DVD helps) and latest NAM + updates
3. Play the game
4. ? ? ? ?
5. Profit!

They are from the RTMT Interim T-RAM Stations found here

http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1986

QuoteThe package contains a total of six stations: a bus station, a tram station, and a combination bus and tram station; these three stations are present in forms for both tram-in-road and tram-on-road.

Please note that the RTMT team is only responsible for RTMT V3, RTMT Add-On Pack V3.60, RTMT Interim T-RAM and the RTMT GLR Transitions packs, see daeley's answer re GLR as to the other plugins you have mentioned, I am unable to help as these are not RTMT plugins.

you seemed to think that RTMT = GLR, which isn't true. I simply tried to explain the difference in, what I believe, was a fairly polite message.

What is polite is answering the question asked, not trying to prove to yourself how smart you think you are by pointing out some useless technical definition.  As well, if you really want to get into it, I can prove to you that GLR, T-RAM, TRAM, ITS, and RTMT are associated through numerous files.  As far as I'm concerned, being that GLR is a subset of a larger set called RTMT, then they are equivalent in my search for the issue at hand.  I really don't care, at this particular time, that GLR is only a subset.  And I'm not particularly interested in getting into a discussion of fuzzy logic, set theory, search theory, or the psychology of people that respond to a question with completely useless information that doesn't answer the specific question.  As far as I'm concerned, your simply looking for an opportunity to demonstrate how smart you are by regurgitating information that has no bearing on the point at hand.

Absolutely nothing "polite" about it.  When someone asks for directions to the library, I don't give them instructions on how to drive their car, I simply give them directions.  That is polite.  It is polite because it addresses their need directly and with the least distraction and waste of time.

Here's a point, the judgment of whether it was "polite" or not would be by my judgment, not yours.  It's like telling a joke and no one else is laughing but you.  If no one else is laughing, it's not funny.  The determination of funny or, in this case, polite is under the jurisdiction of the recipient, not the presenter. 

Your response, to provide your technical definition of RTMT vs GLR was all about you, what you need, what you want, and how you feel.  It had absolutely nothing to do with what I needed.  Grow up.

And you, by the way, are far worse.  Taking every opportunity to make yourself feel bigger at someone elses expense.  You also need to grow up.

daeley's clarification of the terms RTMT and GLR is relevant to the topic, and I see no "ego" emanating from his explanation, but rather, goodwill.  Personal attacks of this nature are not tolerated here at SC4 Devotion.
