Help - SNM dependencies

[Nich]

Hi people.

Before I start, I would like to say that I don't know how to write in English very well. Sorry, forgive me some mistakes.

Well, I have all of SNM bats - thank you SNM team -, but two bats among them doesn't work.

Yes, I have boxes in SNM Washrack and SNM Small Power Station.

So, if others bats works perfect, I thought that a problem could be some specific dependence, because I already check the dependencies twice.
I have a big box in my Small Power Station.

Look my Washrack:

Is missing something...

Look the picture in readme:

So, if somebody knows what dependencie is missing, or can suggest any dependencie that could be missing, I will be thankfull. 
Thank you

The full list of current dependencies for the above lot is:
BSC MEGA Props - SG Vol 01
BSC Mega Props - JES Vol08
BSC MEGA Props - DAE Vol01
BSC MEGA Props - Misc Vol02
BSC MEGA Props - JES Vol01
BSCBATProps RT SNM Vol02
BSC MEGA Props - NewmanInc Vol01
BSC_TexturePack_Cycledogg_V 01

Thank you very much, BarbyW!!!!
Now, both are working very well.
How I was thinking, the problem was a specific dependence.

BSC Mega Props - JES Vol08 isn't in readmes (small power station and Washrack).

After install this... only happiness.

Thank you!!!

I recently downloaded and installed all the SNM army lots, and I'm having problems with the following:

SNM Base Washracks
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=319

SNM Small Power Supply
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=320

SNM MAAM Parks BSC
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1153

I hope that someone can help with this, and perhaps this might help others in the future....

I installed the dependencies listed in the washracks readme file - quite a list:

# BSC Mega Texture Pack
Listed as
http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=12646
but found at
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=90
as per the Dependencies List
(assuming that BSC Mega Texture Pack is BSC Textures MEGA Pack)

# Kleine Mietshaeuser Pack

# BSCBATProps RT SNM Vehicles Vol01

# PEG_MTP_RESOURCE_vol1
http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14025

All that just for the washracks (and just to be thorough, I've also installed the dependencies of the dependencies).  Then there's the power station:

# SNM  Essentials
# BSC Mega Texture Pack
# Kleine Mietshaeuser Pack
# Larger High School
# DEDWD IHT Pharmaceuticals
# SNM Support Files
# BSCBATProps RT SNM Vol01

# CSX MEGA Props - Vol04
# BSC_Flag_Pack_1
# PEG_MTP_RESOURCE_vol1

Phew, got all that except SNM  Essentials, "to be included in the Support Files."  Ok, then.  Whatever.

Right, then, SNM MAAM Parks BSC, dependencies as listed at
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1153

# BSC Essentials
I had that, of course:
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=443

# BSCBATProps RT MAAM Vol01
which presumably refers to
BSCBATProps RT SNM MAAM
found at
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1152

# BSC MEGA Props - Misc Vol01
yup, been there, done that....

# BSC MEGA Props - D66 Vol01
found at
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=396

# BSC MEGA Props - D66 Vol02
found at
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=556

# BSC_ParkFeatures
This took some finding, but I think this should suffice:
http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=4039

# BSC_Park_Textures
No clues given, but I'm guessing that it's now in one of the bigger texture packs?

# BSC Textures Vol 01
Yeah, yeah, yeah....

Now, I'm not complaining - really, I'm not.  I appreciate all the work that goes into this stuff, and I understand that these files get updated and moved over time.  I have had very few problems with downloads from this site, which seems to be by far the best for SC4 downloads.

Still.... with all the bad links in the readme files, the ambiguous names given for files, and the references to obsolete files, some of these downloads are now, frankly, pigs, and barely worth the effort involved even if they worked, IMHO.

These don't work.

Washrack:


Power Station:


Parks:


On entering the city, I am greeted with the following:

Warning: The city you are loading refers to the following plugin packs which aren't available on your machine.  You can continue the game in the absence of these packs, but, some of the graphics and other information may be incorrect.

Plugin pack -1855896079

Well, I tried Googling some of that, but it didn't get me anywhere....

And it seems I'm not alone:

GAH!  The Corps of Engineers are at their wits end.  Their vehicles are filthy, and they're having to work by candlelight.  Yesterday, Major Fukup shot himself.

After putting so much effort into this, I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of the missing dependencies.... maybe even update the readme files?  I'm sure others would appreciate it too.

TIA

So I have to stop doing new stuff to sort this out. I have not got the time to redo all the Readmes but will post here a full list of all up to date dependencies. As you can see I have already posted the list for the washracks. The list that you give for the washracks is actually the FULL list of dependencies for all SNM Army lots.

[TheMadBaron]

Well, the list that I gave for the washracks is the list given for the washracks. :p

In fact, you've already solved my problem by moving my post here (I presume it was you, BarbyW).... I hadn't seen this thread.  Like Nich, I'd yet to download  BSC Mega Props - JES Vol08 (it isn't listed as a dependency).  I have now done so, and I am pleased to report that the lights are on, the humvees are being washed, and Major Fukup is expected to make a full recovery in time for his execution.

Many thanks for your help.  I'll drop a few comments here and there, which will hopefully prevent others from having the same problem.  So feel free to go do new stuff.

[BarbyW]

Unfortunately the washracks Readme was missing a sentence that appears in most of the others:

This list covers all lots in the initial series.

BSC Mega Props - JES Vol08 wasn't listed as a dependency as it did not exist when the lots were made. Last year, when we were compiling the DVD jestarr combined some of his props including the ones for the washracks into a new pack. Previously they had been in the Support Files.
