Title: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: RippleJet on April 02, 2007, 01:40:14 PM
Background, Building Families, Parent Cohorts and Lists of Buildings
by RippleJet

Credit goes to all people mentioned in this thread; RalphaelNinja, SimGoober, Andreas Roth, Jeronij and DarkMatter.
I appreciate all comments, corrections, additions and updates to the guidelines and lists below.
Note! There is nothing to be ashamed of if you find your own buildings among those listed here.
After all, those blank RCI lots are still available for download at STEX...

EDIT 2008/01/03:

xxdita made a Cleanitol txt file listing all files containing landmarks that grow on empty lots.
That file is attached to this post for easy removal of all these troublesome lots.

A big thank you, xxdita! &apls




EDIT 2008/02/10:

A number of Japanese lots by NOB have been added.
They are listed showing their Japanese names in the tables below.

However, if you do not have a Japanese version of the game, you will not see those names in the game.
Instead, the title bar will be blank, as shown in the post by SC4BOY here:

Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: RippleJet on April 02, 2007, 01:40:29 PM
1. Background

Anyone who has downloaded landmarks with jobs (also called functional landmarks, ploppable RCI's or ploppables with jobs) from STEX or any Japanese site has probably occasionally noted that they might be growing on empty (usually smaller) lots.

Whenever such a landmark starts growing you will hear the familiar sound of a landmark being plopped. The lot will function in game, providing jobs and looks good when you query it. However, empty lots will not improve your skyline...

It is also important to notice that a landmark growing on an empty lot retains whatever monthly cost that was given to it. Since a landmark usually is associated with a rather high monthly cost, you might quickly drain you city budget unless you bulldoze such empty lots.

This behaviour with landmarks growing on empty lots stems back to the release of RalphaelNinja's Plopable RCI Blank Lot Set in august 2003. A short history for those interested follows:





   01/10/2003:   SimCity 4 was released
   06/27/2003:   The Lot Editor was released
   07/03/2003:   SimCity 4 Buildings as Props released (bldgprop_vol1.dat)
   08/19/2003:   RCI Blank Lot Set by RalphaelNinja (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21329) (Do not download or use it. Link given only for reference)
   08/20/2003:   -- Plopable RCI Blank Lot Set -- Released! by RalphaelNinja (deleted thread at ST about the RCI Blank Lots)
   09/18/2003:   Plopable Growable Blank Lots - Coming Soon! by RalphaelNinja (deleted thread at ST about first signs of growing blank lots)
   09/22/2003:   Rush Hour was released
   11/11/2003:   Rush Hour Buildings as Props released (bldgprop_vol2.dat)
   02/04/2004:   B.A.T. and Plug-In Manager were released
   05/31/2004:   SimGoober's first release of his "Tutorial - Converting a Landmark to a Plop with Jobs", latest version: Making a Functional Landmark Lot (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=140&threadid=76236&enterthread=y)




With RalphaelNinja's Plopable RCI Blank Lots, modders were for the first time able to make ploppable landmarks with jobs. Every object on those lots had to be a prop, not a building. The release of all Maxis Buildings as Props made it possible to include them as props in the lots. A wide variety of RCI Ploppables started to appear on the STEX. Soon it was also realized that they might be growing, albeit on empty lots. At first this was thought of being a break-through and a way to make lots that were both growable and ploppable.
With the release of the Plug-In Manager, modders finally learnt how to correctly make independent growable buildings (that were not part of in-game families) and through that eventually also how to correctly make ploppable buildings with jobs. However, several BATters and modders continued to use the old blank lots, even with BATted buildings, which were converted into props with the Plug-In Manager. Despite SimGoober's tutorial, buildings are still every now and then released on the STEX based on RalphaelNinja's ploppable blank RCI lots. And several old, very beautyful creations from 2003 and 2004 are still downloaded over and over again.

The forums over at Simtropolis are full of questions relating to these empty lots. This thread is aimed at being a central place to get answers, guidelines and solutions relating to these lots. Correcting these lots will require a little modding. If you are refraining from modding, you always have the option of deleting those landmarks that grow on empty lots.

In order to delete growing landmarks, you first need to find out which file to delete. This is where the lists in sections 4-15 further down come handy. Once you have identified the container file, you should first delete all instances of empty lots with that landmark in your cities. Exit SimCity and locate your file (use Window's search function if your plugins folder is a mess). If you can live without the landmark, you can safely delete the corresponding .SC4Lots file. I do not recommend deleting a .DAT file though, since they might contain more information than just for the landmark (such as actual growing lots that have already grown in your city).

If you want to keep the landmark, you need to edit its Building Exemplar using either SC4Tool (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/files.php?cat=34) or, preferably, iLive's Reader (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=656). You should also read through everything in these guidelines, starting with section 2, explaining properties called Building/prop Family and Parent Cohort, which are the essential part in correcting growing empty lots. After knowing what a Building Family is, you should move on to section 3, with detailed instructions on how to correct these landmarks. The landmark's Building Exemplar is in a container file, which is the actual file name seen in directory listings of Windows. To find this container file, jump directly to the lists in sections 5-19. You may also perform a search (Ctrl-F) on this page for the building you've had growing on an empty lot.

2. Building Family, Parent Cohort and related properties

The following description was given by Andreas Roth (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=41&threadid=83033&highlight_key=y&keyword1=parent%20cohort#951507):

Quote from: Andreas RothA cohort file serves basically as a template for several lots. The structure is the same as the building exemplar file (where you find the Parent Cohort). Maxis used cohorts to define the general properties for a set of lots (eg. all small homes, or stage 8 skyscrapers on 3x4 lots), and the exemplar files only hold the values that are different for each building - everything else, such as pollution values etc. is read from the cohort file that is linked via the Parent Cohort. Now when you make custom buildings, the Plugin Manager generates a full set of properties in the exemplar file, so a cohort file isn't necessary (unless a modder makes one especially for this purpose).

When the BAT and the Plugin Manager were released, a lot of BATters used the "Ploppable RCI Blank Lots" created by RalphaelNinja. Those were derived from in-game lots, but without buildings and props on it.

Unfortunately, nobody was aware of the function of the Parent Cohort ID back then, and since it wasn't set to zero, the game thought those were other versions of the in-game growable lots. Thus, these were growing in the game - without anything on it, because the buildings etc. were removed, as I described above.

Any property that is given within the Parent Cohort file is inherited by every exemplar that references it. The most important property is the Building/prop Family, which makes the building part of an in-game family. Whenever the game decides to build something belonging to a Building Family, it would randomly select any buildings it finds within the family. Thus it might select the ploppable building to grow. However, since it is growing on an in-game lot, none of the props (including the building) that are on the ploppable lot will be showing.

As a conclusion, the following four factors identify a building exemplar which might grow on empty lots:
   1. The property Building/prop Family is present, either directly or referred to by a Parent Cohort ID
   2. The property Resource Key Type # is non-existent (this makes the building exemplar empty, no building)
   3. The property OccupantGroups contains at least Building: Landmark (this makes it appear in the landmarks menu)
   4. The property Capacity Satisfied contains at least one setting (this is the property giving the landmark jobs)

Since growable buildings are satisfying capacity, they simple wouldn't grow if they were not offering any jobs.

For some reason only buildings with the OccupantGroups set to (at least) Landmark seem to be growing on empty lots. As far as I know this was the reason all CSX buildings were made to appear on the Rewards menu instead of the Landmarks menu.

There are in fact several landmarks with jobs available at STEX with a Parent Cohort setting other than zero, but which also include a BATted building model addressed by Resource Key Type 1. Whether these buildings would actually grow in game based on their building family association has to my knowledge not been proved.

The Building/prop Family should be removed and the Parent Cohort should be set to zero (0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000) for all custom buildings, both growables and especially for landmarks. The ONLY exception to this rule is if you want to make growable building families (like those included in the game). For those interested I recommend reading Jeronij's tutorial Creating your own prop Families (Extended version) (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=211.0) and DarkMatter's tutorial Making Custom Building Families (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=41&threadid=52241&highlight_key=y&keyword1=datgen#335515) in his Official DatGen Help.

Note also, that there might be other properties that are inherited from the Parent Cohort file, which are lost if the Parent Cohort is reset and the Building/prop Family deleted. Two such properties, that are required for the landmark to function, are the Exemplar Type and the Purpose. More about these further down.

If you are planning on making landmarks with jobs, you MUST read SimGoober's tutorial, Making a Functional Landmark Lot (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=140&threadid=76236&enterthread=y).

3. How to remove a landmark's Building Family association

There are two ways of keeping ploppable landmarks from growing. Either delete them or correct their Building Family association.

The only thing needed to be corrected in order not to have landmarks grow on empty lots, is to delete the Building/prop Family and change the Parent Cohort of the landmark's Building Exemplar to zero. This will cut off the building's association with the in-game building family. This can be done both with SC4Tool (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/files.php?cat=34) and iLive's Reader (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=656). However, you may also have to add two missing properties, and for this you would need to use the Reader.

First you need to find the "container file" to correct. This is (usually) a .SC4Lot file or (rarely) a .DAT file.

If the landmark you wish to correct has already grown in your city, you may query it and get the normal query window for the landmark. Normally this would immediately tell you which building it is, and help you in locating the container file. However, in order to further help you I have compiled tables with a few of those ploppable commercial office buildings (sections 5-7), ploppable commercial service buildings (sections 8-12), ploppable industrial buildings (sections 13-16) and ploppable residential buildings (sections 17-19) known to grow on empty lots.

Any ploppable residential buildings should always be deleted from the plugins folders, since they do not function.

If the empty lot gives a strange name in the query, eg. "Blank_CS$$", and thus giving no idea of which building it is supposed to be, and if you cannot find it in the tables below (with correct number of workers), there is one more thing you could do to identify it. Since the empty lot always contains an (empty) building that is a landmark, you will also every time be able to find a menu item with the same name in the landmarks menu. This icon will at least give you a small picture of the landmark you want to delete or correct.

Growing empty lots with one of the following names might also appear if RalphaelNinja's file Plugin_RCI_Blank_Lot_Set.dat is left in the plugins folder:


   Blank_CO$$$   
(1455 jobs)
   Blank_CO$$   
(6798 jobs)
   Blank_CS$$$   
(171 jobs)
   Blank_CS$$   
(552 jobs)
   Blank_CS$   
(173 jobs)
   Blank_HT   
(94 jobs)
   Blank_IM   
(57 jobs)
   Blank_ID   
(158 jobs)
   Blank_IR   
(13 jobs)
   Blank_R$$$   
(2572 residents)
   Blank_R$$   
(4603 residents)
   Blank_R$   
(2872 residents)

If you have the file Plugin_RCI_Blank_Lot_Set.dat in either of your plugins folder, delete it right away! You will never, ever need that file!

The picture below shows an example of The Lucky Shmails Casino & Hotel (or actually four instances of it).
   The two lots at "A" show two instances of the landmark under construction.
   The lot at "B" shows one instance of the landmark that has already grown.
   The lot at "C" shows the plopped landmark, a large lot of 8×14 tiles (compared to the 4×6 for the growing ones).

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg241.imageshack.us%2Fimg241%2F5797%2Ftheluckyshmailsrm0.jpg&hash=278ea04cbe976a933cbd05a259ff0fa50b65f453)

The query is for the plopped landmark, but is identical for all four lots (only that the number of workers will be 0/400 for the growing ones).

Zooming in on the readily built empty lot, we see what is always seen on these; props. These props belong to prop families and will be randomly selected every time a lot is built. They do exist on all in-game lots and have nothing to do with the missing landmark building, so querying the props will not help you identify the landmark. In order to query the building, you need to click on an empty spot of the lot.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg241.imageshack.us%2Fimg241%2F8048%2Ftheluckyshmailspropsqv0.jpg&hash=9e0b5e56029dfb81666a8bc30632012e0f074d11)

Once you have identified the container file, you should first delete all instances of that landmark's empty lots in your cities. Exit SimCity and locate your file (use Window's search function if your plugins folder is a mess). If you can live without the landmark, you can safely delete the corresponding .SC4Lots file. I do not recommend deleting a .DAT file though, since they might contain more information than just for the landmark. If you have the slightest hesitation about modding, I would recommend that you delete the file. If you want to keep the landmark, you need to edit the container file either in SC4Tool or, preferably, in Reader.

SC4Tool can be used to remove the association from a landmark with a building family. However, if certain properties are missing, this will also cause the landmark to disappear from the menu. The picture below shows the appearance of SC4Tool after the container file "The Lucky Shmails Casino & Hotel_acb30692.SC4Lot" has been opened in SC4Tool's Exemplar Editor. The container file for each landmark normally contains two "Exemplar Files", one for the lot and one for the building. In other words, if you open up the list of buildings, you should see only one (The Lucky Shmails Casino & Hotel).
The first property in that building exemplar is the Parent Cohort, which has to be zeroed. Double-click each of the three fields on top and change each value into 0x00000000. After that you need to select the property Building/prop Family, and choose Delete from the menun called Property on top. Save your lot and exit SC4Tool.

In Reader the container file "The Lucky Shmails Casino & Hotel_acb30692.SC4Lot" looks like in the picture below. You need to locate the building exemplar file among the entries in the middle. Clicking on the exemplar file, lists all properties in the window to the right. The first one is the Parent Cohort and double-clicking it will allow you to set them all to zeroes. After that, right-click on the property Building/prop Family and select Delete property. Save your lot and exit Reader.

4. How to add missing properties

Removing the building's family association will also cause it to remove any properties that it inherited from its parent cohort. All ploppable landmarks that are made based on RalphaelNinja's Ploppable RCI Blank Lots will be missing two required properties. Only a few lots have these properties added by its creator, in which case the following guidelines may be skipped.

The properties that need to be added are Exemplar Type and Purpose.

The value of Exemplar Type has to be set to "Building" (numerical value 2), which is required for the game to recognize the building exemplar as a building. Without it the lot will not appear on the landmarks menu at all.

The value of Purpose is required for the game to know what kind of building it is. If it is missing, the ploppable lot will not be functional, since the number of jobs would be 0. The value has to been set correctly, depending on the type of building:


   1  
R
  Residential
   2  
CS
 Commercial Service
   3  
CO
 Commercial Office
   5  
I-R
 Agriculture
   6  
I-D
 Processing
   7  
I-M
 Manufacturing
   8  
I-HT
 High Tech

First of all you need to see if these properties are missing. The Exemplar Type would be the second property, immediately after the Parent Cohort and before the Exemplar Name. The Purpose would appear a little further down, after the property Wealth and before the property Capacity Satisfied.

For adding the missing properties, I recommend using Reader. For the examples below I am still using The Lucky Shmails Casino & Hotel. In order to add a property, you need to right-click anywhere among the existing properties on the right and select Add Property. The following window will open up:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg129.imageshack.us%2Fimg129%2F3531%2Fluckysmailsaddexemplartep0.jpg&hash=e2b21695a6687fe0eb83024a9f31b491306ab7ab)

Scroll down among the names of properties till you find the Exemplar Type and click on it. Enter the value 2 in the bottom field (Values as text) and click the Apply button to the right of it. Finish by clicking the bottom-most Apply button.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg129.imageshack.us%2Fimg129%2F8930%2Fluckysmailsaddexemplartec4.jpg&hash=8cb644921dfe94ea54595c1805975c8df46a4749)

In order to add the Purpose property, right-click once again among the existing properties, select Add Property and scroll down among the names of properties till you find Purpose:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg129.imageshack.us%2Fimg129%2F6407%2Fluckysmailsaddpurposezn3.jpg&hash=4818cdc385b07f76d3ced22357c5ff658444339d)

Now you have to give the Purpose its correct value. In order to determine what kind of a building it is, take a look at the property Capacity Satisfied as indicated with the red arrow below. In the example below we can easily determine that the building is a Commercial Office (CO). Checking the Purpose values (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=907#msg24166) above reveals that the numerical value for CO is 3. Thus, enter this value (3) into the bottom field (Values as text) and click the Apply button to the right of it. Finish by clicking the bottom-most Apply button.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg384.imageshack.us%2Fimg384%2F3372%2Fluckysmailsaddpurpose0xjp7.jpg&hash=140ea36ec374d5b860e3922718ae2caacbf03a6c)

After this you need to save your lot and exit Reader. Test it in game to see that it appears in the landmarks menu, and that after plopping it, it does offer jobs to your sims.

The guidelines above may also be used in a preemptive manner. If you locate landmarks from the lists below which you know you have downloaded, you should delete or edit all those container files associated with landmarks that might grow on empty lots.

The Building Exemplar Name is what you would see when querying an empty lot. Since ploppable residential buildings are not functional, this list could be referred to as files that may as well be deleted (unless they are .DAT files). If the file has been corrected and uploaded though, I recommend redownloading it through the link given.

19. Ploppable R$, that might grow on empty lots

The Building Exemplar Name is what you would see when querying an empty lot. Since ploppable residential buildings are not functional, this list could be referred to as files that may as well be deleted (unless they are .DAT files). If the file has been corrected and uploaded though, I recommend redownloading it through the link given.

With all my experimenting and readings.  I had heard RaphealNinja's blank lots were bad things, but I never knew why.  Now that I see this list you have compiled, I have noticed a few lots that in the past for me have grown as "blank lots" and I never knew why, no I do.  Thank you!

And now I can fix it if I want to re-installed them.  Sweeeeet!!

Thank you, M!
I missed both the Hattori ClockMakers and the Mitsubishi Bank by APTX when setting up these lists.
They both have ParentCohort = 0x0,0x0,0x0, but instead they contain the property Building/prop Family!
And that applies to the Japanese versions at APTX's site as well as to the English ones at the STEX.
Both have been added. :thumbsup:

Yay people!!! Done while I slept! Was it a dream? *looks at first post* NO!! A file to save me lots of work!!

YAY!YAY!YAY!  &apls

edit: Hmmm.. ok I ran it and found 12 lots in my stuff. I'll take those out. I am concerned about the problem of destroying all before I take the files out to avoid crashes/unpredictable behaviour. That doesn't seem too tough as I only have about 12 cities that they can be in. HOWEVER.. I have a bit of a problem.. and tryiing to be helpful. I noticed some lots grow according to all the signs of this "landmark growth" problem, but when I click on the empty lot, I get a blank query. Since it is blank, I can't really identify the source can I?

Here is an example:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg138.imageshack.us%2Fimg138%2F5492%2Fblankgrow1kn2.jpg&hash=1f5e0c0407bc960d6f001b5b83cc6c6a0f03f503)

How do I test if these are files on the list or if this is a new problem file?

Oh.. and now I think on it.. what happens if I delete the files and have overlooked a lot in a city.. does it just crash? or does it exhibit other nasty behaviours?

Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: xxdita on January 04, 2008, 12:03:36 AM
One way to test is to run the Cleanitol, without demolishing that particular lot. If it is in there, then you will get the pesky Missing Plugin error as you reload the city. Worst case scenario is that it crashes your game shortly after, but since you were smart enough to Back Up the files this shouldn't be too big a problem, as you can replace them all, demolish the lot, then run the Cleanitol again.
Or you could cross-reference the info you do have with the list RippleJet provided on page one of this thread, though I'm not seeing any lot with 895 jobs. So it is possible that you've found an unlisted lot, now we just have to figure out what it is. Wou's already told you about the Extra Cheats dll, which would come in handy right about now, but there's always the old fashioned way, which would be to go ahead and go through all of your remaining Industrial (most likely IM) Ploppables, and matching up the lots themselves, based on lot size and props. Once you figure it out, we can double check it, then add it to the list.
The worst case scenario with deleting the files is a Crash To Desktop. But since you were of course smart enough to backup the files from Cleanitol, all you have to do is restore them, go back and demolish the lot in question, then run the Cleanitol again. The first sign of having forgotten a lot would of course be the pesky Missing Plugin Error message as your city opens up. Sometimes you can still demolish without restoring the files, without any damage. Other times the lot becomes undemolishable (although even then you can possibly plop a park in its place to get rid of it).
Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: SC4BOY on January 04, 2008, 04:55:01 AM
Well as it turns out, I have already deleted the lots in order to get on with things. The only thing I have left is the pic above plus this pic. Both are INDUSTRIAL lots and I don't see those in the list. This probably means that they may be "problem lots" that are not on the list.

The process of going through 4Gb of lots and a ton of menu entries (for an unrelated issue I did a quick scan of my parks menu alone and had well over 350 menu entries and that is with all MML's that I am aware of) I am not sure about a handy way for me to do that. I am fully aware tht I have some "un-named menu entries". In fact I have made pics of those and entered the names in a txt file that I keep of problems in order to TRY to track things that I thiink are dubious. I am rather new to the "custom lots" and historically use very few and very few mods.. but I'm playing with them a lot of recent .. I guess because they are "a  new toy" :)

What probably I will do as time permits is watch for empty lots, and then try to trace back to menu entries to isolate them as they come up.. sooner of later, I will get through them all.. hehe.. To bad some of the menu entries I have are either totally blank or in foreign languages.. not too useful in our persuit..  For FUTURE lots, I may see what I can do with the cheats dll if I don't find other problems with having it there.

Also I am not sure which of the ones removed with the purge are among those I have previously identified.. I'll have to chip away at that as I can. At any rate I'll keep folk updated with whatever info I have as I find it.. we'll piece the puzzle together eventually.

Here's another pic I have at hand.. Its a shame that you can't even tell what the lot size is..

PS: IN order to help FIND lots to EVEN LOOK AT.. is there a characteristic that I can use a windows search on or something like that so I could see a list of ONLY ploppable lots from my plugins folder?
Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: RippleJet on January 04, 2008, 05:04:52 AM
SC4BOY and xxdita, thanks for your efforts in here! :thumbsup:

Re-reading what you've said I just got a hinch... maybe those ID/IM lots with 895 and 498 jobs are Japanese...
(Industrial §§ are either Industrial Dirty or Industrial Manufacturing).

Some time back virtually every Japanese landmark was made using RalphaelNinja's functional empty lots...

If their names are Japanese they might appear empty in the title of the query, unless you've got the proper font installed.
One way of finding them in that case would be to check your Japanese industrial landmarks in SC4Tool and try to find those with occupancies 895 and 498.
Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: SC4BOY on January 04, 2008, 05:28:09 AM
I STRONGLY agree.. I didn't mention it, but for my early stuff, almost EVERY INDUSTRIAL AND PORT lots were Japanese.. So you probably are on the right track. I'm not a "tools" guy, but I may experiment with it.

Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: SC4BOY on February 09, 2008, 02:06:07 AM
OK sports fans!! Finally I got some spare time to track down those lots that were giving me problems long ago.

Here is the infamous 895 blank lot
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg227.imageshack.us%2Fimg227%2F8203%2Fgrowplop1qv5.jpg&hash=dd0fbc4472c2fac9cca46d1789d8dd170ae3de88)

And this is the link to it LNG Plant (http://tokitoko.hp.infoseek.co.jp/lot_others.htm)

And THIS is the evil 498 blank lot

Here is the set elements plopped.. I'm guessing that, although I have never seen them grow, that they ALSO are potential growable (empty) landmarks

Other elements plopped

This is the "download link" image (same site as linked above.. just a couple notches further down the page)

All of these come from the same download site, and represent sweet little harbor elements. If it would be possible, it would be nice if someone could edit these 2 KNOWN bad lots and take a look at the rest of the set (total of only 5 lots I think) and see if they also have the problem. I'd love to have the altered files and if they might be made available "corrected" to the public. I don't know what would be required for that. Perhaps MAS71 could act as an intermediary if there are reasons that this cannot be readily done. I actually use these lots pretty often as I think they are very nice.

I have given the links to the "bad lots" so that anyone interested could easily get their own file copies.. they are quite small downloads. These (at least the LNG set and the ships.. also available on the site and very nice) and are dependencies to the

My correcting would not help out others much..nor would it help future BAT'ers of all stripes to avoid the issue. Nor would it help bridge the Japanese-English bridge (which I think is approaching a great point in time now). Its the integrity of the lots that I'm interested in.. those are probably used by thousands of users..  Of course I do appreciate your concern for my SC4 enjoyment anyways.. ;)

Hi dear my brother Ripplejet san and friends who always giving lot of warm voices for me in my thread  :)
I didn't notice this thread by now.  &mmm
sorry to too late cooperation for them.

Well,
Only about Japanes Lots,
Does problem is "No display Lot's name in UD (and in icons too)" Can I understand it so ??
NOB san and some japanese using only Japanese-LTEXT for LOTs (for names).
so It could not display LOT's name for users whom not have JPN-character in PC.
Is it a cause ??

Ok,
I know well that NOB san having very busy day in RL more than me. ;D
so I will re-make a all LOTs with english name instead with him maybe.  ;)
But, It should need original creater's confirming at last.


What should(would) I do ??   ()what()
Can I help you something ??

If you have any idea or any my helps you think, please tell me then witout reserve  ;)


I hope to be your some helps.  ;D

In that case you should use the "X" Tool and recompute the properties of NOB's lots/buildings.
With the "X" Tool you can also make them multilingual, so that English names and descriptions would be shown to everyone not having a Japanese version of the game. :thumbsup:

This list is just getting longer and longer. Last March is when I first became aware of this situation thru RippleJets post about this problem and how to fix them. I slowly learned how to do it and have fixed a few myself but there are just too many and a lot of them are fantastic creations. I hope that somehow with the proper (state of the art) fix it tool that these can someday all be corrected. Thanks for all your great dedication to the game. :thumbsup:

I've taken some screenies of the Commercial Empty Growable Lots, along with the Maxis buildings the lots are based upon, to help with idenifying these lots.

It should also be noted that you can use the ExtraCheats.dll's Buildingplop cheat to check your plugins for any Empty Growables as well. Simply look through the plop list for a Blank_ lot.

That is however valid only if the user hasn't changed the Exemplar Name in the original Functional RCI building exemplar by RalphaelNinja.
Most landmarks growing on empty lots have actually been renamed, all in accordance with RalphaelNinja's Method to Change Names on your SC4Lots (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=35596).

Note however, that the information in that Omnibus tutorial contains broken links and outdated information.
For up-to-date information about naming lots, check Names and descriptions of buildings and props (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=552.0).

Ok, here are two that I have just recently ID'd.

They were both created by Altuditu.

LG Electronics -- http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18325
Shows up when it grows as: LG Electronics Ploppable

Benz Korea Hyosung Tower -- http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18307
Shows up when it grows as: CS$$$_Benz Korea tower

Sorry, don't have pictures of either from when they grew.

Anyways, just thought I would give the heads up about them.  I kinda wish they could be made into CAM buildings because both of them are really sweet.  Same with some of the other buildings by Altuditu (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&Keyword=altuditu&view=all). ;) *Hint, hint* :P

Good catch James. I'm working on creating stable CAMelots for as many of the Empty Growables as I can possibly get to, as long as the original model files are still available. I'm also looking at BriPizza's works. Will have an update on that as soon as time allows. Do you have file names for the Landmark versions, so that I can add them to the Cleanitol?

You know, Altuditu claims that the both buildings are really growable, but I have yet to have either of them grow myself, well, except as a blank lot. :P lol.  So, I don't know for 100% if it's the growable ones that grew that have the problem, or if it's the Plopable ones.  Didn't have time to do all the "testing" and I stupidly demo'ed each building once I copied over the name to a text file after they grew. &ops

Hello everyone, this is my first post in this forum, by recommendation from heblem, I headed here to find a solution to a problem I have with a building that I get a lot vacuum, which has the general information, but has no name, also is growable, which I further complicate the situation, because I do not have the landmark, only I have the image that gives me to click in the empty lot with the tool of interrogation, he passed his paper cleanitol which eliminates the buildings in empty lots, but this has not been possible to eliminate it, I am grateful if someone has happened with this building, I can help locate it, I leave for an image that is the only thing that I have for identification.

Have you downloaded any Japanese (or Korean) lots?
A landmark growing on an empty lot and not having a visible name, most probably is a Japanese one.

Since there is no Japanese §§§ building with 2,000 jobs in my lists, this is definitely a new one.
I hope you, or somebody else, would be able to identify which one it is.

if I downloaded from Raiko, and some pages that eastern unfortunately do not remember the name of those pages, I thought that might be of the Cerulean Tower that resembles and remove that building but is still Sal, is the only that I get well, and that the paper cleanitol that I could download eliminate several buildings grew in empty lots.

Obviously you have downloaded some landmarks that grow on empty lots from those sites...
It would help a lot if you could remember some addresses in order for us to be able to add them to these lists. ::)

Since the building you've had growing on an empty lot isn't listed previously,
and couldn't be found among the links you provided,
there isn't much else I can do to help you identify the erroneous lot for now.

Since the name of the building is missing, it's quite obvious it's a foreign lot,
having a name in an language your version of the game doesn't support.
Those languages would be Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Thai.

There is one way to identify what the building should look like though; locate the building in your landmarks menu.
Plop every building in the menu till you find the one that has an identical query to the one shown in your picture above.

Once you know which it is, take a picture and post it here.
That would hopefully lead to someone recognising it.

I return to annoy, it seems that I found the building that I get a vacuum, I did it with the editor lot, but now I have a problem is not that I find in the folder of plugins, that's why I come back, that it seems to me that This file is in the camelots commercial stage 8, that is what seems to me, but I leave the identity that gave me the lot editor.
0x60002a90 ... cs $ $ $ 8_2x3

0x60002a80 ... cs $ $ $ 8_3x2
0x60003330 ... cs $ $ $ 8_3x2
if I could indicate whether these files belong to the cam or not to have a better track to find it, or tells me as I use the cleanitol with this information because I did locate the document text, and what happens but I said that they are not, I appreciate the guidance.

Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: xxdita on May 21, 2008, 08:33:38 PM
Something else you can try while going though your Landmark menu, look for buildings that have the Item Description that reads Blank CO/CS. Often, the Item Description is unchanged.

If you have the extracheats.dll, you can use the buildingplop cheat to place any Blank lots you have as well. Since the buildings are actually on the lots as props, the Exemplar name is rarely changed, even if the name of the lot is. So these may show up as Blank CO in the list, which would certainly make it a lot easier to find.
Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: marros on May 21, 2008, 11:01:14 PM
this is another problem, the menu of the landmark, I do not see this building, and I do not understand what I say (extracheats.dll), is perhaps a program, or the translation gives me somewhat confusing I do not understand
Title: Re: Growing Empty Lots and How to Correct them
Post by: xxdita on May 22, 2008, 02:26:54 AM
Extracheats.dll is a file that when placed in your Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins folder, can help with many things in the game. The current link to the file is http://host.simvision.net/SC4ExtraCheats.zip

Once in game, hit Ctrl-X for the cheat box, then type buildingplop. This will open a new window. Look for "Blank CO" or "Blank CS".

Extracheats.dll es un archivo que cuando se pongan en su Archivos de programa \ Maxis \ SimCity 4 \ Plugins carpeta, le puede ayudar en muchas cosas en el juego. El actual vínculo con el archivo es http://host.simvision.net/SC4ExtraCheats.zip

Una vez en el juego, pulse Ctrl-X para la caja de trucos, a continuación, escriba buildingplop. Esto abrirá una nueva ventana. Puedes buscar "Blank CO" o "Blank CS".

hello, again, I will tell you that I have already done what I suggested, and install the extracheats, he did so "buildingplop, I opened a window and select Blanck cs, and I opened another window and the files that I appear before them had shown:
0x60002a90 ... cs $ $ $ 8_2x3
0x60003340 ... cs $ $ $ 8_2x3
0x60002a80 ... cs $ $ $ 8_3x2
0x60003330 ... cs $ $ $ 8_3x2
and I get precisely the empty lot, which is not like done to locate these files in the folder plugins, that may be compact, he wanted by Blanck, and it does appear to me, All I know is that these files downloaded from the page somy, but not that I do now after finding them with extracheats, which is a step forward?

0x60003330 ... cs $ $ $ 8_3x2

Those are ingame growable lots upon which building family 0x4000003B grows.
And that only confirms that it's a landmark growing on empty lots (these four lots)...

There should have been a landmark lot as well using that building though...
Since you obviously doesn't have it, the task might be even more difficult... &mmm

Seems like you only have the landmark's building exemplar, but not the landmark's lotconfig exemplar...
or then the lot isn't properly modded, and thus won't appear in the menu (or the cheat window).
And that would also explain why you couldn't find it in your landmarks menu...

The only remaining thing to do in that case would be to:
  1. Set up a new region, using the same plugins folders you currently have.
  2. Remove half your plugins.
  3. Start the game and see if that building still appears in the BuildingPlop cheat.
  4. If it still appears, exit the game and go back to step 2.
  5. If it's gone, exit the game, move back half of the plugins you removed last time and go back to step 3.
  6. Continue till you have located the file that contains the landmark growing on empty lots.

This is a rather long and tedious process.
If you manage to locate that file, I would love to take a look at it though! :thumbsup:

This building was also uploaded on the STEX as the Vetical Mall by baro (btower_4dc89a11.SC4Lot).
That one is also named Blank_CS$$$, but costs 200,000 and provides 5,789 CS§§§ jobs.

It does have a name (Blank_CS$$$) and it uses the ingame standard query...

I downloaded the cleanitol file, and opened it. It appears that all the buildings are ploppable, and I deleted all the ploppable files, because I don't want them. I did however download a file from Simtropolis long ago, and it enabled me to plop every building that Maxis made for SC4. When I didn't want the file anymore, I deleted it, but when I started the game, many buildings were blank lots. Maybe that's the problem.

Anyone who has downloaded landmarks with jobs (also called functional landmarks, ploppable RCI's or ploppables with jobs) from STEX or any Japanese site has probably occasionally noted that they might be growing on empty (usually smaller) lots.

0x60002a70

0x60002a90

0x60002a80

That would definitely be the building you are looking for.

The number 0x4f24b666 is the hexadecimal Instance ID of the building.
Try to search your entire plugins folder (and all subfolders) for a filename containing 4f24b666,
probably a filename ending in _4f24b666.SC4Lot

That number also tells me that the building exemplar (file) was created February 20th, 2005.

I've been lookion into Deadwoods sunke plazaz (for non-related reason) and found that they also have non 0x0000000 parent cohorts. I wonder what exactly does it mean? Are those custom cohorts that random plaza will appear as you plop it? Is there way to see it from the numbers?

There are a number of Cohort Files that Maxis made, e.g:
  - TGI 0x05342861, 0x07BDDF1C, 0x00000002 = Park Cohort
  - TGI 0x05342861, 0xCA386E22, 0x0A64ED55 = Landmark Cohort

A Parent Cohort is an exemplar that contains properties that are inherited by any exemplar referring to it,
Thus, those properties which are the same for e.g. all parks, won't have to be be given separately for each park.

If you edit one of the ingame parks, that Parent Cohort would still be left behind.
However, the Park Cohort doesn't contain any properties that would cause any problems.

The reason the RCI Cohorts cause problems is that they are made separately for each building family.
And each building family Parent Cohort contains the property Building/Prop Family.
That property is the culprit that causes all those old functional landmarks to grow as one of the buildings in that in-game family.

Some creators have also made custom Cohort Files, e.g. those that Thalassicus made for his airport lots.

And if you want to create prop families you should create a custom Parent Cohort for them.
If that Cohort Exemplar contains an Exemplar Name, that name will be seen in LE instead of the hexadecimal ID.

I write a message in UI of the "Keiou Plaza Hotel" too just in case. "$Deal"$
Quote from: Original Message by APTX西新宿高層ビル街にそびえる地上47階建の高層ビル。
新宿の高層ビル街で一番最初に立てられた高層ビルであり、現在も日本で最も高い高層ホテルである。
47階建ての本館に加え、34階建ての南館が加わり、全2棟客室数1500室の巨艦ホテルになっており、グレードの高さや立地のよさから国内外の旅行者に人気である。

Quote from: Easy Translated by AutoTranslation siteThis is a high-rise building of 47 stories to rise in the Nishishinjuku high-rise building street above the ground.
It is a high-rise building put up very first in a high-rise building street of Shinjuku, and it is the high-rise hotel which is the highest in Japan now.
As well as a main building of 47 stories, the south building of 34 stories increases and becomes the big warship Hotel of 1,500 all 2 guest rooms and is popular among domestic and foreign tourists from height of the grade and the good point of the geographical convenience.

Do you understand this result english ?? :P
One of main building(47 floor) and one of annex(South Building-34floor). It have about 1,500 rooms.
Please revice this message to correct English if you will use this UI(messages).


I hope this helps.  ;)
Thank you again for your hard works !!

If you're getting a brown box, then it's not an empty lot, but a missing model file. Check here for the Wisconsin Gas Building: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=457

The CO$$9_3x3_jes_WisconsinGasBldg_CO_9406ec0c.SC4Lot, which is included in CAM Commercial Offices BSC (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=950),
uses the model file jes_WisconsinGasBldg1-0x5ad0e817_0x532d2bc5_0x30000.SC4Model.

That is the same model file that all versions of Jestarr's Wisconsin Gas Buildings are using.
That model file is included in the LEX upload The Wisconsin Gas Building (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=457).

If you are getting a brown box, you are lacking the model file.
Can you please search your plugins for that model file:

Here's one I haven't seen before:

This is a lot growing which has all the charactistics of the "empty lot syndrome".. It is bordered by Ristorante Italiano, BSC Wilson Office Building, a road, and an avenue roundabout with a Colossus statue in the middle on all sides.. it looks like this:

Yes, please! :D

The query shown is for the CAMeLot Counter Small Park (a 3x3 park lot),
displaying the name "CAMeLot Counter Small Park".

The CAMeLot counter you've got is the Roundabout Counter (a 2x2 park lot),
which should display the name "CAMeLot Counter Roundabout Statue".

What query is shown if you click on the CAMeLot Counter within the roundabout?

None of the CAMeLot Counters have buildings extending over the edges,
and thus wouldn't be able to cause the Immortal Lot Syndrome...

That could also be verified if you're able to bulldoze both the empty lot and the CAMeLot counter.
What kind of zone has that empty lot grown on? Commercial?
Are there any people working in that lot? (try the commute query).

That empty lot looks "emptier" than any ingame lots I've seen growing with empty custom landmarks...
All ingame lots have at least some props, whereas this lot only has got textures.

The conclusion of all this would be that someone has made a custom growable lot from the CAMeLot Small Park... ???
Otherwise I can't understand how someone would have managed to use both the CAMeLot Counter query 0xF3590425,
and the UVNK for the CAMeLot Counter Small Park, 0x2026960B, 0x6A386D26, 0x939D9795.

But the problem is not the CAMeLot counter in the roundabout, is it?
Try to bulldoze it and query the empty lot again.

Then, plop the CAMeLot Counter Small Park elsewhere in your city and see what it looks like.
Use the cheat to enable it if you haven't been rewarded it yet.
I'm pretty sure it'll look the way it should, on a 3x3 lot.

The empty 2x3 lot did not come from the CAMeLot upload.
A park without jobs cannot grow as a landmark on an empty lot,
even if it would have the appropriate building family (which it doesn't).

None of this still says anything about why you've had the lot growing,
who made it and where it's downloaded from though... &Thk/(

I perhaps phrased that poorly.. I mean I dl'd the cam lots from LEX.. since I don't know what the mystery lot is, I don't know where it may have come from. Be a devilish thing to do if someone purposely made a "empty growable" with a camelot query.. hehe

Indeed! $%Grinno$%
If it's a publicly available lot, let's hope someone else would have it grow and help us track it down... %confuso

If you track it down yourself, I'd be very keen to know about it.
One thing to look for would be the property Query exemplar GUID with the value 0xF3590425.

One way of doing that would be to datpack each folder in your plugin separately.
Then search each datpacked file for a property containing that value (can be done in Reader).

Once found, and not being the CAMeLot Counters, you'd know which folder to look in.
Then check each individual file in that folder looking for the same Query exemplar GUID value of 0xF3590425.

There is a tutorial on the first page of this thread... ::)

For this one only one thing would need to be fixed:
- The property Building/prop Family (with value 0x4000003B) needs to be deleted.

Since the Parent Cohort is already set at 0,0,0 and the Exemplar Type is existent, those need no additional fixing.

It contains two growable residential lots and one static landmark.

RippleJet, I found three lots that might grow on empty lots. They are part of the Pegasus-CDK-Industrial package (PEG_CDK-IND_205.dat):

    Examplar name                       IID
PEG-CDK Industrial (IC)            0D72EF3E
PEG-CDK Industrial Waterfront   6D746A0D
PEG-CDK Industrial Port            8D78B669

These lots have the following cohort property:

ParentCohort   0x05342861,0xA7BDDF17,0x80000023   

This makes those lots part of a Maxis industrial manufacturing building family (0x70000023). In order to avoid having them growing in empty industrial lots, I just filled the cohorts with zeros. No relevant property is lost with this. The other lots in the package are fine as they reference a basic park cohort file, which attaches to no building family.

In "PEG-CDK_Warehouse-3x4_105.dat", the building exemplar file has this parent cohort as well. I had empty industrial lots growing now and then, quite likely that they were caused by the PEG-CDK lots. Thanks for the hint!

According to my records the dl is titled MeijiLifeBuildingV2.zip with an internal date of 7/22/08  I dl'd it in Feb '09.

I was surprised it wasn't from the "Japan" thread, but I don't see it there, so I'm not sure when I got it. At any rate I have the zip if you want to look at it, but I'm sure it would be better if we had the download link. Here's a pic that comes packed with it for an image

At least the grayish version you linked us to does grow on empty lots...
The file 8590_CO$$$_MeijiLifeBuilding_f619a984.SC4Lot contains a building exemplar belonging to the ingame building family 0x400000AB.

hmmm.. I may just be confused. I have the NOB lot (I 573 jobs) Seaport01_6ee5fece.SC4Lot which continues to pop up "empty growable"

I have downloaded the NOB Mega Packs 1,2 & 3 files on the LEX. I was under the impression that those files corrected this problem. Have I overlooked something?

I reran the "remove files" for all 3 and they say "not present" for all. Was this lot possibly overlooked in some way?

Those MEGA Packs only contain models and props.
The old lots by NOB have not been updated yet... we're still waiting for Nate to finally return from the car crash he had, and continue the valuable work he started.

Thanks for the updates. I have corrected about 60 lots so far using your great how to instructions. Have fixed all of NOB"s lots that I have.

If possible, I would also appreciate if anybody would know who made the following bats:

  • Hong Wang Akamanji Cybernetics
  • Masa Aioi
  • Acchi SakuranoDepartmentStore
  • Osaka Marubiru

A few of these I recognize and have. I've given the names that I managed to find to identify them, but I 'm not sure if that is the actual names of the creator. I've also given links to sites where I found them.

* The 'Acchi SakuranoDepartmentStore' I have in my Acchi folder. This is the site http://scssdl.inukubou.com/ (http://scssdl.inukubou.com/). That particular department store isn't up on the site, but I do know there were several other files that had previously been available but aren't any more. Perhaps because of the empty lot issue.

* The Osaka Marubiru building I found at the same site as some of the lots listed for CloSpider in the Japanese Gallery thread. This is the site http://kurokumoitiba.hide-yoshi.net/ (http://kurokumoitiba.hide-yoshi.net/) (using the BAT link). I also noticed that the same lot is listed under BlackSpider in the second Japanese Gallery.

*The Masa Aioi building I have under the name of Masa along with many other bats. This was also a Japanese maker, but I can't seem to find the site at this time. I'll keep trying to dig it up.

* The Hong Wang Akamanji Cybernetics building I have as being made by Yuhisa (same as 2ch.net Simplayer I think). I believe I found it on this site http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;page=1;id= (http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;page=1;id=)

Hope some of this helps. As I mentioned, these names are names that I managed to find. I'm not sure how accurate they are since they are Japanese makers, and I may not have accurate in some of my assumptions.

I think you are correct as I did get a few off of Simboard a while back! I really need to start keeping track of where I get these! I also went to a Korean site (SC4 labs???) and found a few...I will get them together. Also , since I have not had a lot of time to mess with fixing them (many other things attracting my short attention) and I was unsure if Nate was coming back, I did fix Hattori clockmakers.

OK, here is the issue a lot of files at..SC4Labs (http://cafe.naver.com/sc4labs) have many issues. Of course , one is there are many that Grow on empty lots , but the other was that the way they are named makes it almost  impossible to open in Reader , for that you need to rename them then open in Datgen. They also are all in .rar format. Here is an example of one that I got a while back. http://cafe.naver.com/sc4labs.cafe?iframe_url=/ArticleRead.nhn%3Farticleid=153 (http://cafe.naver.com/sc4labs.cafe?iframe_url=/ArticleRead.nhn%3Farticleid=153) Here is a link to how to use the site http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7999.msg253346#msg253346 (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7999.msg253346#msg253346)

I will try and go back through and find/report the ones that are blank lots.Anyone who goes there to download , just remember that some of these do contribute to this problem!

Hey Tage, I was wondering if not only we could get them removed from ST, but ...and I have not checked , didn't someone over at Force remake a set with the proper values? I have noticed that the last 6-12 months, the lots released over there have been for the most part , blank lot free.I know there are still a bunch of lots out there..I didn't even think to check hdorrikers lots as I don't use them , so that was a great catch Trio3D.

Lets not push any kind of "knee-jerk" reaction! While it is mildly annoying to have an empty lot grow now and then, its hardly a "game stopper". There are far more noisome issues that need to be attacked in SC4 before we take up the torches and pitchforks and storm the town.

We owe Masuda san a lot for informing the Japanese community about these! &apls
Unfortunately there's nobody having corresponding influence regarding uploads on STEX.
I haven't seen a single update of any of these on STEX since I first published the list over there almost 3 years ago.

Most of them, such as hdorriker, have long been gone, so not much to do about those.
Bobbo662 did blocked all of his, but unfortunately hasn't been able to update and reupload them yet...

The most recent uploader of such lots on STEX is darknono35,
who seems to have made some progress after I directed him to the corresonding thread at ST.

Next candidate.. I've looked through my plugins and can't find an obvious candidate.. I'll keep searching for the "culprit" and let all know if I can identify it.. In the meantime I'm posting this in case someone else knows of it. It is as can be seen an R$$ of max capacity 500.

The only search that I did that even showed promise is SOMY Patio 46 (mainly because 1. Its a japanese lot and 2. it has the "46" in it) If anyone has other search parameters that I should look for, let me know. If it is "patio 46" I am not sure where I got it .. but probably from a japanese site. If that is the culprit, it is probably file R$$5x5-somy-patios46_f4a7ebd3.SC4Lot

OK it MAY BE the file with this link picture at this site (http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/somy000/index.htm)

As Jayson mentioned earlier, SOMY updated that lot February 5th.

However, the only file that was updated within the zip seems to be this:
patios46-dummy-0x6534284a-0x94a7aaf4-0xb4a7e7bb.SC4Desc

That's the invisible growable building exemplar.
Thus, SC4BOY, could you send me that file, or preferably the whole original zip file?

Haha.. well that post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.. perhaps I should have decorated it with smilies.. But I guess my point is (as is pointed out by Tage re: Masuda-san) is to develop allies with superior reputations at the sites in question, not the storming of the Bastille :)  .. And with respect to your last comment.. I think we ARE "address[ing]" it. And in truth.. I mean really.. is it really THAT ANNOYING????? A quick smack with the bulldozer and its gone.. probably the least annoying of all the SC4 "problems" that I can think of. Naturally I agree it deserves attention and I think we are doing that.

Will do.. I'll email (DONE) it to you (I assume you got the last one I sent "Meiji Bldg"?.. if not let me know and I'll send it a different way).  I also looked through my install of that lot and I DO HAVE the *-dummy-* lot in my plugins so its possible that that was the one that was growing instead of the other one.

BTW I did do ANOTHER search of this thread and didn't find this lot listed, so that's why I didn't find it before. Is there a seperate list somewhere? Or was it removed because it had been corrected at the dl site?

I got the file on Feb 4 '08 so its good that it is fixed. I suppose now I need to re-download them  and overwrite my files :). Its interesting that I apparently dl'd it the day before he updated it  ()what() Just my luck.. LOL

That dummy file is dated February 1st, 2008, whereas the other files in that zip file are dated January 26th and 27th.

In other words, you have downloaded the updated lot, but probably haven't removed the original files... &mmm
The original file, which grows on empty lots, would in that case be in some other file... &mmm
Not knowing its filename, the only clue would be to look for files having a date matching the other files... January 26th or 27th.

Yes, your version was in fact identical to one of those Jayson sent me.
Both versions of the Meiji building were added to the lists with the latest update. ;)

And in truth.. I mean really.. is it really THAT ANNOYING????? A quick smack with the bulldozer and its gone.. probably the least annoying of all the SC4 "problems" that I can think of.

Hey...its cool  :thumbsup: As far as the issue being annoying, demolishing works but.....IMO, that is extremely annoying ! Maybe not as annoying as CTDs or PropPox, but at least this annoyance can be fixed quite easily!  ;D

The one you sent is unfortunately the same, which is now available for download.
That dummy file is dated February 1st, 2008, whereas the other files in that zip file are dated January 26th and 27th.

Hmmm, you are correct in that point

QuoteIn other words, you have downloaded the updated lot, but probably haven't removed the original files... &mmm

I double-checked that.. The only files in my plugins are those files

Can you DOUBLE check those files? I really don't find any other candidates for the empty lot syndrome.. wait.. Ok I am sending a zip of the actual files in the PATIOS folder in my PLUGINS (that other one was from my "install archive") to you.. they are dated the same as the ones I sent you already so are likely the same files, but you never know I guess..
OK.. I sent my complete SOMY folder from my PLUGINS (other than the MegaPaks which I dl'd from the LEX.. I assume those have no problems in them) All of those were probably obtained at the same site given before.

WRT "ANNOYING" as far as I know there is absolutely no real ill-effects on the game even if you never notice the "bad lot" is there?

Already double checked them all, more than once.

EDIT:
Since those files that are now included in Somy's upload only contain one growable lot,
I suspect he might in fact have removed a ploppable residential lot from his original upload.
All lots growing empty are "functional" ploppable landmarks (having jobs or residents).

What isn't annoying to you might be very much annoying to others.

Besides, since these invisible buildings growing on empty lots are in fact landmarks modded to be functional (have jobs),
there may indeed be one effect that is very annoying... especially if you'd have no idea what to look for...

Quote from: RippleJet on April 02, 2007, 01:40:29 PM
It is also important to notice that a landmark growing on an empty lot retains whatever monthly cost that was given to it. Since a landmark usually is associated with a rather high monthly cost, you might quickly drain you city budget unless you bulldoze such empty lots.

I would like to add, that neglecting to fix this bug can lead to budget problems. the Tower Residence was costing me 30,000 a month in the landmarks menu until I deleted every single instance of it in my city. BahrainWTC was costing over 10,000 a month.

Unfortunately the original post he made (which I linked to in my reply) is now gone from ST.
However, he had immense problems finding the offending small empty lots in his skyscraper city.

Post by: SC4BOY on August 28, 2009, 12:54:49 PM
I almost hessitate to bring this up, because it throws a monkeywrench into the whole thing. However here are the facts:

Point of discussion: The SOMY Patios 46 (with all the discussion above regarding Growing Empty Lots)

1. I absolutely got the file about 11pm on the 4th of Feb, 2008 (technically a day BEFORE it was updated, but I think Japan has the 5th during our 4th USA EST)
2. I downloaded it one time and only one time on that 2008 date. I have never re-downloaded it. I DID download and install the SOMY Megafiles, but it is my understanding that this absolutely does not address the empty growables issue.
3. It has the updated files dated late Jan, early Feb in it as examined by Tage yesterday
4. I have repeatedly scanned my plugins and have neither removed, added, or overwritten any of those SOMY files. Not only do I just know this because I didn't, but I can also tell this by the way Windows dates files freshly downloaded.. it shows them as "modified" on  the download date for the zip and on the "install" date for copies extracted from zip files, independent of the creation date.
5. I did not ever execute the EMPTY GROWABLES cleanitol (other than to get a report.. I did also review ALL my cleanitol activities since before Jan 2008 as I still have the full archive) since I actively use a few of those files and didn't want to go through all my cities.. and as I've said before it is a trivial issue to deal with them as they occur.
6. I absolutely got the EMPTY GROWING LOT as pictured above about 3 days ago. It has occurred 1 and only 1 time.
7. I installed the "extracheats.dll" about 2 weeks ago so I went through my plugins and plopped anything that I didn't absolutely know what it was. Only one plop gave the " 46 () " query.... that one. When I plopped it with this cheat, it plopped properly.

From all this I can only conclude that there is more than one reason for a file to generate an empty growable on a lot. I do not really have the skills nor background knowledge to prove this in any way, but I hope this post will invite others to try to observe similar situations and post them here.

I welcome any thoughts on this issue and will execute any reasonable exercize that I can do to help get to the bottom of this. Thanks

SC4BOY, if you upload your city savefile (SC4) e.g. on Fileden or RapidShare,
I could take a look at it with Wouanagaine's SC4 Save program.

If I can locate the building exemplar in the building subfile or the lot exemplar in the lot subfile,
then I should be able to tell you the TGI of that building or ID of the lot...
that might help us find it (if the creator has left the TGI in the filename).

In order to find the building in the SC4 file, I'd need you to open the city in the game once more,
and by using the TerrainQuery cheat, I'd like to get the exact coordinates of the lot (cell numbers and X-, Y-, Z-coordinates).

I did, while plopping, find several of those somy houses in the "pack".. ie that I dl'd the same time as I got it. All of them are large apartment blocks, but none of them had any names on the files There are 4 200 cap, and 5 600 cap...  maybe they somehow "inherited" the name, but none of the others have that capacity? I don't pretend to know how SC4 works.  Naturally I will keep my eyes wide open for any other occurance

Since the building itself is not a building exemplar, but a prop exemplar,
it would simply be missing in the game if you didn't have the prop exemplar,

Ok, is there any chance you did not have the prop exemplar in your plugins folder when it grew?
You might want to test this now by removing the above prop exemplar from your plugins,
and then use BuildingPlop to plop the Patio in the game.

If it looks the same as in your picture above, then that could be the answer to it.

I did think of one added bit of info.. when I re-DATPACK my files, I save the old datpacked files. I could send copies of that old datpack file, but of course that doesn't have the info in a save file. But at least I do have it so thought I'd mention it. This could prove absolutely if a file was/wasn't in my game file at a given point of play I also have rather arbitrary saved "city states" as I play in order to recover if ugly things happen. If those happen to be at the RIGHT TIME or the RIGHT CITY I can't say :(

LOL just thought of another point that may/may not be useful. All those "empty" growables happened on a medium or a small city tile, not the large tile.. I only have one LARGE city tile in this region.

Prior to this test, there has been  no modification of my SOMY files (other than the previously mentioned SOMY Megafiles, which as you mentioned should not be a factor).

Remove patios46-0x6534284a-0x94a7aaf4-0x14a7e8c8.SC4Desc and BuildingPlop'd Patio 46.

HMMMM.. a few things bother me about the above pic. One thing is the props on the lot are completely different from the 1st pic (repeated below for easy reference) The props above are the correct ones I'd expect from the SOMY Patio 46, the ones below are not. The flammability and pollution values are different.. in short they really just don't look much like they came from the same lot other than the query.

Indeed. A flammability of 13 definitely suggests it is from a typical ploppable landmark, that grows on an empty lot.
Growable building exemplars always get a flammability of 35/40/45 (depending on wealth) in Maxis PIM.

Thus, this building exemplar must have used by someone when creating a functional ploppable residential landmark.
It may even not have been created by Somy...

The seasonal lot does indeed grow on empty lots due to its Parent Cohort.
It's been added to the CS$$ list. ;)

It grows regardless of CAM though, since, due to its Parent Cohort, it belongs to one of Maxis' CS$$ families.
The growth stage of the functional landmark lot itself wouldn't cause it to grow though.

Thanks to a PM from zanardi66 I've been able to add 9 petroleum lots made by disk_error back in August 2003.
They all grow as empty I-D lots:



I also happened myself to come across the first lot uploaded by citynut.
It grows empty as a CO§§§ with 1455 jobs:


However, this lot has already been updated and reuploaded on the LEX (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1036). :thumbsup:

Thanks for the list RippleJet. Found out I had a few of those lots in my cities already.

It seems like with every internet search to download files, there are more files to add to the ever-expanding list.

But what if there were a way to block the Empty Lots from growing, while maintaining the functionality of the functional landmarks? There just may be.

I'm currently looking for a handful of people that either have kept known Empty RCI Lots in their Plugins, or don't mind hunting some down, willing to help me test a file to block the Blank RCI's once and for all. Anyone interested can just drop me a PM, please specify whether you're using CAM or not, so I can keep track.

12. Ploppable CS$ with jobs, that might grow on empty lots (M-Z)

The Building Exemplar Name is what you will see when querying an empty lot. The number of jobs are included to help your identification. If the file has already been corrected and uploaded, I recommend redownloading it through the link given.

LOL yes, that is ME!  I remember many of the lots on the list from Bobbo!  The Zayre and Walmart bldgs.  I've tested some of his bldgs. in my city and sent pics and documentation over to Bobbo so he could get some 1 on 1 feedback. then he'd upload. his work was classic and professional.  I wonder why they are missing? wouldn't the owner do the removals or do you think new server upgrades etc, could have lost a lot of these?

Larus Plaza is growing on an empty lot. Can I just bulldoze the lot in my city and remove all the files from the plugins folder? I don't really care if I don't have it, its better to have something else being constructed over these empty lots...
