Sorry for bumping the thread people. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm currently having an issue with Moonlinght san's 新和風高架鉄道MOD [zzzzzzz ML JPN EL Rail MOD n-texture]. As a picture speaks a thousand words, so may I display  "$Deal"$ :



I'm using NAM v30 + Hotfix Package 301, which is installed under a directory of:
C:\Users\Hkboondoggle\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\Network Addon Mod

The installation directory of Moonlinght san's 新幹線MOD & 新和風高架鉄道MOD locate at:
C:\Users\Hkboondoggle\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\zz_NAM 3rd Party Addon\zzzz ML Shinkansen MOD For NAM August 2010;
and
C:\Users\Hkboondoggle\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\zz_NAM 3rd Party Addon\zzzzzzz ML JPN EL Rail MOD n-texture
respectively.

That means the 新和風高架鉄道MOD should be loaded after the NAM & Shinkansen MOD, as stated in the Readme by Moonlinght san. In that case, can anyone help pointing out what had gone wrong? Thanks.

You may need to take out other ELR Catenary mod.
Your picture show that you have this mod made by Plunder in your plugins.. :P

Yup, the ELR Catenary mod seems to be the root of my problem. Just tried out the game with the mod removed & the graphic glitch of Moonlinght san's mod was disappeared. Thanks for pointing out Louis, much obliged!  :thumbsup:

moonlinght-sempai, I have a problem with your houses, the 4*4 lots.

some months ago they would have grown like mushrooms everywhere, but since some time, I don't have any more of them. And that's not the only problem, the texture of the streets in the lot suddenly disappeared.

I have it in my plugin folder, as well as all the dependencies.

My overwrite R$$$ Lots ()what()

This Lots?

Please check whether there is a texture 0xff094200-0xff094204 in the ML Texture.
If you do not find the texture, please re-download :thumbsup:

However, because the texture disappeared  only 4 * 4 lots, there might be other causes &ops

こんばんは Moonlinght-sempai

yee, these are the lots that have this problem.

So, I re-downloaded the ML textures file, as well as the houses again.. Stangly, they still doesn't seems to appear in my cities. I've run two cities for a long ingame-time, and still nothing is growing. I've set the architecture style to Europe only, as every Japanese building seems to be in this category.

I really have no idea what that problem/bug is..

Hello art128-sensei :)

Please try  &idea
Only "my R$$$ house" and "ML texture" in your plugin folder. And then, can you find that texture?
=> check texture

Next, Assuming you can find it.
Please to plug the MOD you are using usually.                   => check texture

3rd.
Please to plug BATs and PROP you are using usually.          => check texture

4th.
Please to plug texture you are using usually.                     => check texture

Please tell me the number when the texture was disappear ;)

So, I tried the first, and nothing at all. None of your lots appear. Nothing is growing except maxis' houses. And this with only ML textures and ML R$$$ houses in the plugin folder. ( i checked both my documents and steam folder, nothing more than your plugins.)

Here's the test tile I've made, running two years in game, nothing from ML R$$$ is appearing..

Okay.

So, first try with the modified one, seems like the 4*6 is growing nicely.





I've been invaded by the maxis houses, so I just put in the plugins the BSC block maxis buildings ( set as no Commercial and no Residential) as well as the yellow pause thingy removal (because it made some graphic glitch when moving in-game) and the plopmatic9000 ( to boost the RCI demand)

Nothing more seems to grow on the other zones. ( I used one of each size as per the description of your houses.)

But something interesting is showing just right now!

When i get back in game, the texture on the ground of the 4*6 lot was gone and a swimming pool prop appeared randomly.






So, Tried to remove one by one the mods I put in the plugins

     - First being the plopmatic9000 to be removed. Nothing change, the same texture problem is still here, the swimming pool as well, but nothing more is growing. None of your lots seems to grow.





     - Lets move to the next mod as well. Being the yellow pause thingy remover. Remaining in my plugin folder the ML textures, ML R$$$ houses, and the BSC block maxis buildings.
Same thing, nothing changed, the bug is still here, the swimming pool prop as well, and nothing is growing.


     - Now, I'm going to remove the last remaining mod from the plugins, the BSC Block maxis buildings.


Now this is becoming interesting.


the 4*6 houses are back, textures are normal, and the Swimming pool prop is gone, it's all good.
Houses on the 4*5 lot are growing as well.

Seeing some remaining maxis houses, I decided to put all the taxes of the R$$ and R$ to20% ( the maximum) and 1% for the R$$$

Houses on the 4*3 lot grows.
Houses on the 3*4 lot as well.
And after some time a 4*4 lot finally appeared!
But, no houses from the ML R$$$ are growing on the smallest lots.



Well, seeing the problem is gone, I'm going to try to put the previous mods one by one. Started by Plopmatic9000, then yellow pause thingy removal, and finally Block maxis building.

     - Growing all nicely and without any problem with the plopmatic9000 inside the plugins. So it was not this mod.

     - Alright, time to add the yellow pause thingy removal mod. Growing good without problems.

    - Now I'm going to add the last of the three mods. BSC Block Maxis Buildings.

Now, now, what do we have here? The textures are gone.




Well, it looks like there is a conflict between the BSC No maxis building and ML R$$$ Houses. I don't know if it's just on my computer, if it's because my game is in the Steam Library, but there is a problem somewhere... But you say these are over write ? That means they over write the Maxis houses? if so, maybe it's because of that the textures are missing with the BSC no maxis?





On another subject, I have three questions for you.

In the picture below, you have a nice smooth curve for the EL rail.. is it part of one of your mods?


On the picture below is more of a request than anything. If you have some time, do you think you can make some add-on for your canal set? such as diagonal T and X crossing, as well as orthogonal T and X, and maybe some bridges for pedestrian. It's if you have time, nothing is urgent from here. ;)

I'd say that whatever Maxis property that the blocker uses is used in the Exemplars for these LOTs. Probably the Parent Cohort was preserved in the clone.

My R$$$ Lot will overwrite the low-rise R$$$ of Maxis ;)
Sorry... &ops I have forgot to write 4x4 Lot. Therefore, they will overwrite 4x5, 4x6, 3x4, 4x3, 4x4, 3x3, 3x2, 2x3, 2x2 MAXIS Lots.

Since my Lots overwrites the R$$$ house of MAXIS, they replaced the texture when use BSC block maxis buildings MOD. At the same time, growth is inhibited by BSC block maxis buildings MOD. And, I think random swimming pool is something due to the impact of Exemplar files contained in the "BSC block maxis buildings MOD" &Thk/(

This is my Shinkansen MOD(monorail). I made modifications to RUL file of NAM because I wanted 90-degree curve and 45-dgree curve, S-curve ;)

Hmm, I see. Then I'll un-block the R$$$ files so I can have your houses. Thanks guys!

No problem about the canal, I'll do with the pieces we have. :)
