CAMeLots - Linking all available lots and bats

[RippleJet]

If I run this aftre I instal the CAM lots will that cause issues?

I guess you've figured out the answer to this already Diggis...
As far as I know all CAMeLots have different filenames and TGI addresses than the corresponding pre-CAM lots.
Thus, you can safely run Cleanitol with the CAM Remove Lots BSC even after you've installed the CAMeLots.

[Diggis]

Yeah I thought as much, so I figured I would be safe.  One thing though, which I mentioned before, the Cleanitol file for the dependencies doesn't pick up the model files for DT and NDEX's work.  Very weird, but at least I know I have them

[RippleJet]

Would that be the one that contained the world [model] in the filename?

[Diggis]

yes, but the names were the same as the ones in the cleanitol file, it just didn't see them 

[RippleJet]

That's a limitation by Cleanitol, Diggis.

It was reported a while ago by bendy as well.

And as long as Wouanagaine is "living for real", we can't do much about it...

im sorry but i downloaded the Frank and Archai Tower II that is contained on the Commercial CAM.

I downloaded then the model and the .dat from simtropolis.com

But i realized that those files (model and .dat) are for the Frank and Archai Tower I which is for Stage 8 and Frank and Archai Tower II is Stage 9.  Help would be appreciated thanks.

Hi, it's me again .

I had a brown box with Place Ville Marie. In the Lex there wasn't a link towards the landmark (I also couldn't find it in there), so I downloaded it here: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18004

[RippleJet]

Thanks Redguy! Good catch!

The stage 9 Frank & Arhcai tower that is included in the CAM Commercial Offices BSC is based on DuskTroopers original model.

Thus, in order to avoid having a brown box with the stage 9 tower, you need the model file from DuskTroopers Frank Archai Tower.
Note that you only need the model file; FRANKANDARCHAITWR-0x5ad0e817_0x2d2d42d9_0x680000.SC4Model.
Do not install any of the Dat files; DuskTrooper's_Frank&Archai_Growable.dat or DuskTrooper's_Frank&Archai_Plopable.dat.

The NDEX Frank And Archai Tower II By DuskTrooper has not beed CAMified, and should not be used with the CAM.

Why an emphasis on not? I installed them (I'm lazy), but the game seems to run fine...

[RippleJet]

Because in that case you will have the Frank & Archai Tower growing as a stage 8 as well, when it should be a stage 9.

Besides, the growable version (DuskTrooper's_Frank&Archai_Growable.dat) hasn't been corrected since the early days of modding when it was made.
Its capacity is too large and the garbage pollution is rather high.

The ploppable version (DuskTrooper's_Frank&Archai_Plopable.dat) will grow on an empty lot as well and should definitely not be installed.

5. Commercial Office §§§ CAMeLots

Lot Type	Lot Size	Lot Name	Growth Stage	Download CAMeLot here	Download BAT Model here
CO$$$	3x4	ILJ Export	14	CAM Commercial Offices BSC	ks_jpn MEGA Props Vol08

I'm sorry to be a royal pain in the arse, but the above-mentioned building appears to be missing and it doesn't make sense to me.

The LOT name is IJL Export EB, and that means, in my opinion, that it was made by Eburess? (sp?) I do have ks_jpn MEGA Props Vol 08 installed, but it does not show up in the LE (the Building).

I looked at the other IJL buildings by EB but couldn't find one that could possibly be the one in question?

There are these two:

• IJL Financial Center by EB
• IJL Financial Center II by EB and DT

EDIT: It must be the first of the above because the model is named IJL Export (i.e. Exported model )
EDIT2: I am also missing the Frank and Archai Model despite having downloaded the one you pointed to RippleJet, which is in my plugins folder.

[RippleJet]

Thanks M, I'll correct it!

[M4346]

No problem, glad I could be of assistance!

Would you mind, however, clarifying the below-mentioned? 

EDIT2: I am also missing the Frank and Archai Model despite having downloaded the one you pointed to

[gabrielbyrnei]

yes, i have done what you sayed, only installing the model and not any of the 2 .dat's

but still it shows a brown box :S

[M4346]

A quick look at the PNG file and exemplar file in the Reader shows that it is in fact the Frank & Archai Tower II.

[RippleJet]

Exactly M! I just checked the TGI addresses myself.

It is indeed the model file NDEX (DuskTrooper) Frank and Archai Tower II.SC4Model from NDEX Frank And Archai Tower II By DuskTrooper that you need.

Sorry for the confusion. Link will be updated

[M4346]

LOL! I don't know what TGI stands for, but I'm glad I was on the right track Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and create Readmes

Okay, thats sucks . Not because of that one lot, but because I didn't delete any of the dat-files from DuskTrooper (or any other building on which a CAMelot was based).

Can I just delete all those dat-files, boot the game, remove any brown boxes and just continue?

[RippleJet]

Yes you can. Or even better, use the CAM Remove Lots BSC Cleanitol, which will remove all old lots belonging to those that have been CAMified.
