Title: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: kutto on 2007 October 06, 19:10:36 Trying out the new interaction "Walk to Lot," I've run into a big problem. The lot loads, but the sim never shows up. I can X out the interaction, I can line up things behind it, but nothing I've done seems to work. I don't have a Lot Debugger to retrieve the sim on the hotel yet(that was dumb). There are no errors pooping up. I updated all of my awesome hacks this very day, so I can't be oldversioned. Any idea what would cause this?
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: eevilcat on 2007 October 06, 19:28:21 I'd double check your hacks folder. I had a lot of problems with the walk to... functionality at first, either arriving with no sims or losing all control while departing. It turned out that one or two of my hacks weren't BV compatible. It's been working fine since I updated the out of date hacks and removed a dubious non-awesome one.
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: kutto on 2007 October 06, 19:42:11 No non-awesome for me, though I still have some TwoJeffs. Is he half-awesome now or what's the situation? I certainly do not have any kind of pet killer.
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: jolrei on 2007 October 06, 19:44:58 The eevilcat scenario posted above is especially possible if you simply overwrote your hacks folder, rather than deleting it first and then loading updated hacks - you may have an old incompatible hack that went un-updated or even a duplicate.
With Twojeffs hacks, you need to make sure that they are BV compatible, and compatible with Awesome(TM) hacks. There are some TJ hacks that specify that they are not compatible with some things in JM's director's cut. Make sure you read the RTFM files for your TJ hacks and make decisions accordingly.

Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: veilchen on 2007 October 06, 21:10:41 I believe he has. VC and ARC are in their own subforum in TJ's main forum.
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: jsalemi on 2007 October 06, 22:11:14 All of TJs hacks have been updated or certified for BV -- you need to update any of his you have.
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: cwieberdink on 2007 October 07, 00:22:54 I had this same problem with TJs hack folder in my game. I need to go get updates. If you remove TJs hacks, the sims will mysteriously reappear on their "home" lot.
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: kutto on 2007 October 07, 00:28:11 It was either the VC or Marhis' walkby tweak. I removed both of them, and now my problem is fixed. I looked at the TJ's area, and it seemed like I have to register to get the BV version, I guess because it's still in beta. No biggie, really. I only used it on one lot.
Title: Re: "Walk to lot" results in missing sim in Bon Voyage Post by: Kyna on 2007 October 07, 01:34:43 Damn. I like the painting version of the VC, so have never made the switch to the beta version. I have my favourite community lots binned, with paintings included, ready to put in any new 'hood I make. It's simpler than updating each community lot the first time I go there.
Now I have to update to the beta version (since I have this glitch too), as TJ is no longer updating the painting version. /me presses the thanks button, as she was wondering what was causing this glitch in her game. |
