There are still some buildings (fully created by me) that do not have external floor indicators on at least one floor (apart from any service/freight elevator), so <u>let me share the reason why</u>:
You may have noticed that in [[TROP|certain]] [[MMIC|buildings]], outside floor indicators are present only for the service/freight elevators. I removed such indicators from those places' passenger elevators because in some copies of the simulator from early 2018, external floor indicator disappeared (I remember experiencing this bug when I was working on [[Marketing Square]] in April 2018). However, because this issue was fixed in a different copy of the sim, the indicators were added (as usual) to the newer buildings since then.
#'''[[Transnational Office Plaza]]:''' This building is simulated to be built during the time when external indicators weren't greatly used in real elevators (at least such indicators are still present in the parking elevators).
 
Anyways, some buildings (<abbr title="Excluding">excl.</abbr> [[Gen5 Office Tower|mods]]) still lack such indicators on at least one floor (apart from one or more service elevators, if present), so <u>let me share the reason why</u>:
#'''[[Transnational Office Plaza]]:''' This building is simulated to be built during the time when external indicators weren't greatly used in real elevators (at least I still leave the parking elevators' external indicators intact).

However, because I recently added destination dispatch to [[Skydream Tower]] and [[Simulation Tower]], external indicators will not be added to the DD elevators*, mocking the appearance of such thing IRL. Additionally, I also recently reinstated such indicators to the passenger elevators in all three buildings in [[Tennerland Complex]], which will be available in the next release of my IP.<br>

Because I may unexpectedly update an older building with a new feature, my buildings<sup>1</sup> will '''no longer have''' the most recent month and year of revision in their filenames. (However, the format <span style="color:green;">"Building Name (Address).bld"</span> is still used for some places in [[Tranquility City]].) The only things with a year label would be commonly used scripts such as "Deco2023" and "[[AutomaticDoor2013]]."


Because of the fact that I may unexpectedly update an older building with a new feature or anything else, all buildings and their specific script folders will '''no longer have''' the most recent month and year of revision in their names. I have modified Skyscraper School (V3), other Engine Context complexes, and all single building projects to simply have only the building name(s) in the file/folder names (or with the format <span style="color:blue;">"Building Name (Address).bld"</span> for some places in Tranquility City). The only things with a year label would be scripts commonly shared among many buildings such as "Deco2023" and "AutomaticDoor2013."
Therefore, ''please'' kindly back up the building files that you have prior to installing any new update, just in case anything goes wrong with the new naming convention. Additionally, because some of my buildings are included as a part of [[City|eventhorizon's city test]], if that test does not load due to my change, you can either:
*Rename my buildings to match with the name stated in the "[[City]].bld" file, or
*Privately modify your copy of the "[[City]].bld" file, changing the loaded buildings' name in the code to match with mine.


Therefore, whenever the next release comes, ''please'' kindly back up the current files in your "buildings" folder prior to installing the new update, just in case anything goes wrong with the new naming convention.

#Including building-specific scripts, like the tables and chairs for the schools I created.

Please note that the only disadvantage with this change would be, if you install any recent version of my IP, then immediately install [[G1DP]] or any package containing buildings and data from many people, a building that existed since the old forum (such as [[Skydream Tower]] and [[Serenity Hospital]]) would be replaced with the version from the past, unless you choose to compare both files when copying the latter. This however can be remedied if, for example, gooper1 updates G1DP with more recent files from [[Forum|both forums]].

Quick note related to the external floor indicators[edit source]

Latest comment: 26 October1 comment1 person in discussion

There are still some buildings (fully created by me) that do not have external floor indicators on at least one floor (apart from any service/freight elevator), so let me share the reason why:

  1. Transnational Office Plaza: This building is simulated to be built during the time when external indicators weren't greatly used in real elevators (at least such indicators are still present in the parking elevators).
  2. Marriott Marquis Interchange City: Intended to be like certain EPL Kone elevators in real world.
  3. Skyscraper School (V3) (Matrix Building): Intended to be like the real school building which also has outside indicators only for Elevator 7.

However, because I recently added destination dispatch to Skydream Tower and Simulation Tower, external indicators will not be added to the DD elevators in both places, mocking the appearance of such thing IRL. Note that I will leave the conventional elevators at both places untouched, as I like how the lanterns are placed vertically above doors, like in The Spire. Additionally, older versions of buildings (as well as discontinued places) will not have these indicators added.

Latest comment: 27 October1 comment1 person in discussion

Because I may unexpectedly update an older building with a new feature, my buildings1 will no longer have the most recent month and year of revision in their filenames. (However, the format "Building Name (Address).bld" is still used for some places in Tranquility City.) The only things with a year label would be commonly used scripts such as "Deco2023" and "AutomaticDoor2013."

Therefore, please kindly back up the building files that you have prior to installing any new update, just in case anything goes wrong with the new naming convention. Additionally, because some of my buildings are included as a part of eventhorizon's city test, if that test does not load due to my change, you can either:

  • Rename my buildings to match with the name stated in the "City.bld" file, or
  • Privately modify your copy of the "City.bld" file, changing the loaded buildings' name in the code to match with mine.

  1. Including building-specific scripts, like the tables and chairs for the schools I created.
