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.

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>:
[[User:MelvinMan10|MelvinMan10]] ([[User talk:MelvinMan10|talk]]) 03:55, 22 August 2025 (CDT)
#'''[[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).
#'''[[Marriott Marquis Interchange City]]:''' Intended to be like certain EPL Kone elevators in real world.
#'''[[Skyscraper School (V3)]] (Matrix Building):''' Intended to be like [[Skyscraper School (V3)#DISCLAIMER|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, 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]].

Because I may unexpectedly update an older building with a new feature, my <abbr title="Including building-specific scripts, as used in both versions of Skyscraper School.">buildings</abbr> will '''no longer have''' the most recent month and year of revision in their filenames. I have modified [[Skyscraper School (V3)]], [[Driverson City|other]] [[SDU|Engine]] [[DRH|Context]] [[ABH|complexes]], and all [[SRH|single]] [[TQCC|building]] [[SDT|projects]] to have only the building name(s) in the file/folder names (or with the format <span style="color:green;">"Building Name (Address).bld"</span> for some places in [[:Category:Tranquility City|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.
 
<small>'''Note:''' The only disadvantage with this change would be, if you install any recent version of my IP, and later install [[G1DP]] or any package containing [[buildings]] and [[data]] from many people, [[TLC|any]] [[TROP|building]] [[Westin Tranquility City|that existed]] since the old forum (such as [[Skydream Tower]] and [[Serenity Hospital]]) would be replaced with a copy from the past, unless you choose to <u>compare both files</u> when copying the latter. This however can be remedied if, for example, gooper1 updates G1DP with more recent files from [[Forum|both forums]].</small>

The two candidates to expand into an EC complex[edit source]

Latest comment: 08:361 comment1 person in discussion

After looking at the list of buildings in Tranquility City, there are nine buildings that are stand-alone projects. Seven of them have several factors that render them infeasible to be turned into an EC complex, while the remaining two are "good candidates" to add more buildings in the future, due to having small footprints and not too many floors*:

  1. Driverson Townhall
  2. Tranquility Conference Center

I still cannot say the exact type of building to be added, as well as how many months or years will elapse before realizing this dream. Only when I have worked on it significantly will I share its details.

*The reason why I say "not too many floors" is simple. Buildings with several floors need a large amount of text ranges for their elevator buttons, floor indicators, floor signs, etc. Turning such a place into an EC complex may crash some computers, like what happened with WMC when I added a parking garage to it.
