You might 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 quickly fixed then, the indicators were added again.

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>:
== Reasons why I moved the links here ==
#'''[[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]].
It is not fully related to some users' comments this time, but it is directly related to the simulator's recent changes. Initially, the filler walls in external mesh weren't cut properly. Luckily that this issue was quickly fixed after I pinpointed the buildings with such issues. In addition, while testing [[August 16 2025 build|this build]], I found out that the landscape was not cut the intended way in [[DRH]]. With all of these, I cannot keep the links at the main meeting point where people just download the [[buildings]], face several errors, and post about them almost every day.


<small>'''Note:''' [[Skyscraper School|Older versions]] of buildings (including [[Driverson City|mods]] and [[Interchange Hospital|discontinued places]]) will not have these indicators added.</small>
By keeping my IP isolated here, people would have more time to read what I said before deciding whether to download or not, which should lessen any possible error reports.

Because I may unexpectedly update an older building with a new feature, my buildings (including building-specific scripts) 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 [[: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>
