SCS Pack Help

[Wisewolf]

I've been having problem making my files into a SCS pack - no matter what I do, it refuses to become one. I've checked and the files were in the right place, the names correct, and the coding right. I've tried packing the buildings invidually as well, with no success. The files themselves work in-game, it's just they won't pack into a SCS. So I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but I've probably overlooked something or buggered something up somewhere. I would be very grateful to anyone who took a look and see what the problem is. Below are attached the files of my Traditional Homes, a set of 4 traditional Oriental homes, which are entirely unique buildings I have created using the Dojo model. It's a shame what little Asian themed buildings there are already for SCS (not to mention the complete lack of normal housing, which is a bit of a downer), so I was doing this to tide us all over until either an expansion pack or other modders make better works. So if anyone's willing, take a look and see what can be done. Thank you in advance!

P.S: I'm aware that when you go to place one of the Homes the model is white, but gains it's texture upon placement. It does work, and well, so don't think the mod's a bomb. :D

Edit: Also, sorry about use of the Arrow as the icon. I realised too late that was the one used for the official stickys but I can't change it. Sorry to all those I accidently tricked! :S

Wisewolf,

Two things I noticed when poking around your files.

1) You don't technically need to include this with your pack:
<FileAdd name="Import\WisewolfTraditionalHomePack.xml " />
When another player adds your SCS pack into their import directory, this file is made automatically. Including this in your mod isn't causing it to fail, but just something you can do to clean your files!

2) Check out your Cultural Graphics Effects folder. These are the three files you are adding in:
Traditional_Home_B Custom_Textures.xml
Traditional_Home_C_Custom_Textures.xml
Traditional_Home_D_Custom_Textures.xml
You'll notice your first file doesn't have an underscore after the 'B', while the other two files have one after their letter. In your XML where you are trying to pack all the files, you list this:
<FileAdd name="Data\XMLDb\Game\Cultural Graphics Effects\Traditional_Home_B_Custom_Textures.xml" />
This appears to be your problem! I made the change on my computer and the pack is working correctly, so hopefully it will for you to. Good luck!

I can't beleive I overlooked something so simple! Everything's fixed and it's become a pack. Thanks Mike for the help. :D
