This SC4 Devotion LEX Legacy Pack features the Transportation related LOTs and BATs by legendary BSC BATer Xannepan, which had been available on the Lot Exchange (LEX) at SC4 Devotion (and in some cases on STEX). It includes the contents of 7 previously separate downloads.
After battling a number of technical issues, software incompatibility ultimately shuttered the LEX (at least in its familiar form from 2007 onward) in June 2023, and this package is designed to collect these dependencies in an easy-to-use form, allowing users to install them all in one go, or carefully select exactly which packs they wish to install.

Please note that this pack may receive updates in the near future. Do not redistribute without asking first, mostly as doing so would complicate efforts to properly maintain, update, and provide technical support for the pack.

ChangeLog:

• All the lots have been updated with SC4PIM-X (X-Tool) and all of them were brought up to current NAM/MTA transit capacity, transit switch and TSEC standards.
• The main model and prop files have been recompiled and included
• There has been a general clean-up of the files, unnecessary and outdated parts of the files have been removed, broken parts have been fixed.
• The Amsterdam Central V2 package (that was released on the LEX) got a new additional lot supporting the Hybrid RailWay (HRW) network.
• The Gare Orsay package also got a new additional lot supporting the Hybrid RailWay (HRW) network.

Installation:

This package utilizes a Java-based installer (similar to the one used with the Network Addon Mod), and can also be opened and installed manually using 7-Zip or Keka.

To install it, you'll either need the Java Runtime Environment to run the installer--Adoptium's open-source edition is recommended--or a zip tool capable of opening the installer to allow manual installation. For Windows/Linux, use 7-zip, and for macOS, use Keka.

Once into the installer, after agreeing to the terms for the package, click to the Files tab to select which files you wish to install (making no changes here will install everything). To expand options, click the small "+" next to the name of the section.

Then, click to the Location tab to set up an installation location (this should be the root of your My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder). After this, click over to the Install tab, and click "Start installation" to begin the installation procedure. When installation is complete, the tab pop up a message indicating it, after which you are safe to close the installer.

To avoid conflicts, it is highly recommended to run one of the 3rd party cleanitol tools and remove any previous or outdated versions of these files from your plugins.
In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP in the Prop-Texture Catalogue Index and Cleanitol/ folder you will find the Cleanitol_SC4D LEX Legacy - JENX Rail and El-Rail Stations V1.txt and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove the old and outdated versions of these files. Again to avoid possible conflicts and glitches it is highly recommended to run either of these tools.

Bear in mind that this Collection contains Prop packs only available with this upload. Those prop packs can be used and referenced by other contents may not part of this collection as dependencies. If a 3rd party upload references one of the prop packs available in this Collection, you don't need to install everything, you can select and install only the referenced prop pack. All prop packs have individual cleanitol files (besides the Cleanitol_SC4D LEX Legacy - JENX Rail and El-Rail Stations V1.txt) and they have Prop Catalogue index images as a help for lotters.

The following files are required in order for the contents of this package to appear correctly (i.e., no "brown boxes" or missing textures) (the below listed dependencies are covering a full install; for dependencies for individual collections see the list of contents section for the names, then you will find the updated old readme files for each contents in the ~Documents/BSC_Readmes/xannepan/ folder within the ZIP):
