    Hello everyone. The Shanghai Tower Resource has a bug or glitch in it that makes it so the building doesn't attach to roads. The building is really cool and I would love to put it in my city, but it needs to be fixed first. Is there anybody willing to fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated. I would do it myself but I have no knowledge of how to work with code. Here is a link to the resource.

    If you unpack the mod and are willing to mess around with the layout file, you might be able to solve that problem yourself.

    It doesn't take any real coding knowledge to edit layout/class files, although it would take a small bit of finesse and patience to edit the position of the plug (entity that determines where the road connection is).

    Simply add the following line to the class file : <MustConnectToRoad>0</MustConnectToRoad>
    the building will keep snaping to roads AND be fully functional.

    the easiest way is to

    1. open the .patch with Easy Mod XL http://xlnation.net/resources/easy-mod-xl.581/
    2. double click b_sh.class in the left panel
    3. locate the </EntityPosition> line (look a little below <EntityPosition> :) )
    4. add the line <MustConnectToRoad>0</MustConnectToRoad>
    5. go the menu File and select "convert to patch"
    6. save the .emp and overwrite the .patch
    7. exit EasyModXL, launch CXL
    and voilà, ready to plop
