It is possible to lock this topic and later unlock it when desired. After having clicked the "Lock topic" link, it will change to "Unlock topic" so that you can always return later.I didn't know if I could unlock it later, thanks for the help!
<snip>That would be a good idea, such as in elevators that have destination dispatch on the outside there is an extra keypad on the inside for fire service (like serving more floors than advertised).
It would be nice if ENTER and CANCEL buttons were applied to the keypad inside the elevator.
In fact, some elevators have an ENTER button and a CANCEL button on the keypad.
For example, to enter Floor 24, press 2, then 4, and then press ENTER to register it immediately.
If you make a mistake, press the CANCEL button and re-enter.
These makes sense, thanks.
With 1, there's no floor with ID 7, so it falls back to the raw floor number, which ends up being the floor with ID 6 (Floor 7).
P1 brought me to the floor with ID P1, and P2 also brought me to P2, so that seems to be working.
For Floors 39 to 110, I had to remove the early input check for the alphabetical characters to work, so the way it works now is that you input the characters, after the timeout it submits it to the dispatch controller and then you get an invalid floor response.I saw that floors 39 to 110 existed in the building file because of a planned taller tower that was scrapped (according to the Butler Centre article I had created)
Number 0 and star (*) have for a long time been bound to the recall floor.I also saw that the MTR floor leads to nothing because the building project has been on hold since the old forum.
For floor determination, the code first tries the Number ID of the floor, which is unset in the Butler Centre building. Then it tries by Floor ID, and if that fails, it tries the raw floor index number.Interesting to see.
I tried applying the Keypad to Butler Centre T1&T2 and only MTR was not input.I experimented with the keypad and found some interesting stuff indeed, not sure if this behavior is intended or not.
I've reverted the change that is causing those issues, so I'll be putting out a build out very soon with that fix included.Thanks!
I would like to specify that this issue isn't related to the newer builds. At the time I've made the panel for the freight car, I didn't swap the textures for most of the buttons when they are pressed (as it was very tedious and repetitive), so there's a lot of dupplicated 40s buttons.Understood, I've done something similar for the Line Tower freight elevators although those textures are the correct ones.
I've tried applying keypad to some buildings and the problem happens like the screenshot above.I haven't tried the other two buildings you listed yet, although I'm not sure I'll be able to reproduce the problem myself.
There was no problem until 7/24/25 build.
I just tested it and the 7/24/25 build doesn't have the errors shown in the three screenshots above.I tested on the 8/13/25 build (not 2.0.1) and didn't have that issue. I also found this visual issue on the Sunny Bay Tower freight elevator.
There seems to be a small issue with the latest build.
I fixed the fire service key in that elevator, so it should look fine now. I think the reason it didn't always show up for you sometimes is because both buttons are in the same location, so I think it depends on which one Ogre fully renders. I also fixed the lower levels in the service elevator, it now goes down to SB. You can download the updated version here (click on the download button on the top right on the page)I see now, thanks for fixing though!

This was on Version 2.1, I believe 2.0 didn't have this problem.Sometimes when I load Skyscrapersim on the latest build, I get an error saying this:QuoteError loading texture data/menu.png
Cannot locate resource data/menu.png in resource group General.
Oddly enough, the application reloads again after a few seconds to no issues. This only started happening a few builds ago, not sure when.
Is that only happening on 2.1, and not 2.0? Mainly 2.1 has had a lot of changes recently, and a lot of code moves, so maybe something isn't working right. I'll see if I can reproduce it, I haven't seen that happen yet. Before the 2.0 release, the main menu (startscreen) was moved out to separate files, I'm not sure if it would be related to that.

I'll check that, I did some testing last night but couldn't reproduce it. Those sounds were having issues, which is why I added the sound enable/disable feature, what issue were they having for you?I was playing around and found out that the sounds that were supposed to come when the elevator was called for going up or down, as well as the floor beep sound, those weren't playing properly. Some of the other sounds were only sometimes having issues. I checked and all the sounds in the affected Line Tower are enabled. I'm also still able to reproduce a simulator crash by unloading sounds too quickly for the simulator to handle.
