There's this tree...

Hm, i cant explain that behavior. I tried it with version 99.18-1827 and pak32 (the file actually is a pak32-file), and it worked ok - never showed up on landscape only as cursor.

My version is 100.1 r2184 pak128 ...

I'm running 100.1-2126 Nov 20, 2008 with pak128 so that might be the problem.  At any rate mobo it is way better than having nothing to work with.  I think there might be some difficulty if the player goes into public service mode and uses the sign or if he tries to use it on the same square multiple times.

mobo, I downloaded the latest pak128 to start a new game.  The pak I was using had been downloaded in November and when I unzipped the file to the folder there was no cursor.marked.pak in that folder.  However when I went to copy your file to my newly created file folder, I got a msg asking should I overwrite.  I clicked yes and just so you know, the file works perfectly with the new pak, exactly like you said it should - thanks again!

I did the same thing, but now I tried it with version 101.0 stable r2207 and simupak128-350 from the nightlies site, and still won't work.

I am really sorry, Roads and mobo. :(

I'm guessing the version of the executable doesn't affect the file.  I'm still using the same executable as I was previously.  Apparently the prob I had was that the pak128 I was using was too old.  Since the one you are using is, I think, newer than my current, it is anyone's guess.  I can't imagine there is a tiny window where only the file will work.

I assume you have checked the date of the file in the pak128 directory and it is actually mobo's file there?

EDIT:  BTW, you might not want to use it anyway if you need/want signs.  It eliminates them.

Sorry, off-topic but one question.
Does a marker really protect the tree from AI player ? 

In my test, all players, include AI, can build ways on the other player's marker.
Is this a bug ?

z9999, In the game I'm playing now I don't have any AI players but the game engine is effectively growing the cities around the trees.  I really like how it is working...
