[DEPRECATED] Tree & Vehicle Props Patch

-------------------
This mod patches Elektrix's Tree and Vehicle Props mod(TVP) to reduce loading time and memory usage, fix the vehicle prop render distance issue, and add Find It 2 support. Elektrix has retired from modding in July 2020.

This mod won't corrupt your save and you can unsubscribe it anytime. As long as TVP is still subscribed and enabled, the generated props won't disappear.

- Change how the game and TVP handle vehicle prop illumination map to reduce loading time and memory usage

- Set the render distance of generated vehicle props to be the same value as the original vehicles, so large props like airplanes and ships won't disappear easily when you zoom out

- Make Find It 2's custom & vanilla filters work with the props generated by TVP. Find It 2 will also create new prop filter tabs for generated vehicle and tree props.

- Patch the "Remove tree prop sway" issue in TVP. With this patch mod, that option in TVP will only remove sway from custom tree props. The original trees will not be affected

- Add options to skip prop conversion for vanilla vehicles and trees. You can also customize the list of trees and vehicles to convert or to skip(see below). This patch mod now has its own mod settings page

- Reduce error message logging in TVP

Extended Managers Library:
If you are using EML, the vehicle props generated by this mod will have unwanted light effects when the game time is in the night cycle. Quistar is planning to implement similar features of this mod into EML and Prop Anarchy.


Remember to enable it in the content manager. Find "TV Props Patch" in the mod list.

The game doesn't allow props to have submesh. This limitation is not caused by this patch mod or the original TVP mod. Even if you don't use this patch mod, the issue still exists. Aircraft props will lose their rotors and propellers, and cars with semi-transparent windows will look glitchy. Some asset creators will make a "building" version of their vehicle with submesh as a work-around. Use those buildings.

You can use Sineptor²o's Propeller and Rotor prop pack to add propellers and rotors to those generated aircraft props.

Some asset creators choose to bundle the prop version together with the vehicle/tree version, so the original TVP mod fails to create a prop with the same name and causes the "Duplicate Prefab Name" error after your game is loaded. This patch mod will automatically skip those vehicles and trees to avoid the errors.

About 150 workshop vehicles. Only ~10 workshop trees. 32GB RAM.

If you get this error, it means you sub to this mod but you are not using the original TVP mod. This mod is a patch. It won't work without the original TVP mod.

In mod settings you can choose to skip all vanilla trees and/or vehicles. You can also choose what vanilla/workshop assets to skip by following the steps below:

1. Start a new game or load your saved game with the mod enabled.

2. Open the TVPropPatchConfig.xml file using any text editor. The mod will keep track of every trees and vehicles that has ever been loaded in this xml file(including assets that are deleted or no longer subscribed). If you don't know where the xml file is, the mod settings page will show the path to the file.

3. In the xml file, you will see something like this:

<SkippedVehicleEntries>
<SkippedEntry Name="Tractor" Skipped="false" />
<SkippedEntry Name="2379603801.2012 Toyota Sienna_Data" Skipped="false" />
</SkippedVehicleEntries>

<SkippedTreeEntries>
<SkippedEntry Name="Tree2" Skipped="false" />
<SkippedEntry Name="2267982040.Murraya Bush Tiny_Data" Skipped="false" />
</SkippedTreeEntries>

You can skip an asset by changing "false" to "true". If you want to skip most assets, use the "replace all" feature in your text editor.

Notice: Do not go back to the game and toggle the "skip vanilla trees/vehicles" checkboxes after you open the xml file. Otherwise your new changes will be lost. Toggle the checkboxes before you open the xml file.

4. Save the xml file. Quit the game(exit to desktop). Next time the mod will automatically skip every asset marked as Skipped="true". Already placed props will disappear.

To reset the configuration, just delete the xml file and repeat the steps.
