Use "Image Overlay" by Lanceris

Doesn't work. Any ideas?

Incompatible with latest update.

works perfect , and the pink-purple square is just that you dont have the original cities skyline but the cracked

Anyone having luck getting ahold of the developer? Mod still doesnt work, just a pink-purple square instead of the overlay

Not working anymore..

Did this stop working suddenly for anybody?

As this is not currently working with the current version of the game - it has been marked incompatible.

Updated version here

Would also be willing to donate to get this up and running again. It was an excellent Mod.

If anyone gets in touch with him can you let him know about our proposal here?

@Manforce Same here, I would happily give a donation to see this updated!

@Manforce: Definitely would contribute to get this one going again. I was just about ready to get Moscow and Berlin going when the pink square thing happened.

Would be happy to donate to the creator of this mod to get it updated. Anyone else happy to contribute so we could make it worth his while and get this sorted out?

Please....I need this mod.

Looking into this more, something to do with material or shader stuff in the code that makes it magenta/purple. Unfortunately, I don't know much about C# coding or using Unity engine (Cities Skylines is based on the Unity engine) to correct it myself.

But when I decompiled it with dotPeek, some changes might have to be done under the LoadingExtension public class as it has code referring to textures and materials and shaders.

nothing but a bright pink square for me.....

Same here, trying to build London, will be next to impossible without this wonderful mod.

Same problem... :=((

Yes this game has lost a lot if this mod isn't working.

The game will have lost its main fun factor if this mod isn't going to be updated. :(

ive got the same..

Same issue, really hope this mod gets updated.

I have the same issue.. image is purple in-game...

Agree with QuantumEffect. It's purple :(

@QuantumEffect +1

After the Natural Disasters update, the .PNG files now come up purple...

Hey there! I used your Mod with great success so far. I used a .PNG with 8243x8234 pixels and it still worked (even your text says 4096x4096 max). Is there a way you can make it handle even better resolutions? Because i use Maperitive (OSM Mapnik) and want to see all shops and most importantly all Doctors and hospitals...but for that i need Zoom lvl15 minimum: That gives me a 20k x 20k .PNG....and that didnt work...

(Correction: It still works fine in-game, it only fails in the map editor for some reason).

Huh... This mod used to work for me when I last played (6 months ago?), but now it doesn't anymore. I've unsubscribed and subscribed, made sure it was activated in the mods menu, no luck. The image I'm using is a 4096x4096 overlay.png in the correct folder. Nothing shows up in-game, no matter what I press, not even the red questionmark people have mentioned.

Love this mod, but can I make a suggestion. About to set the Opacity to 25,50,75,100
This would allow to see though the image rather then rase it up or down. Easyer for editing terrian outlines and also roads. Thanks for a cool mod. :)

If I dont have a NUMPAD... how'da hell can I move the map??

Hey, can you set the alpha value of the overlay to 0.75 or something so it is possible to see your work and the map at the same time? also a tool for importing height-maps would be mondo helpful too. =)

doesn't work 4 me. some red question mark instead pic. (is there resolution-limit thing?)

BTW... This is a GREAT Mod. I hope everone who uses it rates it up.

There is a minor issue I'd like to see fixed if this ever gets updated again. The overlay is NOT refreshed if one loads one map over another. Several times I've loaded the old version of a map only to discover while I was trying to fit the overlay to the map that I'd loaded an older version. I When I load the proper map, the overlay from the previousload still appears.

djera you need to make certain that the png file you create is exactly square. I do that in MS Paint. I crop the image to any size where the x and y are the same. Then the overlay works great.

I wish that lowering and raising it were a bit less sensitive though. (the zero and period keys) Does anyone know if that's configurable somewhere?

When I load the image, it changes aspecy from 16:9 to 1:1. How do I fix that?

GOD. Finally, I was find The Files folder.
if you had modify route when you game install, The Files folder find at that route. I'm forgot that I chose (D:) drive.
by the way, is this mod impossible when loaded save files?(playing and map editor) It does not work.
thx.

HI is there away of making it so that you can resize the image then have a button to save the size and placement of the image so that everytime you load in the game you click a button and load the last placement and size

@mizrael77
Try to activate Numpad. So that they are working like Numbers.

image control keys do not work anymore. I can only toggle the image on/off.
Everything worked fine last time (a couple of months ago so with the previous patch I think)

Wish that when you load a map the overlay will stay where you left it when you closed the save

on the description where it says overlay.png does that mean the image that you put in, is it only in the files folder and not a created folder that you call overlay.png, just could someone describe it better please like copy and paste the directions you used

Any way how to save the overlay? Now everytime I re open the map i need to set it back correctly again

I would love to store the current settings and have them automatically loaded when i restart the game.

Really good but a bit too basic. It needs several new features, such as:

A key to reset the angle to 90 degrees if you accidentally twist it or just went to reset it
A key to automatically scale/expand it to fit the map (all 81 tiles) perfectly
A way to toggle between several other images. Maybe you want to use a road map for a little while, and then switch to a satellite image for example.

I have no numpad!

For me it works, just the image is squished (was a 16:9 image, squished to 4:3 I believe) :/

Is the Mod working? because i believe i did everything correctly and it did not show up in game

I took the picture in the right place. I called it overlay.png. When i want to open a map in the Map-editor with the picture, theres the map with a picture with a big red question mark.
