Bug report
Hey Alterran,

I have reported this bug in the description of the mod.

@Alterran. Hey man, used your mod and is simple superb. Very good indeed.

Can you help with one thing? I can't see the extra buttons for control panel in the options bar. In my game it only shows the default "road" buttons and the "default" behavior button. In your video there are 2 more in the start and end of the options bar, these 2 don't show to me.

I'm using Barrier Placer mod and Tree Brush and Tree Pencil plugins form the Extra Landscaping mod by @BloodyPenguin.

Thank you.

But after it I went into the game and found that the buttons are there, they are simple not rendering. Seems that the issue is affecting the option panel too.

Look:

They are there but simple don't render.

Thank you for the great MOD.
But I think there is a conflict between it and the roads, plz check it.
because after subscribing to this mod, its not possible create 90 degree road!

Thank you all so much for submitting/confirming bug reports!

@Blackdragonbird, Your description and images were PERFECT and helped me get right to the source of the problem.

Everyone:
I'm pretty sure I fixed both bugs now in the latest update.
Let me know if it fixed the issues for you, and/or if you encounter any other problems.

Cheers!

Your knowledge in coding is amazing, hope to see more amazing and well made mods like this in the future.

Thanks for the update btw, works great.

Hi Alterran. I have a similar bug to the above where the options icon and fence icon don't render, however they also are unable to be clicked. When trying to place a line of props, the behaviour is simply the normal behaviour of placing one prop at a time. In addition, when I close the prop panel, and then reopen it, the PLT buttons are all missing. I have a tree brush mod installed, however disabling it doesn't appear to make any difference

@Alterran, seems to be working now.

Thank you for the fix. =)

Hi Alterran,

really great mod. Thank you.
But the bug is still there. Those extras buttons are not working at least for me. They don't showing up.
Judazzz 2 Jun, 2016 @ 10:38am 
Yup, the missing buttons have re-appeared for me as well - many thanks for the quick fix, Alterran!
Lord Morpheus 2 Jun, 2016 @ 3:03pm 
Ok I am just not smart enough to use your mod :P Those extras buttons only appear when you are NOT in single placement mode. Seems logical...

So everything is working fine, thx for the fix ;)
Alterran  [developer] 2 Jun, 2016 @ 4:24pm 
Thanks for the bug reports!

Hmmm, quite strange.
The buttons appear for me when I test the PLT mod from the workshop.

@duffyr, That is very strange. It sounds like maybe an error is happening when the mod tries to load the buttons and UI and it's preventing the rest of the mod from working. I'm not sure atm. I'll look into it and see what I can find.

@Lord Morpheus + @Impact, Glad to hear it's working for you (:

@Judazzz, Are they still not showing up when you select PLT Straight/Curved/Freeform? And are the options checkboxes appearing in the Options tab of the Control Panel?

I subscribed just now, i am missing the extra buttons as per other reports above. I can see the mod in my mod list in the game main menu, and it is enabled, but there is no PLT in Options. I can see the files in folder 694512541 (CimTolls.dll, PropLineToolv1.dll and a png). I use Network Extensions and Road Color changer, maybe they clash? Network Extensions uses the same CimTools.dll in your folder. Any advice on how i can get it to work?

Hi,

Firstly thank you for this amazing mod.

I just wanted to confirm that I am experiencing a similar issue.

I originally had both this and the barrier line tool mod activated (I forgot to turn the barrier line tool off before loading the game), I drew some tree lines and a few other things with PLT, which worked perfectly without issue throughout the whole play session.

When loading the game the following day the FPS dropped to an eye watering 5 to 6 from a nominal 40 - which was bizarre as seemingly nothing had been changed since the last play session. I closed the game, turned off the barrier line tool and the FPS problem was resolved - but now I have an issue where the road line tool buttons appear when the tree and prop menu is open, but when pressed, do nothing, and then when I close the prop tools menu and reopen it again the road tool buttons are no longer there.

It's more than likely that I have caused a conflict somewhere down the line, I don't know how to fix it or identify the root cause.

This isn't a complaint or anything along those lines - I just wanted to report my findings from what I have experienced.

Thanks again for this fantastic mod - really is a game changer!
Alterran  [developer] 4 Jun, 2016 @ 2:34am 
@Rexxyboy, Thanks for the bug report and for the extra info!

This mod has no main-menu options. So you won't see an entry for it in the main menu Options. I also have Network Extensions and can still see the buttons.

1. Do the buttons appear for you if you select Straight/Curved/Freeform modes?

2. If you hover over the spots where the buttons are missing (Fence mode, show Control Panel), do they still display tooltips?

3. Do the checkboxes appear in the Options tab of the PLT Control Panel for you?


If you're willing to do some additional testing (and you're running Windows):

If you've tested 1,2,3 and they still don't appear, try moving all of the contents of folder 694512541 into a new folder in your local mods folder:
On Windows: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods\PropLineTool_v1

If you can't navigate to the folder, You may need to enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders" in File Explorer->"View" Tab->Options->Change Folder and Search Options->"View" Tab->Select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives". (You can disable it after testing if you want)

Make sure you moved the contents of 694512541 and didn't copy them. Otherwise you will have two instances of PropLineTool in the Content Manager.

Then start the game and enable Prop Line Tool. It should list author as "Unknown".
Then either start a new game or new asset (or load your current map if you wish).

Then let me know if the problem persists.




I haven't been able to recreate the problem myself, so I'm trying to figure out what may be causing it. I hope it's just that you haven't selected a different draw mode. Because the buttons not appearing for Single placement mode wasn't explained very clearly by me.

@kingpinn, You're welcome (:

Thanks for your bug report and info! It's very helpful to have information about the behavior of this mod, as I cannot possibly test all possible cases.

That FPS issue sounds strange. But it sounds like you resolved it. If it reappears let me know.

Are you using any tree brush mods and/or any mods that modify the placement of trees and/or props?

I'll see what I can find out.

Thanks again!

EDIT: Also, by road tool buttons, do you mean the ones for PLT to draw props/trees or the vanilla ones to draw roads?
