I can't seem to open the exe file. any fixes?

Having some problems getting the day/night system to work. I have it set up to pull music from different collections at day and night (no schedule), but when I run Cities, the radio doesn't play music at all.

I can also upload the .json file. I'm guessing there's an error somewhere in the setup, but I'm not sure what, I've checked and double checked the .json file

Hey, I made a radio and I see it in the mod manager but not in the radio selection ingame

After you make a radio, it will not show in the content manager if you use Skyve v3.3.0 [Beta]
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953447919 .

You have to unsub the Third-party mod manager in order for the custom radio to load.

This is just a note for those who use Skyve

Hello ! I followed all the radio creation steps but the radios no longer show up in the mod manager. They also don't appear when you download them from the workshop.

@ExoFury So I re-uploaded the Final Fantasy VII pack that disappeared a while ago to get a working copy of it. It played perfectly. & then I found all the music files in their full lengths, so I updated my mod & it still worked perfectly. here is my upload.

But weirdly before the new DLC, I noticed the FFVII pack was no longer showing in my music mod. It literally just stopped showing up. I changed nothing after the update, & again the update was perfect. I'm using Load Order Tool & my local copy is enabled.

Do you have any idea why it might not be showing up for me & how I could fix it?? All local files are still in tact, they have not changed for months, & people are still subscribing to the FFVII mod (249 now) & are not complaining it's not working, so it must still be functioning for them...

@ExoFury well, it already was not working and seemed to have been dead for a few years, and when I reached out to the owner the next day it was gone. But I had a local backup saved and was able to get it working through your mod.

I'm considering uploading it, but copyright stuff makes me nervous.

@ctcatuga How come it was deleted? :O

Thank you for this! I was able to create a Final Fantasy VII playlist that was deleted from the workshop. Fantastic mod!!

Thanks for the info/feedback. I'll remove the schedule as you suggested (I prefer shuffle over a broadcast schedule) and I'll...just hope for the best.

The "crash" might be a bug which, unfortunately, I cannot address since I'm not the original developer of the app nor the main mod and nor is the guy who hosts the main mod on the Steam Workshop :(
Our support is thus very limited to what we know of how the app and main mod works. I suggested the removal of the schedule as I knew that is used for playing the content in a certain order and not to have it shuffled so I guess that is why it partly worked.
The "crash" might be a thing from the main mod since I kinda also experienced it with some of my own music packs which have no context or schedule whatsoever. After a while I just had my stations stop playing the next songs.

Interesting fact. I did as you asked and removed my entire schedule (I kept the contexts, though) And while it DOES force my tracks to be random, my station seems to "crash" once I hit the 'next' button some 3-4 times. The station will simply stop playing anything at all. I don't know if this also happens if I just let things play, I haven't had time to test that yet.
Interesting development regardless!

@Lithia Thank you for the screenshots. The config looks fine to me... But here is an idea: have you tried removing the items in the schedule completely? Does it work and if it does, how does it regarding playing the content of the collections?
I really should to a timed music pack too to have more insight on this features of the tool XD

Hello again. I do think that this is more of a base-mod issue, than something the GUI can solve. I appreciate your willing to give it a look-over regardless: 4 screens of my setup in this editor. Nothing too spectacular, I'm sure. If you want, I can provide the JSON file as well, though it might be pointless. Thanks again.

Hello again. @ExoFury I will take some screens ASAP, but I'll be busy for most of tomorrow, so I might take a while. Fair heads-up.

Hy @Lithia ! I must admit, I haven't really played with the day/night cycle or other events. As far as I know, the playback should be shuffled. If its not, then it sounds like a problem of the main CSL Music Mod rather than the Station Editor. Tho, can you provide print screens of the configuration? Maybe I can come up with some ideas.

Hello, the mod is working fine for me (thank you), but I was wondering: is there a way to shuffle the playback?
I have a simple daytime- and nighttime programming, but daytime always begins with the same song, and then the same commercials follow. Is there a way to randomize this?

@dariogualtieri I've created a thread for your problem on the mod's discussions forum. Let's continue there: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2731443757/3193621835053459698/

It's ok?

@dariogualtieri I did see those errors before and as I said. I need to see the music pack you created. How it looks, where you put it and how its folders and file look because I have a feeling one, or some of them are incorrect.

This is what's happening

Sorry for the late reply?

@twilightramblings Hmm.. I never ran into this error. Can you tell me when exactly you get the error? Also do you have an extra drive like D:\ you could work in instead of C:\ ? And like move all needed files including the png to that drive

Hey, I'm trying to create a music station and all of it looks pretty doable but I got this error "java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\sophi\Music\Cities Music Packs\Sunny Breeze\Sunny_Breeze.png (Access is denied)". It happened with the png in the folder I was saving to or in my Downloads folder. I tried changing the permissions of the Station Editor to have read and write permission (it had restricted permissions). But neither worked.

I mean the "playlist" folder structure. Not this tool..
The music pack that you made... where did you export it? How do the files you exported look like?

I didn't understand what to print. I have the mod in "program x86-Steam-Steamapps-workshop-content-255710-2731443757" and the files I have are CSLMusicModStationEditor.dll, exe, jar, sh and readme.txt. I made the playlist, it's not on steam. Anyway I followed this tutorial https://youtu.be/7y3NsYLUQOA

Can you show me a print screen with the whole folder and file structure of the mod? Also, is it published on the Workshop or somewhere I could subscribe to it and check it out myself?

I followed all the steps: why are you giving me this?

https://ibb.co/NLQgKgZ

The playlist file is not in the content manager

No problem! Glad you managed to figure it out

OMGOSH I figured it out YAYY. Ok so my dumb a** had deleted a folder I needed. I went to the wiki for the original and downloaded the examples and realized my mistake and fixed it now it works. I FINALLY get it and shouldn't have any more issues. Thank you so much for helping me ExoFury :D

Ok I'll work on figuring it out. Thank you for helping me.

Whoa.. you lost me.. To be honest I never worked with the mix channel... I only created separate stations and managed to update when necessary using the method described bellow in comments and only worked with two folders (my local mod folder and those for workshop as I copy-pasted the files there and thus they automatically appeared in the workshop staging area when I went to update).

thank you for responding. so 3 different files and not just local+workshop (the files with the numbers) How do I make my station a standalone station again? It was working on the mix channel and now it's not working.The songs are there it just quits playing music. Someone posted yesterday on the main mod page and it turned out to be a mod I don't have that mod though.

The workshop staging area contains the files that Steam will upload to the Workshop. So, yeah... they must look exactly how you intend your mod to look when its published.

Hello ExoFury I have a question. I did exactly what you said-or at least I think I did. I've been updating and adding new content to an existing station. It's working BUT it only works for the CSL Mix station and isn't a stand alone station/channel like it was before I updated it. Also does the workshop staging area files need to be changed too or just the local and steam workshop? For some reason workshop staging area keeps coming up when I am double checking the mod. I can't figure out why I am struggling to grasp this concept :(

Yes. You do.. If you plan to go public with your music packs you should subscribe to them to make sure they are ok and can be used even without the need of update... you can keep them turned off but for testing purposes is better to sub and test.

So, I have to subscribe to my own radio station just to update it?

@martianinferno98
Yes, as I explained to someone on the main CSL Music Mod page:

"You need to realize something... When you create a station with the app, save it and all and export it.. It will put the mod into your local folder: \AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods
If you upload the mod on the workshop then it will be at {your drive}:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\255710\{mod id}
So.. to update a mod, you first need to work it out in the Station Editor, export the updated Music Pack to your local folder then copy everything from the mod folder to the workshop folder and then you can update it in the Content Manager"

Is there a way to update your existing radio station?

UPDATE: added a video tutorial for those having trouble with creating the radio stations:

https://youtu.be/7y3NsYLUQOA

I can show you via Discord

The radio station

CSL Music Mod or the Radio Station?

@martianinferno98

I would rather like to know if it appears in the content manager? Or did you mean it does not appear in the content manager mods list?
If it appears, could you publish it to workshop, set as private and let me take a look?

I do have CSL Music Mod installed, because I have other radio stations on the list. I can supply screenshots if it helps

@martianinferno98

Do you also have the CSL Music Mod?
Does the radio station appear in the content manager?

My custom radio station is not showing up on the list
