So I guess this works now?

incompatible items are not easy to find when searching to unsubscribe from past saves.

Loading Screen Mod temporary fix for Airports DLC
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2731207699

* temporary *
fixed version

The mod appears to be disabled, even at the tested version. Mod option says "Major game update, mod is inactive" somewhere these lines.

it does not work with the updated dlcs

'last online 211 days ago' ... eek!!

it does not work with airports dlc

thanks

this mod same settings no loading screen change..... all i did was change em.... what did i do wrong

Upload a patch for this mod (you still need LSM installed and enabled) to support the new CCPs:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2493872047
I will remove it as soon as thale5 updates the mod.

Thanks

@New Super Mario Bros. Wii The mods are basically the same, most of the time, including now.
When I release updates or new features, [Test] gets them first. [Test] also creates more comprehensive log files (output_log.txt).

@kian.zarrin The non-test version says:
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("LoadingScreenMod")]
Also the namespace is LoadingScreenMod. I wonder if you are using some non-official version, people sometimes upload those.

Is this better than the normal Loading Screen Mod?

I accidently had both versions of the mod enabled this whole time lol. Didn't notice any issues. I'm not sure why I was subscribed to the test version in the first place.
Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for the work!

@thale5 but the non-test version is LoadOrderMod and more importantly, the namespace it uses is LoadOrderMod.

@kian.zarrin The assembly name has always been LoadingScreenModTest.

maybe we can merge it with LoadOrderMod to create a LoadingManagerMod

why the assembly is called LoadOrderModTest?
Its hard to patch LSM when assembly name changes.

@thale5 -- I understand now. Thanks for explaining. I like understanding how things work. It makes me a better player and able to help others. Cheers!

@LemonsterOG It's not that bad. The classifications are saved in custom asset files like you assumed. But LSM does not keep that information in its internal data structures. The information is available but it is currently elsewhere.

@thale5 -- Ohhhh. I have zero (less than zero) experience with asset creation. Because of how the game classifies assets, I just assumed the classification was built into each asset. So you had to add all prefab's classifications manually as a reference for LSM to use? Geez. There's gotta be a way to extract that info from the assets, but the issue there is, it would slow the loading time if it had to dynamically read each asset's file. Did I get that correct? I'm a fast learner, but sometimes I miss things.

@LemonsterOG I can see the value of that with many assets. Let me think about this. Currently, LSM does not maintain those classifications for custom assets (it does maintain them for standard prefabs because of the skipping feature).

@thale5 -- Suggestion -- For those of us who have an exorbitant amount of assets, It would be soooo helpful if the LSM report "buildings" section in both "used in game" and "not used in game" were grouped into their classifications (i.e., residential low density, commercial high density, transportation bus, electricity, education, etc.) Thanks for considering this.

@Antisoda --

Now, where in my brain did I hide my C# knowledge… :)

@Lemonster -- No worries. I had a hunch. My fault for always wanting to be on the bleeding edge, eh? :)

@Antisoda -- My bad. I didn't realize we were posting on the [test] version of LSM. It only works on the main version of this mod, which is what I use. My apologies for the confusion.

@LemonsterOG -- For me, that made Loading Screen Mod not work and display a blank screen. Tried both options.

@Antisoda -- You can do that with the Change Loading Image 2 mod.

Awesome mod. First to be installed, always. Just wondered - Is it possible to keep Skylines' background image while loading, or expand the pool of images used? Just seeing the standard map images gets boring after a while. :)

Sry not palying anymore, too many bugs with sunset harbor. Thx for the answer.

@Nidael Please open your output_log.txt and search for 'skip' to find out what is going on. The mod has not changed, neither has the game.

Skip suddenly stopped working, it says it skips but it dosnt, just ignores the txt.

@NOiZE All new development, if any, will be in Assets Browser. It's structured and versatile whereas the Report is fixed.

@thale5, yes both are usefull, the asset browser is not so usfeful in this context it gets too complicated too fast.
Preferable there would be a Asset report and a "Workshop ID report"

@NOiZE I think having both would be useful.
It's doable with Assets Browser, less so with Assets Report.

For the purpose of unsubbing from stuff, it would be really helpful if really the loading report was workshopitem based, instead of asset based.

Thanks

@thale5, I found that reseubbing to certain dependancy mods sometimes are the only reason why it crashes. Now, this time thx to boformer, I could funnel down to Klyte framework and that was the reason for the crash with CitiesHarmony
Finally fixed! Thx to you too!

@Deeheks Thanks for letting me know!

Boformer found that it's his new Harmony dependancy mod that needs some more work. I'll wait for a fix. Thanks a lot sir

@Deeheks The vast majority of mods are inactive when disabled (including this mod).
Technically, it is possible for any mod to run even when disabled, and some mods do that.

It should be relatively straightforward to narrow down the mod search. First disable 50% of your mods, then load New Game, look at your log, and repeat until you now which mod it is.

Thanks for looking into this thale5
after trying to load without LSMT, I'm gettting some more clues in the log. Aside from crashing because of running out of memory, I got this line in the log that mentions "DMD", but a different method than previously:

0x0000000039631CBA (Mono JIT Code) (wrapper dynamic-method) ColossalFramework.Packaging.Package/Asset:DMD<DMD<Instantiate_Patch1>?-185436928::Instantiate_Patch1> (ColossalFramework.Packaging.Package/Asset)

Sorry for spamming comments

Do mods that you keep in the folder but aren't activated have any effect at all?

@Deeheks I found the reason. It is a mod, don't know which one, but there is a nice clue. This text in the log:

DynamicFontRenderer.DMD<DMD<RenderLine_Patch0>

shows a mod that refers to itself as DMD and that applies a patch called RenderLine_Patch0.

That patch fails in loading screen and also in game.

DMD appears several times in the log. When DMD disappears from the log, you have disabled that mod and the problems should be gone.

I recently cannot load any game at all. [LSMT] Cannot generate font mesh error starts to spam log on startup. NullRef at ColossalFramework.UI.UIDynamicFont/DynamicFontRenderer.ParseColor (ColossalFramework.UI.UIMarkupToken) <0x000c8>

I can't put my finger on it. What does trigger that error ?
Output log:

Thanks!

@shanttk91 Like blueshift1980 said. I haven't released new features recently, so the mods are the same, except for logging.

shanttk91 - scroll up a bit. Did you read the description?

whats the difference between the testing mod and the actual mod? does the actual mod load games faster just wondering? lol
