Suggestion XLN User Interface Mod for Cities XXL with extra options.

Hey guys I don't wanna **** the forum full with User Mod Requests but there is something I think it's really necessary to maintain Cities XXL popularity.

I am a user with a hiatus over 4 years and it had some reasons.
My main reason behind my long hiatus is that I've found out that Cities XXL and Cities XL with UIM have totally different interface. Many interfaces don't exists at all and it lacks possibility to use both Cities XXL and XL mods.
My old Cities XL mod map got 1.307 mods. While my new Cities XLL mod map just around 811 mods. This means 496 mods are still unable to enter Cities XXL under current interface.

I hope the User Interface Mod will make a come back with both the new Cities XXL architecture troggle bar and the UIM interface.

The few changes
+Add an additional bridge and road menu for the unsorted bridges who can't be fit into a menu.
+Increase population of standard Cities XXL buildings with 1,4x.
+Increase amouth of eglible modded maps up to a 1000. Or atleast 500 if that's a more realistic amouth.
+All maps automatically have all rescources.
+Eglible to add new road texture menu's so all the existing road retextures could be changed into additional road textures without the cost of an existing road texture.
+Able to use all eglible road textures in one map. For example English roads and US roads in one map. Default roads and German roads in the other map.
+Cheat that ends bankrupcty for every T3 and exceptional menu building you can set on and off.
+Cheat that will make you have a positive financial rent for your city.
+Eglible to use 20x20 and 40x40 km maps.
+Eglible to add multiple bus/metro/trams/train companies to compete in one city. Each with there own texture of vehicles. Simulair what you see in many countries such as in the United Kingdom, United States or Canada.
+Intercity Links can be build everywhere. Already inplanted after you installed the UIM mod like this.

Anyways thank for reading.
Thanks in advance.

NOTE: This is for Cities XXL only.


Howdy all. By now you've probably gotten your grubby little hands on Cities XXL. For those who want to upload your mods to the Steam Workshop here is how you do it.

Step 1: Open the UGCManager located in your Cities XXL folder.
D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Cities XL 2015

Mine is on a different HDD. I made a shortcut to the desktop for ease.

Step 2:

In the box that says Files, click on Add and find your patch file.

All-you-need Tech thread

What your help thread should contain:
  • Describe the problem as detailled as possible
  • Log, a file that saves all important operations of a session
How to post a log
Why should i post a log?
A log helps users to solve your crash.

How to open a .log
With the normal editor.

Which file should i choose?
The one after the crash, so the latest one.

What exactly should i post?
The last 10 or 20 lines are enough.
It would be best to upload the log somewhere and post a downloadlink.



1st step: Making hidden folders and documents visible
If you have already done that you can skip that step

open the control panel > folder options
For a better overview change your display settings to big or small symbols

852


Select the 2nd category on the top
scroll down and make hidden folders and documents visible

853


2nd step: Opening the right folder and log
For most Windows 7 and Vista user the path should be like that
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\log
XP:
Documents and Settings\AppData\local\FocusHomeInteractive\Cities XL 2011\log
Open the latest .log with editor (important: open the latest file just if you had a crash last time, if you had a regular run it won't be helpfull
rightclick - open with - editor

854


editor not mentioned?
In open with select the browse button and go to
C:\WINDOWS\System32
and open the notepad.exe

855


In the log scroll down to the end, and copy the latest 10 or 20 lines in your post/topic

How to backup your cities / correctly reinstall cxl after an unsolveable crash
1st step: Make sure your appdata folder is visable (see 1st step how to post a log)

2nd step: Backup your files
Make a copy of your Cities XL 2012/11/09 folder to backup your files
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012

Also if you want to continue some cities you should save all your mods.

3rd step: Deleting the savegames/appdata folder
delete this folder:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\offline
(This folder contains all the savegames, settings,...)

If the log links to a special city (optional step)
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\offline\solo\solosaveregionmap*
in the solo folder you can find several "solosaveregionmap*" folders which contain the city savegames, in every folder there is a file called: city.cxl
open it with the notepad and search for the line: <itm key = 'CityName' value = 'Cityname' />
(theoretically you could cheat with this file)
that way you can find out which city is in the folder and if your log is linking to a special city, delete the folder (remember, just at a startup crash)

and of course... reinstall your cxl

Solution for the lag - If it does not completely remove lag, it will certainly improve performance a lot.

Step 1: Locate GlobalSettings.cfg in Cities XXL/Data/Config/

Step 2: Open GlobalSettings.cfg

Step 3: Search for the phrase: <!-- Visibility Manager -- > and you will find this: <VisibilityEnabled>2</VisibilityEnabled> and change it to <VisibilityEnabled>0</VisibilityEnabled>.
Now when you start the game and load a city all the objects such as trees and city lights will be only drawn once so no redrawing of objects when you scroll the screen.

Modders Respectful Request

Thank you for all you wonderful building suggestions - please keep them coming. The modders here do review most suggestions.

To increase the chances of your building being made by a modder it really helps if :-

1/ You post muiltiple pictures of your building from as many angles as you can find for reference

2/ If you post an image of an existing 3d model from the internet , post a link to where the model can be downloaded for evaluation for free. If it's not freeware , then purchase the model with an appropriate usage licence and post the link.
