Cities XL 2012 Mods

[soltangris 42]

I'm starting this topic to make everyone aware that Cities XL is not dead - far from it, in fact. The fact is that nobody bothered to research and list all mods made in the last three months, and besides none of them are hosted here on the STEX (since there is no CXL section). Most, in fact 99% of them are available on XLNation.net.

I'm asking a moderator to add this list to the modding index, please.

CitiesXL 2012 Mods:

XL Nation User Interface mod - adds new menu buttons and coding support for many other mods

LA Union Metro Station - the same as the one in the Hollywood map, but fully functional as Metro station

Ski Pack Expander - unlockes the remaining Ski buildings, ski tracks and roads

Bouygues Hospital Complex - unlocks the complex and one additional health building

Beach pack roads and bridges - unlocks the Beach roads, fixes the broken stilt road transitions

Institute of Technology - unlocks an amazing technology research center

University of Applied Sciences - unlocks this Education building

Over Water Placement mods - there are a whole lot of these, allowing building over the water of roads, plazas, buildings, etc. With the new XLN UIM mod, all of them can be toggled on/off

No Collision box mods - again, a big group, allowing to merge buildings together to form interesting urban neighborhoods, while preserving original building functionality. Again, XLN UIM mod allows to toggle these on and off.

Bug fixes mods

The Annoying CXL 2012 Bug fix Pack - fixes a N of problems, such as residences not connecting to roads, buildings overlapping others, new special offices not functioning as intended

Beach and Ski residences fix - fixes the broken residences from the Ski, Beach and American packs. Note that the same fixes (excluding the American residences) are also found in the CLM mod, and the Ski Expander mod.

It's worthwhile noting that the modding activity is continuing - there are more NEXL mods in the pipeline, such as the Waterways (adding Ferry transport and Water Leisure options, as well as Harbor waterways), Rail (finally fixing the Railroad network), Airways; RHM 2, which will make it much easier to construct customizable highways; There is a Health mod almost ready, which will improve the Health simulation....

That's it for now, if I have forgotten a mod, please notify me

For XL2011, I had a mod that allowed me to upgrade roads to other types. For instance, I could build a road and then make it a two lane avenue if traffic got heavier. Or i could take a 2 lane avenue and make it a large avenue. Is there one like this for 2012? It was so nice to be able to do that for some exterior roads if you realized later that you wanted it to be a bigger road.

[soltangris 42]

Well, I would suggest you look at the latest Pharmist experiments; I think he updated most of them for CXL 2012....

And if it isn't there, I can't help you , sorry

ok,I a problem with xl nation

[gary_wagner 0]

Is XLNATION ever online? I have been trying to get in all day and all I get is the message that the site has exceeded its maximum users.

[snick25 384]

I get those messages a lot nowadays... basically it means there are more people trying to connect to the site than it can handle. Plus there are some problems in the programming and such. It will eventually be fixed, at least I hope. For now, persistence is key. Sometimes I have to refresh a page five times, once every few minutes, to get it to load. Evenings (in Europe and the U.S.) are usually better.

It isn't a "horrible site", but it is hosted on a shitty server. The owner is looking for a new one currently.

The Xlnations downloading feature is completely broken. What happened to their website? Are these mods or the ones on the site hosted anywhere else?

None of the links for XLNation work. Something happened to their website or something. 

[snick25 384]

XL Nation has been migrated to new software. Unfortunately, the old forums are gone, but it's for the best in the long-term.

 

The new site should be crash-free. All the problems it had in the past are history. 

 

As for broken links, many links to the forums, old XLEX, etc will no longer work, but the link to the front page should still be working.
