3.0 and mods

[tophertuttle 0]

I fired up SimCity after the update but my cities all stuck loading. I removed BagOfTricksFudged, Crossover, and RegAllRoad packages and things loaded up fine so far. Haven't tried to load a city with modded free-ways yet or putting the mods back in one at at time. 

Anyone else having problems?

Edit: Cities with modded regional freeways still load. Adding the Car crossover package didn't break anything either.

The game doesn't start for me with BagofTrix

But Crossover, DisasterUnlock, NewGarbageTruck, NewPoliceCar, ExpensesMap, HomelessTents and Parksanywhere are working.

You can use mods without bag of trix? How? Crashing for me too on 3.0. Augh.

They are just working. I put them in the SimCityData Folder. Thats it.

Here are all mods: http://ge.tt/9yxnN8g/v/0 (I dont have a copyright on this. Please delete the Link if im not allowed to post it here)

Try them out. Don't use Bag of Trix, Complete Pack or DebugEnable.

 

Currently im using: Crossover All roads, DisasterUnlock, ExpensesMap, HomelessTents, NewGarbageTruck, NewPoliceCar, Parksanywhere and RegAllRoads.

Sry for my bad English. Im German

BagOfTrix is heavily dependant on the version as it replaces an entire JavaScript file. So when maxis make a patch they change the JavaScript and then BagOfTrix override that file with the code from the previous version. So you get a mismatch with connections between the script and other parts of the game not there anymore.

Another way to put it is that if Maxis change any of the script code, even if its irrelevant to BoT.

I know my Expense Map mod is much more resilient because it just inserts a tiny but of code. So it will only break if Maxis change the code relevant to the mod.

When I get my computer running again I will confirm ExpensesMap

When I get my computer running again I will confirm ExpensesMap and see about making a more resilient BoT-type mod

Credit to warrior for his govt code, should make it more resistant to patches.

To fix the Gamebrowser, open up SimCity_App.package, look for 0x67771f5c-0x40464200-0x696447ea,

You're looking for:

simcity.cMyGamesUIHandler.JoinTab.prototype.LoadRegionsToWindow = function (a, b, c) {
    var d = this.mControlIds,
    e = this.FindControlByID(d.JOIN_REGION_RESULTS_WINDOW),
    f,
    g = this.mRegionTileCoordinates.XPos,
    h = this.mRegionTileCoordinates.YPos;
    "boolean" == typeof b && !0 == b && (e.DestroyChildren(), h = g = 0, this.mLoadedRegions = {},
    b = this.FindControlByID(d.SELECT_GAME_TO_JOIN_TEXT), b.SetVisibility(!0), h += b.mTop, b.SetPosition((e.mWidth - b.mWidth) / 2, h), h += 10);
    for (var b = simcity.gUIToolbox.GetKeys(this.mLoadedRegions).length, i = 0, j = a.length; i < j; i++) {
        var k = a[i];
        if (!this.mLoadedRegions[k.id]) {
            this.mLoadedRegions[k.id] = k.name;
            var m = gUIManager.LoadAndCacheLayout(this.mPageLayouts.REGION_ITEM, e);
            m.SetPosition(g, h);
            f || (f = Math.floor(e.mWidth / m.mWidth));
            m.FindControlByID(d.UNDERLYING_REGION_TILE_FILE).regionID = k.id;
            m.FindControlByID(d.GRID_REGION_NAME).SetRawText(k.name);
            var l = simcity.cGameEntryConstants.kTemplateRegionTileImageNamePrefix + k.template.name + ".png";
            m.FindControlByID(d.GRID_REGION_TEMPLATE_IMAGE).SetWindowImage(l);
            l = m.FindControlByID(d.GRID_REGION_TEMPLATE_IMAGE);
            simcity.cMyGamesUIHandler.DrawAvatarsOnRegionTile(l, k);
            var l = null,
            n;
            for (n in k.claimedBoxes) var o = k.claimedBoxes[n],
            l = !l ? o.updated : Math.max(o.updated, l);
            simcity.gMyGamesUIHandler.SetTileIcons(m, k);
            l && (l = simcity.gUIToolbox.PrettyDateUtcMs(l), m.FindControlByID(d.GRID_REGION_LASTPLAYED).SetLocaleText(this.LocaleStrings.RegionLastActivityDateText, {
                lastregionactivitydate: l

            k = {
                regioncreationdate: simcity.gUIToolbox.PrettyDateUtcMs(k.created)

    for (var b = simcity.gUIToolbox.GetKeys(this.mLoadedRegions).length, i = 0, j = a.length; i < j; i++) {
        if (count == -1) count = 0;

                        break;
                    }

hello wavecom

 

can you tell me please, where can I find what are the different mod?

thank you very much

Any chance you could post that file fixed for us to download?  Thats a great find!

[ProcsKalone 294]

I haven't been able to get it working from an external file though I didn't spend too long trying. Maybe someone else can have a go at it and I'll see what I can do in a day or so if no one has.
