Here is the random tree rotation mod!

[boformer 3,169]

You may remember this thread I started ago. I showed off a prototype for a mod that randomly rotates the trees in Cities: Skylines. It was not possible to rotate the LODs of the trees, so I did not release it:

I changed my mind! I think this might be useful for some people who want to take nice close-up shots, and the transition between LOD and detailed model is not so bad.

It applies the rotation to any tree just before the rendering, and can safely be enabled or disabled at any time. It also affects trees which were placed before the mod was installed.

hello,

 

I have a problem with tree, when I reload savegame, randomly, some tree have scaling problem and multiply as you can see on screenshot.

any idea ?

[dedgren 830]

I've planted over a million trees and have never seen that issue, namspopof.  Is it specific to that sort of tree and, if so, which tree is it?

Is it only a graphical issue, or are there multiple tree instances??

It is impossible that the random tree rotation mod causes it.

Probably it is caused by "Unlimited trees" or some other mod.

It's not graphic, i need to bulldoze 10 tree in same place.

The problem is scaling tree fit together.

Thank you for your quick response

You are not the only one with this problem. Try to find out what causes it.

[namspopof 117]

I search but not find at this time. :/

I am 99% sure that the Unlimited Trees mod causes this. Maybe another mod that is broken blocks the loading and saving.

And how i can read debug file ?

I need mod tool ?

Or SOS mod ?

Its is very likely an error in the mod code. The only way to fix it is to uninstall the mod.

Any idea how\why you suspect that is? Doesn't make any sense to me give what UT mod does and doesn't do (it doesn't create trees that don't exist in the save, it also doesn't save trees that don't exist, and the detoured treemanager function don't do things the original doesn't - with the exception of higher caps on the while's and for's ), but I'm open to listening\investigating if either of you have a lead.

namspopof - If you want to publish or upload the save file somewhere (along with which of those mods the save file actually requires to load properly), I'm happy to take a look and see if I can repo this or where the problem may be).

BTW that log suggests there were no errors on map load, at least with extracting and setting up the trees. Your using setting x5 is that correct?

[namspopof 117]

Hi,

I'll make you the file soon, for the mod attached, you have the list in one collection.

Thanks.

I created a possible fix for the flickering issues and made the mod public again: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=556784825

I'm looking for a few testers. Is anyone willing to test the new version for me? I want to make sure that it works correctly. If the flickering still occurs, see if it also happens when you disable all other mods (not assets).

[Turjan 1,048]

Hmm, your picture is with palm trees. The flickering issue is only with vanilla trees, and most prominently with the ones on building lots.

I have only done half the test so far. The flickering is still present when the far LOD kicks in on lots when the sun stands higher, but I have only tested this with my mods on so far. I'll see if I can do a test without mods soon (I hope the "disable" now works properly after the game update).

[Turjan 1,048]

Actually, I have to correct myself. My apologies for the first feedback, but for whatever reason, I still had an old version subscribed in addition to your new one, although I didn't see it in the mod panel anymore. I only noticed this when I went through the alphabetical subscription list. After getting rid of this, the flickering of the trees is gone! Only the LOD shadows still flicker somewhat, but that isn't restricted to trees, but all LOD shadows flicker, so I assume it's completely unrelated. Also, it's subtle enough to ignore.

Thanks for fixing this!
