Updating Networks

[Clus 24]

Hello fellow citizens !

 

I recently did updates on two of my roads and jah, they went totally south ! :/

How did I do the updates ?    

                                                     - subscribing to the asset;

                                                     - loading it in to the road editor:

                                                     - changing some things;

                                                     - press save (nothing was overwritten, it just saved as a seperate file with exactly the same filename as the original);

                                                     - I then went to steam, hit update and pasted the new file in to the content folder;

 

It seems as if some internal prefab names have changed during the update. The different "elevations" were equipped with a "0" within the name before and now they have a "1".

(for example:   Asset missing: 1707061991.Tram Track Elevated0) 

I then browsed to the workshop to see if anybody else run in to the same problems as I did. I found out that AmiPolizeifunk had the same problem with his "Strasse des 17. Juni".

I took the information I found on his assets page and used ModTools to browse through the internals of the tracks, but I wasn´t able to find a differnce between the original

version and the updated one.

The image below shows the internal prefab names of the updated version.

 

 

I finally rolled everything back to the original version, which I saved before I did the update. But that is just a short term solution. I really have to do these updates ... there are some things

which needs to be fixed.

So what did I do wrong ? I hope anybody of you can help me with that ! Thanks in advance !

It's a bug and CO is aware of the issue.

 

The game goes back and forth between adding a 0 or adding a 1 to the end of network prefab names on bridge, elevated, tunnel, and slope segments. You can see it in modtools here:

Tool Controller->NetTool->NetInfo->NetAI

See how it says "Bike1" at the end of the bridge segment prefab name (Slope1 on slope, Tunnel1 on tunnel, etc)? If I updated it once, it would say "Bike0" and it would not be found in people's savegames. If I updated it twice, it would be back to "Bike1" and it would work again. This is what you have to look for.

Thank you so much !!!! Saving it twice did the trick ! The prefabs names all rolled back to the "0" at the end ! Thanks !

not worth to make a bugfix mod for that or is it?

I think it would be useful assuming CO won't fix this bug (which has existed since road editor was introduced).
