TransferManager reverse engineering

[Kmeld 0]

Hi,

I am trying to go through the code of TransferManager as I believe it is somehow related to ridiculous behaviour of material deliveries, especially in industry areas.

So first I need to understand exactly what each method in the class does.

 

So first question:

Perhaps someone already investigated TransferManager and knows how it works exactly? If so could you share?

 

If not.

So for simplicity I thought I will just create my class and inherit TransferManager just to have all references working.

Almost worked.

I use VisualStudio.

I have declared my class as

 class KM_TransportManager : TransferManager

But the problem is I only have direct access to public properties and methods of original TransferManager. But it's most interesting methods are "private" and "protected".

Is there a way I can define my class to have access to this methods and properties?

Or I must copy/past them to my class directly?

 

Cris.

You must use C# reflection (google it)

There is already a mod that changes the Transfer Manager behavior, but I myself didn't check it out. You can look at its source code.

Check out this tutorial how to attach debugger to Cities:Skylines and how to decompile the code if you didn't do that already.

By the way, as a matter of principle I would not recommend inheritance as a good way how to change the code (it causes bugs). You can use Harmony to redirect method calls. But for now that is probably too advanced, so play with the code anyhow you can.

Hope this helped at least a little bit although it doesn't answer your question.

Hi, Thanks,

Thank you for suggestion, although I was not going to inherit class for making changes. I did this to make understanding easier for references to work in VisualStudio.

I will definitely have a look on the tutorial and linked mod.

 

Thanks.
