Extended Managers Library temporary fix
WARNING: UNSTABLE. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW GAMES.This mod has a number of bugs and stability issues, and is not recommended for new games. It is provided here as an attempt to help players with existing cities using Extended Managers Library/Prop Anarchy continue their saves without having to redo their work.
Why remove Extended Managers Library?The author of EML has left C:S modding and his mods (including Extended Managers Library, Prop Anarchy, and Tree Anarchy) are now abandoned.
These mods were useful prototype experiments in different ways of doing things. However, as prototypes, they all use a very non-standard codebase and have some fundamental issues that can’t realistically be resolved by anything other than a full rewrite.
I’ve made "temporary fix" versions of these original mods to keep them working with game version 1.16 so that people’s saves weren’t lost. However, given the current state of these mods and the nature of their codebase, I’m not in a position to anything more. While I will attempt to keep them operational, I cannot guarantee success, and there’s a chance that they will break completely in the future. There will also be no fixes for the bugs they contain.
Therefore it’s highly recommended that people currently using Extended Mangers Library migrate away as soon as possible to protect their saves. I’ve created the Remove EML mod to help with this.
Stable modern replacement functionality for most of EML and Prop Anarchy is contained in the new mods Prop Control, Visibility Control, and Line Tool.
There is currently no direct replacement for EML’s expanded prop limit; however, remember that props placed with BOB, Intersection Marking Tool, and Procedural Objects do NOT count towards the prop limit. Using these mods is the recommended (and more stable) alternative to expanding the prop limit.
INVISIBLE CITY ON LOAD?Quitting the game and trying again may resolve the issue. If it doesn’t, then there’s nothing I can do; as noted above, this mod has bugs and instability.
This is not my mod; I’ve only taken it over to try to keep people’s saves working after the next update (I may or may not succeed in that, but I’ll at least try). I don’t pretend to have any particular expertise with its use, or with any problems that might arise. If you have problems, I’ll do my best to help, but I cannot guarantee anything.
Note that I cannot do ANYTHING without seeing your output log. Please don’t post about any problems without including a link to your output log, and no, "me too" posts really are NOT helpful.
DO NOT PASTE ERROR TEXT INTO THE DISCUSSION. That is the exact opposite of helpful. Post a link to your uploaded output log instead.
