There are definitely assets in CS1 that are high enough quality to stick into 2 if the technical side were doable. Some people go a little buck wild with their 50 MB buildings.

They WILL crash your game at some point or throw errors. Create redundant copies of your save files and use at your own risk. There has not been a lot of testing done on custom assets, and I'm publishing this project to get feedback from the community. Extra says it won't cause crashes, but ymmv.

Is there an actual mod manager now? Or do I have to do everything manually?

Grid-based zoning is honestly kind of outdated and i'd like to just be able to draw a polygon in which homes or whatever are built I consider High Rise City to be more of an industry management game than a city builder. It's like a reskinned Anno game.

Anyone heard anything about a mod for historical buildings? The snap to building prop thing is great but as long as zoned buildings can replace at random you can't use it on them.

Ah cool. I didn't read the whole description of a lot of the mods I added. Hope that'll be expanded to being able to switch it individually and by district instead of all or nothing.

I think you can still set it per-building by clicking on them and checking a thing in the window for the building.

new dev post, just timelines mostly, here's an abridged version: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/upcoming-patch-content.1681104/ quote:Economy Re-work I also need to include this reply to that thread because I find it really funny (and true): quote:And still it doesn't end there.

moving in the right direction, but the asset editor (and therefor new buildings) being pushed to post autumn is disappointing. personally i'm not particularly interested in playing with the current limited selection of themes.

Yep. Can't make a cool looking city with the vanilla assets so not much reason to play. I might check out some of the new maps and mess with mods, but like "seriously" building a city has to wait for assets. Anyway I'm not going to get mad at them for taking their vacation time, but I am going to hope someone has an insight and fixes this before then.

Popete posted:The economy rework is big for me personally. I don't have much motivation to play when it feels like everything happening underneath is broken. Agreed, I think I'll still be more of a "check in for a bit and then quit again" until custom assets, but I can't play the game if its paint-a-city 'creative mode.' I don't need it to be a super deep game, but I want to feel like what I'm doing is actually pushing and pulling on systems in a way that gives me feedback. Metrication posted:moving in the right direction, but the asset editor (and therefor new buildings) being pushed to post autumn is disappointing. personally i'm not particularly interested in playing with the current limited selection of themes. Am I misremembering someone just speculating, but I thought we had an idea that the asset editor was that far off? Not that its any less disappointing.

The economy rework patch coming out soon is apparently such an extensive change to the game systems you'll have to do stuff to convert savegames, so I would hold off on starting cities if anyone was thinking about that.

When CS1 came out, we didn’t have a functional city builder to compare it too. We do now, it’s so bizarre they released it in such a bad condition, it’s hard to get games out of this tailspin.

It sounds like the message from the Youtuber meetup that the game was basically impossible to fail was heard loud and clear, so I'm hoping the economy update reflects that. CS1 had a really good balance for difficulty, not a complete walkover but also generally easy enough to get going

The CPP video made it clear that there was a dodgy beta patch that did nuke existing saves, but the release patch should be backwards compatible but will need a tutorial on how to convert the saves (which CO are gonna make into a Wiki post, but CPP is gonna make into a Youtube video because obviously)

A tutorial on converting a save is wild though lol, I'll do it, but yeesh that seems unprofesh. still rather have a game that breaks saves than a game that doesn't but is unwilling to improve though, so.

Poil posted:Am I misunderstanding or are modders able to add assets but the devs aren't? The custom assets that modders are adding aren't new meshes, it's assets and props that are already in the game but combined together to look like a new asset. The thing the devs are working on that seems to always take more time is letting modders import entirely new meshes. Like there's custom assets that are stadiums, but it's using the existing track or soccer field and existing bleachers or stairs or buildings to form the rest of the stadium. What the devs can't figure out yet is letting people import a whole 3d mesh for say, the Allianz arena, or the Skydome, etc. Now, why the devs aren't able to roll out an asset editor after a year, that's the billion dollar question.

It's especially strange since getting assets into a unity game is embarassingly trivial. Sure, you need to also have a way of adding functionality to the assets, but everything else is extremely well-trodden ground.
