@BrunoSupremo For the game, yes. The mod is slightly different, and that is intended due to user requests. However, I can take a look at what you're suggesting.
BrunoSupremo May 28 @ 5:35am 
That is not the intended difference for the tools and they should work different even on the first curve.
But here they are working the same. Both are doing curve tool.
It works for roads, but not with the trees.

Here the expected behaviour and how they should differ (based on the road tool):
If you do a L-shape, with the curve tool, it is expected that the curve will be draw within that L-shape guide, similar to a spiral and not perfectly round.
The free form will actually modify the L shape, the two 'segments" of the L will change sizes to keep the same proportion and just the initial angle will be kept, this makes a curve that is perfectly round instead of spiral.

Basically the freeform only do perfect circles, while the curve tool make ellipses.
And here a simple image with a killer explanation showing side by side their main diference: https://imgur.com/a/rqhjVV8

@BrunoSupremo Not a bug. For the first curve they are identical, but the freeform tool enables continuous building using the previous curve as a reference.

There is a bug in the freeform tool. It is the same as curve tool.

Understood, I'll try that out
algernon  [author] Feb 6 @ 12:30am 
@NEW FOUND GLORY That might be an issue with the specific fence; you may need to enable Prop Anarchy to enable overlaps if the prop's bounding box is slighly out of alignment (which is common).

I'm trying to create connected fence, but for some reason it overlaps, I tried 2 and 3 and 4 steps and even toggled "auto fence tool" or whatever that is... nothing helps

@amabuhasira How what?
amabuhasira Oct 12, 2024 @ 12:02pm 
@alegrnon how?
algernon  [author] Oct 9, 2024 @ 3:51pm 
@popilla4 Yes it does.
popilla4 Oct 9, 2024 @ 7:46am 
doesnt work with trees
algernon  [author] Sep 13, 2024 @ 7:37am 
@Nuke24 Can you share a screenshot of what you mean?
Nuke24 Sep 12, 2024 @ 11:46pm 
i have added this mod and the ui is also showing but when i select a tree and select the line one its just place like point plz help
algernon  [author] Jun 9, 2024 @ 2:58am 
@t_helgeson06 If it's not showing up in your mod options, then it's not loaded, so won't show up in the game either. Have you tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to force a download?
t_helgeson06 Jun 8, 2024 @ 9:07pm 
For some reason this isn't showing up in my game. I'm trying to plant a row of trees and the only thing that comes up is the brush tools. It shows that it is activated in skyve, but it also doesn't show up in my in game mod options page. does anyone know what my issue is?

Very useful and works great.
notDONEyet Apr 15, 2024 @ 10:04am 
happy to see you still working on cs1 :)
Lordwarblade Apr 9, 2024 @ 4:01pm 
Excellent little mod. I like the new update. Thankyou.
oliwierus Apr 7, 2024 @ 4:50am 
Oh it works, thanks!
algernon  [author] Apr 6, 2024 @ 9:30pm 
Updated to version 0.7.1:
- Change slider text entry field to accept two decimal places by default
algernon  [author] Apr 6, 2024 @ 7:12pm 
@oliwierus Hold down the control key to set increments of 0.1.
algernon  [author] Apr 6, 2024 @ 7:11pm 
@KoXz No, if you're using EML then you can only use the EML tools.
oliwierus Apr 6, 2024 @ 5:03am 
Hi, I cannot set for example 2.5 as the distance between objects :( - must be 2 or 3. Is it possible to change it? I remember that in old BloodyPinguin's prop line tool values with x.5 etc. were avaible.
KoXz Apr 1, 2024 @ 10:32am 
Hi. After some time, i play again and i cat use this tool, becouse i have extended library manager conflict which i cant unscribe. Is there working alternative for this mode with extended library?

The mod can't consume FPS unless you use it, as the author said. Do not panic
algernon  [author] Mar 2, 2024 @ 4:10pm 
@knight mannn I put a lot of time and effort into ensuring that my mods have no performance impact in normal operation.

It does not consume any FPS at all, except when you're using it, when the FPS it consumes will be up to how you use it. If you're using it to place 10 000 buildings in a row, then yes, there will be an FPS hit equivalent to rendering 10 000 manually-placed buildings.

"I heard" is not exactly a reliable source of information, and bear in mind that there are some people out there who enjoy spreading lies about mods for whatever reason.
All7" Mar 2, 2024 @ 5:22am 
hi guys, I heard this mod consumes a lot of fps, is it true or an original plt? I chose this one because I don’t have any problems with it, I hope it doesn’t waste FPS
urarakiroshi Feb 15, 2024 @ 8:51am 
@algernon Sooo it was easy! Im going to try it now! thanks for the answer & your work here! keep safe!
algernon  [author] Feb 14, 2024 @ 5:39pm 
@urarakiroshi Oh, you can also hold down the control key when entering typed values to also recognize the decimal place.
algernon  [author] Feb 14, 2024 @ 5:22pm 
@urarakiroshi You can hold down the control key when scrolling with the mouse wheel to change increments by 0.1m.

I'm intending to update with some improvements that will include the ability to type in exact amounts.
urarakiroshi Feb 13, 2024 @ 4:07pm 
Hello Alger! first of all, thanks a lot for your works here, man! second, I've been using this mod since the other one, prop line mod, started giving me problems. You see, I've tried to do it in many ways and I don't think it can (if is allowed can tell me how, I'd be super grateful lol) but the space of the line jumps meter by meter. As a detailing player, I'd love to make lines for example at 2.05 or 2.34 or whatever, but i can't. Do you plan to tweak the mod to allow to change that?
If it can really be done, tell me how, 'cause I have no idea
Some fences have posts, I like to line it up hehe thanksss! have a good week!
algernon  [author] Feb 5, 2024 @ 5:07pm 
@kthealtermaster Fence mode is a shortcut to automatically space and rotate items so they are continuous in a line (like a fence), and if required will overlap a final object to make sure that the line of objects EXACTLY matches the line you draw, even if it's not a clear multiple of the object size. I hope that makes sense.
kthealtermaster Feb 2, 2024 @ 10:42pm 
I think I'm still missing something about fence mode... is there a difference between fence mode and line mode?
GG BOOM~ Jan 13, 2024 @ 9:45pm 
brilliant bravo!
algernon  [author] Dec 23, 2023 @ 1:27am 
@remix I'll see if I can add that in the next update :)
remix Dec 23, 2023 @ 1:05am 
@algernon really? i swear to god i felt like i used to be able to set it to 2.5. Thanks thoo :)
algernon  [author] Dec 22, 2023 @ 5:11pm 
@remix It's always been that way with this mod.
remix Dec 21, 2023 @ 11:33pm 
Hey love the mod, i just have one question, i used to be able to set the distance to like 2.5, but now it just corrects it to 2. Do you have an idea why? Thanks
algernon  [author] Nov 30, 2023 @ 8:35pm 
@Frank Not yet, no.
Frank Nov 30, 2023 @ 8:13pm 
The mod doesn't have the option to drag lines and adjust the angle of curves?, like the prop line tool did before?
slavonator Nov 8, 2023 @ 12:53am 
@algernon yes, I know that the intersection marking tool is specially made for lines on roads and I use it for this purpose as well. however, in some cases I have complicated crisis situations, where it is necessary to supplement these lines with prop lines and draw them using the line tool, and I have a lot of problems with that. and many lines i want draw on the surfaces and not roads if u know what i mean. it doesn't work as well as its predecessor. but I believe that it will be fixed in the next update and also the function I wrote about before. decimal distance props. I thank you about a thousand times for all your work
algernon  [author] Nov 4, 2023 @ 6:23am 
@slavonator Yes, this is still under development. But if you want to add lines to roads, then you're probably better off using Intersection Marking Tool, which is purpose-designed for the job.
slavonator Nov 4, 2023 @ 4:59am 
@algernon when I use fence mode and try to draw lines on the road, I have a big problem that the lines run parallel. I try different combinations and mainly, it seems as if the 90 degree angle button does not respond at all. finally, when I press various combinations several times, I manage to set it up. before this mod was part of EML and I think it worked much better, and it was more intuitive to work with. it's just a question, but please try to look at it. and maybe i do something wrong? but I still have one suggestion. it is not possible to set the distance from segments to decimal number as in the old line tool. there are assets that need to be set to a decimal number, because they don't have exactly a meter, or two, or three, if you know what I mean. for example, the old bollarsd on which the chain is mounted ( i not remember name of asset), must be set precisely so that it connects to the segments. it need be 1,2m if you know what I mean?
algernon  [author] Oct 17, 2023 @ 2:43am 
@slavonator Not "mod", "mode". Which line mode/s?
slavonator Oct 17, 2023 @ 2:40am 
@algernon what particular mod do you mean please? I'm using your line tool now. and as for the function of 90 and 180 degrees of rotation, so far I have tried it while painting a double yellow line on the road and I have quite a big problem setting the segments to be parallel to each other. not a single button responds and I still have segments parallel to each other. but when I push different combinations several times, it sometimes works in the end. will the output log file help?
algernon  [author] Oct 16, 2023 @ 3:26pm 
@slavonator Using any particular mode?
slavonator Oct 16, 2023 @ 11:47am 
@algernon sometime 90 and 180 degrees buttons not work. i dont know why but sometime works sometime not. i need push them several times
algernon  [author] Oct 9, 2023 @ 8:47pm 
Updated to version 0.7:
- Add overlapping end item for fence mode
- Add shortcut buttons to rotate 90 and 180 degrees
- Add slider scroll wheel control: Shift key for x10, Control key for x0.1
bakepotatou Oct 6, 2023 @ 1:35pm 
@magicalmac what do you mean? you changed snapping options or removed Network Anarchy?
