Works fine. Thanks. (Using it on Linux with Proton.)

@rmbackslash Can you consider sharing the source on Github? I can attempt to migrate it to CS2. I absolutely love this mod.

Works with all the latest Hubs and Transport. Don't believe compatibility mod nor Load Order Tool V2

Just confirming that this still works fine for me after all these years (though it does still need to be manually corrected +/-180 degrees).
TC.NV Jan 11, 2023 @ 12:09pm 
No degrees option? I wanted to use this for setting runway numbers.
Neverminder Jul 12, 2022 @ 10:08pm 
is there no updated alternative to this?

This works perfectly fine for me, but I do find it funny that a mod with "really updated" in the name actually hasn't been updated in over 7 years.

Of, I thought CS was meant to broaden horizons within the Northern GHemisphere by setting all its towns south of the Equator. With this mod I am less sure, now, what they mean.

Reminds me of that "MTV News" globe that rotated backwards, yet few noticed.

Seems to be working fine for me. Of course you need to double click the center of the compass and set the 180 degree offset for it to be accurate.

This works great along with my other 45GB of mods and assets.

Been working for me for months

This made my game crash. Also, does not give accurate readings of poles. Do not install.
Nope, not me. Apr 15, 2020 @ 3:43pm 
It's fine for me, but it might be incompatible with another popular mod.
CyberHawk44 Apr 13, 2020 @ 9:53pm 
For me it works.

I've had reports this is still working, despite what the google spreadsheet says - can anyone confirm?
Jie Jan 17, 2020 @ 9:23pm 
@ rmbackslash

I think your compass shows just the opposite position ,as the sunset position it shows East, the sunrise position it shows West.
#Orbitaller Dec 13, 2018 @ 1:40am 
It is still working on 1.11 (Industries)

However, you will notice that the sun will rise from the West and set into the East in default compass setup when playing with default themes (no custom themes selected) and many of custom themes. To mitigate this, you can set the offset dir. to 180 (180 degrees) and the sun will rise from the correct "East".

This mod came since the begining of Cities: Skylines. The game does not have day and night cycle yet at that time. The North the compass pointed to is "Map North".

However when the cycle has been impremented by the publisher since After Dark, they may overlooked this and misplaced the sun's pathway in the default themes' setup. (The theme setup has the latitudal and longitudal setting to let thememakers decided where the sun should rise, including its right ascention and inclination.) So we have to ajust the compass accordingly.

Works fine for me on 1.10 (Parklife) :)
Finwickle Aug 16, 2018 @ 12:31pm 
Is the source for this mod available somewhere? I'd like to check what is causing the NullReferenceException in the log.
Finwickle Jul 29, 2018 @ 2:03pm 
It works fine for me with 1.10, but I don't have the Parklife DLC (yet).
Jie Jun 4, 2018 @ 6:13pm 
@🦊狐桜花

It's not working with Parklife the new DLC.
Michiko Apr 20, 2018 @ 6:23pm 
I dunno why but I can't get this to work anymore somehow. It used to work but I redid my mod list and now it just doesn't show up, even if I press C. Already tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, still nothing.

Works fine, couple features I'd really like though:

- Let me have the compass rose/spikes without any letters
- Auto hide the thing when I hide the UI, if I really want it in a no-ui shot I'll reenable it myself
- Maybe a bug, but you can't close the options menu except by making the compass appear and clicking the center, which is annoying if it's hidden but auto-show is off.

Working fine for me in Mass Transit DLC :steamhappy:
jjeff1955 Apr 19, 2017 @ 2:38am 
Awsome! I Love this Compass. Thank You very much for your Content.
it only Shows up for me when I am scrolling the Map and turning. I like this Feature.
baxton29 Jan 9, 2017 @ 10:22am 
I have the mod enabled but it isn't showing up even if I press the hotkey "C". What am I doing wrong?
AmiPolizeiFunk Dec 18, 2016 @ 12:22pm 
a hotkey for north would be awesome
MaestroII Dec 14, 2016 @ 1:42pm 
This mod works with v1.6 aka Natural Disasters
UguuDoki Sep 20, 2016 @ 9:12pm 
Still recurrent since Finwickle reported a year ago...

The west-to-east sun is a game issue. It can be fixed with the Time Warp mod (with a negative longitude value).
Smacky Mar 21, 2016 @ 7:56am 
I really like this mod, but unless C:S Lore has the Earth rotating backwards, the compass is 180 degrees off.
☆Heike'sFootSlave™☆ Feb 20, 2016 @ 11:37pm 
I have the Sourcefiles for this Mod but this fuc***g a**hole Visual Studio is kicking my nerves!
Fukk I am damn too STUPID to get this s*it with modding in my brain (if there is a brain :D )

If anyone is interested to take a look at this Mod and maybe can update it for us, here you are, just comment And I upload them to whatever you want :(

Wish I could just get a bit coding into my mind!!!
I am so depressed, I wish all others are Dead :D :D :D
MadTech Feb 20, 2016 @ 11:24am 
With Snowfall this is working as it has in the past except when you open the options menu, it will not close again and everytime you press a key it changes the Hotkey making it impossible to play the game. Lesson of the day, "Don't go into the options menu" :steamfacepalm:
Bephemelius Nov 1, 2015 @ 10:44am 
Just so you know, the sun with the compass apparently rises on the West and it sets in the East.:steamsad:
MrMontana1889 Nov 1, 2015 @ 7:06am 
I figured out how to get this working again. I had to delete the compass data file AND I reset my keymappings since the default for the Compass is C (my "C" is for electricity). I then remapped Compass to M and Electricity to C and it is now working every time. :steamhappy:
MrMontana1889 Oct 24, 2015 @ 6:13pm 
Does anyone know if the source for this mod is available or not? I'd like to try and get it working. I am really missing it - a lot.
MrMontana1889 Oct 14, 2015 @ 1:22pm 
@Finwickle - It's not showing at all. The shortcut key I assign, m, doesn't do anything. Any ideas? i'm really, really missing it.
Finwickle Oct 11, 2015 @ 5:49am 
It's working for me. Is it not working at all for you, as in not showing?
MrMontana1889 Oct 9, 2015 @ 7:08am 
Any chance on a fix for using the compass in After Dark? I'm really, really missing it.
L2 Oct 7, 2015 @ 10:34am 
A new thing of uselles things 2015!
Finwickle Oct 4, 2015 @ 1:04pm 
@roberto tomás: the mod already has a scaling and moving option. Check the options menu. I have it sitting nicely on the UI bar.

A workaround for the sun going from west to east is using the Time Warp mod. Change the longitude to a negative value and the sun behaves normally again.

roberto tomás Oct 3, 2015 @ 7:00am 
great mod! any chance you can add a scaling option so it can be made to fit on the UI bar?
vonpaulus Sep 26, 2015 @ 11:35pm 
Same for me. Any chance for After Dark fix?
WattX Sep 26, 2015 @ 5:38am 
since After Dark there is trouble with the Mod. The Sun goes down in the East and wake up in the West - horrible ...
Finwickle Sep 24, 2015 @ 2:30pm 
This mods works fine for me too thankfully, but it gives an error in the output.log:

Cahos Rahne Veloza Sep 24, 2015 @ 7:33am 
Whew~! Thankfully still works under the latest 1.2.0 (After Dark) update, granted I've only tested with the base game though as I still don't have the EP yet.
MrMontana1889 Aug 28, 2015 @ 2:39pm 
For some reason this mod is not working for me. I don't have many mods enabled anyway and it used to work. Any ideas on how to get it working again?

I really, really, really miss it.
benzoll Jul 28, 2015 @ 5:12pm 
Works fine in v1.1.1c
Mine Mine Jul 1, 2015 @ 11:40pm 
Love the mod. Would be great to be able to double-tap the W A S D keys for N W S E. Saves mousing over to click a toolbar button. Even without this improvement though, this mod's a keeper.
