Road Protractor mod is obsolete.

Use Precision Engineering mod instead:

Precision Engineering pretty much does everything this does and more.

BadKarma Oct 4, 2016 @ 4:02am 
This mod is the only reason why I still play Cities:Skylines. Thank you.
KoenderB Jul 10, 2016 @ 11:15am 
Is it updated since 'match day'? Mine isn't working anymore but it's been a long time since I've played cs
HoboG May 8, 2016 @ 10:45pm 
my output log says that this is what's been breaking my InGame this whole time!!
last light of the library Mar 16, 2016 @ 1:56pm 
yeah this is partualy broken unfortunitly.
the highlight u get for doing actions such as laying pipes, roads, zoneing keeps derpeing out with this enabled. and the diferent tabs for selecting diferent road types dont all work with this enabled. disableing this mod everything works fine again. unfortunitly was a realy handy mod :(

This mod is throttling my simulation speed significantly. I disabled all my mods and enabled them one by one. This was the one that caused it. When I disabled it, I was once again able to run my game at the highest simulation speed. Base game only here, no DLC.
Finwickle Mar 5, 2016 @ 10:56am 
Does this still work in patch 1.3 (Snowfall)?
RAMZ Feb 26, 2016 @ 5:34pm 
Mine does not work, im not sure if i need to do more than just turn it on but thats all i did. I need some hellllp?
semperaye Dec 3, 2015 @ 1:38pm 
mine shows blocks and not angles :(
SemiPrime Nov 12, 2015 @ 6:16pm 
What features does this mod have that Precsion Engineering doesn't? Does it work side by side with Precision Engineering? Perhaps combine the two mods into one.
GameaDdicT Aug 15, 2015 @ 8:11am 
Thanks dude for an awesome mod. Hope your RL gets sorted and thumbs up! :-)
flyrobot27 Jul 14, 2015 @ 8:20pm 
will it crash with precise engineering?
ARKYmouse Jul 3, 2015 @ 6:26pm 
Has this mod been deprecated by the road protractor in any way?
testerb Jun 21, 2015 @ 7:20am 
I like this mod a lot and use it all the time. Thanks for sharing!
NotTheMama Jun 18, 2015 @ 2:24pm 
@oelderoth , could u take a look at the compatibility between fiiner roadheights and this one.
the degrees disappear when using them together.

i know u said that u had some RL busy time , but i still had to ask XD
NotTheMama Jun 17, 2015 @ 5:20am 
what exactly doesnt work Redmel , i dont have any problem with it ( except for finer road heights removing the degrees)
Rediode Jun 16, 2015 @ 12:14am 
it doesnt work with the new version game
h2oQueen Jun 1, 2015 @ 7:26pm 
Holding Shift doesn't work for me, I would love to have perfectly straight roads especially for my highways, can this mod do this?

Thank you :)
Sapientia May 30, 2015 @ 8:57am 
I like this one better then the other one. Thanks for your great work. :D
NotTheMama May 28, 2015 @ 9:13am 
uhm oelderoth , regarding your response to simon , yours works while paused too.
there did however surface a new problem with finer road heights , the lenghts keep showing but the degrees disappear when using them together. i will not give up this mod though XD
𝒟erek May 24, 2015 @ 2:23pm 
holding shift doesn't lock to 15 degree angles D::
ph0923 May 22, 2015 @ 6:57pm 
Thanks.
I love it.
gmnowels May 21, 2015 @ 10:29pm 
Simply the best thing since sliced bread.
Jason_c_o May 21, 2015 @ 11:24am 
Just going by the descriptions:

Road Protractor: "Show angles and distances when placing roads, pipes, or power lines."

Precise Engineering: "Adds angle and distance measurements when building roads, train lines, pipes and power lines."

So I actually got it backwards and should have asked why it appears Precise Engineering offers more. If that's not the case an *both* offer more than they say, the descriptions should actually reflect that.

And furthermore: What *is* the difference, then? And why pick one over the other?
Oelderoth  [author] May 21, 2015 @ 11:13am 
@WeWill GrokU: Thanks! I made this mod to make the game more fun, not to get famous, so there's no sense in trying to discourage people from trying something that they may enjoy more!

@Simon: They have very similar features.
Precision Engineering is a little better functioning (i.e., it works while paused) at the moment, since this mod was originally just a test to see if it was possible to do and I haven't had time to rewrite it properly yet. Although, the way that my mod handles things allows it to be compatible with more mods.

If you're more interested in seeing graphically what angles are being measured, go try it out!
If not, stick around. I will be updating again once thing settle back down a bit.
Stooge May 21, 2015 @ 5:19am 
@Oelderoth: You're a classy act! Pointing everyone to Precision Engineering and recommending it, even though it's a 'competing' mod is just a class act. You even compliment the mod and the author. I'm so tired of ego tripping, so wonderful to see a mod author who is humble. Thank you for your efforts in coding and conducting yourself like an adult!

@Jason_c_o : Precision Engineering applies to roads, highways, power lines, tunnels, and pipes. Just like this one does. What do you feel this one effects that PE does not?

@Simon : PE has has all the same features, it works while paused, better graphical representation, and it shows all angles not just the starting point. Try it and see if you like it. Just make sure you don't have both active at the same time!
Jason_c_o May 21, 2015 @ 4:29am 
This seems to effect more than Precision Engineering. Why is that one more popular?
Simon May 21, 2015 @ 3:07am 
Is this not the same as Precision Engineering? Which is better and why or why not?
NotTheMama May 20, 2015 @ 3:30pm 
flawless , thx for the fast update . reall life always comes first.
i dont like the other mod , this one is all u need.
