Report issues here
Hey all,

I have tried to test this mod as extensively and under as many different conditions as possible to stamp out all possible issues. However, the amount of mods in the Workshop is pretty huge, and testing compatibility with all mods available is unfortunately impossible (for pretty obvious reasons ;)
So if you are using this mod and are running into problems, errors or crashes, please report them here.


A few things to keep in mind:

- if you run into issues, please enable the debug output in the mod's Options Panel. This might yield useful info. If you don't get any error messages in-game, the info is also saved to the output_log.txt: search this for the string 'American RoadSigns' (Control-F) to find all entries related to this mod.
One more thing: please only enable debug output when experiencing problems, because it increases loading times significantly;

- if you post an issue here, please include information such as your computer's configuration (CPU, GPU, RAM) and the operating system you use. Also try to explain as detailed as possible what exactly happened and what you did just before to the problem occurred. If you have any mods installed that do similar things (replacing props and textures), please mention that as well.
The more information you include, the quicker I can - hopefully - trace and address the problem;

- this mod does not use any detours and has no impact on the simulation, so chances that it conflicts with other mods should be small.
The original American Roads mod for one is incompatible, but so far I haven't encountered any other cases of mod infighting.


Thanks!

Thank you for moving the discussion to this thread, I appreciate that :)

About the mods you mentioned, it could be that it's conflicting with a mod, but I don't really understand why that would be, as RoadSigns only replaces props and doesn't use any detours or fancy stuff that could clash with other mods (in theory at least).


A few questions:

1. do you use Fine Road Tool or another, older version of that mod? The other ones are most likely outdated, so if you don;t use the one I linked, I would recommend you to start using it (it's better and actively supported). I use Fine Road Tool, and it doesn't conflict with RoadSigns.

2. Have you tried loading the map with TM:President Edition disabled? No need to remove it, just disable it once in the mod panel, load your city, and see if the signs are changed. After that, simply close the map (don't save ;), and enable TM again in the mod panel.

3. Do you actively use the Road Color Changer? It's a pretty old mod (which I no longer use myself, so I haven't tested it for compatibility, and it may conflict), and Roads United (which I do use, and which doesn't conflict with RoadSigns) also offers options to change the road color per road type, from light gray to near-black.So unless you want to give your roads pretty outlandish colors, I think you can safely uninstall Road Color Changer and use Roads United's options to give your roads a different color.

4. If none of the above helps, could you open the output_log.txt, and search (Ctrl-F) the mod for entries that start with [American RoadSigns 1.0.3] - it may be a long list of entries, but it should give you a bit more info about what goes on under the hood when you load your city. If you don't find any entries, please enable the 'Write data to debug log' option in the mod panel (see here), load your city, close it once done, and recheck the output_log.txt

The output log can be found in this location: C:\{path_to_Steam}\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data (assuming you have Steam and the game installed on your C drive).

Sorry that I can't give you any definitive answers yet, but trust me, we'll crack this nut!

Thanks for the detailed info, I'll try it. I do have fine roads tools, I'll try PE (disable) and I'll remove color roads. Thanks I'll keep you posted
noobified Aug 20, 2016 @ 12:35pm 
Deleted roads color but still not fixed. I'll tre PE
noobified Aug 20, 2016 @ 12:53pm 
PE didn't work either, i re add it. It looks like street signs might be working but no parking and speed limit signs are round red and white.

Mmm.. that is really odd.

Here's a few more things to try:

- un-sub from the mod, load your city, exit and re-sub, and start again;
- verify the game's local cache before starting the game (open your library in Steam, right-click on Cities:Skylines and open the Properties popup, open the tab 'Local files', and click on the option 'Verify integrity of game cache...');
- remove the config file 'CSL_AmericanRoadSigns.xml' named from C:\{path_to_Steam}\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data, and restart.

Also, had you taken a look in the output_log.txt to see if there are any errors?
And lastly, the mods you mentioned, are those the only ones you use, or do you use others as well? If so, could you post a list of all mods you use?
noobified Aug 21, 2016 @ 8:14am 
Ok I'll try that, I have looked at output log, I have over 70 mods lol. I'll try this and post. Thanks
noobified Aug 23, 2016 @ 12:12am 
Hmmm tried the last step :( nothing, I'll check the output log tomorrow. Can you tell me where to find it please
noobified Aug 23, 2016 @ 7:18pm 
Ok I did it all and the LOg shows up empty. I enabled in mod area
noobified Aug 23, 2016 @ 8:13pm 
Ok got the log, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for? How Cani show you what came up?
noobified Aug 23, 2016 @ 10:31pm 
I deactivated all the kids I use but left key ones, Netwotk Ext, Roads United, American Signs, fine roads height. Still don't see some of the signs in the game :/
Judazzz  [developer] Aug 24, 2016 @ 5:47am 
Man this is frustrating, imagine doing bug-fixing for a living. Oh wait, I do ;)

Anyways, this mod should write some data to the output log, and every entry created by it is prefixed by [American RoadSigns 1.0.3] - so open the output log in Notepad, and search for for that text string using Ctrl-F.
If you have enabled the 'Write data to debug log' option in the mod's option panel (recommended until we've solved the issue), the mod writes additional (debug) output.

Another thing that just crossed my mind: if you go to the foolder located at C:\{Path_to_Steam}\steamapps\workshop\content\255710\690066392, how many .crp files do you see in that folder? It should contain the mod file itself (a .dll), 9 sign props (.crp files) and 5 texture files (.dds) Are all the files present?
If so, could you check the following: in the mod option panel there is an option called 'Load dependencies from local mod folder, if present' (see second screenshot). Could you first make sure the option is un-checked and reload your city. Does that fix anything? If not, could you copy all the .crp and .dds files I mentioned previously (so not the .dll file) to the following location: C:\Users\{Your_Windows_Username}\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods\American RoadSigns, then start the game, check the 'Load dependencies from local' option, and finally load your city.

Oh, and one more things that just came to mind (stupid that I hadn't thought of it before): could you post the contents of the mod's config file. It's called CSL_AmericanRoadSigns.xml, can be found in C:\{Path_to_Steam}\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines, and should contain all the mod settings - perhaps that could yields some useful clues.

Ok, but now I have s♥♥♥♥♥♥ problem:( I started a new map w just the core mods needed. Now my game is crashing on and offline :( I can't load anything or activate the mods
Judazzz  [developer] Aug 25, 2016 @ 11:45am 
Crap, I'm sorry to hear that :(
Can you revert the situation back to what it was, so that you can load your city and only have that one specific sign missing?

If you can, could you please share the contents of your settings file? Also, did you check whether all the props are actually present, and if so, have you tried loading them from your local folder (like I explained in my previous post)?

I really wish I can help you, but without any specific info it's like searching for a needle in a hay stack for me. That's the reason why I'm asking so many questions and asking you to try several things: hopefully that will eventually yield any clues that can help to fix that annoying issue once and for all.
noobified Aug 25, 2016 @ 12:18pm 
I can't get it to load, I didn't get to try your advice :( I'm gonna try and restart my game by wiping out :( might take a few days. Thanks maybe that will fix the issue.
