If you are experiencing in-game issues with Prop Line Tool or have found a bug, report in this thread. Sending me the output_log provides me with the info that I need to address your issue most of the time.

How to submit a helpful bug report:
- Describe the issue/problem in as much detail as possible. What exactly were you doing when problems first started happening? Etc.
- Submit your output_log (see instructions below).
- Send any screenshots of the issue (if applicable).


Generate a helpful output_log:
1. Load Cities:Skylines to the Main Menu from desktop.
2. Ensure that PropLineTool is enabled in the Content Manager.
3. Load the same city/map/asset or Start the same map that you were playing on when you experienced the issue.
4. Recreate the issue in-game.
5. Take screenshots of the issue (if you can/if it makes sense).
6. Exit the game to desktop.

There appears to be an error when loading a game from inside the game itself (not from the main menu) something about PLT not initiliasing or finding the buttons I can't fully remember what it said but here's the output log

Great mod:
Same issue as Blackwolf. Error when loading a game from inside the game itself.
'Prop Line Tool failed to register itself with the game's tool controllers. Please save your output_log from this game session and post a link to it on the workshop page for PLT.'

Saved and quitted to main menu, enabled additional mod, loaded game. Now Prop Line Tool has some problems when placing trees or props - after every click there is an error about problems with initialization. Reloading a save from ingame makes PLT not work at all.

@Epichorror119, Check out the description/comments on Prop Anarchy, including the mentioned guide[imgur.com].

@MWonderchild, That is very strange. Is it happening with just trees or props as well? I know that many users have reported a strange bug where the trees duplicate themselves, even before the release of PLT. It may be related to Random Tree Rotation. If you do have duplicate trees, definitely checkout the mod The Amazing Tree De-Duplicator.

Hey everyone! Updating PropLineTool today!

Thank you for the bug reports and output logs! They are quite helpful (:

I believe these issues to be fixed by this update:
- the error message regarding initialization
- null reference error
- buttons not appearing or disappearing
- PLT breaks when reloading save
the update is focused at fixing these bugs.

Since they were generated by loading a game once in-game or returning to main menu,
you can test if the update works for you by:
1. Select New Game on a vanilla map.
2. Once the map has loaded, test PLT by drawing some stuff with it.
3. Then from that map, Load Game your save game.
4. Test PLT on your save game.

Let me know if it resolves things and if you experience any other issues!

Hello ! I have an issue with mod, when i subscribe to it it doesn't even appear anywhere in the game, only in the content manager, and it's activated.
It doesn't appear in the options menu, and the controls doesn't do anything...

Alterran  [developer] Dec 5, 2016 @ 12:14am 
@[FR] Toxik | Silicium, This mod doesn't have any main menu options, so it won't have a listing in the options menu. Can you please upload an output log from a game session with PLT enabled, where the controls didn't work? (instructions above)

@Alterran
I just reinstalled my whole game and it works great now :steamhappy:
Thanks for the support :-)
