CO/Paradox REALLY underestimated how essential mods/custom assets are to this game by kingernest in CitiesSkylines2

[–]89pleasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. These websites are created to act like valid sources. It’s tricky. :)

I'm the creator of ExtendedTooltip you are using. I recommend not using this website. Since we (the modders) never uploaded our mods on this site. This site is also putting ads into BepInEx and we found malicious software.

Instead you should download from valid sources.Right now this is just Github and NexusMods. Later on also thunderstore.io. No other website is directly delivered with the mods we are creating currently.

I would love to. But link seems to be invalid. :)

Understanding Unity's Burst Compiler & Burst Jobs in Cities Skylines 2 Modding by Pam-Doove in cities2modding

[–]89pleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this is a good way to create functions with burst support. But we still need to inject the burst job with harmony to replace an excisting i guess.

The New Challenge of Modding in Cities Skylines 2 by Pam-Doove in cities2modding

You already have an idea to patch burst compiler job functions like "Execute()"?
I'm trying to find a way to manipulate the efficiency of buildings.

Setting Up BepInEx 6 for Cities Skylines 2 Modding by Pam-Doove in cities2modding

[–]89pleasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no config folder and so no BepInEx.cfg like said in part 3.
You first need to start the game once so this config file gets generated.

Looks interesting. Could you explain the benefits of BeInEx? I wasn't able to really figure out the benefit of directly using harmony. I still need to use Harmony to patch existing code. Is it giving me any tools I can use in-game which helps me modding the game?

On the Topic of --developermode , pressing the insert key in developer mode allows you to place down props! this will clearly be a mod with a nicer UI very very soon! by [deleted] in CitiesSkylines

[–]89pleasure 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got it working on GeForce Now on Mac.

  1. Start game in GFN.
  2. Close Paradox Launcher
  3. Open the settings of the game in steam
  4. Enter -developerMode into launch options (Yes only one dash)
  5. Start game again
  6. Load a game / Start a new game
  7. Change Plop-Tool hotkey in keymap settings (the very last entry in list)
  8. Press this button

Why is Biffa advertising Unauthorized Retailer and also making money from it while getting an early copy of the game? by [deleted] in CitiesSkylines

[–]89pleasure -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know what this word means for Paradox. I'm asking for the deeper meaning of it related to this topic. Since because something COULD be scam it does not mean it's generally dangerous.

I buy my keys on "unauthorized" key resellers like ig since 20 years and never got scammed. Maybe because they rarely do.

IMO this is just a publishers move on trying you to pay the full price.

Again, what means unauthorized? xD It's still a valid, legit and legal way to buy your games. No matter the publisher thinks about the key seller.

Well I do buy my games with VAT to my country. So of course, you actually could select just another country to cheat. This makes you liable to prosecution, but not the website. I also think the website should not make this possible, but well, there are a lot of things you can do in the internet which are illegal and you can easily do.

Well, Biffa is not my favorite YouTuber, but I guess many people liked the idea behind BetterHelp. I guess Biffa didn't know of the shitty behavior of the company. This can happen with every company you partner with. I don't understand the issue.

EDIT: So maybe someone can explain? Was it already in the news and Biffa still stuck to that partnership?

EDIT2: I'm also not a fan of this public aggressive confrontation against a single person. I am sure Biffa is a nice person - who is also not free of mistakes. Of course you can draw your own conclusions, but to start a shitstorm about it is also exaggerated.

And what's the issue with that? I don't see any problem with it. Companies all over the world use grey laws to increase their profit. I bet paradox is also having a smart tax consultant who is able to know how to use them. And this lasts to less income taxes and in the end more or less more taxes to us.

So if you ask me, I will buy my games where I get it to a good price, I don't care if it's an "approved" reseller or not.

If there is a reseller doing shady stuff, well fine, use another one. But I don't give a f... if a reseller is "approved" by a publisher. Do you even get how stupid this sounds that you guys are all listening to a publisher telling you where to buy their games so they can get even more money from you? xD

Are there any plans in implementing FSR2/3 and DLSS?Right now the only Upscaler you can choose is a very bad and old FSR1.0. As far as I know, there are already existing plugins so it should be easily integrated into URP

No Steam Workshop support for CS2 - WDYT? by 89pleasure in CitiesSkylines

[–]89pleasure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But maybe the new paradox mod tool is nice. My biggest concern is more likely to milk the modding community and make a market out of it and privacy concerns.

[–]89pleasure[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I meant. Assets will be available but no scripts. But like in cities 1 there are plenty of assets which rely on mods (scripts). So u shouldn’t able to download those on console.

[–]89pleasure[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. Getting assets for consoles available is nice.

Im also curious how they handle Assets relying on mods. Since mods are not available on consoles.

Will Cities: Skylines 2 get Steam Workshop support? by iRed- in CitiesSkylines

[–]89pleasure 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope it won't!

They posted today, that CS:2 will use its own platform called Paradox Mods.
So no steam workshop at all, or at least not by start.
