Remove EML [TESTING]

TESTING

Currently in public testing to make sure that everything works properly. Use with caution, and always make backups (which you should be doing anyway).

Make sure that you post your output log with any bug reports. Posts about errors or issues that don't include a link to your output log will be deleted.

Recovers prop data from Extended Managers Library (EML) savgames and tries to recover as many props as possible. Without this mod if you unsubscribe from EML you'll lose a portion of your manually-placed props (unless you were using the vanilla prop limit with EML). This mod attempts to recover as many props as possible.

Unusbscribing from EML will also remove any adjustments you'd made to props, such as adjusting their elevation or scale. Again, this mod will attempt to convert EML data into the format used by other mods.

Why remove Extended Managers Library?

The author of EML has left C:S modding and his mods (including Extended Managers Library, Prop Anarchy, and Tree Anarchy) are now abandoned.

These mods were useful prototype experiments in different ways of doing things. However, as prototypes, they all use a very non-standard codebase and have some fundamental issues that can't realistically be resolved by anything other than a full rewrite.

I've made "temporary fix" versions of these original mods to keep them working with game version 1.16 so that people's saves weren't lost. However, given the current state of these mods and the nature of their codebase, I'm not in a position to anything more. While I will attempt to keep them operational, I cannot guarantee success, and there's a chance that they will break completely in the future. There will also be no fixes for the bugs they contain.

Therefore it's highly recommended that people currently using Extended Mangers Library migrate away as soon as possible to protect their saves.

Stable modern replacement functionality for most of EML and Prop Anarchy is contained in the new mods Prop Control, Visibility Control, and Line Tool.

There is currently no direct replacement for EML's expanded prop limit; however, remember that props placed with BOB, Intersection Marking Tool, and Procedural Objects do NOT count towards the prop limit. Using these mods is the recommended (and more stable) alternative to expanding the prop limit.

To use:

• UNSUBSCRIBE from Extended Managers Library and Prop Anarchy
  
• Subscribe to this mod and load the savegame
  
• Save the city (with a new save file name, of course!) - note that this save will NOT be loadable using EML any more
  
• Exit the game
  
• UNUSBSCRIBE FROM THIS MOD
  
• (optional) Subscribe to Prop Control
  
• Restart the game and load the newly-created save

This mod will try to recover as many props as possible from EML, up to the normal game prop limit (65,535). Note that if you had more props than this the excess props WILL be lost forever. THIS IS NOT REVERSABLE.

Already mentioned above, but to be clear: once a save has been converted using this mod, it will NOT be loadable using EML any more. THIS IS NOT REVERSABLE.

ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SAVE BEFORE USING THIS MOD. If something breaks and you've overwritten your original save, there's nothing I can do to help you.

EML additional data (prop snapping, precision, and scaling) will be converted to Prop Control format. Prop Control is NOT required to load a converted save (but without it there'll be no prop snapping or precision or scaling).

Note that prop colorization data won't be converted, as there's currently no replacement data source.

Make sure you're not trying to use this mod with the EML or Prop Anarchy mods active.

Any other issue? I can't help without your output log; put it on a filesharing site such as paste.ee (note that sites other thatn paste.ee may be blocked by the content filter) and then post the link below, including a clear and complete description of your problem (and also stating if that save had been used with Tree Anarchy).
