Multiple mods creating effects with the same name is not something that is supported, so that could very well be the cause of the seemingly random changes when VE ends up "randomly" picking one of the effects with a given name

@Dying Thanks a lot for the advice, I actually do have your cvpi in the game, I'll try around

@lukasbruckner try to rename your custom lights, as the light names "BRS....." are in use for my vehicles and if you change a value for the lights and have one of my cars loaded, it may cause this issue.

@Acc3ss Violation: can you add a bus effect sound option to the engine category??

I've encountered rather weird problems with the Mod. I make emergency lighting for vehicles, and firstly I noted that "BRS.BlueBig1" got much more intense out of nowhere. Now a couple launches later, BRS.BlueBig1 lost its intensity completely except for the centric laser, and BRS.BlueSmall1 now is as intense as BRS.BlueBig1 got to be. This affects vehicles globally. Any help is appreciated.

@MoizesBrando LSM with Vehicle Effects works fine here, so a copy of that output_log.txt would be appreciated

Simulation error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
game crashes to desktop on LSM after a ton of Vehicle Effects errors in outputlog

Thanks for the update!

@Mana I just fixed a bug that might be the cause of these errors, and I updated the mod to version 1.9.5. Please let me know if it solves the issue or not :)

Vehicle Effects has been producing thousands of "Look rotation viewing vector is zero" errors in the output log, and seems to eventually lead to a crash. From testing it only happens on particle creation but doesn't seem to happen for every particle (I think). I can provide a log if needed.

how can i add custom sound effect for trucks?

No I don't

@Acc3ss Do you have a video on doing that?

That can be done using this mod, not sure if anyone has though

What about rear lights on cars? It looks really weird at night time.

Put the XML in the same folder as the asset's .crp file. For non-workshop items (or testing) this should be something like %localappdata%/Colossal Order/Cities/Assets, that's where the game saves everything you make with the editor. For workshop items you have a little folder icon when uploading them next to the preview image. Clicking that opens a temp folder with a Content folder that contains your asset's crp file. Placing the XML in that Content folder with it will ensure it gets uploaded to the workshop as well.

I love the possibilities with this mod but what is confusing me is how to exactly add the effects to the asset. For example I have a garbage truck which I want strobes and extra lights on. Do I have to place the saved xml file anywhere for it to save into the asset (if so where. I heard about a root folder but I am very new to making assets and I am not sure what is considered the root folder), or does your setup in the editor automatically save into the asset? Thanks in advance!

i just tried but nothing happen i had the steam effect but now i dont have any haha

Adding a new effect using the mod's asset editor UI should provide you with a list of all effects. The button to open it should show up when editing vehicle assets.

how can i find all the possible effects to add to the vehicles? i need the electricity brake particles but idk how to find it or another that isnt just the steam

some sort of a tutorial for asset creators would awesome, I want to make some emergency vehicles with custom light effects but just can't wrap my head around it

@Chamëleon TBN Sure, send me a message once you have time

Hi @Acc3ss Violation - i would like to chat with you about a little issue regarding to misconfigured assets

Mod was updated to 1.9.4

Is a Cities: Skylines 1.16.0-f3 update coming for this mod?

thanks

It wasn't updated, but I think it works fine

My game says that this mod was not made for current game version, can you confirm this?

hi i want to change the color of the steam, tried changing the values from 0 to 1.0 but theres not a change in the color, any clue?

Hi, not a asset maker but is there some not crazy difficult way for me to make the tram light work for reversible tram? Right now I just use AVO to replace last car with engine but if course the light is messed up.

im having issues with the particle effects file, its all ok but i get an error saying 'maxstartspeed' and i have it in the file, dont know what to do

It may have worked fine in the past, but doesn't seem to work now.

@Hot Wet Nobel Laureates - what have Shicho to do with this mod? But if the question is if you should sub any of Shicho mods in general the answer is: NO! Do not subscribe. They are broken.

@Acc3ss Violation - all good with your mods, they are not listed as broken or incompatible. The only known issue is the error message that not provides the infomation which asset is broken.

I haven't checked since the update, but it has always worked fine for me, so I don't know why it's in there

The Google Drive doc of all the broken C:S mods has this mod in a hidden section titled "Shicho (Incompatible with the whole workshop!)". Should I just ignore it, and has anyone had any problems with this mod?

@Acc3ss Violation - i have very often in support players where a wrong configured asset that needs this mod causes errors in the game. I know it is nbot your fault, but the asset creators one... But maybe you can find a way that such assets are logged with the ID in output_log ? Would make our life in support massivley more easy... Feel free to dm or contact me on discord :)

I have subscribed to this mod before. This prompt will be displayed when I close or reopen it. Now I close these two temporarily.

Those probably need this mod as well: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=815103125

Although you can just ignore the errors and the trains will work, they just won't have those effects on them.

@Acc3ss Violation What is my situation? Is mod incompatible?
Error while parsing vehicle effect definition file(s). Assets will work but may have effects missing. Contact the author of the asset(s).
List of errors:
1540746841.CR400BF Golden Phoenix_Data: Vehicle Effect Wrapper fallback EMU Train Start was needed for EMU Train Start but not loaded either!
1540746841.CR400BF Golden Phoenix_Data - Effect with name Train Movement not loaded.

@Bud_Spencer it still provides some extra effects that can be used which are not included in the base mod

Is Extra Vehicle Effects still needed, or is it now all in Vehicle Effects 1.9.1?

@sagiluv1 Judging by that stacktrace it's coming from ExtraVehicleEffects https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=815103125) , not this one. Try disabling that mod and see if the game works again.

@justing It's either kilometers per hour or meters per second, I'm not sure anymore

Does anyone know what units MinSpeed and MaxSpeed use?

I don't thinks so, no

Is there a limit to the amount of vehicles can have effects in any one save?
