Loading Screen Mod Revisited 1.1.11

Description
A replacement for, and continuation of, thale5's original Loading Screen Mod. Includes improved performance and compatibility with other mods, as well as some new features:
  • Skip network and tree prefabs (in addition to the original's buildings, props, and vehicles)
  • Customize loading screen background images
  • (Windows only) improved memory usage display
  • Translations for additional languages
  • Improved logging



Please UNSUBSCRIBE (not just disable) any other Loading Screen Mod version (including the Airports temp fix) before using this.



GAME NOT LOADING PROPERLY WITH ONLY A BLUE SCREEN AT THE END OF LOADING?
A lot of people have been reporting issues where the game doesn't finish loading properly and you just see a blue screen (not the Windows 'blue screen of death', but a game display that's basically just sky).

In EVERY SINGLE ONE of the cases investigated so far (and trust me, that's a lot), the issue has been due to either a missing network asset or an outdated/broken mod (i.e. not this one).

Before you report any 'blue screen' issues here, please make sure that you've used the Compatibility Report mod to check your mods, and that you've reviewed your report and acted on it by removing any identified broken or outdated mods.

If you still have the 'blue screen' problem when starting a NEW game with no other mods installed (other than Harmony), then please raise your issue below, inlcuding both your output log and compatibility report.




Documentation
Key documentation points

Other documentation is available at the original mod's workshop page. This original documentation is (slowly) being migrated and updated (and replaced when appropriate) as development of this version continues.

REMEMBER: KEEP THE "LOAD USED ASSETS" OPTION ENABLED UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Disabling this option when you haven't prepared for it can cause issues ranging from inability to place custom road elevations through to inability to load your city.

Key new features
  • Improved loading information, including total system memory usage figures (not just the game on its own).
  • Loading screen background image customization - choose from either game defaults, a curated list of images, a randomly selected image from r/CitiesSkylines on imgur, or a selection of images on your local drive.
  • Plus a lot of work 'behind the scenes' - refactoring code and migrating from Detours to Harmony for better performance and stability.

Recent changes to imgur mean that the random imgur loading image option no longer works. A replacement function will be included in a future update.
(The 'curated images' option still works fine)



Broken assets
It's a good idea to unsubscribe from any asset showing one or more of these errors, as they can prevent other assets from displaying properly:

Other errors in assets (these errors won't affect other assets, but will mean that this one may not look as intended):



Meta
This mod uses Harmony[github.com] version 2.2 by Andreas Pardeike via the Cities Harmony mod by boformer.

Special thanks to thale5 for the original mod!

Special thanks to REV0 for the great logo!

Doesn't touch the savefile, and can be safely removed at any time.

REMEMBER
A lot of older unmaintained mods are now broken, especially with the latest game update. Obviously, that's nothing to do with this mod. Make sure you CHECK YOUR MODS AND REMOVE OUTDATED/BROKEN ONES before reporting any potential issues with this mod.

I dont understand what does it do
algernon  [author] 25 Apr @ 5:11pm 
@craigprud There are many options available. Access options from the options menu, not the content manager.

I Dont get any options on the content manager when i click on options it is just blank?
algernon  [author] 19 Apr @ 12:15am 
@filipearaujoo No; you need to use the latest game version only.

Hello!
When I run the game, it says that the mod is updated to version 1.19, but my game has not been updated yet. Is there anything I can do to be able to play without any problems? Thank you very much!
algernon  [author] 11 Apr @ 4:13pm 
@ifTrue Is it showing in the content manager, or not there?
samprz23 11 Apr @ 9:30am 
Solved. I checked the Content Manager, all my mods were disabled :steamfacepalm:

@algernon I also have the same issue as @ARW and @ifTrue, basic loading screen.
ifTrue 11 Apr @ 7:29am 
Yes, indeed - I checked that the mod .dll file is present in the right folder and double-checked the Content Manager in the game
algernon  [author] 11 Apr @ 6:25am 
@ifTrue Has the mod downloaded, and is it visible in your content manager (and enabled)?
