Update please
Snacko 5 Jan, 2016 @ 1:41pm 
OMG! Thanks TheOne. I'll try it now!.. Hope it works with my Triple-screen mod.
I think in the posts below, someone said it had a problem with mods that have 'Options'. So, that's the main thing I will test.
TheOne 16 Dec, 2015 @ 2:01pm 
Og I got it working and put it up here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=576970398

I don't promise that it's completely stable, but it's done pretty well on my machine so far...

At any rate it's better than what we have currently....
TheOne 15 Dec, 2015 @ 4:08pm 
I'm working on getting a fixed version together... So far I have it loading the Emerald skin with only a few modifications to the skin (I think some buttons got removed with the expansion) and some code changes to the mod...
It's not stable or working really yet, but this makes me hopeful :)

I really wish this mod worked. Just bought the game and really tired of the UI, this mod seems like bringing the game up to standards :) unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I would also really enjoy if the author would fix it - greatly appreciate it! Looks fantastic, can't wait to get it working :)

A pitty no one have adopted this great mod and fixed it yet.

@BloodyPenguin, @Boformer, any of you guys have or are using this mod?
Zaza 12 Nov, 2015 @ 4:37pm 
isnt incompatibel????
LWGShane 5 Nov, 2015 @ 4:19pm 
Please update this for AD!
Snacko 18 Oct, 2015 @ 11:39am 
Please fix this great mod. I have stopped using my Triple-Screen mod because more things started acting crazy with the game update. Sure wish I could use this again! :steamfacepalm:
Kodus 30 Sep, 2015 @ 11:36am 
please give us any info if youre going to update this!
daTomas 25 Sep, 2015 @ 6:59am 
@BloodyPenguin Please, please look into Sapphire, with Silicon skin is a different game. Please!
raVen 25 Sep, 2015 @ 4:42am 
Guess the mod isn't working anymore after the update? :/
chessboy 24 Sep, 2015 @ 11:44pm 
Sapphire and the Silicon skin are my 2 favorite mods! Any chance they'll be updated for After Dark compatibility?
Snacko 17 Sep, 2015 @ 12:27pm 
I have had my mainmenu.xml reference commented out in my skins.xml the entire time. And my mainmenu.xlm is empty except for the <UIView> tags. So, that does not seem to be the issue. Wouldn't it be something in his .dll referencing the options?
Stooge 16 Sep, 2015 @ 7:02pm 
The problem is only with the re-skin of the main menu. This is because the main menu options panel changed to allow the option button on mods. Go into your skin you use and edit the mainmenu.xml file. Find the section of XML that starts with
<Component name="(Library) OptionsPanel">
Comment that entire section out all the way up to BUT NOT INCLUDING the line
<Component name="(Library) ConfirmPanel">
Save the xml, start the game, see if that helps. I've heavily modified the skin I use, so I can't recall all the specifics of what I changed to make it work. That was the main part of the issue.

That should point you in the right direction at least. Before anyone asks, no I'm not taking over the mod or doing in-depth troubleshooting. Sorry, life is too hectic at the moment. That and when the damn update comes next week I imagine the fallout will be severe in the world of mods and I don't want to get caught up in owning a new mod right before that happens.
Finwickle 12 Sep, 2015 @ 4:01pm 
@BloodyPenguin I agree with the rest: please create your update for this mod, like you did on so many other good mods.
Commander_Tassiedevil03 11 Sep, 2015 @ 1:52am 
FIX THIS
Snacko 3 Sep, 2015 @ 11:16am 
@BloodyPenguin.. Yes, Please do!
I just created a Skin for for triple-screens , and now I can't play without it. It saves me from having to move my mouse all over my 5760 pixels! I did as little as possible in the skin, just to get stock UI graphics moved. So, I didn't run into many issues. But the few I did, were not game stoppers...
daTomas 3 Sep, 2015 @ 2:39am 
@BloodyPenguin Please do! :)
BloodyPenguin 2 Sep, 2015 @ 8:46pm 
@Snacko From looking at this mod's compatible/incompatible mods list I see that Sapphire is most likely incompatible with mods that provide options button (and entry in options menu). That problem was present in all nlight's mods I've fixed. Maybe it's time to fix this one :)
Snacko 2 Sep, 2015 @ 9:05am 
I don't know why there is a message at the top of this page saying this mod is 'incompatabe' with CS? I have just created a skin for it and it works pretty good. I have (so far) only found 3 mods that don't work with this. (2 zoom mods, and the Build Districts (beta) mod).
Kodus 30 Aug, 2015 @ 4:03pm 
PLEASE UPDATE THIS MOD! :blissful_creep:
_-𝓛𝓾𝔁𝓪𝓷𝓪-_ 11 Aug, 2015 @ 11:08pm 
Please update this mod!:steamfacepalm:
galveston 10 Aug, 2015 @ 5:29am 
Please update this mod!
It's causing lots of trouble when I switched to Win 10. Love the UI mods.
Laptop 2 Aug, 2015 @ 7:39pm 
As this mod has not been updated in so long and the current version is causing problems for people running with their game, I am going to be marking it as incompatible for the time being.

If you decide to start updating this mod again, please drop a comment here and let me know.

Thanks.
agusingnavy 25 Jul, 2015 @ 10:55pm 
@nlight or @someoneelse please update this mod !
idealcastle 16 Jul, 2015 @ 1:44pm 
@daTomas dont use <!-- --> for commenting use /* and */ for entire block. However, the steps below did not solve the issue. I'm looking into it myself. (I also have the same error)
daTomas 16 Jul, 2015 @ 3:23am 
@Stooge I couldn't make it work. I've followed all your steps, and even without commenting out, I get error on start up:

Errors in Detour.cs 82.13 and 105.13, error CS0227

And the Sapphire won't load, it is not in Mod Manager. BTW, I commented out the section in your previous reply with <!-- and -->, is that right? but with that I had some other errors.

@nlight Please, can you fix this? Thanks!
daTomas 15 Jul, 2015 @ 5:25pm 
@Stooge thanks!
Stooge 15 Jul, 2015 @ 4:58pm 
Go here: https://github.com/AlexanderDzhoganov/Skylines-Sapphire

On the right side, towards the bottom, you'll see Download ZIP. Click that, download the source.

Then go to c:\users\<your windows login name>\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods

Create a new directory named Sapphire

Then go into the sapphire folder you just created and create a new folder named Source

Open the zip file and go into the directory named "Sapphire" inside the zip. Extract all the contents into the folder named "source" you made on your local machine.

Open the Mod.Cs file with notepad or your favorite editor. Make the changes I listed in a previous post.

Save it.

Unsubscribe from this mod (so it won't conflict with the source you downloaded)

Start the game.

That should roughly do it. I have Visual Studio so I compile the code, but the game will do it for you if you put it in the folder structure I listed. Hope this helps someone.
daTomas 15 Jul, 2015 @ 3:54pm 
So, this issue isn't fixed yet?

@Stooge, where is this mod.cs file? Can we change it ourselves?
idealcastle 15 Jul, 2015 @ 12:49pm 
Guess he really doesn't care to fix the mod.
"Last Online 7 hrs, 40 mins ago"
idealcastle 15 Jul, 2015 @ 12:40pm 
@Stooge, where do I find that file in the steam location of city skylines?
Stooge 14 Jul, 2015 @ 2:38am 
I grabbed the code and in the mod.cs file I commented out the
try
{
Core.Bootstrap(Skin.ModuleClass.MainMenu);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.LogException(ex);
}
That resolved the issue, but it prevents the ability to skin the main menu. Personally, I can live with that.
Stooge 14 Jul, 2015 @ 1:29am 
I don't know, and I'm still trying to test this out, but I think it has to do with the order in which mods are loaded. If sapphire is loaded first, then a mod that has options, then that mod adds extra panels that aren't there when Sapphire loads. This freaks sapphire out, since there are suddenly new panels added.

Or it coud be that Sapphire just doesn't expect those extra panels, regardless of what order things load in so that freaks it out. Either way, I'm playing around to see if I can find a way to resolve it, but every change requires a restart (which drives me NUTS) so I have no idea how long it will take to resolve it.
DudeFromTheHills 12 Jul, 2015 @ 12:22am 
I know this issue, has to do with mods that have an option button in the mod section of the content manager.
I already fixed it for the main menu but I wasn't able to get rid of the error message ingame.
Maybe that's the point where Sapphire is broken, don't know. Would be nice if someone with more knowledge could check it too.
Ghostrider 9 Jul, 2015 @ 7:34am 
Yeah since the latest patch this mod no longer works keeps throwing up an error each time..

And I am using ClearUI..
DudeFromTheHills 5 Jul, 2015 @ 2:32am 
The mod still works, only the skins need to be updated.
idealcastle 2 Jul, 2015 @ 2:20pm 
seems to have broke since patch.
Br3ss4n 1 Jul, 2015 @ 2:17pm 
Doesn't work anymore since last update 1.1.1b :(
DudeFromTheHills 24 Jun, 2015 @ 11:29am 
@BloodyPenguin:
I love this mod and I really like to work on my own skin when I have time for it (which is not much unfortunately). So I would really love to see this mod evolving more and more. Unfortunately it seems that nlight isn't working on his mods anymore (please correct me if I'm wrong). Because of that I would say: Go and grab this mod! I will support it with creating/supporting skins as long as I have time for it. :)
Scam Likely 23 Jun, 2015 @ 6:31pm 
I think that this problem is not just with this mod. Some other mods are not working too, like hotkey mods and road anarchy. Odd, I didn't see an update, but there could have been one that broke half of the mods.
Drinking Gasoline 22 Jun, 2015 @ 3:55pm 
NON OF THESE SKIN MODS FROM ANYONE WILL WORK FOR ME. just keeps having the original
kamiyo 20 Jun, 2015 @ 3:35pm 
@BloodyPenguin I've got a fix for the Debugger boxes being misplaced for non- 16:9 monitors. Is nlight still maintaining the github (can I make pull requests to it?)
Turbo Soggy 14 Jun, 2015 @ 4:37pm 
Yeah, this doesn't work.
BloodyPenguin 4 Jun, 2015 @ 12:23am 
Guys, I can start working on improving this mod if that's needed (like I did to other nlights works). At this point everything works fine for me with exception of startup error which doesn't seem to affect anything, so at this point I see no reason to duplicate Sapphire in Steam Workshop. What do you think?
jonathan_on 31 May, 2015 @ 12:37pm 
How can I change CTRL+D being developer's mode? I have SHIFT+D as create zone and now every time I want to create a zone it switches to developers mode :/
Also the buttons for straigt/curved/free road and road upgrade aren't in the correct design, instead they appear in the old normal cities vanilla design.
NZ_Wanderer 19 May, 2015 @ 4:16pm 
Luckily it still works even tho we get the error on startup :)
