[TFGM] Train Fever Game Manager

Yep it was agreed with UG that a new line is added to the info.lua of a mod/dlc that specifically marks it as a dlc/mod so the Gamemanagers could differintiate between those and would be able to install it accordingly.
But TFMM is developed by Xanos who is a Siteadmin. Shamed be he who thinks evil of it.

Das ist so nicht korrekt DofD. Ich weiß nicht, wo du solche Informationen her hast. Es gibt keine offizielle Ankündigung von Urban Games dazu noch nutzt das Spiel solch eine Zeile in der info.lua. Da es nicht möglich ist beliebige Mods als DLC zu installieren, würde solch ein Eintrag eher zu Fehlern bei der Installation führen. Das Nordische DLC ist wie auch das USA DLC fest in die EXE integriert (D.h. es ist hardcoded.)

Zudem habe ich versucht, Gwinda das zu erklären. Scheinbar kam es da aber aufgrund der Sprachbarriere zu Missverständnissen. Grundsätzlich möchte ich, daß das DLC mit beiden Modmanagern funktioniert. Dazu ist es unabdinglich, daß man Lösungen untereinander abspricht.

Ansonsten bitte solche Unterstellungen unterlassen. Danke.

@DofD TFMM is just doing the same thing the game does: identifying the DLC based on its ID and nothing else.
Everybody has the right to do the same thing, no one is stopping gwinda from doing it and noone can dictate the creators of the DLC to use any other method of identifying their work. So where is the problem here? ... -_-

As far as I know you should have had access to the DLC all the time as you are a creator. I did not have access until my manager supported it, which was a condition by the mediziner.
Being a moderator does not bring any special rights or whatsoever. I did not contribute to the DLC soni had no access
The email conversion was long before I did any integration at which point I simply asked if such tag will be included in the info.lua or not. And as it was not stated that such tag will be present nor it was in the test file I got for verification I did not saw any reason at all too include support for such tag and simply did not do it.
I did check my mail sent in September and I did state that tfmm will only use the name.
I'm sorry if you feel left out but in don't really see at which point we missleaded you

Now this discussion, I did not really want.

Why you not just add the one line into the info.lua? The TFMM is ignore them, because he does not know them and TFGM know what to do and everyone is happy again?

He approved that you can use it, he did not approved that I have to use it
In general, urban games allowed the use of custom properties in the info.lua way back when the file was introduced.
I can just say again: as long as the game does not use something in the file and I do not see any benefit in using it: why should I?
But now that everything's working its fine
By the way: merged double posting.

Tried to install the nordic dlc via the latest TGFM. It gets correctly installed into dlc directory but the shaders do not get installed. Do I have to install them manually when I'm using TGFM?

After installing the nordic dlc the vehicle list of TGFM is not working any more. It shows the error "'51.5' is not a valid interger value" when I try to reload the vehicle list and the list stays empty.

This is not really TFGMs fault. Copying the files into res folder is only a workaround until UG releases its final patch. Then shaders should be used from the folder they are already installed to.

Thank you, I will copy them manually. Git is taking care of cleaning up when the final patch arrived.

I'm unable to register any of Bandions railway stations:

Bahnhof "Der Düsseldorfer"
Regiostation
Bahnhof 1900
Bahnhof Viersen

The log says:

I can register the brick station:

New Station Industrie/Brickstyle

But TGFM silently doesn't install it.

The log says:

2255 INSTALL SELECTED MODS
2220 INSTALL MOD BRICK1.2_STANDALONE
2244 Brick1.2_standalone is of an unknown origin 'Plain' or type ''
2247 END : INSTALL MOD BRICK1.2_STANDALONE

I also suspected a faulty mod. The best solution is ofcourse to handle a faulty format if it is possible. The second best solution is an error massage that the mod is malformed and can not bei handled by TFGM. Simply doing nothing or a cryptic error message is not that great.

I appreciate it very much that you are improving TFGM to handle even malformed mods. Thank you very much.

Trying to register one of @Bandions stations gives a nice dialog box now telling me about the malformed mod. The attempted register then still fails:

I tried to send a report but I don't know if it did work. The dialog box which should show the result of the sending show only the blue icon but no result text or number.
