However,thank you for making this wonderful mod for us.

Maybe I can help

 

Monty,
Here's a question regarding what looks like a shader crash and I do have this mod installed correctly in the mods folder. I saw the problem above from gcyzidane and his screenshot error message has some common elements with what I see. I ended up meticulously retyping error message when I couldn't get it to allow me to copy it. I'm wondering if you can solve this problem by tweaking this shader mod? It would fill a hole in XXL, no real amusement buildings like the 3 in this cool mod. There are at least 4 ratings on the mod requesting an update for XXL. Can you help?

I beta tested the XL Amusement Park by Uokiok 1.10 in XXL (under XL - Buildings - Arts & Leisure page 2) and get this error message when I build one of the 3 amusement park items. I can place an item and start the clock running a few seconds as it builds then the game crashes to desktop with this error message:

s_EffectFactory_CreateCompliedEffect Error

D3DComplie has failed

Press OK to Retry

I end up having to use task manager to end the program as the click to retry is endless. It looks like some kind of shading error, something to do with NIGHT_LIGHTNING.

I have the mod - Fix for old mods shader crash errors (XXL) 1.0 by Monty. I have the latest Community Mod 2.08 as well as the Furniture Dependency pack 1.7 mod. I have other Uokiok mods that work fine although I think I've tried some that didn't.

I hope some modder can figure out what the problem is and can get this awesome amusement park mod working in XXL which lacks amusement parks. Is there a solution by tweaking a shader mod in XXL? Can this mod be updated for XXL perhaps skipping the shader problem encountered here? I sure hope someone can get this mod working for XXL as it would certainly fill a hole in the game's buildings.

 

Monty,
YOU ARE A WIZARD!!!!!!! I tested out this new shader mod beta and found it works well with the XL Amusement Park by Uokiok. I'm really glad I invested the time to meticulously retype the error message I saw so you could have an idea of the problem. Thankfully there were no other hidden problems. I took out the old 1.0 shader mod as you suggested and replaced it with this new beta version.

First I tested it in my brand new Monterey city and found all three items worked, even though Monterey still has no population or city hall. Then I tested the Amusement Park mod in my massive Flachlandstadt city that has population and city hall and indeed all three worked. The only flaw is that the Characteristics screen doesn't show for any of the three items. Kind of a bummer for the Pirate Ship swing since it has an upgrade that switches which way the pirate ship faces when swinging, in effect giving us two versions. However it's not so important to have those information screens as it is to have all three items working. The rollercoaster has a working rollercoaster running along the tracks, the Drop item has baskets going up the 3 poles to then drop down and the Pirate Ship swings!

Obviously this warrants yet another video tribute, although it may take a little while coming as I'm just getting my new Monterey city started. It's going to be so awesome to make my own version of Dennis the Menace Park, getting the old XL Amusement Park working to fill it up with cool amusement stuff. Plus now others will be able to use that old XL mod in XXL, a definite gain for us XXL players. Once again thanks so much Monty!

 

Thank you to you both!

 

Do not forget to perform an official update of this patch, Thank you

 

Monty,
Totally awesome problem solving! I'm so happy to be able to use the old XL amusement park mod now. I was wrong, I couldn't wait to give you a video tribute and actually had to wait a few days until you posted this officially. I did save the amusement park placement and tribute to this shader fix mod for last near the end of this video. I wish I could give this mod a 100 stars rating, now we have the XL carousel and amusement mods working in XXL. I also can't wait to plant your Xmas tree all over my new Monterey city.

 

Drazicdesign,
I can't wait for you to make your Rocks collection mod official. Don't be shy modeling bird poop since I'll be using these for shoreline rocks. I really like what you've done with them.
