Hello,
I downloaded the mod and used it in my city for a while. Anyways, whenever I try to load that city without the mod, my game crashes. Also, it seems others are not able to visit my city. they either get error message or their game crashes. It is only one city that has the problem though. My other cities are fine since I didn't play them with the mod. Any suggestions as to how to fix the issue?
Thanks

Hello!
Usually that isn't so  Do you use some other mods?

[ayrus]

I used Larger Plazas Mod while also using your mod. Now though I took the Plaza mod out of Paks folder but the problem still persist. Also, only when I remove your mod and attempt to enter my city does the game crash. If I have the mod in my folder, it works just fine though.

I'm pretty sure that your problem isn't because of our cameramod, but because of the larger plazas mod.
The larger plazas mod modifies "real" game data(buildings...), while ours doesn't:it modifies only "how you do see" your city

[Oliver 'Flachzange']

I also think the larger plazas mod is the problem. It put a "new" kind of building into the game, so guests they haven't that mod cannot visit your city.
I'm not sure, but I think that's the problem

Hello
This problem has nothing to do with larger plazas and I can confirm that the game crash if you use the camera mod then remove it. All will work fine after you put back camera mod into paks folder.
The problem happens when you load your city and that it tries to set the camera to an "unexisting camera", so if you start a city with the camera mod, you're condemned to use it forever in that city.

Plazas mod modifies existing bats, that's true, but if you remove the mod, the bat still exists... Only design size is limited.

Just have a look in the log file after a crash if you still doubt about that... but it's definitely the camera mod removal that causes that.

This problem should be fixable, shouldn't it, Oliver?

[Oliver 'Flachzange']

Yes, we are working on this problem now! Thank you for posting this problem 

[Moaku]

I see 2 problems...
1) the easiest fix to this would be to give existing names to your cameras... however I didn't checked if it's possible or not (if the unique cam id is the cam name, that way of fixing it won't work)
2) If you update your mod with changed camera names, all users that will upgrade from the unfixed version to the fixed will have to delete their existing cities because they will crash when loading, since cam in savegame won't exist

However, good luck

uninstall camera mod? no problem:

Upload the city simply in the panoramic view on the server, uninstall kameramod, done.

[Oliver 'Flachzange']

We are really sorry for the big problems with the new version of the mod and we are still working on this problems. I hope you will understand this!

Best regards
Oliver

If you want my opinion, I think the "uninstall" issue isn't a major problem... and don't NEED to be fixed... But you should include a note in main post about it to inform that once you install it, you'll have to be carefull when removing it and may not be able to enter cities that were using it...

Btw... "Please download version 2.1 if you have 1.1" is not a change log that makes me wanting to update... can you specify what changed between these two ? even if it's just bugfix, it's still good to know... I like to know why I update something, especially when I have no issue with old version.

[Oliver 'Flachzange']

If you save the game in panoramic view, before you uninstall the mod, it works 

Sorry, I want to do this, but I think it will be better, when André is translating it...

Oh and I've forget to update the english thread on version 2.2...
