One of my items flagged as "incompatible" ???

[Zed68]

@TotalyMoo I need some explanation about this :

"Incompatible" ??? Really ???
Subbed by 13000 people and seen in many many screenshots already and it could be "incompatible" ?

Oh and I recieved a mail to signal me there was a problem

Dear zed68tonyr,

Thank you for your Steam Workshop Contribution Cim Hospital (Bigger Classic Hospital).

Unfortunately, for various reasons, the developers of "Cities: Skylines" had to flag it as "incompatible", so it cannot be used within "Cities: Skylines".

You can learn more about what kinds of items are accepted and why certain items are marked as "incompatible" here: http://www.skylineswiki.com/

It would be the devs who did it, really??
So... explanations please.

The model appears to be from CIM? Guessing they don't want their models being republished?

I've often wondered what the protocol is here with using Cim and Cim2 models...I use the comet sun bus from CIM2, but only for personal use.

 

[Zed68]

As it's the same publishers, and even the same devs... and as I've already seen CIM models (including this one) in the workshop, I can't see the point of this.

I think it might be against the CIM2 EULA, (and the workshop one too maybe. I haven't looked into it) but as you said there are more ported models on the workshop, so it didn't seem to be an issue before.

 

[Zed68]

hmpffff... I must agree that maybe it's an honest reason for this.

But still... same devs, same publisher, no sales hurt whatsoever, I would have hoped for some more "friendly" reaction.

Oh and btw... this version : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=513008970
I based my work on this, and I actually did it because it had no nightlights... and because it has a 11000 tris lod (basically the guy used the main model as a lod). This HURTS the players. But well... no dev flagged it.

Incompatible means uh... incompatible. Other issues about eula or whatever is a different matter. This needs to be cleared up asap, flagging something incompatible thats not incompatible because you have a grudge against a player or because of other reasons is not only ridiculous but also misleading to the rest of the community. I'd love to see an explanation about this.

Why has this been flagged as incompatible?
If its because it is against the CIM EULA, why has the other CIM model not been flagged as well, and why wasnt Zed contacted by the team to inform him about this issue?
If it's not because of actual compatibility issues with the game, why has this flag been misused and can we expect this sort of unacceptable behavior again?
If its incompatible with the game... why has there been no information given to us modders on how to avoid incompatibility?

I heard that this flag system is actually used for stuff like copyright violations.

Any more news on this? The other asset you mentioned still has no flag on it...

I've been away for a while playing fallout and today I decided to have a read up on this forum and catch up on some C:S news. For some reason I Went from reading the full 3 pages of this thread: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-daylight-co-what-are-you-waiting-for.892137/ where Zed is kicking up a fuss about the too yellow colours (for which I happen to agree) I then had a look in the modding section after that thread and saw this one. Now I don't mean to cast aspersions here at all, maybe it was dumb luck going from that thread to this one but it did peak my curiosity and wonder why other CIM assets haven't had this flag and Zed's has?!? As someone who both enjoys Zed's assets and has the issues with the colours I would like to echo T.P.B.'s sentiments:

Why has this been flagged as incompatible?
If its because it is against the CIM EULA, why has the other CIM model not been flagged as well, and why wasnt Zed contacted by the team to inform him about this issue?
If it's not because of actual compatibility issues with the game, why has this flag been misused and can we expect this sort of unacceptable behavior again?
If its incompatible with the game... why has there been no information given to us modders on how to avoid incompatibility?

 

[TotalyMoo]

Not sure to be completely honest, let me look into it. Both devs and steam moderators have access to flagging items. I sure didn't here so I have to figure out who first.

 

[TotalyMoo]

Was flagged by mistake, has been removed now, thanks for the heads up.

I'm have the same issue. One of my items was marked incompatible, and I can't find a way to contact anyone from Steam about it. This is the item in question
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=864939399
There isn't anything "incompatible" about it. My guess is that someone flagged it because they took issue with the name "basket of deplorables"


I got the same email

"Dear mlwarrenii,

@kingleno Please start a new thread if you are experiencing the issue. Whilst I do appreciate that you searched the forum before posting and found this thread, seeing as it's been over 15 months since the last reply, I'd say it's better if you start a new thread .
