Placing Doodads

[unmerged(436056)]

I noticed the map editor lets you place various buildings, props, etc in the game with a cost. Why does this appear and how do I place bits and pieces like fences etc in the live game?

It looks weird placing a railway line but not being able to hide it behind hedges, trees, fences, etc (especially when I had an overground rail next to the pavement on the road! That'd need a fence).

The price appears just for a reference. That is the price your company will have to pay if you decide to demolish this prop, building, etc.

To place fences and other props while in game, you need a mod called Build Menu: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?539901-MOD-Build-menu-in-game

AAARGH! The mod was hosted on Megaupload and I delayed downloading it. >.<

Seems to be a copyright problem. I dont know if you will get the latest version. I believe my version is the latest. If you have any problems tell me and I send you the mod.

Just for the record the mod is original from Stevebone (from the link) and was updated by speedking34.

What update? What you can see here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?539901-MOD-Build-menu-in-game

I'll give that a try. Thanks

EDIT - Instant crash

Are you sure you didn't replace any files? Maybe it's conflicting with other mods.

Also try deleting settings.script in My Documents/Cities in Motion and run the game again.

Sorry, turns out I was putting it in my Addons Folder when it should have gone in the game folder. Works perfectly, thanks!
