Add support for DLC
Describe the bug
The mod does not support buildings and other things added by DLCs. Even if everyone connected has the DLC, the buildings do not display and are replaced by basic buildings.
How to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Start a game with DLCs enabled
- Join the host
- Place a building of a DLC and look at what is happening on the Client side and the Server side
Expected behavior
Normally, the DLC building should be placed correctly if all connected people have the DLC. If this is not the case, then do not build anything and send a message to the users to warn that everyone does not have the DLC rather than building a random buggy building.
Screenshots
Here is an example with the DLC "Green Cities" :
View of the person building the building :
View of the person who does not build the building :
You can see that when someone builds a DLC building (here an Ecological Water Outlet), this person sees the right building but the other people see a random buggy building.
Additional context
To get this bug, we both had the DLC "Green Cities" loaded.
Another example
If the client connects to the server on a different map than the server, some bugs appear.
Note: We have not tested with two vanilla maps*. We have tested with a "Snowfall" DLC map on the server and a classic vanilla map* on the client.
*What I call "Vanilla Map" is the maps that everyone has access to with the basic game, without DLC.
Note: The Client did not have the DLC "Snowfall" unlike the server that had the DLC.
Here is the screen of the view of the person who had the DLC map "Snowfall" (Server) :
As you can see, when the client builds a road, this strange thing appears on the server side.
This concludes the summary of this problem.
A little message for developers
I know that for the moment you are focusing on the synchronization of all vanilla elements but I still wanted to mention this problem :)
Also, your mod is fantastic and many people were waiting for it with great impatience ! It's good to see this mod finally working ! :') You're doing a great job ! Thank you very much for all ! :D
That is interesting, i would have thought it would work, if both had the same DLC. Do i understand it correctly, that both own the same DLC Green Cities, but also have different DLC's installed?
Yes that's right ! Personally, I have all the DLCs in the game. But my friend does not own them all. He only has some of them. So we have some DLCs in common (example : Green Cities).
The bug is probably caused by the infoindex pointing at different prefabs, it could make it harder to support DLC's and custom assets, we will have to see :)
Next time, please, at least have the decency and read the FAQ, before bothering developers. Thanks https://github.com/DominicMaas/Tango/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#are-dlcs-supported
Next time, please, at least have the decency to look at the publication dates of the posts before posting this kind of comment. Thanks.
(It's thanks to me that they added this to their FAQ.)
Hey @ZeNico13, @motey's comment was an answer to a different recent comment, which was deleted, so this seems to be a misunderstanding :)
