Hmm I thought you group mods by Harmony version, dump to the log and then test for duplicates to show UI?

[originalfoo]

It finds duplicate assemblies by name, then it scans mods (in a basic manner) to find which contian that assembly and that's what gets dumped in to the log.

[kianzarrin]

I have several questions:
1- what does the main list do?

2- I have NS2 | Hide Crossings | TMPE | remove need for pipes and I get the following log:

[Info]  DuplicateAssemblyScanner v1.1.0.29903
[Info]  Enabled
[Info]  SettingsUI
[Info]  Scanning app domain assemblies for duplicates...
[Info]  # '0Harmony' assembly exists in mods:
[Info]    - v2.0.0.0 /1934023593 'RM Crossings V2.5'
[Info]    - v1.2.0.1 /576997275 'Remove Need For Pipes'
[Info]  SettingsUI
[Info]  SettingsUI

TMPE is also using v1.2.0.1 but it is not listed. Are you printing only one mod per assembly? It would help me with debugging this bug if you print all mods using the duplicate assembly.

3- If I NS2 uses a custom build of harmony V2.0.0.0 and another mod uses the official build of Harmony V2.0.0.0 can you tell them apart?

PS: its hard to tell assemblies apart if they have same name and version. I found this link that uses file hash to tell them apart: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2735643/how-can-i-tell-whether-two-net-dlls-are-the-same

[originalfoo]

1. What do you mean by "main list"?
2. The current approach to scanning for an assembly associated with a mod relies on the list of assemblies reported by plugin info for the mod: https://github.com/CitiesSkylinesMods/DuplicateAssemblyScanner/blob/master/DuplicateAssemblyScanner/DuplicateAssemblyScanner/Util/Assemblies.cs#L90
   • If anyone knows a better way, please send PR :)
   • I have no idea why game lists the assembly for some mods and not others
3. Not currently, I just grab the assembly version and don't do any additional checks. See link in 2. above for method that does that.
   • Could potentially use md5 hash (from older version of FPS Booster mod) or get the Guid's?

EDIT: Added issues to track issues that Kian flagged.

[kianzarrin]

@aubergine10 What do you mean by "main list"?

Remember you said:

Post details in a comment below and I'll update the main list.

2. thanks for clearing that up.

I have no idea why game lists the assembly for some mods and not others

Interesting ... I guess its because it does not load duplicate assemblies so it does not register them. This might render that whole md5 hash thing useless if the game does not re-load assemblies of the same version.

[originalfoo]

if the game does not re-load assemblies of the same version

See #9

main list

Edited OP to make it clearer that I'll update the list in OP to include all results so people don't have to read through whole thread. The goal is that we get a list of which mods contain Harmony and (where possible) the version.

[ljp1776]

Hello, I am not a modder but I noticed a issue with CSL and wanted to help, Thought the duplicates was the issue and it solved one problem, but the main this I have is the game weather a new one was started or an old one was started didn't matter it still get corrupted and I don't know where to begin, cause all the mods that I download seam to corrupt the game somehow. If you could help with suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. well here is the log file.

Well it pays to read so I attached the actual log file 🥇
DuplicateAssemblyScanner.log

[originalfoo]

@ljp1776 The settings screen (SettingsUI) created when a mod is enabled (eg. loading cities.exe), and again when a city is loaded, and again if you return to main menu.

Your log shows you've loaded multiple cities in same session, which breaks most mods. Always exit to desktop before loading another city to reset the mods.

[ljp1776]

wait, what? I understand some of what your saying, but I don't understand the multiple cities thing, cause when a game freezes or whatever it does when it gets jerky I can only exit to desk top, I think it has something to do with how I am bypassing the Paradox launcher and running the game straight from steam, and dining that I had a bit of trouble not knowing the lingo or what a file was

I noticed today that Prefab Hook popped up as being no longer compatible. Also since Sort Mod Settings has been updated even though it is seems to be the same version of Harmony it is now compatible which had been been listed as incompatible previously. I also have some some mods not listed above.

I have also not posted about Painter because I understand it is a very old version of Harmony and it is my own issue if I make the choice to keep it. I had originally very briefly asked boformer about Painter on 4/20 on the Harmony page where he mentioned some special code was written "sort of". I did see the output log message of "Stone Age Harmony Skipping this one".

However there has to be a reason it will work completely and totally fine, then will up and stop. It loads just fine but no color changes happen nor do any of my color changes I had show yet there will be no errors in the logs regarding it whatsoever. But then, all of the sudden, it works. All my colors come back etc etc. and then a few days later it stops. He, boformer, did offer possibly loading Painter or Network Skins locally to force one or the other to load first as that may be the reason it sometimes works and sometimes does not. If there was another mod like this one I would never keep it as I despise errors of all kinds and hate incompatibilities. As a detailer I use this mod more than many, if not most, of my other mods. But I understand I may be trying to hang on to something that will just have to be let go :(
