Parallel Road Tool

Description
Parallel Road Tool
helps you easily drawing parallel and stacked networks.Main features are:
  • Limitless parallel/stacked configurations: you can choose any network (not only roads!) and distances (both horizontal and vertical) to easily create every layout that you want
  • Visual overlay guidelines to help you visualizing what you're going to build before actually building
  • One-way networks support: you can reverse the direction of any one-way network, so that you can easily build highways without needing to manually upgrade direction later
  • Left-hand drive support
  • Upgrade mode: you can add parallel/stacked segments to already existing networks
  • Save/load presets
For new features and/or debugging, you can subscribe to the beta version
Tested on C:S version 1.17.0-f3
Current version: 3.0.4
  • Moved mod core to Harmony for better compatibility with other mods
  • Completely rewritten mod's core logic/engine
  • Fully redesigned and faster UI
  • Improved logic used to enable/disable the mod for a more consistent behavior
  • Added button to sort networks based on their horizontal distance
  • Added button to enable/disable automatic horizontal offset adjusting when changing the main selected network (parallel networks will be shifted to match new network's width)
  • Added button to enable/disable automatic angle compensation: building straight networks with sharp angles can now cause nodes to be moved to produce more pleasing results
  • Added scrollwheel support to horizontal/vertical offsets texts
  • Pressing ALT will now switch building side (use this if upgrading curves produces unexpected results)
  • Fixed a bug preventing trees to be applied to parallel/stacked segments

Description
Saves the current configuration as a preset that can be loaded at a different time.
Loads a saved preset into your current configuration.
Sorts the selected networks by using the horizontal offset in a descending order.
Toggles the angle compensation feature on/off. This feature prevents segments from overlapping when creating straight roads connected using sharp angles.This works by moving the previous node in order to have a better angle for your parallel segments.
Toggles the auto width adjustment feature on/off. This feature automatically adjusts the horizontal offset from the main selected network everytime this changes.The final result is to preserve the relative distance between the original sements and the parallel ones, avoiding overlapping when selecting a larger main network.
Toggles the snapping feature on/off. This feature allows parallel segments to snap to existing nodes that were not created by this mod.

The mod is blocked due to the new game update 1.18.1-f3.
You can't skip it. The radostin04 made a temporary update to bypass this block.

There's a version of the code on github at https://github.com/ST-Apps/CS-ParallelRoadTool . Does anyone have the expertise to find and edit the game version check part of the code?

Has anyone tried just going in and updating the version # to see if the mod actually still functions?

Sadly this seems to be the only one of the more common mods that is completely defunct with the latest update. Sadder: the code probably -would- work just fine, if it didn't self-abort over just the version # change. And there's really no alternative. Yes, Network Multitool includes a parallel tool, and that's great - to ADD a parallel network to one you've already built. THIS one builds them simultaneously, and it's the only mod that does it. S__T? Or can someone else just strip out the check/abort code (assuming that's all it'd take)?
