Creation Sharing Project Münsterland, And Ruhr Nord (temporarily Stopped Due To Adjustments At Google)

Dortmund HBF (Infra and ground update) 3/3

 

Oh wow, Dortmund was always kind of a dream for me in TSW . No chance the route will be extended further to Bochum and Hagen to meet Hauptstrecke Rhein Ruhr and RSN/RRO?

 

I can actually recognise Dortmund already! Well done.

 

I am planning to take the route partly into the Ruhr area

Dortmund Dorstfeld

After several rebuilds it is finally according to my wishes.

 

Sounds awesome!
If that means i get my local station ingame (Witten Hbf) ill be even more hyped

But even if not, your progress really Looks promising, have you considered to apply as a official 3rd party?

 

I have serious doubts about it. to enter into the official 3rd party.

 

Okay, thats your choice Still impressive work and i for sure will follow it how this massive route comes along.

 

Dortmund (? Kirchderne) Gütterbahnhof

 

Zone Dortmund 60% fertig



Dortmund - Preußen fly-over (Infra update, Landscape update)
Nach mehr als 3 Tagen ununterbrochener Arbeit ist es endlich fast fertig.

 

Alle Bahnhöfe der DB51 und 64 sind an die Reiseinformationssysteme angeschlossen. Und die Depart screens.

Der RB63 wurde entwickelt.


KM 0: C-Schulzentrum : 84M Above sea
KM 6: Lutum: 99M Above sea
KM 16: Billerbeck: 130M Above sea
KM 24: Havixbeck: 97M Above sea
KM 30: Münster-Roxel: 67M Above sea

KM 38: Münster HBF 64M Above sea

 

Baubeginn der Baumbergbahn (RB63) (Coesfeld - Billerbeck)

 

Auf der niederländischen Seite der Grenze sind die Entwicklungen noch im Gange. Aufgrund der Probleme mit den Informationen von ProRail ging es hier jedoch etwas ruhiger zu.


Lets test

 

RB63 50% fertig

 

The build of haltepoint De Eschmarke is started
It wil be done tile by tile.



The editor already understands that you need to be able to stand on the platform. A small part has also already been made.

Station name sign's also in the make


The ticket machine are is comming soon

 

NS Ticket machine almost done

 

After a long wait it is finally here. The first look at the RB63. Part Munster HBF - Meckelenbeck Will be added when the RE2 is built.

The info in the first post has been updated!

 

I worked another 2 nights (at top speed) to be able to put a video online today with the missing piece of the RB51 (Dortmund-Dülmen). However, this only concerns the signals/terrain/track location. The scenery come when all the lines are in place.

 

Wow, so great to see Dortmund in Game, what other lines are currently planned to be added to the route?

 

All lines for Version 1

I want to expand it even further in a follow-up version. Then, for example, I also have the connection from Hamm (Westf.) with Wuppertal and Düsseldorf. And S-Bahn network in Dortmund.

 

please have in mind that there are Limits somewhere. its gonna lag if you build to much

 

I know approximately where the limit is. If I were to continue like this, it would only be in the major stations. Currently there is no problem in the editor on my end. Only Dortmund is a bit laggy (but that's not crazy) with so many overhead lines/platforms/signals/switches. It's rendering work every time. But the game itself won't be affected by that. I think that the V2 update is also feasible (because there is not much involved, only the expansion of existing lines).

 

The ground between Coesfeld and Essen HBF is ready

 

Oh wow, this is pretty damn cool. I'm super excited to see where this goes! I'd love to have more routes in the ruhr area to drive my BR 401 on in free roam

 

That will definitely happen. But this also wants to be possible on the Osnabrück - Essen via Münster lines.

 

Build RE14 started

 

Would it be possible for you to connect Dortmund and Essen?

 

It's on the list. but it will take some time. The RE2 is still on the schedule first. And then the RE7 partly. And then comes Essen-Dortmund.

 

First part done

 

i about 1 hour a nieuw view First view of the Maria-Veen - Dorsten - Bottrop HBF railway line

 

Oh RE 14 sounds nice! I know the track between Essen and Bottrop via Essen Borbeck very well! Awesome

 

There i have 3 routes. Whitch one is the right one? I think the one direct to Essen?

 

Question: Are there several people working on the Route or just you? Because I have the feeling that you are currently only building tracks, instead of finishing a Line completely, equipping it with scenery and such... Because that's the only way to find out what the performance will be in the end But so far, I'm otherwise enthusiastic about the progress

 

There is currently 1 builder on the route. The architectural style I use is much easier: first the infrastructure, then the scenery.

 

That and don't forget that there is currently no way to publish completed routes. Will that ever come? I'm not so sure about that anymore.

 

What's preventing people from cooking content they made with Muff's cooking fix and uploading it to trainsimcommunity.com or any other place or their choice?

 

There's currently a limit of 1.5 GB on files uploaded there. That's not set in stone, I can raise that with relative ease, but I'll need to do that. Which will become a necessity when it gets to a point where people start to upload maps. This limit no longer applies.

Some TSW mods are 1 GB as-is, a world with tracks, scenery and models is likely to be much bigger.

 

I think currently is the thing here. The route is clearly very very far from any form of release, even if DTG updated the Editor in half a year it probably wouldnt be ready, given the scale of it. I am confident that editor fixes come, just not when. Probably more like in the summer or later

 

the route will take a long time. the reason for this is that many objects also need to be named. and that is where the problem lies. create in blender and then import into tsw. there is a scaling error in there. blender is 1 to 1. in tsw it is 0.1 to 0.1. and that makes it very complex.

but also take into account. my work situation. And because I travel a lot myself, this could all take much longer.

I work 3 to 4 days a week. so I don't have much time to work on the route those days. In addition, I also travel in Germany 2 days a week (so it is mainly on the days that I am sick or feeling tired that I can work on it)

but I can already tell you what the environment and such will be like.

This is done in the same order as the infrastructure installation.
1. rb64
2. rb51
3. rb63
4. re14
5. r2/42
6. re7
7. all other lines

Many videos and photos will be made with the current status for this purpose. Now I use Google Street View a lot (which is not yet available in many places)

 

Today I mainly worked on debugging the signals. While testing the RE14 I noticed a few buggy signals. These should now be resolved. I also worked to connect Maria-Veen to Coesfeld (Westf.) (This is a very complicated and complex piece. Because there is a lot of height difference for a diesel line.

 

The difference in scaling is because the default unit in Blender is centimeters, not meters. There is a project setting for that somewhere in Blender, but I usually forget to set it, too.

 

I think it's the exact opposite, TSW editor is in centimeters and blender is in meters. For static meshes there is an export setting in blender, if you export to FBX and have the right settings enabled then TSW editor will subsequently scale the model to reflect the different units on import.

Where it gets really nasty though is animations. For some reason the automatic import scaling stops to work there, so best to make sure you've set your blender units to centimeters before rigging your model.

 

You are absolutely right! Sorry about that; you caught me in the middle of a busy day at work.

 

Last week I worked on the complicated piece Bottrop HBF - Essen. This is partly complete. Now only Essen HBF - Until the connection remains.

 

The Station of Essen Borbeck is kinda interesting here, because to the one sie, you can see a parking lot as well as the trams (once a week, there is a market) and to the other side, there is a rather big bus station with several bus lines starting/ending there. I'm excited to see how it will be represented ingame!

 

I found that part particularly irritating because of the height differences. And the many stations there are.

 

last part also connected Essen HBF - Essen Frohnhausen INCL the spiderweb to Dortmund

Terain Build started for RE2 and 42. 27-03-2024 At 01:47h Dutch Time

compleet map at this moment

 

Love the idea. It’s a shame that the route doesn’t actually connect to the NS network at Enschede anymore. Hoping to see more Dutch routes being built!

 

The problem is the signals and level crossings. Everything that has to be made for the Netherlands. I hope to eventually make Dutch lines in the future, and also Belgian ones, but then I have to be good at 3D modeling. And knowing how everything should be scripted.

 

Nachdem ich fast zwei Wochen lang krank war, erklärte ich, dass es mir wieder besser ging. Heute werde ich anfangen, jede Zeile, die ich mache, zu bereisen (um zu sehen, ob sie richtig ist).

Es wird also noch an dem Projekt gearbeitet, aber weniger. ab nächster Woche noch etwas mehr.

 

Junge die Geschwindigkeit mit der hier die Kilometer gebaut werden ist ja Wahnsinn Bin sehr gespannt auf den weiteren Verlaif des Projekts.

The speed at which kilometers are being built here is insane. I'm very curious about the further progress of the project.
