Tutorial Let's Cook! Guide To Cooking And Packaging Projects In The Editor

That's the problem. I'm able to successfully cook said asset file(s) and when i go to generate a .pak file with the use of a responsefile.txt file, it creates a blank .pak file and as a result, dose not get red by the game.

 

And if you use UnrealPak.exe from the UE4.26 editor? That's what I'm using. And is your responsefile setup correctly?

 

I believe so, here is my responsefile.txt | Also is my .ugc file and cook command done right?

 

Responsefile is wrongly formatted the mounting point slashes must be unix style forward slashes and to my knowledge TS2Prototype should be included. That is packing a plugin under the ...\Cooked\WindowsNoEditor folder starting with TS2Prototype\Plugins\DLC\etc... where your asterix is

Try this one:

Code:

"D:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\EpicGamesApps\Common\TrainSimWorld5MOD\TS2Prototype\Plugins\DLC\KP_3CAR_COOK_PAK_TEST\Saved\Cooked\WindowsNoEditor\*" "../../../TS2Prototype"

I'm doing it a bit differently. I have a dedicated "Paking" folder where I move my modded plugins and just doubleclick my .bat file that outputs the pak in a specified output folder. No typing for me.

 

Ok, I'll give it ago and let you know if anything happens.

 

Not sure it works - as I said this is the setup I'm using which is my own tree of files starting from TS2Prototype\ - I'm not sure what follows in your Cooked folder, maybe the folder structure is different (haven't cooked with TSW editor yet)

 

I honestly don't know as, I've tried everything and nothing is working. Maybe there's yet another problem with official editor. I would appreciate that if someone or DTG themselves posted a tut vid on YT showing how it is done as sometimes text-based tutorials like this one may not work for everyone.

I've already wasted 7years of my life trying to mod GTA5 with no credible gain and I'm not willing to do the same for TSW

 

With TSW 5 editor i'm still getting the old erros!

import failed for Bookmarks in: ((00000000000000000000000000000000
import failed for GraphEditorQuickJumps in: ((0, ()))

Also getting "uasset is being referenced by DLC!" errors

Can the PC editor support team have a look at this please !

anyone else having problems cooking like this?

 

When I load the packed file into the steam version and spawn nothing out of other dlcs are there. for example the platform i used from munich augsburg are not loaded this is my ugc fille:

"DLCDependencies": [ "MunichAugsburg","DuisburgBochum" ],

 

Would be nice to have a list of the DLCs so we know what tpo put in DLC dependencies.

 

I don't think its an issue now?

 

is anyone else still getting " Error: Engine or Game content xxxxx is being referenced by DLC!"??, i'm using TSW5 editor with Czech cooking 2.2, still can't get to work!

Help please!

 

same Mistake sadly

 

Download TSW4 , then TSW4 editor and cook way

 

Cook with TSW4 editor, you will need TSW4 game and czech cooking 1.3 installed

 

Is TSW pc editor working at all in-terms of being able to create/cook/pakage into .pak file? also should i be using official tools provided by DTG or use third party tools in-conjunction with DTG TSW5 editor?

 

If you use "stock assets, as in unmodified assets" I believe the TSW5 editor will cook fine, but for me using "child class copys" of original assets is causing the cook to fail on TSW5, but working in TSW4 editor , something to do with DLC handling.
I've re-skinned some stock to reflect the period I'm setting my timetable in, works fine in TSW4 editor and game , but 5 doesn't, strange.

 

Alright. Would you say that, creating a custom consist, custom scenario or timetable would work flawlessly when using TSW5 editor?

 

as long as its not referencing another asset, yeah I suppose

 

Hi everyone, I have now managed to cook and pak my MSB timetable for the first time using the steps in this thread, but it isn't showing up in game (I knew it would be a small wonder if it did from the first attempt).

I didn't use Trainsimcz's mod, as everything seemed to work with the default cook & pak tools.

What's a good starting point to start troubleshooting?

 

is anyone with more technical knowledge know why i cant get this small mod package to load in game? i even tried copying the same thing from stock file and made slight adjustments on my file but still cant get it seen in-game.

 

UPDATE:
ive managed to sort this out with the train sim community help.

 

Is it a timetable mod or assets mod ?, timetables only show up if a) it simulates correctly with no errors, b) using standard stock

 

Can you elaborate on what you mean with "using standard stock"? I am having issues with my MSB timetable not showing up ingame. I'm using probably about a hundred custom formations (that are cooked with the plugin) in my timetable. Everything seems to cook correctly, and the cook packs ok too. The timetable (about 1500 services) is simulated 100% without any warnings.

 

Are all the "custom formations" got the correct options ticked in the RVD definition , start with Drivable (for locos / cabs), is selectable, Available for user scenarios. create a separate timetable with 1 or 2 services and simulate that with those options ticked, reduce the hours in the timetable to 2 or 3 hours, good luck!

 

Good afternoon, I'm having a problem getting reskin trains to appear in TSW5, I'm using Czech trains 2.3 cooking tools, listing all DLC's referenced by my timetable, but none of the re-livered trains show up (static or player trains), child class unmodified trains show, and some re-livered coaches, but nothing that's had the RVV modified, how do you get modified RVVs to show in TSW5?... I'm cooking, then distributing ticking TSW5 file, clicking original content, listing all DLCs, but no modified trains are showing in game, help please!

 

Has anyone managed to cook a route with CZ tools 2.3 using other route DCL's?
