This is a little app I've been working on, and I think (hope :-D) it is ready for public release. The goal is to mimic the overlay you see in Cab videos, showing the current location and possibly other interesting facts. It works by using the Lat/Long coordinates provided by the TSW API. Using them you can use the app to mark various locations on the route, which then will be shown as a overlay when you pass near them. Prerequisites TSW needs to be run in Windowed Fullscreen or in windowed mode (Exclusive Fullscreen doesn't work). TSW needs to be run with its HTTP API Enabled Installer, instruction, as well as the source code can be found on the projects Gitlab page: https://gitlab.com/winzarten/tsw-route-annotations This will currently work only for Steam version, and possibly Epic (not tested). To support windows store version I need to know what's the user directory where i.e. engine.ini is kept (for steam it's My Games\TrainSimWorld5\) Hopefuly someone will find it usefull, question, ideas are welcomed. And note, it is first version, so.. there will be bugs ;-)
If engine.ini location is important, you may wish to note that not all machines store it in the regular My Games location. For instance, for some reason known only (maybe) to Microsoft, on my machine (Steam) the location is OneDrive\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld5\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Thankfully this is already solved by using the OS to provide the location of 'my games' folder. The only thing that I need to handle are the various suffixes DTG uses for each version location.
The problem is that my system, for example, has multiple instances of 'My Games' and I have not discovered what rules it is using to decide which folder to use. The OneDrive location seems, with some exceptions, to be mainly various editions of TSW. I would add that the main installations of TSW are on a completely different drive in the usual SteamLibrary folder.
I've pushed a new version, here - https://gitlab.com/winzarten/tsw-route-annotations/-/releases/1.2.0 I've added icons for the various location types, as well as autoupdate functionality, so there will be a notification when a new version is released. I'm also attaching some of the routes I've so far been able to annotate. Just extract the .zip and use the import functionality from within the app to import the TSWRoute file. i.e. One of the files contains Kassel - Würzburg, with all tunnel names and most of the viaduct names, with both the Frankfurth routes and Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn (all these routes share the same origin).
