    Hello, I was recently trying some modding with simple file replacements. More specificly replacing the default diorama with some of the old Mastery ones, which are still in the files, but the game seems to just ignore the new pak file.

    Since I can't repackage even "known good" mods. Are there any extra steps when packaging for TSW2 compared to the original TSW? I tried using both u4pak and 4.26 version of UnrealPak but both attempts were unsuccessful.

    Hello, when the upgrade to 4.26 happened I believe they also mandated pak files having compression applied, which was not the case previously. Therefore if you run the basic UnrealPak command to constuct a pak file it won't be picked up by TSW, since it now ignores anything that isn't compressed. The simplest solution: After you have made your .pak file, as an extra step run this powershell against it: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...utilities/i1353-tsw2-423-to-426-mod-converter.

    Thanks for the answer. It looks like it's working now.

    The old dioramas where really beautiful especially the one from MSB or RSN. Any chance a mod with these could be made / shared

    Yeah I made all of them into Paks, including the unreleased Oakville and ECW one so I might share it.

    Yes please share these if you can, maybe on trainsimcommunity?
    I don't think I actually unlocked any of these mastery dioramas they look so good - so much better than that dark shed thing we get now.. Why not use these now as default DTG, why??

    Tomas posted his diorama pack mod on TSC. Can't wait to get home and download this. A big thank you for your fantastic work Tomas9970 , we now have a bunch of great looking dioramas to choose for ourselves just like in the good old TSW 2020 days

    Oh I hope I didn't spoil your suprise :). When someone uploads a mod so desired like this people notice really fast :D. (You should also post the link from your diorama mod here for better visibility)

    Congrats and thanks again !
