    If one day we figure out those timing data then you will create timetables the same way like DTG is doing it. Right now you can create like that only scenarios. 24h timetable is much bigger task which need full workign logic and thats not our target for now.

    Honestly, your idea made a lot more sense to me at first than whatever I was trying to do, so I tried it, and basically spent most of the last 2 days trying to make it work, but I just couldn't, and the blueprint editor keeps constantly crashing at random moments too when I work with a class that inherits from that original BP file, so it just isn't really a good experience. My solution might be very hacky and ugly, but it's still the only one I could get any working results from. Still, thanks a lot for the help! If I end up investigating other things I want edited I'll definitely give your advice another try.

    Edit: the crashes are a known issue with the BP files I was trying to edit so that one was on me

    Here is a example after a bit of testing. I do nag about the repeating (empty) walls and texture usage so I decided to 'fix' some of them. And while waiting for a train, you can also build a sandcastle. ;) Thanks for the hard work on the UUEE..

    You'll need to of joined the Epic Games organisation on GitHub to be able to download it. This page explains in more detail how to download the editor: https://tsweditor.github.io/docs/install
    It has to be distributed through GitHub as it includes a modified version of Unreal Engine so I can't send it over discord.

    For dtg this must be very embaressing. Thats what happens when a dev hold back a feature for years and give only a very limited variety (scenario planner).

    This goes clearly in the right direction. The editor is another core part, which makes ts (still) to the better sandbox game. Looks like this will change now.

    In this case good modders took action. I appreciate the top work.

    A small update on ArosaLine. Fixing some mountains, just to see what is possible in the editor. I hope somewhere in the future it will be possible to remove assets on a tile.

    You can't open a map file, watch from 15:00 how to make a tile to use in a map. Expect crashes here and there though.

    Looks great, Sadly removing assets from a tile probably won't ever be possible as it would require editing an existing cooked tile.

    Wouldn’t one way be screwing up the path to the asset in the file through hex editing? This would obviously remove all occurrences of the asset from the tile.

    Yep, I think that would work. One method I used on my PIS mods was to make the material for the old passenger boards transparent so even though they were still in the world they weren't visible. But that'll also hide every instance of the object.

    First off thank you so much for taking the time out to get an Unreal Editor made up for this game... But I'm afraid I'm feeling like a total noob right now...

    I've extracted the Windows-No-Editor.pak to the X:\TSW2Editor\TS2Prototype\Content and the SandPatch Grade DLC to the plugin folder, it shows up in the editor and I follow the basic tutorial that was in the video creating a scenario folder that contains formations, tiles, the scenario data object and time table.

    I duplicated the ContentManifest to make edits under the main Sandpatch plugin and cook the mod... That fails not sure if its supposed to but the content does show up in the saved folder under the plugin... I splice that into where I believe that it should go path wise but it doesn't show up in game....

    Any idea what I'm doing wrong lol? Pulling what's left of my hair out...

    Again Thank you so much for all your efforts.

    You can include it in the original SandPatch plugin as shown in the video but it's best as it's own plugin. That way it won't conflict with any other mods. The editor normally says it failed to cook content but the cooked files have actually been cooked and are located in the 'saved' folder you found.

    I recently updated the docs site to include information on creating new plugins and packaging mods so hopefully that should help:

    Hi. Is it possible to make Sub Mods with this editor? If so, how?

    yes, that would involve either editing an existing formation or creating a new formation that can sub into an existing formation.

    Can you also add some forests on the mountains? For trees you select an area an trees get automatically placed in that area as a forest (spline like) or you need to do them 1 tree at a time (suicide mode)?
    Some trees and proper textures would read push Arosa visuals up :)

    I haven't really decided what will be in it. v0.3 is probably going to be around September or as soon as it's ready after the summer update. I may release a slightly smaller update between then fixing some bugs but not planning on anything big.

    The unreal foliage tool has a paint feature where it'll randomly place different sized trees in an area you paint. But I don't think there is a way to select a specific area.

    Seconded!

    I would love to see this kind of thing added to NTP, especially around the bare and plain looking moors.

    I suspect there is a lot of work but NTP would become even more amazing with that level of foliage.

    Well, there is the procedural foliage tool, which is intended to automatically scatter objects within a defined area but painting might still be more intuitive.

    The problem with some of the moors on NTP is they are quite far from the player so I'm not sure if any items placed up there would spawn in unless the player was to fly over closer to them.

    Yes, that's the plan but it's only going to cover part of the West Cornwall Local route, it's a time intensive process.

    Just not sure if that will work with weather changing so i guess all extra trees, etc... will stay green in that game winter. It will require more work with weather, not just placing that.

    I was concerned about that as well, I did check before spending too much time on it and the winter textures look OK to me: a7832057-5549-4cbb-a805-ea3154bb7841.jpg

    The weather is normally applied through the materials so as long as the items placed still reference the original material it should be fine

    Finally got round to getting the editor up and running and just wow, Thanks for all the hard work that went into this.

    Is it possible to clone the original locos and create a new version of it with new textures with this editor? eg, turn a reskin into a separate loco

    From a programming (and UE4) perspective, this should be possible through inheritance. After all, every loco is just a blueprint but I don't know if there are any special things that would prevent you from doing that in this case.

    To be fair I haven't messed with this editor yet.

    Not fully within the editor at the moment. However there is a method being used to do this by inheriting from an existing RVV blueprint and some hex editing. I'm not sure exactly how.

    Thanks for replying, I'll have a play around but hex editing has never been my strong point. Never worked in UE before, it looks like quite a steep learning curve.

    You can see how much the dev is swayed towards gen 8 when you see screenshots here and what could be achieved with some detail sliders

    would it be possible to get access to the loco's control files with this?

    i'm making some ~3/4 sized control levers and switches based on German loco's (mostly 3D printed) and ATM have to use them in TS2022, as that has things like cobraones joystick interface which reads the loco's files and injects the lever / switches positions into it (or something like that)

    i know we have the raildriver .dll that can use an arduino to send lever positions, pretending to be a raildriver,
    but it's things like being able to access switches that do not have keyboard commands assigned to them i'm after, i.e. ones you have to use the mouse to move the switch with.

    i am useless with software stuff, mechanical stuff is what i do best.

    Hi! I installed the Editor according to the instructions and it works great. There is one problem with creating TIMETABLE I can't find this option. Maybe I didn't fully activate EDITOR?
