    Hi all,

    Is there a way to update or make a custom station directory for a DLC? I want to add some more stations to an existing DLC but not sure how to do it with muffs cooking mod with the public editor.

    A couple of things to consider here.

    The Editor seems to allow to edit and save the Station Directory of existing DLCs just within the folders. Important to mention is that you need to also setup track markers for the platforms to take an effect of it. Otherwise these new Stations you plan to incorporate will not be identified. You can do so via the "Edit Ranges" mode in Network Edit Mode.

    I think the plan could be stopped by modifying and recooking and repaking existing DLCs and the accompanied verifaction/validation process for DLCs. Never tried to recook a route, but I've actually tried to unpak a route, replace an asset and repak the route again. It might be due to the missed cooking process, but the edited DLC did not validated and did not show up in TSW.

    However, there is still a chance that this could be possible though, because I saw people doing scenery enhancement mods probably using the Scenery Overlay System, which for the moment I have no clue of how that works, but it might incorporate recooking and repaking the DLC.

    But take into account that we might go into a red zone area here as doing something like that could be prohibited by DTG.

    Would like to cite this also from the PC Editor FAQ:

    However, it speaks only about "modify" an existing route, not to add something. Now the millon dollar question is, Is an addition of for example adding some more stations in the Station Directoy, a modification in the sense DTG does understand?
