I just came across one of of another third party software and its call RW Enhancer 2. I was blown away at what function it can do such as a working dispatcher system that allow you to use in game or you can use your own voice to speak to the distpatcher, the function to control what audio you want to increase or decrease, The graphic texture enhancement to make the game more popping and realistic, the gameplay based on real time weather, and time and so much more amazing feature that i was blown away. DTG Really need to Work with this creator who create this software. Currently its only for TS which i am upset about and really want it to come to TSW 2. Here is the link that tell you more about this software https://www.rwcentral.com/store/product/7-rw-enhancer-2/ Tell me what you guys think? Do you want to see DTG Do something like this? To bad i can create this in to a poll
Looking at it, RWEnhancer is a bunch of tools and probably well done, but it targets TS. You cannot simply transfer it to TSW2 because it is a completely different game. Yes, DTG should do better in a number of ways, see my posts on the UI. You cannot say directly RWEnhancer is the solution to all inconveniences we experience with TSW2, it is not that easy. An example are the improved skies. If you just see how hard it turns out to incorporate a mod into the game.
It has nothing to do with Unreal Engine. UE is just a game engine, it's up to you what kind of game you make in it. So the ammount of content is entirely up to DTG's willingness to make it. Though personally I wouldn't be interested in screaming at my train simulator via voice commands anyway. Things like real time weather would be fun though, but not high on the priority for me
It as everything to do with Unreal Engine. Why do think we have no editor or no scenario creator, and please don't say we have a scenario creator
Again: Unreal is just a game engine. Have a look at a (likely incomplete) list of games using URE4 -- you can build a million different things with it. And plenty of those games are deep and very well regarded, so the "dumb blonde" argument doesn't hold water. You can build very rich games with URE. More importantly, beyond that: game data is just data, it's not necessarily tied to the engine, anyway. There is every reason that DTG could offer comprehensive creation tools, it's simply a matter of goals and prioritization.
Thats still no excuse as to why this can't be done for TSW 2, DTG Needs to take some feature an idea from this third party softward and really put it to the TSW2 game, especially the cutomization panel for sound , ambient, lighting and other. This should really be in TSW2 https://wiki.rwenhancer.com/doku.php?id=core:features#in-game_gameplay_enhancements
That again has nothing to do with the absence of a route editor. I mean there are UE games out there with public editors. And there are mod creators trying to make a public editor. There is zero reason for there not being an editor, other than them at DTG simply not wanting to release one. Unreal Engine is just an game engine, you decide what you make with it.
I really especially do want to see the DTG TSW2 team create this feature which can be most important to most people here which is the Sound system where you adjust all the sound in-game. They should really do this Train Audio Effects Enhancement System RW Enhancer 2 train audio enhancement system is designed to add some new audio effects on Train Simulator rolling stock existing sound effects. By using the internal RWE 2 train simulation system, the audio engine can add numerous audio layers based on complex real time simulation data. Those added sound layers are 100% dynamic are adjusted according to hundreds of simulation variables. This add a whole new layer of immersion to your drive sessions ! The audio environment will sound much more dynamic/organic than before. Here is a list of some audio effects added by this module: Wind air flow Windows/Doors opened air flow Tracks rolling sound Electric & Diesel engine sound layers Braking friction Curve Friction Tunnel air in/out bursts Tunnel ambient reverb Cabin metal/plastic rattling (depending on the physical constraints undergone by the train) Rain on windshield Passengers ambient sounds (discussion, luggage's handling, coughing…) according to the current state of the train (stopped in station, in movement…) … This audio enhancement system works on every train simulator engines/rolling stock and everyhting can be tweaked/adjusted to fit your own taste. World Ambient Audio Effects Enhancement System RW Enhancer 2 world ambient audio enhancement module is designed to add some new ambient/environment audio effects. This will add numerous new effects during your drive sessions. Every sound effect is triggered/adjusted in real-time according to the current weather, season, time of day and numerous other variables thanks to RW Enhancer 2 Train Simulator communication interface system. Here is a list of some audio effects added by this module: Variable Ambient Wind (depending on the current weather state) Thunder Strikes (triggered randomly and with variable intensity according to the current weather and season) Birds Insects Station ambiance Night ambiance Departure whistle sounds (based on your current service tasks departures) … This audio enhancement system works on every train simulator routes and everyhting can be tweaked/adjusted to fit your taste.
The main difference and why RW Enhancer can work is that TS has an API interface that other software can use to find out what is going on in game and react to it. TSW does not yet have an API. It has been discussed as one of the nice things to have in the future so you never know your luck. There are always creative people who are able to make these sorts of tools perform magic. Paul
