Feature Livery Designer 2.0 Feedback

Ditto on the camera controls. Me (and many others I'm certain) have been waiting 5 months for our liveries from previous titles to work in the tsw4 editor. It's incredibly demotivating to know that everything I've made cannot be used or enjoyed in the newer title.

 

same dude i think i got south eastern line thing from tsw3 on tsw4[free compatibiliti thing] and others and i think i got some liveries in general that i cant get back let me check rq tho

 

wth my game crashed on loading[xbox app version]

 

phew it was tsw4 running in the background
yup there is some liveries on tsw3 that i just CANT get on tsw4 thats annoying as hell to me

 

It's annoying as hell as a creator too! I've been hounding them for months

 

A line tool with addable vertices (kinda like the one in paint.net but with more addable vertices instead of just 4) would be a neat addition to the livery editor.

 

Dovetail could we get an honest reply on the progress of this fix. Would be great to have tsw3 liveries available in tsw4 again. They're still blank messes when I try to use them

 

I don’t think you can without deleting them, only personal liveries, though I would like to be proved wrong.

 

I have only really started TSW4 on PS5 and I love the game, I am having a lot of fun with livery mode, currently designing ICI tankers for the Blackpool branch. The small issues that nags at me is there is no grouping option for layers, for example if we make designs of individual parts like a logo using shapes etc I think it would be great if we could group that whole logo into one layer or possibly even save custom logos, shapes etc that we make. If that makes sense. If I have posted this In the wrong place I apologise

 

You can group shapes (see the image below). You can't, however, group items with text......unless you make the text out of shapes......nor can you save groups to use on different models (which is, of course, very annoying).

 

Brilliant, just have to figure out how to do it on the PS5. Cheers bud I will have a look

 

Figured it out, thanks for the help buddy

 

The game still won't display community liveries on the GWE HST in the snow.
TBH I thought that this had been fixed some time ago?

 

It seems like it's not the livery not loading, that's just a snow texture all over the train. I can assume it is due to lack of actual snow level in GWE back when it was released, iirc it was impossible to get this route covered in snow when i played TSW2, thus resulting in some weird bugs when added afterward.

 

Can you not filter the layer list for the actual side you are viewing anymore? It seems like no matter what side I'm selecting to look at, I keep seeing all the layers in the list.

 

Can you, please, fix the issue where layers that have been rotated away from 0 degrees won't group with layers that haven't? It's driving me around the bend!

Ta muchly!

(Oh and I do notice that the cursor doesn't immediately skip to the end, when changing the name of a file in LD, now; danke!)

 

In My Opinion i still want the BR422 to be able to be used in the Livery designer. It's kinda sad to know that it was once possible but now not anymore. It's such a lovely train and i miss being able to customise it with my own liveries. Why is that the only train without this wonderfull option? It'd be so nice

Can you guys pleas rethink this?
thanks

 

On the whole this is a massive downgrade from v. 1.0. The new UI is far more cumbersome- I especially hate not having camera controls, unless I change to a different mode which means I can't work. And while I appreciate the text box function, the fact that it can't be grouped with anything else, and the bare handful of fonts available, makes in only minimally useful compared to what it could be. And you can no longer save from the working screen, which is annoying AF.

And of course three vital features were not implemented: no numeric input vice freehand/mouse; no ability to import external graphics; and above everything no ability to save groups as decals to use on different models. (add to that the impossibility of making groups of groups, meaning that just to add one element you have to ungroup and regroup- which on a sophisticated project could mean dozens of layers)

Worst of all, though, is the fact that superimposed shapes now become chaotic jumbles of pixels, which are impossible to work with. And for this reason I have hardly done anything in LD 2.0, after having made lots of quite successful liveries with the original.

 

here is a lengthy post where I have suggested similar things:

 

Integrating Formation Designer and Livery Designer into one big program; giving the ability to reskin custom formations in Livery Designer.

 

a lot of my points point towards a certain goal - not only to make recreating real liveries easier, but also to enable creative ppl that make beautiful and complex fictional liveries to also be able to create entire fleets, partially unified

like lets say I decided I wanted to create a fleet of locos and MUs for German routes in orange and black with certain elements across the fleet, like fictional logo etc... if I could save certain complex shapes and specific colors, it would be much easier

 

Oh, solicitr is absolutely right especially on this, only rough mouse input on sliders to things such as livery painting depth is a ridiculous regression from v1. Some things are simply not possible anymore unless you take ages checking back-and-forth with a text editor on the livery file.

Plus no camera while you're working, absolutely, whose idea even was that?!?
