Hi everyone, I've been working on a rather experimental TSW project: trying to merge Kassel–Würzburg and Frankfurt–Fulda into one continuous route instead of using Route Hopping. The main goal is to make the routes exist inside the same world so that, in theory, you could drive continuously between them without being sent back to the menu or loading another route. What I've been working on So far I've been experimenting with things such as: World Composition / route tiles Tile coordinates and positioning RouteDefinition assets AssetRegistry information Cooking modified route content with the TSW Public Editor Getting assets from both routes to exist inside the same route Keeping the original routes untouched while testing the merged version Trying to make the existing scenery and track tiles load correctly together I've already managed to get quite far into analysing and processing the route data, although there are still several technical problems to solve before this can become a properly playable route. Why am I doing this? Route Hopping is a nice feature, but I've always wanted to see what happens if several existing German routes are actually connected into a single large network. If this works, the same concept could potentially be interesting for other connected TSW routes in the future. Important This is currently an experimental personal modding project. The intention is not to redistribute Dovetail Games' DLC files or copyrighted route assets. Any eventual release would need to work in a way that requires players to own the necessary original DLCs. I'm mainly creating this thread to document the project and to see whether anyone else in the TSW modding community has experimented with something similar. I'll post updates here if I make more progress. Thanks!
Nice project! I’m sure you are aware, however, just in case you are not, there are other activities like this coming from the community. This being the best known, probably (at least for me): https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/wip-merged-routes-us-and-uk.98357/#post-1134159 Maybe a chance to exchange on experiences…
Don't know you plan to merge Main Spessart Bahn to We need a route from Hanau to Wurzburg to Link up Frankfurt to new tsw 7 route
