CREATORS CLUB: as I'm sure we all know creators club and everything it entails is in dire need of a massive overhaul and some more features. Starting off with the livery editor there are plenty of things wrong with it or that need adding to it such as with locos we need an option to place layers on the back rather than just the front, side or top as it limits what you can do with it for example I have been working on a class 37 livery or 37 403 Isle Of Mull. As you can see I can't move any details I made on the front of the train to the back of it which limits what you can do. There is also a distinct lack of signage that can be placed around the train such as safety signage, Disability access signage or other things like this, also when you resize these objects to be smaller you end up with really pixelated and less detailed areas on what would otherwise be a good livery. Another massive issue would be a layer count capped at 300, even 600 layers would make a massive difference to the level of detail that trains could have. Now perhaps one of my biggest gripes is how objects are easily distorted when placed in areas where different sections of the train meet for example the side to the front or the top to the front and side (which makes adding the roof of a train quite difficult) it causes intricate details to be ruined and makes the layers stretch so much more in weird ways that you don't want which means more layers have to be sacrificed to fix this or the idea has to be scrapped altogether so I would love for this to be fixed. There are also issues that affect specific trains (anyone who has made a a livery on the 387 knows what I'm talking about) There seems to also be issues affecting trains that have doors that aren't level with the train e.g 150, 314, 313, 37 e.t.c that causes unwanted layers to go onto them if you know what I mean. Now onto additional features I would like to see include typed text which is something that has been asked for, for a long time now and would make it so much easier rather than having to individually move and resize certain letters, while we're on the subject of text I'd also like to say we need more fonts. Now my most wanted idea would be to have sections of trains that you can have coloured e.g the yellow front (which can vary from train to train but if its incorrect for your livery you don't have to utilise it), the cant line (orange line that goes around the top of the train) the roof, the doors and so on I think it would be a really useful feature and help make more refined liveries without adding more layers. Something else to add would be to have randomly generated numbers on the train, This could be done by on the front having for example an almost textbox like thing that you can place where you desire and then type in the class of train e.g 387 and then for the subclass you would go 387/3 and you can choose the parameters so 387/301 - 387/306 then whenever the livery shows up it will only appear with the numbers in that range. INTERIOR LIVERY DESIGNER: This is something we haven't seen yet but I have been asking for it, for a long time now because it really bugs me when you've made a livery but then it has the complete wrong interior e.g a C2C livery with a Gatwick Express interior, I would set this out as where you choose a livery and you have things that you can modify for example the seats you would select a seat choose a formation e.g 1+2, 2+2, 3+2 then pick a design, like Ironing board shaped seats or seats from a HST, then you can choose a material like cloth or leather, then you can design a moquette or use a preset version. Once complete you could have the option to copy it to all seats. You could also designate areas as first class or quiet zones which could have different seats or a different seating layout additionally other things could be done with the grab poles, the doors, the carpet, you could add posters or bespoke signage relative to the operator you have chosen. SCENARIO PLANNER: Out of everything scenario planner has received the least love when in actuality it has a lot of potential. For example we could have custom consists so we can have the most random looking trains. We should also be able to timetable things so we can choose what time AI trains and the players trains arrive where. I also think the way it is set out should be redone and instead you start with a map and you can just click anywhere on the tracks and that could be a start point and then click anywhere as your endpoint as long as it is physically possible to get there even if it requires turning around if it doesn't choose a route you want it to then you can select a go via location so it fixes itself. I would also love to have the ability to add temporary speed restrictions so you can have scenarios that are much more interesting, this could also be complemented by features that involve fixing things, contacting signallers and coupling to broken down trains to really enhance the experience. ROUTE EDITOR: I know lots of people have been wanting this and the idea is really no different from the one in TS classic but I would love to see it nonetheless.
Interior Designer is really borderline model editing which is a whole different ballgame. Also, the "doors that aren't level with the body, causing unwanted layers" point - that isn't a bug of any manner, that's just the projection of the layers. Just cover it up with the door colours or play around with projection settings to get it gone from the indented areas.
Well, unless you want the projection mechanic removed from the designer, you either do that or work with the projection settings. In the case of the doors (which is usually what's effected), you'll be changing the colour anyway.
