Skiers in Sandbox

[Olizib]

Is it possible to get skiers in Sandbox mode? I have made lifts and slopes. I have even made skier waypoints on the slopes but they only appear when I am in build mode. I don't know if it is possible to open the ski resort in sandbox, but if it is, please let me know.

Hello, did you assigned opening times as well?

[Olizib]

How do I do that?

[bonsak]

I have the same problem. Have tried to adjust the opening hours (there were already defaults), and to change the skierSpawnPoint from "DorfbahnTal" to a value that match the from-setting of my lift, and the to-setting of the slope, but still no guests. I also adjusted the rating of the lift and slope and waited a day to see of new guests would arrive, but still no.

Here you can read about opening Hours :

if you have the opening hours correct, the next step would be to set the skier spawn points via the npc editor.

I've made paths for the skiers, and connected them to the lifts. I can't see any spawn point settings beyond that in the editor.

[André]

Is it one of your own lifts?

[bonsak]

Yes, I built the lift. I've use the default (official) ones, and not a mod.

Okay. I got this working...after a lot of struggle!

Assuming you have done the following correctly, including by adding the correct entries to the save game .lua:
a) Created a Ropeway
b) Created a Slope
c) Created NPC Skier routes
Then you need to do the following by editing the save game .lua

Search the .lua for skierSpawnPoints. There will be an entry which looks like this:

skierSpawnPoints = { -- begin of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints
{ -- begin of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints[1]
name = "DorfbahnTal",
relativeFrequency = 1,
}, -- end of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints[1]
}, -- end of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints

You'll need to change that to your own Ropeway /lift name. The example below has two spawn points as I have two lifts, eg:

skierSpawnPoints = { -- begin of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints
{ -- begin of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints[1]
name = "Your RopewayValley",
relativeFrequency = 1,
}, -- end of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints[1]
{ -- begin of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints[2]
name = "Your Other RopewayValley",
relativeFrequency = 1,
}, -- end of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints[2]
}, -- end of table: file.skiResort.skierSpawnPoints

NPC Skiers then have a spawn point at each of your lifts.

Then you'll need to make sure your slopes actually start and end at your ropeways/lifts by setting the to/from points. Search the .lua for skiSlopes. You'll find the entries you created for each of your slopes, assuming you set them up correctly. The slope will start at the "Mountain" end of your lift and end at the "Valley" end, so you need to set "from" as the top end of your lift eg., "Your RopewayMountain", and set "to" as the bottom of your lift eg., "Your RopewayValley". A worked example below:

{ -- begin of table: file.skiResort.skiSlopes[1]
diff = 2,
currentGuests = 0,
to = "Your RopewayValley",
length = 180,
isPlayerProperty = true,
maxSkiersCapacity = 6000,
ownedByPlayer = true,
slope = "1",
from = "Your RopewayMountain",
inPreparation = false,
area = 54475.56640625,
snow = 61231.36328125,
hardness = 0.18384975194931,
usage = 0,
condition = 0.99386712577923,
prep = 54074.65625,
balanceSheetId = 49,
maxPoints = 84,
guestsToday = 84,
currentRating = 98.515473118623,
reachedPoints = 82.752997419643,
isOpen = true,
dailyRentPerHa = 1500,
name = "Your Slope",
infoLayer = 1,
}, -- end of table: file.skiResort.skiSlopes[1]

I hope that works for you. I also bought my lifts and slopes, and made sure slopes were completely groomed whilst trying to figure this out, so not sure if that has some bearing on it.

Good Luck!
