Editor

Does anybody know if the PC Editor is going to allow us to change/edit existing DTG made routes/trains or can it only be used to create our own routes/trains from scratch. As in is it the same and as accessible as TS Classic for editing/modding. Thanks.

You can do almost everything with it, but it will not be as easy to learn as the traditional classic editor, however i believe it will give you even more possibilities

Hello - let me help you on this :)

There will be limitations to what you can modify when regarding existing DTG content, simply because the Editor isn't able to access assets which are set in the game. We've referred to these as "cooked assets", and this happens when we package our builds to ship you the game files.

Extending routes requires changing these "cooked assets" (explained more on the stream preview linked below, but again this refers to existing assets) - so this won't be possible.

You can however add new scenery to existing routes, but just not modify the assets which are already included.

I hope this helps, I highly recommend using the timestamps on our PC Editor preview stream to find out more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNWuhovnLtI

OK I'll take a look, thanks for replies

Just watched the Cooked Assets part in the video and understand it now. So does that mean we can use DTG cooked assets/trains in our own created routes, and if somebody creates a scenario with assets/trains from a certain route obviously we have to own that route to play their scenario? Thanks.

Currently, you won't be able to access cooked assets within the Editor when it releases, but there will be some standard assets that will be in the editor to place and use.

And yes you will need to own related scenarios in order to play community content on them.
