You're welcome.
The two line feature is currently only available for the Mercedes Citaro C2 and another Mercedes Bus that came with a two line display on the basic model.
The top row shows the first whole word in front of the brackets in the line name in the top line.
The bottom line shows the line destination (first stop or what you put into the destination field when CommonAPI2 is active).
If your line name has no whole word in front of the brackets, the first line will be empty.

Thank you so much, just one last thing.
Theres absolutely no problem with this, but I noticed that in some buses, shows 2 lines instead of 1, Any way to change that?
Look at the fourth picture on this mod display, you can see that the top says Metrobus, while in the bottom it says something different.
How do I do that?

@harry kane
Yes, now I understand. It is possible if you use the CommonAPI2 mod additionally, as this adds a free text field for each stop in the line manager that is shown on the vehicle. Note that you have to keep it up to date manually anytime the game gets an update.

Lets say my bus is going from station A to station B, the bus panel, which is the destination display, will show the number of the line and the first station of the line (Station A)
And what im trying to do, is for it to show Station A - Station B.
More specific, lets say my bus first station is Gava terminal, and the last one is Arizona Terminal, the bus display will show the line number and the first station on the line (Gava Terminal), but in my case I want it to display Gava - Arizona.
Hope this time its clear.

@harry kane
I think I still don't really get what you mean.
So let's say you have the bus line number 1 going to Marely Terminal, so what I would expect to see on the bus display is "1 Marely Terminal". For that case you would select Marely Terminal as the first stop and name your line "bus line (1)".
What do you like to have different from this example?
harry kane Nov 9, 2024 @ 7:52am 
what i meant, is that the bus panel will only show the first station, example if my first station is like Marely terminal, it will show the line number (for example 1) and the first station.
So, is there a way i can change that? (I do not want to change the name of the terminal otherwise its pretty unrealistic)
Sorry if this wasent clear, but I do not know how to explain it.

@drcsont060923
This mod has no special new settings for the lines. It works by simply renaming your lines as explained in the mod description above.
However, if you use the CommonAPI2 mod additionally, you get a new option in the line manager to select what shall be displayed for each destination. All information for the CommonAPI2 can be found in the forum: https://www.transportfever.net/thread/13025-commonapi2-neue-versionen-und-wichtige-informationen/?postID=424822#post424822
Note that you need to keep it up to date anytime the game gets an update.
drcsont060923 Nov 2, 2024 @ 4:05am 
Dear @lennardo_97 !
I subscried and active this mod when I create a new free game. But maybe something is missing from me because I cant do anything, nothing settings on lines nothing. Please can you help me?
beldrnl Oct 12, 2024 @ 2:11am 
this is exactly what I was looking for. thanks!
lennardo_97  [author] Aug 16, 2024 @ 8:51am 
@kaskader2000 It is currently not intended and not easily possible to switch that off directly.

The only option at this time would be to combine this mod with the Line Destination feature of the CommonAPI2 from transportfever.net
With this feature you can decide individually for each stop what shall be displayed. Note that you have to keep CommonAPI2 up to date everytime the game receives an update.
kaskader2000 Aug 13, 2024 @ 10:11am 
can i turn off displaying first stop of the line as destination? i really like this mod but dont want this feature
The Former Jun 19, 2024 @ 6:43pm 
This is just what I've been looking for, thanks.
PhazezGova Mar 27, 2024 @ 9:09am 
So geil die mod, vielen Dank :)
lennardo_97  [author] Mar 9, 2024 @ 12:50am 
@harry kane, I am not sure if I get your question right. You can name the line how you like, but on the vehicle you will only see the part of the line name that is written in brackets. So basically you can give the line a good name to sort the line manager and decide at the same time what to show on the vehicle.
Take a close look on the second screenshot. That should make clear how it works.
harry kane Mar 5, 2024 @ 5:40am 
Oh, so i cant change the line name? Like i can only change the number but not the name of the line?
ConstasJ Jan 29, 2024 @ 12:43pm 
Hi I have the same problem with the mod vehicle I used in my save. The destination and line name have showed twice on my E231/E233 train. Here is the link of these mods:
E233
E231
lennardo_97  [author] Dec 16, 2023 @ 11:07am 
@Grzegorz Yes, just post it here. I will take a look into it when I have time.
Grzegorz Dec 16, 2023 @ 11:00am 
Yes i have the link, can i please post it over there?
lennardo_97  [author] Dec 16, 2023 @ 6:23am 
@Grzegorz Do you have a link to the mod with this EMU? Things like this happen, when the train is already fitted with some kind of two-row display, which my script does not recognize correctly.
Grzegorz Dec 13, 2023 @ 9:20am 
Hey i have a problem, on an EMU train i use, the text on the train's side destination display shows the destination 2 times, on top of each other, is there a way to modify this? it looks horrible, i can send a screenshot if you want
lennardo_97  [author] Dec 10, 2023 @ 11:59am 
@leomide Okay, komisch, sowas hatte ich noch nie. Funktioniert es, wenn du ein neues Savegame erstellst, in dem sonst keine anderen Mods aktiv sind? Wenn ja, würde es auf eine Inkompatibilität mit einer anderen Mod hindeuten. Das könnte dann alles in Richtung Skript-Mod sein, was irgendwie Mods managen soll oder sowas.
leomide Dec 10, 2023 @ 2:54am 
@lennardo_97 es gibt keine Fehlermeldung. Wenn ich ihn hinzufüge und dann starte, ist er nicht drin. Schau ich in die Saves, wird er als inaktiv gelistet, als hätte ich ihn nie hinzugefügt
lennardo_97  [author] Dec 10, 2023 @ 2:36am 
@rico84jung Da ich nicht der Autor der CommanAPI2 bin, kann ich diese auch nicht im Steam Workshop veröffentlichen. Es bleibt also dabei, dass du die CommonAPI2 manuell von transportfever.net installieren und aktuell halten musst, wenn du sie nutzen möchtest.
Ein Teil der Features meiner Mod funktioniert aber auch ohne CommonAPI2.

@leomide What do you get as error message?
leomide Dec 10, 2023 @ 2:27am 
It just kicks the mod out of my save everytime i try to add it
rico84jung Nov 2, 2023 @ 9:58pm 
@lennardo dein finde ich gut aber du weist schon das TF2 Mods zum bei spiel CommanAPI2 von filebase, auf Steam Workshop nicht geht.
Kannst du bitte den CommanAPI2 mit beisetzen mit steam diesen mod auch erkennt, ohne CommanAPI2 Steam Workshop wird das nichts.
lennardo_97  [author] Oct 7, 2023 @ 2:05am 
@gavt1976 they are fixed with the last update as I wrote.
gavt1976 Sep 14, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Will you be fixing this again.?

Any chance to fix https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353089840 ?
When using brackets with numbers on it, line designators display only the numbers multiple times, etc. Thank you already if you are gonna look into that.

I am also having the same issue as well.
lennardo_97  [author] Aug 13, 2023 @ 3:51am 
I just published another little update to fix the Graz Trams and the BVG eCitaro - have fun :)
lennardo_97  [author] Aug 3, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
@gav1976 I did not look into it yet but as soon as I have time I will see what I can do. Currently I guess that it will not be too complicated to fix.

lennardo_97  [author] Jul 23, 2023 @ 12:51pm 
@Prof.Koopa das geht, wenn du diese Mod zusammen mit der CommanAPI2 nutzt. Siehe hier https://www.transportfever.net/filebase/index.php?entry/4806-commonapi2/ zum Download. Wichtig: CommonAPI2 muss bei jedem kleinen Update des Spiels auch ein Update kriegen. Informationen dazu gibt es immer hier: https://www.transportfever.net/thread/13025-commonapi2-neue-versionen-und-wichtige-informationen/?pageNo=3
Prof.Koopa Jul 23, 2023 @ 8:44am 
Ich fände es cool, wenn es eine Möglichkeit gäbe, dass man erste UND letzte Station angeben könnte, sodass nicht nur ein Zielort angegeben wird.
Beispiel: die Linie heißt "(S1)[Hauptbahnhof/Südbahnhof]"

Wenn der Zug dann Richtung Südbahnhof fährt, zeigt dieser auch "Südbahnhof", wenn er aber Richtung Hauptbahnhof fährt eben "Hauptbahnhof".

Thank you
lennardo_97  [author] Jul 14, 2023 @ 12:19pm 
@Kira Megumin This works only on certain vehicles that already feature a display with two rows and have their own special handling in this mod. Currently this is working on the Citaro C2, Citaro C1 and the O405. Some trains like the Talent 2 have also a display with two rows.
吉良吉惠Kira Megumin Jul 14, 2023 @ 11:04am 
How do you make the info displayed as 2 rows like the one on the yellow Citaro?
lennardo_97  [author] Jul 12, 2023 @ 9:07am 
@tanakit45 I will take a look into it and see what I can do :)

Mr. Suka_Blyat Jul 8, 2023 @ 8:22am 
Oh yeah, i have it installed and it works. Looks like mod actually have malfunctioned. Try checking that out
lennardo_97  [author] Jul 8, 2023 @ 5:14am 
@Mr. Suka_Blyat this feature is part of the CommonAPI2 mod and works only if this one is up to date, so eventually you have to update. Take a look in the forum for update information on that one: https://www.transportfever.net/thread/13025-commonapi2-neue-versionen-und-wichtige-informationen/?pageNo=3
Mr. Suka_Blyat Jul 3, 2023 @ 10:38am 
Yeah and it did smth, but haven't mod had a feature that you can "rename" every stop for a specific route? (For example stop is named "A" but you can type in the special window "B" which won't rename the original stop, but vehicles will be showing "B" instead)
lennardo_97  [author] Jul 3, 2023 @ 10:33am 
Mr. Suka_Blyat Did you rename your lines as explained in the mod description?
Mr. Suka_Blyat Jul 3, 2023 @ 10:23am 
mod doesn't work?
lennardo_97  [author] Jun 23, 2023 @ 10:22am 
@bilibiIi-月野水-Viya I will see what I can do.

@Jaimeeee The CommonAPI2 mod adds an option to the line menu where you can set which stations shall be considered as end points of the line. It also has a text field to enter the name that shall be displayed. Note that you usually have to update CommonAPI2 anytime the game receives an update (also the regulary released minor updates). More information can be found here: https://www.transportfever.net/thread/13025-commonapi2-neue-versionen-und-wichtige-informationen/?pageNo=3
Jaimeeee Jun 21, 2023 @ 1:57am 
Could you explain how the CommonAPI2 thing for the first and last station works?
lennardo_97  [author] May 18, 2023 @ 6:55am 
Thank you for your great feedback :)
Yes, at least I can take a look into that vehicle and see what I can do. I guess the best way would be if you send it to me as a private message on transportfever.net
Waffi May 15, 2023 @ 8:40am 
Thank you for your help. One more thing, If I share a vehicle with you privatly would you try make the display work? And really thank you for your work, it is amaizing.
lennardo_97  [author] May 14, 2023 @ 11:37am 
If that happens you should check this thread in the forum: https://www.transportfever.net/thread/13025-commonapi2-neue-versionen-und-wichtige-informationen/?pageNo=2
Sometimes there is either an update or, like in this case, it is recommended to use the "buildoverwrite"-option in the CommonApi2 settings.
Waffi May 13, 2023 @ 5:12pm 
.@lennardo_97
It is awsome that you could make that working and I am very thankful. I have one problem. I downloaded the commonapi2 from the website but the game said that the version is not listed as known good version. My game has version 35313 and the current api2 only support the version 35312. Is there anything that I can do about? Thanks for your work and best regards.
