OMSI 2 Editor: How to create routes

[@yvesjahn4983]

Your Tutorial is the best Omsi2 tutorial i have ever seen! Thank you so much!

[@devon896]

Jesus it's a lot of work. Having used Trainz and Train Sim Classic for years the editor on those programmes is so easy, this is a lot of work.

[@MTA3306]

@DSH Trains These will definitely be planned in the future, with an explanation of most features, but it'll be made in parts, since to explain the Editor could take hours. I'm also planning a tutorial on how to create OMSI assets, titled: "OMSI Modeling for Dummies". But the editor one will come first, so stay tuned! :)

[@MTA3306]

Kinda hard to believe that this got 10,000 views in the past year. Impressive.

[@de-andreking3107]

MTA3306 does steam run good on Lenovo 320 laptop? Im concerned😐

[@domagojhorvat1875]

MTA3306 when i made a route i made two tours one of my tours isnt showing but in omsi editor I created that tour. whats the problem?

[@lilcuteli5843]

MTA3306 Passengers don't get on my bus

[@b7rle]

Well done!

[@BusesinLondon345]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. Helps me a lot cause I am building a map.

[@ohexcuseme2k216]

Thanks, This helped alot and made creating routes less of a time consuming burden.

[@rafitamolin]

Thanks for this video, man. It's really hard to see an english tutorial video nowadays about OMSI 2.

[@MTA3306]

***** No prob. I did this on request, so I can do other parts to, for whoever wants/needs them

[@metromaster2010]

Thank you for this. I only knew how to do this with the OMSI 1 track - trip - timetable method. So this is extremely helpful to me. I would like to see a tutorial on how to get the train signals to work properly as they do in the default maps. I have achieved some (very limited) success in this area. So if you choose to do such a tutorial, I will be happy to forward you what information I have thus far.

[@MTA3306]

You mean make the "Train approaching" semaphores work, or the 10m high ones seen in Grundorf at Bahnhof Nordspitze?

[@metromaster2010]

+PVTA33073301 I can get the home signals and the 10m high ones to work but not like they do in the default maps. In the default maps they stay red and then change to a clear aspect as the train approaches. As the train passes they go back to red. This seems normal to me. In my case they go green before the train gets there and then go red as the train passes. So the timing is off just a bit. I cannot get the automatic signals to work at all. They just stay yellow. On the Berlin-Spandau map they work well on the S-Bahn line

[@MTA3306]

OK. I'll start on something then.

[@MTA3306]

+metromaster2010 Can you PM me a video of what you are trying to do. Specifically, the Signal Routes tab when the signal you want to edit is selected and what happens when a train goes near it.

[@metromaster2010]

+PVTA33073301 I don't know how to do a PM on KZbin. I also don't know how to make a video of OMSI. I can get the train signals to work, partially. They just don't work as well as they do on the default Spandau map.

[@AndMoreCentral]

Hi its me who asked the question on steam. Really appreciate the time you put into creating this video. This is my active you tube channel name so if you want to see the WIP map and get chance for its exclusive release to the channel soon then have a look. Thanks again.

[@MTA3306]

Well, thanks for 1,000 views. I don't know what to say except, that this tutorial will be up for as long as possible, I will answer ALL questions you have about it, and I do requests for OMSI 2, basically everything except scripts.

[@zh4100]

I have a out of topic question about the map you made... what is the Richmond Bus Station object called. You know the bus loop and all

[@helenasvensson5220]

idk how to move in the editor like forwards and backwards plz help

[@maxthewolfroertson9636]

Thanks a lot ! that's a great tutorial

[@BloopNessY]

Hey I have a problem.. I created a route perfectly fine (I guess) and when I drive it I always come late (passengers tell me that) and after I finish route it says only for the starting station that is "ok" (in the notepad after you finish the route), other stations aren't visible. BTW "notepad with stations and time" shows only after I remove the bus.

[@legend_darkstar]

The passengers are weird dipshits so you better ignore them. MEIN JOTT DER FÄHRT DOCH HAT DER SEINEN FÜHRERSCHEIN JEWONNEN ODER WAT

[@JF-nx5mg]

Hi, it took me long to make a route, but when I finished it, I realized that no one would get on my bus and the AI bus! The AI bus are indeed going the correct route, but the passengers just don't get on any buses. I did use the correct HOF. I guess that would be a problem abput the HOF. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks a lot!

[@hrastikboys5702]

Hey! Uhh, can I put 2 different buses on a map? I need Mercedes Citaro O530 and MAN NG313 or NL263. I watched your video on how to edit AI lists and you put only 1 bus. Is it possible to put these two for AI buses to drive?

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

If I can get the hang of it, i could create the CTfastrak busway.

[@OofBerry1]

Amazing thanks!

[@MTA3306]

Once 3K views rolls around, another tutorial video will be made. Ideas, anyone?

[@dantlmthelapisminecart6289]

+PVTA33073301 How to line up buildings alongside roads.

[@MTA3306]

+DanTLM | TheLapisMinecart I believe that was explained in the map building tutorials

[@dantlmthelapisminecart6289]

Nope :(

[@de-andreking3107]

+MTA3306 can I ask you a question?

[@MTA3306]

Of course.

[@SWTransport]

This is so hard, my paths are all correct and they say they’re not and then when I create a timetable it just doesn’t want to work! It’s really annoying

[@johnrenfrow6819]

Thanks for the tip

[@prestige4gaming408]

will there be a problem if I put it this way: Line 24 has starting position Main Station and ending position is East Station Can I put it this way 24 MAIN STATION (Annax 1st row) EAST STATION (Annax 2nd row)

[@MTA3306]

KPGS Records I don't see why not. It should fit (ANNAX supports up to 16 digits per line).

[@prestige4gaming408]

Alright thanks!

[@thegreencactus6072]

About the station links, if you're editing a map, like, let's say, Berlin X10, could you just skip creating the station links and just use the existing ones? It's probably not going to break anything, I guess

[@MTA3306]

The Green Cactus Yes, you could. Only way for anything to break is if you select two stops that aren't linked.

[@thegreencactus6072]

MTA3306 I'm sure U Oskar Helne-Heim is linked to Ruhlsdorf...

[@utacentral6317]

What is the object name for the Richmond bus station? I make all my bus stations with invis street right now which is very annoying.

[@Joakim-1995]

How can i connect path segments from terrain splines to other segments on a standard spline?

[@nsa7787]

I have a Route 140 mod for chicago. I put the HOF Provided in and i drive the new flyer and it has a manual change dispenser cash register instead of the automated farebox. The routes work if im using that HOF which isnt optimized for a new flyer but when i use the default chicago hof the routes DO NOT work.

[@MTA3306]

Sorry, but I can’t help you here, as I never downloaded the Route 140 mod.

[@miguelbanos6544]

Does the HOF template you use work in every bus or not? My passengers doesn't go up onto the bus and I can't find where is the problem.

[@MTA3306]

Miguel Baños Yes it does. What matters most is spelling. Underscores and spaces are counted as characters when the AI humans looks for the proper terminus. (I.e. if it appears as “321_Stanley_St” in the TTData, then the terminus in the .HOF file should be “321_Stanley_St”, not “321 Stanley_street”.

[@LongHaulPilot]

What if arrival bus stop = departure bus stop for route end

[@costx4569]

So it opens only with the option "load map without buses"? It's not possible to open the map that I create with editor such as other maps?

[@MTA3306]

If you haven’t loaded the map in-game and only editor before, you must load it without buses first

[@weesgaming7021]

how did you add the bus stop, mta3306?

[@helenasvensson5220]

Wee's Gaming You have to import the directory it’s under SceneryObjects\Generic.

[@nixxin_v]

Thanks for the good tutorial! Do you know how to fix the missing destination? Line number shows up, but not the destinaton.

[@MTA3306]

Misspelled destination, most likely.

[@openbvemx9042]

because when I put the terminal highlighted in blue, and when changing the route, and that was back in and had deleted

[@MTA3306]

There seems to be a missing part to your question. Also, nothing should be highlighted in blue unless you're hovering over it. To have it be highlighted/selected , it will appear red.

[@openbvemx9042]

Ok, do not worry, I solved the problem

[@jaygabriel4074]

Dinner!

[@MTA3306]

@Tobiah Ng, Not sure why your comment isn't appearing, but back to your problem. Try clicking any other tab in the Editor, then click back to Station Links. This will refresh the area that you are working on in the editor, with paths and all. OK?

[@MTA3306]

@Tobiah Ng, I added a link in the description

[@tbng615]

***** Thanks! Also, when I was editing the new line's timetable, at the bottom after I create New Trip No., I was not able to find the right Trip that I set up for the new line in the dropbox, what do I do? Thanks!

[@MTA3306]

+Tobiah Ng Did you check the "User is allowed to drive this line" box? It won't appear in the timetsble selection box otherwise.

[@tbng615]

***** Yes, I did, Oh I meant in the editor. I created the new line, new tour, and in the timetable editor, where I created a New trip No, but then int he section of "Trip (ShowAl)", I was not able to find my trip for the new line.

[@MTA3306]

Did you set an AI Group to run that line? Otherwise the trip will show up as null

[@liamnewby9608]

Hi do you reckon that u can make a preston to Blackpool map please because I get really frustrated when Making it and then I want to post it on fellows film for everyone thanks

[@MTA3306]

Nah, you’re gonna have to figure that one out on your own. Or recruit some people from fellowsfilm.

[@VolanbuszDriver]

Hi! I followed every single step, and I can only drive my bus in one direction! So like I go to one terminus to another, but then when I go back to where I started people don't want to get on! I already have 4 lines on my fictional city and none of them work backwards. I appreciate your help, thank you.

[@MTA3306]

Did you make a return trip that ends at the bus stop of where the first one began?

[@VolanbuszDriver]

+PVTA33073301 I dont't really understand what you are saying. I think I made a return trip. A to B and B to A?

[@MTA3306]

I will be in touch later today

[@VolanbuszDriver]

+PVTA33073301 OK, thank you. Um, but acttually I am in Hungary right now, so here is night, but you can write on that e-mail and I'm gonna check it in the morning

[@VolanbuszDriver]

+PVTA33073301 Hey! I tried something and I messed up everything and now people don't get on neither way, so I give up. Thank you for your help...

[@Valle641]

I can't find my trip in the "trip" box in the time table editor, it exist as a trip..

[@MTA3306]

+Valle641 Did you make a timetable profile?

[@tyler371bus]

Hello im currently making a semi fictional SW London map,I was wondering if you could do a video or tell me how to add entry points on my map.

[@MTA3306]

In the folder that I described in the video. It's in a folder called Generic.

[@TheGreatSimulator]

Is this omsi 2 editor a separate thing from the game? Also how much would you charge to make a map for someone?

[@MTA3306]

The Great Simulator It is and isn’t. It’s a separate program, but you have to modify the launch instructions of the main game. And I wouldn’t make a map for someone else, period.

[@TheGreatSimulator]

Lol

[@PeroniRoke]

How do I place the objescts down

[@tyleryoung652]

When I edit some times in the editor and come out of the editor it makes all the AI Buses on that route that edit disappear. I have tried everyway of saving it as possible could you potentially help me by telling me the correct way to save after editing times in the timetable editor? TY

[@MTA3306]

Tyler Young Does "SmoothTrans" appear next to the trip said AI bus will operate?

[@Tompa871]

How do you rotate and move the camera?

[@cameronyoungcg9270]

It's not letting me download Hof Creator. is there any way of creating HOF files without it, andif so, how?

[@cameronyoungcg9270]

Ignore that. I've got it.

[@ER-qr3ff]

Passengers won't get on the bus

[@johnrenfrow6819]

how do you get into ego mode and what are the controls to move the around in the maps

[@MTA3306]

Personally, I have never needed ego mode, and to move around is right click

[@JevWD]

Hey, For some reason passengers will not get on? They are waiting just won't get on

[@MTA3306]

Did you create the route in the timetable editor? And add tours and such?

[@JevWD]

***** I fixed it, just got spelling mistake wrong, thanks for your help.

[@justinphillips5571]

where do i find the hof file for map because im trying to copy a map and change the hof for the second map

[@helenasvensson5220]

Dablack_Jakobe 18 It’s in the bus that the map uses for AI, some people also put it in the map folder itself.

[@Kaufmancab51]

I'm favoriting this video. Finally figured out how to properly add a route to grundorf v 2.0 with this method.

[@MTA3306]

+Kaufmancab51 I am honored :)

[@tyler371bus]

Im doing a LHD map and I was wondering if there was a way in which i can delete or change the direction of the tracks. Some tracks are already LHD but some arent as i have already done alot of work done to my map and dont really want to delete sections of my map. Thanks!

[@MTA3306]

That requires some extra modification to crossings and splines. I only know of a handful, and a guy at AussieX modified the Spandau crossings to LHD.

[@tyler371bus]

Do u think I should just make the bits that arent right No cars or something, I have spent 72 hours on the same section of road and its a London Map. If you know any could you provide me with links please. thank you again

Hello there, Thanks alot thats really helped me your a great help. As a thanks I will be more than happy to subscribe to you as im new to all this OMSI editor stuff but thanks alot youve really helped me and also if you would like to BETA Test my map for me it would be brilliant but Private message/email me for more info. Thank You again!

[@MTA3306]

No problem. And if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them!

[@johnrenfrow6819]

I do right click all it dose is pan up and down

[@MTA3306]

I'm aware I'm late in replying to your comment (apologies) but if you go into options there should be an option that says "alt view, shift+right click pan up/down, right click move around".

[@lochlanroche8528]

may i ask aswell, how did you place the bus stops?

[@MTA3306]

In the Sceneryobjects folder, there is a file called "Generic". In there you find the bus stop cube, parked cars, entrypoints, and route markers. There are some others too. But I forget what they are

[@lochlanroche8528]

Thanks mate

[@lochlanroche8528]

how do you place them?

[@MTA3306]

Press "N" after you select any given object

[@euanb3576]

how do you find the human paths

[@helenasvensson5220]

Euan B It comes inside the road.

[@arni32293]

I´ve got a problem with creating timetables. The first two departure trips are ok (looks like this prnt.sc/miwcjd) but it screws up the next one for some reason cannot change the trip only the time idk why (after putting there a second trip/departure idk how to call them prnt.sc/miwchy)

[@MTA3306]

Arnold Bagala Some of your trips have errors in them. I think one is missing a time profile (amount of time it takes user or AI to complete trip). Double check the TTData, because there’s no “SmoothTrans” text in the first screenshot (there should be), and that each trip has everything (Route Name, number, profile, starts from terminus of another route, etc).

[@arni32293]

@@MTA3306 Thanks for your help. Sadly, I could not get that fixed, only I made it worse, screwed the other lines as well by editing Tracks & Trips. I just wanted to create a line that connects the Falkensee Bhf to Nervenklinik. I managed to have the Trip No.0 and No.1 SmoothTrans (at that point I did not done anything to the TTData and station links), but when creating the next trip problem came as before I showed you on the screenshot. Nevermind, think I´ll give up on this editor is harder to master than I thought when watching your video. Maybe I will get back to it later, but thanks anyways.

[@brapa19]

How can i get a hof for my map?

[@MTA3306]

You make it yourself

[@brapa19]

Oh thank you I have one more question How to make when you join your map and to chose spawn i cant realize how to made that I dont know how to make a station that you want to spawn on it

[@brapa19]

And do i need to download HOF creator or is he somewhere in files?

[@sbs9830m_video_productions]

can you do it OMSI 1 style?

[@MTA3306]

Sure.

[@lochlanroche8528]

how did you open the editor?

Passengers don't get on my bus

[@helenasvensson5220]

Lil Cüteli In HOF Creator go to termini of the line and select the termini you are trying to get passengers on and make sure the passengers forbidden checkbox is unchecked, if that’s not the problem make sure when you create the routes in omsi the terminus name is the same as in HOF Creator.
