Real Time
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1420955187
TrainScheduler itself does not have the ability to display the time; Real Time will allow you to check the time.

Do not use TrainScheduler with the following mods.
1. Improved Public Transport 2

## How to use
I will create a tutorial video, but until then, please use the following information to get started.

1. activate the mod from the Content Manager
TrainScheduler 0.x.x

2. load the map for which you want to set the timetable
NOTE: Pause the game after loading map

3. Select TrainScheduler from the options and click Create Template.
A template configuration file will be generated in the following folder.
Folder: [SteamLibrary installation folder]\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines
File name: TimeTable_Template.xml

The structure in the XML looks like this. Each setting value is described below.
　TimeTableData
　　Lines
　　　Line ← line ID, line name, number of stations, traffic type, mode
　　　　Stops
　　　　　Stop ←Stop Index (starting from 0), station net ID, station name, next station net ID, next station name, mode, interval
　　　　　　Departures
　　　　　　　Departure ←departure time

4. set the departure time
Enter the time in HHmm format as shown below. For other details, please refer to the options that can be changed.
　<Departure>0002</Departure>←00:02
If you want to set more than one Departure tag, add a Departure tag and do as follows: <Departure>0002</Departure>←00:02
　<Departure>0004</Departure>
　<Departure>2352</Departure>


5. rename TimeTables_Template.xml to TimeTables.xml
The timetable mod only recognizes TimeTables.xml as a timetable.

6. Click the "Reload Timetable" button in the game options screen.
This completes the timetable setup. Enjoy the game.

## To add / delete a route
Please perform steps 3-6 again.


## Options that can be changed
You can change the options shown below. Settings not listed are required for the mod to work, so do not change them.

1. Line: This option affects the entire line. If there are the same settings for each line and each station, the settings for the line take precedence. For example, if the option to run every 10 minutes is turned on for the entire line, the 10-minute interval will take precedence even if individual departure times are set for each station.
　1. Enabled: Enables/disables control by the timetable mod.
1. true: Enabled.
2. false: Disabled. If disabled, the entire route will behave the same as vanilla.
2. Mode: Toggles the unit of time setting.
1. EachStop: Sets the departure time for each station.
2. FirstToAll: Expand the departure time of the first station to all stations in the line. ***NOTE***Do not use this option as it will not work correctly.
3. UseDefaultTimeTable: Option to run trains at 10-minute intervals. Use this option when setting up a timetable becomes troublesome.
1. true: Enabled. Trains will depart at 00/10/20/30/40/50 minutes every hour.
2. false: Disabled. Use the departure time set individually.
2. Stop: Option that affects station by station. Even if lines A and B stop at the same track at station S, the settings will not interfere with each other.
1. Enabled: Enables/disables control by the timetable mod.
1. true: Enabled.
2. false: Disabled. If disabled, the departure time for this station will behave the same as vanilla.
2. UseDefaultTimeTable: Option to run at 10 minute intervals. Use this option when setting up a timetable becomes tedious.
1. true: Enabled. Trains will depart at 00/10/20/30/40/50 minutes every hour.
2. false: Disabled. Use the departure time set individually.
3. Mode: Select interval or individual departure time setting.
1. Indivisually: All departure times are set individually. This is more time-consuming, but allows for fine-tuning.
2. IntervalTime: Specify departure times at intervals (in minutes). Subsequent Interval and End options must be set.
4. Interval: Specifies the interval between departures as a positive integer, valid only if Mode in the Stop option is IntervalTime; an integer must be set even if Mode is Indivisually.
5. End: Set the end time when Mode is IntervalTime, using 4 digits. If not used, set 0000.

Example 1: If IntervalTime is 06:00 start, 10-minute interval, and 23:00 end, set as follows
<Stop StopNumber="0" Mode="IntervalTime" Interval="10" End="2300">
<Departures>
<Departure>0600</Departure>

Example 2: Inidivisually set individual departure times
<Stop StopNumber="0" Mode="Indivisually" Interval="-1" End="0000">
<Departures>
<Departure>0000</Departure>
<Departure>0010</Departure>
<Departure>0020</Departure>
<Departure>0030</Departure>

## Trouble Shooting
* Check the timetable
The timetable is logged immediately after "Reload Timetable" or immediately after map loading. If you feel that the timetable is not set properly, please check the log to see if the intended departure time has been set.
The location of the log is as follows
Example: [SteamLibrary installation folder]\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\output_log.txt
For example, the output will be as follows. Example is the 1st departure time of LineID=46
> === Line[46] has 8 stop(s) ===
> Stops[0] Departures: 1408 / 1418 / 1428 / 1438 / 1448 / 1458 / 1508 / 1518 / 1528 / 1538 / 1548 / 1558 / 1608 / 1618 / 1628 / 1638 / 1648 / 1703 /

* Especially, please check Enabled option in both of line and stop. Both are true, departure time is enabled.

* If it still does not work, please send TimeTables.xml and output_log.txt together.


## Attention.
* Do not publish this mod to the others without permission.
* Please post issue reports on Twitter or in the comments of this page. As I am a private person, I cannot promise a response.

## Restrictions.
* Cannot set timetable from within the game (to be addressed in the future).
* Station name does not appear if you use station tracks.

## Request
I recognize that setting the timetable in a text editor is an issue, but we can't think of a good way to set it up. I am looking for feedback on what you would like to see happen with the setting method, what kind of UI you would prefer, etc.
Please post them here on Twitter or in the comments on this page.
