Hello, I reported a issue at CSLmapview. It happen to all underground or sunken station. Does it caused by too close station? I solved it temporarily by made a sideway at outer node. Is this harmful?

Thanks.

@Berisacharov

I just tested it and I was able to create a new underground train line. Maybe check if your underground tracks are really connected? This is just an experimental proof of concept so I don't really plan to update it in the future.

Hi Sway,

Could you test it if it still works? Im practically playing on Vanilla, with said assets that are in your description. But I cant get the lines to connect to the station. Even tho I am testing it with a similar setup as in your YouTube video.

Just tried today, and it works, partially. At the ends of the platform, it has the same sort of thing as the regular station, where bits of track would normally stick out and prevent building. There's no track there in this one, but it still prevents building.

@rkdclgh You also need to adjust the pedestrian path. You probably need to load this asset in the asset editor, use Move It and More Network Stuff mods to change the purple path in the picture, and save the modified -36m version as a new asset.

Hi! Can't I adjust the depth of the train platform? I forced the depth of the train platform to be -36m, but there are no passengers using the train line. The tracks are properly connected.

@decashmoney
Follow the steps and the linked video in my previous comment. You can see there isn't any tunnel entrance between those two underground stations

sway how do i prevent the tunnel entrance from popping up
sway  [author] 10 Jul, 2021 @ 12:38pm 
I made a short demo video to show how to connect the tracks and show that this asset is still working as of 7/10/2021:

- Make sure road anarchy is enabled
- Make sure you connect the track to the outer nodes of the underground stations
- There won't be any tunnel entrance between two underground stations

@布摇沙窝 I just tested it and it still works. There shouldn't be any tunnel entrance between two underground stations
@hamburg1972m Yes I am going to make a short demo video to show how to connect the tracks. It will be posted soon
hamburg1972m 9 Jul, 2021 @ 6:49am 
@sway Could you maybe still add a youtube video how you connect tracks to your station? The two you linked so far are proving the connection works, but some of us would need help to get as far. Thanks in advance!
布摇沙窝 29 Jun, 2021 @ 7:29pm 
Sorry, but the tunnel entrances exist again... @sway
sway  [author] 24 Oct, 2020 @ 12:38pm 
@vilamno You probably can change the platform length and the position of the stopping points by modifying the station track in the asset editor. It's just a PoC and it's underground so I didn't attempt to make it accurate or realistic.

Compared with other station, this one seems has longer platform, and the train doesnt stop at middle of platform. Is this normal?

The station work normally by the way.
sway  [author] 19 Oct, 2020 @ 8:40am 
@Sunstoorm if you couldn't create a new train line then it means the tracks were not actually connected. It's underground so it can be a bit tricky. Probably need to use Fine Road Tool's node snapping feature and Fine Road Anarchy.
Sunstoorm 18 Oct, 2020 @ 2:13pm 
i tried to connect it to the outer nodes but i cannot connect the trainline
sway  [author] 18 Oct, 2020 @ 8:21am 
@Sunstoorm be more specific...like how did it not work and what actually happened? I don't think you need the DLC.
Sunstoorm 18 Oct, 2020 @ 7:13am 
its not working here. Do you think i need sunset harbour dlc first?
benzoll 13 Aug, 2020 @ 11:19pm 
Station works, and you can put train line. :hardhat:
It costs a lot to join the tracks to the station, but in the end it is achieved.
I use "fine road anarchy".
sway  [author] 9 Aug, 2020 @ 7:10am 
This asset is definitely working as of today(8/9/2020). I can create new train line with them without any problem.

Here's what I did if you're interested:

If you can't create a new line, it means you didn't connect your station correctly. I can't really help.
Yamabiko 9 Aug, 2020 @ 4:19am 
The route cannot be set.
sway  [author] 8 Aug, 2020 @ 7:16pm 
@jcmpaz Usually it means your two train stations are not actually connected by train tracks, although they might look so. It's underground so the issue can be hard to notice.I usually put a dummy station in between and try to add a new train line including the dummy station, so I can figure out which part of the connection is broken.
jcmpaz 8 Aug, 2020 @ 6:32pm 
Hi! Great Job. But I can't get it to work when trying to creating a new train líne it doesn't link like there was no station at all. I will really appreciate your help so I can use this amazing prop
Justin Credible 7 Aug, 2020 @ 8:02am 
Sounds too complicated for me to :). I will stick with your asset and because it happens underground nobody will see the train crossing anyway :).
sway  [author] 7 Aug, 2020 @ 7:54am 
@Mike You might be able to make it work by modifying Railway's tracks into new tunnel station track and sunken station track and set them to have inverted direction. I don't really have any experience in network assets so I don't know how to do it. I only know how to change cable car pylons lol.
Justin Credible 7 Aug, 2020 @ 7:49am 
Ok, thanks, got it. And anyway, your station is also totally working if it is connected to left-hand rails. It is only that trains are changing the side from left to right when entering and back when leaving the station. No big thing, just a typical first world problem I had with that crossing :).
So thank you again for this so much needed asset!
sway  [author] 7 Aug, 2020 @ 7:27am 
@Mike I think it is because ETST's tracks are dynamically generated everytime the game is loaded, so they are not real editable network assets. There was no way to make network assets a few years ago so some older mods use this approach to add new roads/tracks to the game. Network Extension 2 is another mod that does this. You can place the network in buildings but the network itself isn't editable.
Justin Credible 7 Aug, 2020 @ 12:38am 
Thanks for replying.
Yes it is about left-hand train traffic on a right-hand traffic map. In the workshop you can find some modified tracks from Ronyx69/Revo´s RAILWAY universe, and I modified an additional track which I needed by myself in the editor. It was very easy, in "Road Properties > Lanes > Lane Properties" I just had to change all "Direction" settings from foward to backward and from backward to forward.

My intension was to also try this with your ETST track, don´t know why I get the "NetInfo missing [BrokenAssetException]" error message when I try to open the asset in the editor.
Maybe you can give it a try with changing the "Direction" settings.
sway  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 5:28pm 
@Mike Is it like having left-hand train traffic while the rest of the city being in right-hand traffic? Unfortunately I think this could only be done by using tunnel station track that is made in reversed direction, and ETST doesn't offer this option. I don't know how to make train track asset.

I don't know why you couldn't load this in the editor, but you can try to load Bloody Penguin's original version and work on it instead. Just remember that you need to add more pedestrian paths to make sure that cims have access to the other platform.
Justin Credible 6 Aug, 2020 @ 3:39pm 
Thanks a lot, it is working, no forced tunnel entrances any more! That was a real pain after Sunset Harbor!

But one thing, could you also please do a second version for left hand train drive to realise a prototypical switzerland train traffic even underground? Unfortunately I can not try to do this by myself because fot whatever reason I am not able to load your asset in the editor.
