Effort to continue (or taking over) this mod?
I am starting this thread to see if there is any ongoing effort to continue to support this mod, either the author comes back or gives the source code to someone else, or someone starts a new mod of the same functionality.

I took a look at the generated *.cslmap file, and it's pretty nicely organized, I think someone just needs to build a new map renderer and reuse the XML generation.

So far I found this:
https://www.felixcloutier.com/cslweb/
But don't think it loads roads for me

If anyone would like to tryout my attempt so far, you can find it on my GitHub:

The reason I am asking is I am exploring the possibility of making a new viewer for this.
I couldn't find any source code for this mod, only the UI file for translation. But I could make a viewer that draws the map using the same *.cslmap from this mod

It'd be awesome for someone to continue on this mod. Its essential if you ask me.

Any word back yet Kev? A great app that's a real shame not to be maintained, plus the "felixcloutier" online CSL map viewer isn't working now too.

Hello, you can take look at what I have so far below, but it has been difficult. I am not sure how the original mod recreate transit line as the .cslmap file only gives you the location of every stops.

You would have to have Python to run it for now, but I can try to package it into an excusable (.exe) in the near future once its more polished.

If one has the Microsoft Visual Studio tools, it has built in tools to explore the internal programming interfaces and the "bytecode" (Intermediate Language) that the C# compile into. The tool is called "ILDASM" and I'm sure there are decompilers out there to convert the "bytecode" back into C#.

If this is copyright violation I have no idea.

Without explicit consent by the author it definitely is.

actually im pretty sure there would be no infringement unless this code were patented or something. plus this mod hasnt been update din about 3ish years and no longer functions. on top of that it relies on a product that you need to buy before being able to use it. Grey area at least, perfectly legal at best but mostly scummy without permission

Thanks for the idea. I think the uncompile route is a bit extreme, especially if it's compiled with any level of optimization.

I looked through the code, it uses a WPF front calling into class libraries that do the rendering and what not. I'm not a graphics guy, so it's all greek to me, but seems easy enough to look at.

Does anyone know what the issue with rendering R2 railway networks is? If i wasn't busy with work and had summer classes coming up I'd like to work at it but alas time is not on my side.

I think we could make use of current GIS software to do that. Now I'm trying to convert the cslmap to GeoJSON file so that QGIS will load it directly. Here's my little effort: https://github.com/delick/cslmap_converter

Is this similar to OSM export mod from CS2?

Can I export terrain data with your tool?
