📋 About This Mod

This mod is being continued over here! (Thanks, Banjobeni!)

This is a prototype mod that reuses the tutorial popups to show you where the cars for a job are. As usual, this mod requires the Unity Mod Manager for installation.

So far, the popups only guide you before you accept a job. If you are in VR, the popups will only show up when you hold the job overview in your right hand.

Version 0. 3. 0: Refactored codebase (special thanks to Banjobeni and DerJJ). The debug text may go off the textbox now, but more changes will be in the works.

Version 0. 2. 4: Improved line loading/rendering with less debug spam.

Version 0. 2. 3: Updated for build #90 with special thanks to katycat6.

Version 0. 2. 0 Changelog:

  • []The dispatcher now appears when holding an accepted job booklet and can let you know if a job is actually done before you turn it in.

    []The second-long period of "searching for cars..." has been removed for desktop users.

    []The car in the middle of a consist is now the car pointed to.

    []If your last loco is attached to a consist, the loco will be pointed to instead of the middle.

    []Added update checking and a link to this page.

    Source Code: https://github.com/Cappycot/DVDispatcherMod

    To-Do Hot List:

    • []Make popup text depend on page of job booklet.

      []Check for any derailed cars.

      []Check destination tracks for blockage before accepting a job. (Will make toggleable since this would be a cheat.)

      Planned Features:

      • Multiple different-colored lines to show job cars, destination tracks, and obstructing cars.
