New Template Files
Copy the downloaded XML file to the \Omsi\HOF Creator\templates\ folder.
"by..." means the author of the template, not of the bus itself.

Extremely nice tool - Great job!!

Nachdem ich beim Erstellen einer Hofdatei per Fuß gescheitert bin, freue ich mich darauf, dieses Programm auszuprobieren. Danke!!!

Tolles Tool, erleichtert mir das Erstellen von HOF-Dateien. Gute Arbeit!

Leider hab ich ein Problem... Habe die HOF-Datei im SD202-Ordner abgespeichert, jedoch wird nachher die HOF-Datei nicht in Omsi angezeigt.


//Edit: Fehler gefunden o.O Habe einige Werte im Tool vergessen einzugeben, da hilft einem der Debug-Modus sehr. Danke!

Bitte
Dafür ist er gedacht. Auf die Idee kam ich, weil mir das auch öfters passierte

Schön, dass der Hof Creator so gut ankommt.
Nochmals vielen Dank für deine tolle Arbeit. ^-^

This is great, but I would be honest with you that I will stick with the tradition of me and my trusty notepad, but it will be useful for those starting out.

Well, why not? Each to his own

I just have this comforting assurance that what I do is what I do if I can do so. Its easier to spot human error like passing the 16char maximum for a destination, as well, the automated process is easy, but if something goes wrong, you don't really know what it is unless you read how to properly read a .hof file which beats the point of using a .hof creator at certain times. What I might suggest is a warning that tells the user that they passed the 16 character limit and that the entire thing won't display. You could even go as far as a destination board/ibis viewer for which you can preview and find any typos without going the entire minute or 2 going on and off OMSI finding errors in either typos, or the rollsign image being too big

Danke für dieses tolle Tool !

HOF Creator automatically limits the maximum number of characters, based on a specific template file for each bus. There it says for example, that the front ANNAX can have at maximum 16 characters... so the tool automatically makes sure that the string is not longer than 16, and on top of that, it informs the user about the letter types (upper-case, lower-case or normal) and corrects mistakes automatically

The thing about the preview... thought about that, but it's not as simple because OMSI uses special fonts... for each addon bus there would have to be defined the ANNAX preview too... I don't think that this would pay

"Gefällt mir"... SEHR! Sehr gut gemacht!

Bei mir weißt du ja aus dem Thread was ich davon halte

Fantastic work, the interface looks great too!

Thanks a thousand times. This helped me very much! Respect!
Made my life easier! I find this much much easier than staring at the HOF file in Notepad! This is simplified, has help all the way to create a hof file in minutes. In simple words, it's EASY!

Thanks again Jan!

Thank you

I knew well how to edit destinations (but I'm not as strond with bus stops and route settings) but this made my life definitely easier. Just in the .hof file bit, though. But still. Thank you.

Cool! I found this much quicker that editing though the text file! Now tell me, now that I've made my routes, how can I get it to spawn AI?

I think its in one of the last chapters of the manual (check the ToC)

This is not possible with HOF Creator, you have to do it yourself.
Amy Rose gave the right tip, in the SDK manual this topic is explained very well

Hab ne Frage bezüglich Ansagen in wlecher Zeile muss ich eingeben um die Ansagen einfügen zu können mfg Tommy
Toll gemacht das Tool

Ehrlich gesagt weiß ich das nicht
Ich habe für das Template genau die Vorgaben von M&R eingehalten, ich denke also mal, dass der Dateiname der Ansage z.B. dem Name des Busstops entsprechen KÖNNTE... schau einfach mal bei Spandau nach, wie das da geregelt ist

Für Ansagen musste nichts eingeben, die er gibt sich aus der ersten Zeile nach [addbusstop] NAME

Super Programm!
Die Arbeit verkürzt sich bei mir von 20 Minuten auf 10 Minuten!

Nur eine Frage: Warum auf Englisch?
