Walk & Drive feature update

Hello respected community!

Today I have rather bigger update to keep you entertained if you're stuck at home as I do :)

With this update, you can finally dive fully into your world and enjoy it by walking, jumping, running, colliding with objects. You can also enter / exit vehicles / building cameras using this mode.

Once you are in a vehicle, you can control it as a driver! Try to fulfill every day routine as one of your bus or train driver or drive on your own.

To make driving easier, I've also implemented yellow signals, that warn you when approaching red signal. At the moment, yellow signals are treated as a green signal for AI, but may be crucial when controlling the train manually. And it looks great :)

Last but not least, one way roads are now possible to place. You may change existing one or even "paint" one way limitations into each direction of crossroad.

[h2]First Person Mode[/h2]
  • Put on your shoes and hurray out
  • New Walk mode including collisions, sprint, jump, sounds, ... :)
  • Every object enterable directly from walk mode
  • Cameras inside vehicles and buildings are visible and usable easily


[h2]Driver mode[/h2]
  • Now it is possible to drive your trains!
  • You are the driver, so you can change actual engine power, use bakes
  • You control also each junction so you may go anywhere or just follow the automatic navigation
  • You need to avoid collisions and follow signals as well or stop the train before station ends (proper positioning on a station affects speed of loading/unloading)
  • And this applies to your road vehicles as well ;)
  • You have the possibility to counter loading / unloading when driving the vehicle.
  • Also you can re-stop on station and continue loading / unloading.


[h2]Yellow signals[/h2]
  • Based on community feedback on driver mode, I've added yellow signals warning you that red signal is ahead so you can slow down and prepare to stop
  • For AI, this acts as an ordinary green signal for now
  • For chain signal used as an entrace for multiple exit signals, it is yellow if any of following signal is red


[h2]One-way roads[/h2]
  • You may easily place one-way roads!
  • Road vehicles will respect the direction and may use overpassing easier
  • Within road crossings, you decide on each line if it is bidirectional (no arrows there) or one way


[h2]Other[/h2]
  • Added Possibility to place HQ from company window
  • Added Possibility to rename company (HQ)
  • Fixed Depot tutorial
  • Added Sorting mods by alphabeth order
  • Added Filtering mods by type
