TS2019: Increase number of people/bystanders

Post by LundeSDK »

Hi,

Is there a way to increase the number of people waiting on platforms you pass by and call at in TS2019? It seems it's a fixed number, usually between 4-5, for the scenarios I've tried on the WCML and ECML. It would be a bit more realistic with more people appearing during rush hour, and fewer at night. Perhaps there's a configuration somewhere for that or a number you can tweak? Basically it would be great to populate platforms depending on the time of day.

Edit: now posted in the right forum. Regards, Christian.

You can also use the "invisible" platforms to create crowd scenes away from the platforms - such as ramps to roads (extensively used by Keith Ross on WCML-N and other routes). These too can have their densities/time of day changed
There are also features such as a "point of interest" to place on a platform which "attracts" passengers to its location (instead of them spreading out along the platform) - they can keep each other warm in the winter!
