This mod makes changes to the whole line network as of 1.1.2021. Mod also adds tons of changes to the entire map as well as other quality of life improvements.

This mod is created as a chrono event and makes changes to lines at the beginning of year 2021.

The new numbering is a design choice of mine. Some buses display 8xx lines as Mxx, so I decided that as of 2021, the lines of ALU will gradually be numbered with certain logic:

  • 100-199 for Ahlheim based lines operated by AVG,
  • 200-299 for Laurenzbach based lines operated by SLZ,
  • 300-399 for Derenhofen based lines operated by Rheinlandbus and Andresen.
  • X1-X99 are reserved for express lines which skip stops

I am aware there is three other line package mods already for ALU:

Emily Prentiss, Ceddiearts and tfc.

This mod does not collide with those three, you can use those with my mod. Those mods complement this mod nicely.

I included the hof files of those three to my hof file, so you can use one hof-file. Hof-file also contains all the original entries.

  • Hey, where do I get the liveries for the C2, DL09 and the Citywide?

    • All liveries I use and that are mentioned in the AI lists are available on this site :)

      Navigate to files and start searching repaints for each.

  • Hi! The left new start point bus stop is not in the start point list (right - original ALU map). How can I update or create a new starting point list? If you know about this? Thank you!

    • I solved it, I have to create Entry Point in Editor and place it, enter the name and save the map. It works! But thanks anyway! ;) The only question is where save... (Map/ALU map...)?

      Ich liebe es! 1

    • If you add new starting points, it always adds it to main map file to the original file because it is a modification to the map. Or what you mean by where save? :)

      Danke 1

    • Aha, okay. :)

  • Thanks for putting up this awesome mod!


    Just a question, I have been playing it and it is lagging quite a lot. I am fairly sure my computer hasn't got a performance issue (4060 + 13700HX) and from looking at the logfile, there seems to be a lot of "bus stop XXX no exiting path" and also tile refresh (don't know whether the two are linked) that are causing the issue.


    I have also used maptool and didn't find any missing objects or splines.


    I was wondering whether anyone know what's wrong (i.e. have I missed any files) or whether it is how the map is and just have to live with the lag.


    Thanks heaps!

    • Hey, I'm happy to hear you enjoy it! :)


      Your computer specs are definitely enough for this game, and usually the issues comes from the fact that OMSI cannot benefit from your PC's resources fully. That's why there is e.g. that 4GB mod which should be run from time to time just in case there's been an update.


      For the log file, that refresh tile is a normal logging. It comes up when a new tile is loaded in the game.

      Those "no exiting path" errors are odd when they happen for stop cubes that are not at the edge of the map. I'm not sure if it is related to tile loading setting. E.g. if you (and you should) load only 1 neighbouring tile, maybe it fails to see beyond that. In any case I don't see it cause any lagging.


      Usually when I encounter lag in ALU, it has been either a bus loading into the game or I have loaded a tile with heavy load of objects and AI traffic. Of course the first one usually happens when new tile is loaded. I have tried to mitigate this issue by looking into the log file and switching out AI buses that encounter errors during loading. Also, tuning down the number of AI traffic, especially AI buses could help some. This could be the best option to alleviate the situation as this mod increases the number of lines and departures tremendously compared to the original. Thus, there is quite a lot more for the game to calculate.


      To make it clear, I don't see anything wrong with your game there. I have learned to live with the lags since they are quite minimal most of the time.

    • Your routes are great because it actually allows us to utilise those highways, and I like the tighter timetable as well cause I don't like driving 30-40 km/h and not pushing the performance of the buses.


      What do you mean by "stop cubes that are not at the edge of the map"? As in... The bus stop was outside of the tile and is still loaded which cause the error?


      I guess either way it means it is what it is, I might just have to reduce the AI by a bit cause and the tiles as well cause now I am running on max 100 AI buses + 2 tiles.

    • It is also more realistic to have tight schedules, or at least in a way that small interruption will cause delay.


      I meant that when there is a bus stop cube at the edge of the map tile, there will not always be a neighbouring tile with roads. Thus, there won't be any outgoing connections from that cube to another cube. But most of those cubes listed were those that are definitely used on the lines to make the connections easier and more efficient. Then there shouldn't be that warning, but then again it was merely a warning. I'd say overlook it, hasn't been causing any issues at my end.


      Oh, in that case, that +2 tiles is possibly the issue for your lags! Try reducing it to 1 at first and see how it affects your game. Then if needed reduce AI buses and observe the effects.

  • Greetings.

    I really like this mod and all, but unfortunately have one complaint: The timetable on most lines haven't been optimised properly, causing the driver to be late rather quickly.

    I've noticed this especially on all SLZ Lines and all routes on the SB_X lines as well, is there a reason why the timetable is so tight?

    But overall, this line network overhaul is a great addition to the map, just better timetables would be great to enjoy the new routes better. I appreciate it.

    Ich liebe es! 1

    • Hi,


      great to hear that! :)

      Fiddling with the schedules is constant balancing, and over the course of developing this mod, I have gotten multiple messages to make changes to both directions.


      It is tough to find the perfect fit for the schedules. E.g. if one of the traffic lights on the route happens to be beneficial and change green almost directly, you can easily be early from the next stop onwards. And same in reverse.

      It is not random how the lights starts at each intersection, but it is random in that sense that it depends on when the game loads the tile that contains those lights. Thus, a schedule that is nearly perfect for someone may be a disaster for another depending on the settings and tile loads. I have tried to take this into account on some particular areas on the map where there could be long waits on the traffic lights, for example S Kaplanstrasse.


      Recently I tightened the scheduled on SB_X lines due to feedback and for noticing the amount of air on some specific intervals on the lines myself. I am aware those changes made the lines harder to be on time but I try to look at it from another point of view.

      It gives a bit more realism to driving as public transport authorities around Europe do tend to make tight schedules to make lines as cost-efficient as possible but still being plausible according to statistics. Another reason for this change is to avoid unnecessary waiting on the line. It is annoying for passengers (or so we can assume) and it messes with the AI traffic. The schedules don't take AI traffic into account 100%. Yes, traffic is taken into account to some extent but OMSI AI traffic tends to cause havoc and unintentional gridlocks easily. And longer one stays put on a stop the more time AI traffic has time to mess things about ahead on the line.

      Even though I have made schedules tighter, I have kept the departures the same. Less time on the line means more time to turn around.


      Of course I cannot exclude the possibility of bugs either. I've noticed from time to time that even though editor said otherwise and save went through, the game uses different values all of a sudden.

      That said, if you have any specific stop intervals in mind that need some work, please do let me know. Preferably, when you have driven the problematic part several times and notice that the schedule fails most of the time there, I'd love to know which interval and how to finetune the schedule there. Best would be for me to get the report file which shows at the end of the route showing your departures and arrivals.

    • Thanks for the brief yet detailed reply! Now I understand why it just makes more sense. As well at the end of the line you end up on time anyway, and the delay happens somewhere in the middle. But I've certainly noticed that the AI traffic has indeed improved a lot. Now the buses aren't inside each other anymore, so thank you for that!

    • Good, it was a bit of a burden to try to put it into coherent explanation! :D


      I have tried to mitigate the delays with adding or leaving little extra on some stop intervals where there is a bus bay or something to wait departure time in. That way you won't block AI traffic except possible other buses. In OMSI 2/Addons/ALU/Line network overhaul, there is a document which name I completely forgot but it contains all lines with details on where to wait for departure times. It can be used for reference.


      Another thing which is spread across the exhaustive list of changes applied by my mod at the end of the OMSI 2/Addons/ALU/Line network/Handbook.pdf, is the relocation of stops. With some proven concepts from real world I have managed to make the traffic more fluent and have buses avoid unnecessary delays caused by traffic lights and other traffic. And in recent updates I have added also extra turn signals to traffic lights where applicable and safe. It is worth mentioning AI traffic doesn't understand those added lights but at least players can benefit from them.

      If I had to approximate, I'd say half of the intersections on the map could use some improvements to traffic light cycles to make them more efficient and to increase throughput. However, it is somewhat unclear to me if I am allowed to make changes to those cycles and include them to my mod.

  • I really like this mod makes me not use any other maps anymore lol.


    But I still haven't been able to fix these log Warnings: Im using the supplied AILIST with just changed Repaints and changed KI versions






    I took a look in the .ttl files and if I understand them correctly its calling upon Andresen Solo/Gelenk; but the problem seems to be in wanting to assign buses to specifics tours, Is this fixable by just adding more buses to each of the [aigroup_depot_typgroup_2] ? The base of the Ai list is the supplied one from the mod, so there haven't been changes from me to the amount of each listed bus or the Groups names.


    Or could this just be a non issue warning? Due to how Omsi behaves as the map is populated with AI Buses on those lines

    • Hi, I am absolutely thrilled to hear that! :)


      About that error, no, there should not be such error at all. It indicates about a failure and should be fixed. It is not caused by the number of buses listed there, the game doesn't care about that. But it can be a syntax error, e.g. a typo somewhere, possibly a bus that you don't have or something like that.


      Just to make sure, which ailists did you update: the one in OMSI 2\maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated or the one in OMSI 2\maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated\chrono\Line_network_overhaul_2021? The second one, named ailists_#upd.cfg, overrides the first one. I am asking this because when I look at that group Rheinlandbus und Andresen on that example, it seems to have the basis of the original ailists.cfg and then copied one of the groups on the ailists_#upd.cfg. All changes must be done in ailists_#upd.cfg.

      But since the error is only happening with one particular group, in this case Andresen Solo which is used by those tours, we can focus on that one.


      And now that I've written that and stared at that ailists copy-paste above, I possibly found you the bug. See the bolded part below. The end tag is faulty and uses curly brackets instead of square ones.

      Danke 1

    • Lol, no clue how that went through Notepad++ without being highlighted... Thanks for that, changed it now log is finally clear again.


      Yes I'm using the ailists_#upd.cfg, from the chrone/line network overhaul folder

    • Hi, that seems to be some kind of incompatibility issue with BBS and this chrono event. I do not own BBS and thus I cannot really debug it much, but I have encountered this with someone else before on another line mod. However, we couldn't figure out what was the root cause of the issue.

    • Hello line 210, because it only went out of the airport, we have realized that something is wrong with the 210's rotations, so we have closed line 210, and it is currently no longer available on BBS.



      Here the developer has to fix it, if the line is fixed, then we can try again.

    Gefällt mir 1

    • I think it might be caused by either or by both your settings and buses chosen for the ailists. This mod adds quite a few more lines to the game as well as a lot of new departures. Thus, it takes more effort for the game to manage to calculate all lines for the AI traffic etc.

      Moreover, an updated ailists file comes with the mod and it can be found here: OMSI 2\maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated\chrono\Line_network_overhaul_2021. Depending on what buses you have chosen there it might vary how fast the game manages to render them.


      I'd say go through your settings and adjust the number of scheduled and unscheduled traffic as well as the number of pedestrians. Priority schedule should be at most three unless you are sure your computer can handle it.

  • HI I hope that you are good, I have some suggestions here

    Bus stop 110 Am Laater Berg - Fachzentrum Umwelttechnik towards Campus Dornumerberg to a few meters backwards to better intersection when leaving the bus stop

    Bus stop Siegfriedstraße for 110 and 146 to be after the intersection to better interaction

    Combine route 116 and 149, from Stadtgarten Planetario to Ruebenkamp it would be interesting

    • Hey! Have you tried reinstalling the mod? There seems to be an issue with line 119 for you. I'll double check the error on my end, but it seems odd there is only errors on one line here.

      UPDATE: Wait, it was too obvious. You installed one of the updates over the existing mod without removing it first. Line 119 is discontinued and replaced with other lines, and thus some parts of it might not work anymore. So, remove folder 'OMSI 2\maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated\chrono\Line_network_overhaul_2021' and install this mod again. It should solve everything. If you have edited the ailists_#upd.cfg file, be sure to back it up first.

    • Hey, thanks for messaging me. Which HOF file did you use? I am aware there might have been a faulty one on chrono event folder for some reason, but THE ACTUAL FILE that should be used is located in 'OMSI 2/Addons/ALU/Line network overhaul'. In that folder you can find all supporting documentation and especially the handbook that contains a lot of extra information.

      Try copy-pasting the HOF file from that folder to your bus folders you want to use. Be sure to overwrite the original file. Sometimes it is easy to not do so and at least on Win11 it still acts like something was replaced even though timestamp clearly shows otherwise. :)

      Could you copy paste your log file into a spoiler element here for me to look through it?
      That error could be caused by a numerous issues, but hopefully log file will help us to narrow it down.


      Just to be sure, did you check the installation guide from the Handbook provided in OMSI 2/Addons/ALU/Line network overhaul?

    • Not sure if i fixed it. but by replacing the ailist file inside the LIne network overahul folder seems to fix it. if i get errorse again i'll contact you here and send the logfile. Thanks

    • So it might have been an issue with the buses in the updated ailists file. Do note that the file inside the chrono event folder contained couple of NEW ai groups which will result to other errors if you overwrote the file and did not include those groups to the replacement file. There is two ways to handle the file properly:

      1. Open the file and in the chrono event folder and change the buses (and repaints) to your liking, e.g. from the main ailists.cfg file. And once done, make a backup copy of the file within the chrono event folder.

      2. Make a copy of the ailists.cfg file and copy the new groups from the updated file. Update the used buses for those groups and then overwrite the file within the chrono event folder. Make a backup copy of the file within the chrono event folder.

  • Hi! Do I need to change the ailist.cfg ai buses? For Mercedes Facelift AI buses only Voith works best. I see you have many other buses and vehicles on your list. Can you describe what vehicles are required? Is it necessary or can it be ignored?

    Gefällt mir 1

    • No vehicle is required, you can switch all buses on ailists to fit your game and liking.

      In the handbook that can be found in the dedicated folder for this mod under OMSI 2/Addons/ALU/ there is a chapter with some additional information regarding ailists.

      But in short, navigate to OMSI 2\maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated\chrono\Line_network_overhaul_2021 and update the ailists file there as you want.

    I really like your new Update. But unfortunately the hof datei is not updated so for example I have the line 220 still from Wakkermannplatz to Klinikum S, while in the Timetable it runs only to Derenhofen Markt. Are you planning on updating this as well? Would be nice since I don't quite come after everything that has changed in this enourmos hof datei haha. Would be appreciated.

    • Hi, are you sure you let it overwrite when installing the update? I double-checked and the stoplists for line 220 are in fact updated. Only the infosystrip part had Klinikum S instead of DH Markt, but that information shouldn't really be visible anywhere.

      And yes I'll fix that minor cosmetic error. :D

    • I think I actually solved it myself maybe. There was still the old Hof Datei in the chrono event. And as I let it overwrite everything there was a difference in 28 files. But still thanks for your Support. :)

  • I have a problem. Why it is sowing this error?

    • A few what I can spot:

      • Ende Baustelle DH-Süd S has some issues on the configuration apparently. Also, I'm not sure if it works nicely with my mod since I don't have this mod nor know which is it.
        "Error: Missing [end] in file maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated\Chrono\Ende Baustelle DH-Süd S\Chrono.cfg - or is too long (>255 lines)!"
      • One of the fonts is faulty: "Error: In "Fonts\Buse_15x6.oft" there was an error in line 85!" This does not prevent playing but should be fixed for the bus that uses it to work correctly.
      • You seem to have old files included in the chrono folder: "Warning: Line "maps\Ahlheim_Laurenzbach Updated\Chrono\Line_network_overhaul_2021\TTData\SB_510-520.ttl", tour 90: Entry 17 begins before previous entry ends!"
        Lines 510 and 520 were renamed to X10 and X20 quite a while back. I'd say remove the mod completely and install it again just to be sure no old files are left there.
      • Your game runs into memory issues most likely due to that aforementioned issue as well as it failing to load a bus: "Error: The file "vehicles\MAN_NewLionsCity\KI_MAN_12C_3door.bus" could not be loaded!".
        Do you have that MAN NLC addon? If yes, check that the files are fine because the game seems to be unable to load it. If no, check from the handbook that game with the mod how to edit the ailists.cfg. The handbook is found in OMSI 2\Addons\ALU\Line network overhaul 2021 and it contains a section for this.

  • Hello, I am having a repeat issue loading the map. I am stuck with the "fehler bei bereichsprufung" error after loading the map without busses, setting the date to the current year and choosing any of the spawn points.

It should be noted that this error is preventing me from loading into the map and keeps me stuck at the main menu


    Thanks for the help in advance as I am at a total loss of what to do, when I first downloaded the overhaul I was able to play the map but I couldn't get the signs to work due to me not adding the right .hof for the bus I wanted to use (Scania GN14).

    Here is my logfile

    • Well, apparently it runs into memory issues when loading buses. I have a few follow-ups:

      • Was the first version of the mod you downloaded the newest one right now or did you update the mod at least once?
      • Do you own MAN New Lion's City and Berlin BRT DLCs, and are they up-to-date?
      • When was the last time you executed 4GB mod?
      • What buses do you use in the ailists?

      In the latest update, the ailists was added to the chrono even folder. This updated AI lists "overwrites" the one in the root folder of the map.

      • Have you updated and/or adjusted this new ailists_#upd.cfg file?

      To me it looks like an issue somehow revolving around the ailists because both MAN NLC and BRT C2 fails to load. I believe both have recently received (within few months) some updates.


      Suggestions:

      • First, just in case, run 4GB if there has been some kind of update to OMSI itself. Try loading the map and mod (date at least 1.1.2021) and see if it helps at all.
      • Then, try loading the map prior to the mod by simply setting the date somewhere before 1.1.2021. Does the map open? If not, maybe an "reinstallation" of the tile files only might solve some issues. I tend to do this regularly especially since I edit the mod just to make sure my tile files of the map are intact.
      • If the previous didn't encounter an issue, try replacing both MAN NLC and BRT C2, or at least MAN, in the ailists that is located within the chrono folder (instruction are in the manual for this btw) with something else, for example MAN GN92 that is part of the base game and see if it helps.
        Judging by the first error line "Error: The file "vehicles\MAN_NewLionsCity\KI_MAN_12C_3door.bus" could not be loaded!" your installation of MAN might have an issue or the issue was simply caused by the memory issues in general.
      • And at last, what other buses you use in the ailists? If the issue is caused by something eating up the memory, usually the culprit is one or few heavier buses.

    • Thanks for the quick reply!


      - I installed the earliest version and then went up to the newest removing old files as directed by the instructions

      - I do not own the new Lions City nor the Berlin BRT DLC's so I am not sure why it is trying to find something I do not own

      - last time is did the 4GB patch was a few weeks ago when my settings randomly reset themselves

      - Currently I was under the assumption I was using the MB 0530 but after reading your notes i'm realising the ailists_#upd.cfg might be the main cause of that issue. I havent changed anything other than the preset busses for those lists


      It should also be noted:


      - Map loading prior to the mod loads perfectly fine


      I'll try changing the busses in the new ailists and see if that helps! Thanks again for the quick response! 🙏

    • UPDATE: it worked, it was just the DLC busses aha. Thanks a bunch for your help!


      I have a new issue though as the bussed I added in (busses I have installed) don't work and I basically load up the game with no AI busses, only cars and people. But that I can solve on my own, I guess either OMSI is being very picky or I somehow messed up the lists

      Ich liebe es! 1

    • Great! I didn't get a notification for your reply so I'm late on this. But yes, that ailists_#upd.cfg was recently added to provide a couple of more groups for buses. Thus, updating the list to your needs and liking was mandatory.


      If the buses won't spawn, it can be a faulty entry in the ailists of course, but that will show on the logfile as a bus that couldn't be found etc. One thing you can do is to replace the buses on the updated list with the original ones you had and then use something for the new groups. It should work just fine then.
