Hi raptor
I agree with that.
It's very difficult to keep in mind which objects can be found at which developer. No matter if you search for vehicles, buildings, plants, animals and so on.
A solution for this dilemma could only be solved by creating a huge database with every and all objects available, sorted by type, developer and origin (where to buy/download) with a small picture and a short description, maybe with informations of different repaints, sizes, compatibilities, special functions or maybe if winter and/or night textures are available and with links to similar objects.
It should be possible to search in it. Criterias could be: Developer (Kuju?), categorie (f.e. Tunnels?), nation (f.e. US-material?) and so on or with some key words like coal, fence, industrial, cow, light...
Inside Railworks I can't see any possibility to "heal" this chaotic directory philosophy. The lack of a unique standardized naming convention makes it even harder and the unability of some developers to name their objects in multiple languages are another point of difficulty. Not all objects are named in english... some are only french, czech or german or are named in a cryptic matter.
Last but not least many objects are hidden in wrong categories.
In my healthy opinion it's an impossible task to get an intelligent and tidy object management.
The idea of a database could be a solution for this, but this would need a lot of manpower and time to create this and to keep it up to date with new released objects.
Any other ideas?
