(Automatic) Announcement Player V1.5 (22 Routes included)

What is Autoplay?
TL:DR: Autoplay plays the announcements automatically between stations
Autoplay is a functionality of the Announcement Player detecting when the user in TSW departs from a station and then plays the next announcement. Autoplay currently can only play the normal announcements between stations, door announcements are not yet supported. Note: The detection is very primitive, it just checks when the buttons for doors and acceleration are pressed.

When you should not use autoplay
Autoplay makes most sense on routes where you stop a lot, such as S-Bahn and regional services. I do not recommend it for services with only little stops.

Automatic door announcements mode
This will only work when using autoplay: It wil simply play the door side announcements when opening doors (aka when you press the hotkey for opening doors)

Paired announcements mode
Some routes/lines have two announcements betwen each station (usually one welcome and one next stop announcement). This setting will tell the program to play two announcements when it "detects the train departing". You must toggle this beforehand, mid-route may cause issues

Blocking hotkeys
Due to the way Windows and TSW handle keyboard Input, it is only possible that one program (TSW or announcement player) get the input. But as the Announcement player needs to get the input you do In-Game for the autoplayer functionality, meaning both programs need the same input, it will block the required keys so that the Announcer gets the keys, and then it will imitate your input and send it forward to TSW. You can still use any keys normally, there should be no delay or anything.

Requirements

• You must use your keybinds to control doors and throttle in-game, and these keybinds must match the keybinds you set as in-game keybinds in the Announcement Player settings.
• Using a joystick or the mouse to control doors or throttle will lead to the autoplay not working

Setup

1. Go to settings and find the toggle to enable autoplay (see this as the autoplay masterswitch)
2. The other autoplay options should now appear.
3. Give the program information about your in-game keybinds for doors and throttle (you will see settings for in-game hotkeys for left and right doors, door close and accelerate, you need to set these to the hotkeys you have in-game, for example: you accelerate in-game with "A", so you set A as the hotkey for acceleration in autoplay. Settings those in-game hotkeys only means that the program knows which of your button presses the acceleration and door controls are, this will not have any effect on your in-game hotkeys. (This step is important, autoplay will not work without it)
4. (optional) Adjust the delays for the playing of announcements (These will effect how long the autoplay waits after you depart from a station with playing the announcement and how long to wait for the second announcement after the first one (pairmode only)

Tutorial

1. If you now want to use autoplay for a route, first enable autoplay on the main page (on the left)
2. (optional) also enable pair mode, more information on this in the Autoplay Info Section above
3. You can now pick a route and a line, if you have the list of announcements, click the first announcement in the list once.
4. The first announcement in the list should be marked blue and at the bottom, you should see a text beginning with autoplay armed
5. Now you can just Start playing, and after departing from the station, the announcements should be automatically played
