As luck may have it, on 01.09.2021 the XML file list at https://tsw2-store.trainsimworld.net/ is currently not protected for outside users unlike every other file listing so this is easy to figure out. If the file is not public anymore you can check it on the Wayback Mashine.

TSW looks for the following files in the root directory:

/store.json Languages available
/live-en.json Master json (seemingly irrelevant for the user)
/steam-en.json Steam
/gdk-en.json Gamepass (Microsoft Store)
/ps5-en.json PlayStation 5
/egs-en.json Epic Games Store

The store.json looks like this:

{

"egs": [ "en" ],

"ps5": [ "en" ],

"steam": [ "en" ],

"psn": [ "en" ],

"live": [ "en" ],

"gdk": [ "en" ]

}

The platform store json files look like this:

{

"packages": [

{

"isOnPromo": false,

"isBundle": false,

"entitlesProducts": [

],

"itemType": "route",

"imageURLs": [

"",

""

],

},

{

}

The Mastery data is pulled as a JSON from the following URLs:

TSW 2: https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/mastery/tsw2

TSW 2020: https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/mastery/tsw

You can look at a specific user's Mastery by adding their username (NAME-XXXX) after a slash at the end of the URL.

They both have the same setup, just with different data and look like this in JSON form:

[WIP]

The Community Challange Rewards are fetched from https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/mastery/tsw2/community/rewards for TSW 2 or https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/mastery/tsw/community/rewards for TSW 2020 in JSON form:

[

{

"id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",

"franchise": 4,

"type": "DOWNLOAD_ITEM",

"title": "TITLE",

"description": "DESCRIPTION",

"image": "URL",

"image_hidden": "URL",

"image_expanded": "URL",

"value": 1,

"metadata": {

"id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",

"meta": { "download_url": "URL" }

},

"date_unlocked": "2021-10-14T23:00:00.000Z",

"unlocked": true,

"challenge": {

"id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",

"title": "EVENT TITLE",

"event_start": "2021-10-07T11:00:00.000Z",

"event_finish": "2021-10-14T23:00:00.000Z"

}

},

{

"id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",

"franchise": 4,

"type": "PROFILE_PICTURE",

"title": "TITLE",

"description": "DESCRIPTION",

"image": "URL",

"image_hidden": "URL",

"image_expanded": null,

"value": 1,

"date_unlocked": "2020-10-26T23:30:00.000Z",

"unlocked": true,

"challenge": {

"id": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",

"title": "EVENT TITLE",

"event_start": "2020-10-05T12:00:00.000Z",

"event_finish": "2020-10-26T23:30:00.000Z"

}

}

]

The unlocked value get's it's data from the DTG servers based on your cookies, there is no way to look at a specific user by changing the URL.

The combined rewards list is fetched as a JSON from https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/mastery/tsw2/rewards/ for TSW 2 or https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/mastery/tsw/rewards/ for TSW 2020 and is a combination out of the above two JSONs. The mastery get's a mastery node and the community challanges a community node. You can look at a specific user's rewards by adding their username (NAME-XXXX) after a slash at the end of the URL.

TSW 2: https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/reports/tsw2/logs

TSW 2020: https://mastery.dovetailgames.com/reports/tsw/logs

If you try to fetch your entire logbook you are likely to end up with a 500 Server Error response, so use ?page=X&limit=X to only fetch a small part!

Train Sim World 2 and 2020 search for a json file named after this pattern [langauge]-[platform].json so for example en-stem.json on startup. This file contains URLs to image files which the client downloads and saves under C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\TS2Prototype\Saved\LoadingScreens.

Here's how these json-files look like:

{

"feed": [ "[IMAGE URL]", "[IMAGE URL]" ],

"start": [],

"store": []

}

Pretty simple if you ask me.

When using the dev options of [DovetailLive] your normal Dovetail Live account won't work as this is a seperate DTL network, creating an account works just fine though. Also when uploading railfan shots they will be inaccessible because the https://react.railsimdev.com/train-sim-world/profile website where they end up is password protected.

To manage an account created on the railsimdev DTL network use https://auth.railsimdev.com/auth/realms/dtl/account/.
