Train Mods

What if someone were to write a program that would switch in and out different sets of engine's and cars....like a play list, every 10 minutes, a different group of plugins would be installed. One set could be a TGV, one set could be an Acela train, another could be an amtrak, and another could be the GO transit train. Perhaps someone on the modd squad would know how to do this.

i think oppie at SCC is making a similar program, you can select which train mods you want through the program  without messing about with the plugins folder, is that sort of what you mean?

Could you please include a read me file in you train mod? And maybe pictures of the sets? I've just discovered your train sets and downloaded the mod, but I'm really confused as to how to use them. Do I have to choose just one set? Are they both passenger and freight trains? Sorry to have to ask this, I believe that all answers are to be found in this thread and I tried to browse through the info, but couldn't find the answers I needed - there are over 1400 posts here... A read me-file in the train mod would be great or if anyone reading this would like to enlighten me? Thanks.

Some of these logos may be repeats of past requests by others or of existing creations of yours, but here's some inspiration. The pics (derived from websites) are in the attatched file just cause attatching a file was faster. And I plan to download all of these cars when I get the time to do so.

No, I don't think Oppie's program was what I was thinking of, although that would not be bad. I was thinking of a program that would automatically cycle through train sets as the game ran so that different varieties of these train sets could be used. A train set would be composed of the plugins for any number of engines and their matching cars. For example, an Amtrack set may have 3 amtrak engines and a dozen amtrak cars, and a TGV set would have an engine or 2 and sevral different orange cars. These train sets would be loaded into the plugins directory simply by moving certain files in and out of it. This program would create the illusion that only one type of train was being used at a time.

but then again, if Oppie's mod had an option to select random train set im sure it would be the same

All of my train mods have an ID number in their names. Just don't have two with the same number. Only use one original of each type as well. As in only one original boxcar set, one original caboose, one original freight engine, etc. My passenger sets were made to only use one at a time. I'd sugest using BigRedFish's instead though.

Edit:

Thanks for the logos.

I didn't know I was missing.

 

A birthday and trying to figure out Windows XP has kept me away. I should get back to trains in a week or so.

 

Some one should call the FBI and let them know I've been found.

I'm looking forward to you getting back to making trains. I've really missed them.

 

I'm calling the FBI as I type.

I'll try to work with subways some time soon.

 

I put off the Long Island Railroad for now due to lack of material.

 

Here's the River Haven Engine pack. Six freight and two passenger engines.

Replacement for original freight.

Replacement for original steam.

Replacement for original passenger.

+ five with their own IDs.

quote>

Which IDs are the passenger trains!? They're messing up another mod I've downloaded!

 

-EDIT-nevermind. I figured my problem out by opening the damn Reader and finding the passenger train engine in the Vehicules exemplar. PLEEEEASE INCLUDE READMES WITH SETS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO REPLACE IN-GAME ENGINES! The passenger engine's ID is 10A900. The ones in that set are 10A900 and 10A910. Both replace the passenger engines.

Unless I missed something all engines/cars that are ment to replace the originals will have the word original in the name. The only exception should be the passenger car sets. Going that far back, I didn't always stick to this rule. All of the mods in the Train Mod on the Mods page have been correctly named.

It looks like my vacation is going to be extended. I've had system problems for the past few weeks. Now my system monitor is dead. I wont be able to do anything until I can repair or replace the monitor.

[Jarmst4571 0]

Sorry to hear about the problems that your having, hope everything turns out ok. Take as long as you need for your vacation, you have more than earned it. Good luck.

[dev 47]

What page are the SimTropolis member trains on?

 

By the way:

 

MY 300th POST!!!!!

[LBraden 14]

All the train modds are within this topic, also if you know what day SC4RH came out, then any modds after that are UDI, but that is only for the Engines, the carriages are OK

[kassarc16 4]

Sorry to hear about your computer probs too, I just had my own round of it at was out for two months, basically. Can't wait till you get back.

[chasemiles0 10]

I just love the trains trolca! They are becoming better everytime i view them!

[Trolca 15]

I haven't been able to replace my monitor yet. I just wanted everyone to know I haven't given up.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

[kassarc16 4]

Glad to hear you're still with us!! Can't wait till you get back.

Isn't that what he had been making the whole time? Even the the fake roads look and sound like they could be real.

Anyway, good to hear from you Trolca, hope you get back in the swing of things ASAP. It's kinda borring around here with you and your constant updates.

[addax61024 6]

I was doing a google image search for Nuremburg and it came up with this, and I thought it too good a paint scheme not to share... To my knowledge this is real and not a photoshop job... (Would it be difficult to make a Simcity engine in this scheme...not that I particularly desire one, I'm just curious)



Anyways, I hope you get all your comp problems sorted out soon Trolca...I think this must be the first time in this thread's history that it's been on the 3rd page of the Mod-Open Discussion forum

Hey Trolca I think what koala was trying to post was this:


Or it could be something like this
I hope this helps
PS: I tried to post this a while back and it failed due to errors.
PS Again:Good luck and have fun.

[MC6Ash 4]

so Trolca, how's the computer going?

[woelfwynde 20]

I'd like to know too. How's it going?

[Trolca 15]

I'm up and running now with a new monitor at last. I hope to start posting new and updated work in a few weeks.

[Swamper77 90]

Glad to see you back Trolca! I can't wait to see what you have to release in the near future.....

Thank God, been running low on serious discussion to read. Hope to seen you back in action soon, thought you had gone MIA for a while.

Getting back to modeling trains is taking longer than I thought. I
