This is what I'm working from.

This is where I am now.

I just look all 56 pages throught, and fell over this.
Hpe Trolca comes back to this project. I really like this to come alive, so we get more trains for the GLR.

[Andreas Roth 607]

Yeah, I'd love to see this wonderful train, too, but apart from that promo image, I've never heard anything about this project. Hopefully someone steps in to help with the 3D model, the rest isn't that hard, I guess.

[Fairlane500 8]

I just hope that this project gets more support and is much more practical than the real life one. Seattle wants to use it to reduce I-90 traffic, but wants to run it through an area where people use a different route into the city.

But anyways, looking good so far. Always good to have someone working on one form of rail transport or another.

Ive been making a EL train mod, it was originally a normal passanger train. I didnt make the model, i got it from a big pack of i think gizmos site.



how do i remove that gap inbetween trains or make it alot smaller without changing the model?

[vester_DK 477]

I think you need to edit the model to change remove the gap, which in fact is not there as there are some hugs between the cars.

Trolca referring to this posts about editing the model and reskinning:

Just from the top of my head I would say it post no 2 and 3 is the ones you need to read.

[KurtangleTN 10]

Ahh ok thanks alot.

Dear Trolca,

Would it be possible for you to model some of these 2-8-2 or 2-8-0 tank engines from GWR.  They have no seperate tender.  They would look great hauling coal truck or passenger trains. especialy in the country.  Further details are available here:             http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/m_in_280_4200.htm and here http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/m_in_282.htm

cheers Wol

[vester_DK 477]

Well It has 60 days since Trolca has been around Simtropolis. He has not responed on my post about the lightrail yet, and that is allmost 2 months ago. I hope he is coming back.

Oh Dear...

Does anyone else do steam engine mods?

Wol

[vester_DK 477]

Do you know how to use a photoeditor, you could do some skins yourself, if you can find a prober model to start out with.

In my post 8/24/2005 9:57:58 PM you find some links to guiding words how to do it.

If you runs into problem you are in company of goods friends, just post your problem and maybe the right persons sees it!!!


Maybe KurtangleTN could do it. He hasn't done steam engine mods yet. But he hasn't been around for 1 week. Post a request in Automata Modding Requests. (Automata = Cars, trains, boats, planes ect.)

BTW: Welcome to Simtropolis. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Dear Vester,

                    Thankyou for your suggestions.  I will try both.  I will see if I can get a copy of photoshop and will post a request in the appropriate forum

 

cheers

[vester_DK 477]

Well I use Photoshop myself, but GIMP should be almost as good and powerfull as Photoshop is. And it's free.

It would be a good thing if you can find a model and post a link along your request. Then I might like to do them.

[ColHut 0]

Dear Vester,

                By Model do you mean something like a Hornby train model or sets of plans or other?

 

I am a little confused here.

Wol

[vester_DK 477]

By model I mean a 3d-model (of an engine). The mods are a dat-file, which include one/two 3d-models and one/two skins (texture) and maybe some more sub-files.

Have a look throught this thread or others and see if there is a good steam egnine mod that just need a reskinning.

EDIT START:

The first 16 pages the links doesn't work.

EDIT END.

Maybe there are some at SimCityCentral.net. (You have to be registred to download).

How do I change a train skin that is currently used in passenger rail into el-rail/subway train skin?

Thanks

If it is not the default train, have a look in my post above.

You can extract the skin from the dat-file, but you can't change the train itself from one type to another.
I can be wrong, but I just haven't figur out how, if it's possible. I would love that.

How about a Transrapid Maglev Train Monorail Vehicles for the game's monorail?





Some for the Transrapid High Speed Maglev developed in Germany, Operating on Shanghai Pudong Airport Line:

*pic too large*

I know that fitting these on the game's monorail track might mean changing the bottom of these trains from their real life appearance, but they would still be cool.

Well Vester, I am starting work on a Colliery Lot, the train should run to and from.  How about you mod the existing steam engine and I make the Colliery!

[cammo2003 20]

hamsterTK: that first image is WAAAAAAYYYY too wide! Nice train, though.

Seeing as the thread's back up the list again, I guess I may as well post what I'm working on:

Seeing as this thread was up, I might as well post up what I'm currently working on.







Not a bad start, eh? If I ever manage to work out how to edit the models, It'll be sweet. As you can see, the bottom image looks dead on - that's because the side is flush on the real train. If I ever work out how to edit the models...

Do not have the time to search for a steam engine!!! Sorry you have to supplie/find that. I have a long list of request on Light Rail Trains.

hamsterTK: Please cut down the size of your first picture. It is way way way to big. The max size of pictures are 800x600. Bigger pictures screw up the design of the pages and make them harder to read.

Rules: The All-in-One Simtropolis Guide to Posting on Forum Etiquette:

15. Images are 800x600. To keep the threads loading fast, keep all images at or under 800x600 pixels.

ATTN: I think i have figured out how to get tenders to show up.

When i play SC4 the caboose always shows up at the end, so what's the differance btw the caboose and a boxcar.

When i use the Udrive it, the same cars show up all the time in the same order. does any of this make sense. i would like to see some large locos show up. i have design plans and everything.

 

if anyone knows where i could go to help accomplish this please tell me.

 

thanks.

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anybody could make any New Jersey locomotives. This website has a TON of pictures of them.

http://www.jefflubchanskycpa.com/njt.html

The GP40 ones could be reskins of existing freight locos. There's a lightrail vehicle, too.

[ColHut 0]

So do you know how to make the Caboose the second car instead of last?

Just would like to know if someone could make this into a train mod (See Attached File)? and is there a way to have the train mod increase in multiples of three (3, 6, 9) instead of indivdual carraiges (3,4,5,6,7,...)?

I like to be able to do that, but that is not posible.
You can only set a max or min number of cars besides the engine for all traintypes (sub, conv. ele).

Please learn How to: Editing and Adding Images to your Posts . In my signatur you can find links to images hosting servers, where you can store your pictures.

Well How to do limit it to three then?

[vester_DK 477]

In the NetworkAddonMod_Automata_Plugin_Standard.dat

Change the parameter called: Commute Train Length.
