Durfsurn's attempts at Transit Modding

[Durfsurn 539]

I've been working on a lot. It converts rail traffic to GLR traffic. Not UDI at the moment. No pictures at the moment because I'm currently saving my files from a dying computer. I also have been in the early development stage of making a OWR-1 to MIS-1 piece. Would this be useful to you people?

To give an overview:

Rail2GLR:

• Lot
  
• Modding Aspects (Planning stage)
  
• Testing TESTERS NEEDED (Post below)
  

OWR-1 to MIS-1

• Lot
  
• Modding Aspects- Still in planning

I wouldn't recommend going forward with this plan since the NAM Team has a history of keeping things lot-free. Simply put, the functionality of lots are fundamentally different from that of a puzzle piece, and using lots as puzzle pieces can have unintended consequences.

Additionally, there's already a GLR to Rail converter.

Finally, the OWR-1 to MIS transition is only a matter of adding a few lines of RUL-2 code, far more stable than a lot-based transition. The texture for it is already buried somewhere in the NWM's DAT file.

And, I am sorry to say, but I discourage taking heavy rail on to GLR road beds or vice versa. Light rail tracks should not be able to handle a 15 ton diesel locomotive, and likewise the GLR rolling stock doesn't belong on heavy tracks. There is a considerable difference between a self-propelled regular rail car and a tram.
