MOD: Steam Train - v1.0

[Felgard 41]

This mod replaces the passenger train with a steam train.

I found the model for the locomotive and its carriages in the game files and simply modified the passenger train to use those instead.

Install instructions:

• Download the mod 

• Unpack the zip
• Place the "1_SteamTrain_game.package" file in "..\SimCity\SimCityData\"
• Place the "1_SteamTrain_script.package" file in "..\SimCity\SimCityUserData\Packages\"
• DANCE!!!

Conflicts: 

• Any mod that modifies the Passenger Train

 

 

 

Version 1.0: Initial Release

[ProcsKalone 294]

edit: clarifying my question: its the same parent from the mini train from the amusement DLC - does it still work for non DLC users?

[Felgard 41]

well i don't own the amusement park dlc.

all the files i used for this mod can be found in the default files so the dlc is not needed.

so far every dlc they have released i have files for i just cant use it.

I think this is so one can visit cities with dlc's one don't own

edit: i wanted to add a coal hopper to it but since i couldn't find one that fit or figure out how to make the fright train coal hoper not to clip with the carriage behind it i had to give up.

Oh awesome! I had the dlc and wasn't too sure but thats sweet as! Just wondering, did you try putting the prop you had used for  model positioning as an array (since the bogey uses 4o r so models, leave the others as 0,0,0 but offset just the hopper model) into the bogey prop and see if that would work for repositionining the hopper?

[Felgard 41]

yea i tried that actually theres four property id's i found that control the distances between each carriage (from its center)

0x0dbf68c8
0x0dbf68cb

playing around with them i succeeded in doing this.

to this i have also tried the as arrays

I've used those same properties to add wagons to the trams. Basically, there's a property for the first wagon (the engine) and one for all of the wagons behind it. I haven't tried using the 'wagon' property as an array yet, maybe that will evaluate the length/bogie position per wagon instead of all of them?

Thanks, this is great. Who could not love steam trains 

[Felgard 41]

well i have figured out what they mean

 

Property ID: 0x0dbf68af
Type: Float
Effect: Carriages unit length

 

Property ID: 0x0dbf68b4

Type: Float
Effect: Distance between Carriages unit bogie's

 

 

Property ID: 0x0dbf68c8

Type: Float
Effect: Main Unit length

 

Property ID: 0x0dbf68cb

Type: Float
Effect: Distance between Main Unit bogie's

 

i tried the wagon id's as an array did not work only made all of them stack into one another

 

the distance for the bogie's are measured from the center so 0 means the unit will have its wheels in the middle

A CHU CHU WOO WOO

So basically the train is already in the game but was unlocked with the DLC? I wonder what else remains in the files... perhaps a UFO?

actually i already found the UFO but it has only one LOD making it unsuitable for normal use
