I tried this one by can't build it, it always shows "Distance too short" when try to build it.

Thanks, fixed. Whoever had the same error, please re-download 3F version from my previous post.

Thanks!! Now it works without any issue in my side, cims can use them correctly and the metro line also works fine, and the station looks so cool!!

Now we have all three cases metro station working ,great!!

@R3V0 The station works fine and looks great! But for me it's way too large and wide... I'm a fan of rather functional and space saving infrastracture.

[andreharv 1,197]

It's big because it is going to accommodate one way stations on the sides...which are still in the worx

Igor, 

what @andreharv said. 

I also made smaller, 2x1 one way track version, it's 24 meters wide (half the width of what you have right now)

 

[agunter999 200]

for accurate underground systems we need the tracks to be separate as in one way singles to represent the separate tunnels and stations

Oh, will it be a cross-platform interchange station? If so, it would be awesome!

Ground station I've published will do just that. (Assuming I figure out ped path connections and how to snap modules next to each other like Bad Peanut's station)

hope it goes well

Thought I'd add in some more pics while waiting for the classic elevated tracks

So, get ready for some scaled down 4k footage (25% the original size as 37mb / pic would be way too much!)

 

And some unrelated bonus I took

[wasmic 111]

So I'm using this mod now and I've encountered a few problems when using the asset editor:

First, I'm unable to create any new variations of the basic m100 metro. I tried to create two alternate versions, one that was 2/3's as long and one that was 1/3 as long as the original, but all that happened was that all the original m100's disappeared from my game, and suddenly there were no metro vehicles in my game at all. I've done the same procedure many times before with trains and trams, but it didn't work with the metros for some reason.

Second, I can't find the ground-level and aboveground metro station track in the asset editor. I wanted to take a ground-level train station and convert it to a metro station, but that's pretty hard when it's not possible to select the station tracks. Metro station tunnels from the vanilla game are still available, of course.

[andreharv 1,197]

I didn't make the trains so I would have to ask @BloodyPenguin.  As far as the station tracks are concerned, that is is by design.  Just access the ground version (any version you can get in ModTools) and then use pgup and pgdn to get the flavor you want.  I don't have icons for them in the asset editor which is just from my procrastination but when I get the icon it will work that way too.

@andreharv
Is this still considered to be in Alpha?
I wonder if it have the potential to break save games. Or will it only break tunnels?
Or is it safe to run this version until final is released?

Thank you!

I ran it on 1000 mods and 100k city it worked without any problems.

That's great, but I'm still curious if is expected to be safe to migrate to the final mod from an alpha-savegame.

[andreharv 1,197]

I am not entirely sure but I am leaning toward yes, I will keep them compatible.  There was a change I wanted to make but it is not that important, at least not enough to temporarily break everything.  That being said until release, the program is still in Alpha.  Since there will be a crazy amount of new stuff to add to the release over the coming months, it may be an ongoing beta which basically means that there shouldn't be any sweeping game-breaking changes but there will be a lot of moving parts.  

Anyway, always back up your cities, especially if you want to use a city you like.

Can someone reply me with the mod so I can try it out? Ive tried the very early version but now I want to use it on my new city with assets.

P.S is there a multi stop station asset available for this? If there is can you leave the file or a link to it??

The current files can be downloaded from the link in page 7 in this thread.  There is no multi-platform asset yet, only a few ground level or elevated stations that are still in development.

In that case, I would recommend you vote for the above ground subway/metro.  Honestly, imho it makes more sense to fix metro rather than make rail into something it is typically not.  I did not mention this but once above ground metro is made, many of the existing models (metro vechicle, tracks, tube, etc) will have to be redone so it will look more appetizing.  Just speculating though.

Late comment is late, I did ask simply because I do not like metro for aesthetic/CJ reasons (you can't see the trains) so I use a lot of elevated rail to build my metro networks; not to mention many metro networks are overground as much as they are underground.

I would still love a proper enhancement to the actual metro options in the game though, including overground and maybe underground view, but I haven't been here for a while so idk how far you've progressed (or anyone). Though tbh I can always use other mods to force a train line to use a specific stock, then tweak the values for that specific stock to be more metro-like.

But hey late reply is late, I'll take a gander at the 17 extra pages of stuff that have been added since my last visit

Just a question. I have a station model ready to go but I can't seem to find the Metro Station Track in the asset editor. How do I track it down?

Modtools. Navigate to scene explorer then to metrooverhaul then to metro station track ground

Thanks!

 

Anyways I finished my station. It is based off of Rosedale Station here in Toronto; the difference being Rosedale is 2 floors since track level is in a trench, while this model is only 1 level. The trees in the back need to be moved over.

 

[Distanced 114]

@JSF-1 I love the fact that this is a Toronto station! File?

I need to move some of those trees around, and I would like to add some lighting for night time. Ill be sure to post it when its done! I also plan on doing some other of stations like Yorkdale.

[Distanced 114]

@JSF-1 Awesome! I wonder if it would be possible to create Davisville and Greenwood yard as a depot. That would be pretty cool!

[JSF-1 36]

It should be possible.The size would be an issue though. The Sub-Buildings enabler mod could probably fix that though.

[Distanced 114]

Yeah, I hope! I'll see if I can for the first time model something.  I don't think the yard itself can be made yet, though. We still don't have single/one way tracks.

[JSF-1 36]

Yea. I would start with Davisville since it is the smallest. Also I personally don't think the entire yard is needed, just the maintenance building. It would still require the mod. I would consider it but I am not to good with the Sub Buildings mod.

[Distanced 114]

Well, I have NO experience in modding! And yeah, I'm probably going to start with Davisville.

[Delta2k5 311]

Umm, I might give some try in creating some above-road station at some point as that is something really needed in my case. Imma have a look

Nice station @JSF-1!
