Additional Public Transit

I forget what I actually set them to, but it's absolutely less than the numbers you quoted - I'm almost certain it's not even above 300 per train.

I'm aiming for the cars to be in line with the stock MoM cars, which I believe I made to be 6 cars holding 50 people each, for exactly 300. It might be even lower, who knows.

So the R160 is probably going to have 50-60 passengers per car and the R142 is probably going to have 40-45 passengers per car. In the MoM cars, all metro trains have only 40-60 seats per car, and there is no room for standing passengers. To enable room for standing passengers, either Improved Public Transport or Advanced Vehicle Options (or sometimes both mods) has to be used, which can increase or reduce the MoM cars' capacity.

I have used Improved Public Transport to increase the capacity of the vanilla metro vehicles since I am using the Realistic Population and Consumption Mod. Is the MoM mod going to be compatible with both Improved Public Transport and Transport Lines Manager mods?

The design of the new extended length New York City Subway underground metro stations that are to be used with the MoM mod should have IND-styled interiors for the stations. Those stations should have colored bands on the white walls closest to the platforms colored in orange, green, blue, or violet.

As promised, a screenshot of a custom rail mesh. It's a simple test version made in 5 minutes. Default segment textures.

Comparison (left is vanilla)

[blackdragonbird 13]

Already looks much better than vanilla. =D

[andreharv 1,197]

Sorry dude...it's way too realistic and nice

[Strechnitz 12]

That ís looking very slick! Very realistic indeed.

[Distanced 114]

It looks better already!  I'd love if this were to come out soon! By the way, would it be possible to make switches more realistic? Currently they're just a jumble of rails stuck together, with one of them branching off.

[Acc3ssViolation 81]

That looks so much better!

[Tim The Terrible 586]

Thanks everyone!

Up next are the segment textures. But first... lemme take an exam in physics

Might be possible by making custom node meshes, but nodes are tricky since they stretch in every direction, depending on the angle of the intersection. Another way would be to automatically place certain props on intersections only (can be done with 'flags' I believe) with a mod.

Tim I cant begin to describe how incredible a simple transformation changed the image from game to beauty WOW

Is this an unusual time of year to have exams? A lot of classes at my school have two sets of midterms, I just had 5 exams this past week.

[j4lambert 22]

What is the current progress of the MoM mod?

Read the previous page. There was a status update just a few days ago.

[Delta2k5 311]

Yeah, exams are quiet common in NLs universities in november - I had them at my 1/2 semester in Maastricht too. So you got four times per year exams. Good luck Tim! Also nice work on those rails!

[j4lambert 22]

I am requesting that the following stations be modeled for use as metro stations for the MoM mod:

New York City Subway Elevated Side Platform Station (based off of a station on the IRT Pelham Line)

New York City Subway Elevated Island Platform Station (based off of a station on the BMT West End Line)

New York City Subway Underground Station (uses NYC Subway generic entrance, interior based on IND subway stations)

Washington Metro Underground Station

Washington Metro Elevated Station

Tokyo Metro Underground Station

[Distanced 114]

@j4lambert Ok, look. This isn't somewhere where you can just come on and request stuff; Mod/assets creators are already really busy with their own stuff. Try making some yourself.

[j4lambert 22]

I cannot do that yet.

I would prefer building my metro system elevated and underground than just underground.

We all were not able to do so at some point. You gotta try and fail, then try again - only this way you gonna learn how to do stuff done, not only modding games. You wrote 7 posts, 4 of them are simply requests. There are good tutorials on using Blender and importing models to C:S - In my opinion it's the easiest game to get that topic started.

I want those new rails!!! I want to ban vanilla rails from my game and replace with what you got there.

Ok so here is my last station for now until the one-way tracks are finished. This is station is based off of Victoria Park Station here in Toronto.  I had to modify the design a little since the real station is half elevated and half ground level. If anyone is interested in using this station or the other two I created just let me know and I can upload a link to the files.

 

Also I have made many Metro rolling stocks available for use including:

TTC (Toronto Transit Commission):

• T1 (4 Car and 6 Car)
• TR (4 Car and 6 Car)
• G1 (6 Car)

Tokyo Metro

• 01 Series
• 03 Series
• 05/N05 Series
• 08 Series
• 7000 Series
• 8000 Series
• 15000 Series
• 50000 Series

If you're interested in any of these just let me know and I can post the files on Dropbox or something.

@JSF-1  The metro station looks good and suitable for the suburbs in my city. Could you release it? Been looking for something like this for a while

[wasmic 111]

I'd love to use both your metro stock and the station, they look amazing.

[Distanced 114]

@JSF-1 I'd love to use the stations and all the TTC rolling stock! A link would be awesome!

[Igorp133 28]

Sooo, Train & Train Station Converter released. Does it mean that MOM is going to be released soon?

[countkrzysztof 160]

@JSF-1 I would love to give all of these a shot. I've been working on a city that makes extensive use of MOM, and these would be great addition, especially the elevated stations. Thanks for all your hard work!

[JSF-1 36]

If you are interested in the Stations and Rolling Stock I have made, you can find the assets here (hopefully): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f8c56iojdrzjh3a/AACrNliXEVWZWcXODKj1TPIVa?dl=0

 

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

Thought I would share my Depot/Shop, home for those special metro trains Really looking forward to this!

[Distanced 114]

@Mr_Maison Oh, I love it! It looks so cozy! :3 I was really waiting for something like this to add to my metro yard! 

[Distanced 114]

So I've been using Metro Overhaul for a while now, and honestly - everything works perfectly! (aside from a few minor issues.) These minor issues are just above-ground lines not appearing, default "depot" set to station, and there are no station cross-overs. I've also used it with the train/train station converter today, and that's going great!
