Does anyone have a train that they want implemented into Locomotion? I'm bored out of my mind, and I want to make a train but I have no idea what to make

Suggest something for me to make please?

Pick a country not already done and do it? (Ok maybe a bit hard as most of them are already done / "claimed".)

I haven't had the best of luck with MU's, but I will make the C 550 when I get home. Thanks!

You developed some Talgo coaches (for Amtrak), If You like, You can develop a cab car for push-pull compositions:

The Talgo coaches are almost the same, with other colours.

The problem is that Locomotion doesn't work well with push-pull trains, They always flip at end of line.

Well, I tried my best to make the train, but I have never figured out how to make MU's.

If anyone wants to turn the sprites into a train, be my guest, but make sure to give credit.

Also, for those of you who want to see what it would look like if it wasn't an 8-bit isometric, here's a high-quality rendering for you.

You can solve that by using an 'engine flipper', I use them on my game but I don't have any idea where I found it. >_>

Sounds more like a coding error, as you have a certain bit, (cant remember wich one, currently not in reach of my tools.) wich can be set to 1, and voila it works.

Spacek531: send me the sprites or .s model with the textures and i will make it

. (its easy though;)

000 - 135 = first set of sprites (For example front cab)
136 - 272 = second set of sprites (passenger)
273 - 408 = Third set of sprites (passenger + panto)
408 - 544 = 4th set of sprites (Back cab) please note this one is not needed if exactly the same as the front cab! Makes the .dat a little bit smaller.

This is if your train has 4 different parts. A locomotion EMU can have a max of 4 in one .dat.

IA,
I don't know enough about Locomotion coding to know what you mean, but another thing I thought of is pretending as if it's a loco but with 0 power.

Illegal_Alien · **Posted:** Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:41 am

Nope you dont need to have it pretend as a locomotive, if you open VC on the right side you will see something like "will be in front if train reverses". It will make the code you need.

Spacek531 · **Posted:** Wed Jun 13, 2012 1:48 pm

@IA: there is a download of the sprites below the pictures of the sprites.

Plus you wouldn't want my model unless you have 3DS max.

How about Boeing 747 with Garuda Indonesia and AirAsia.com livery?

304 001 · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 4:32 pm

Just a random idea, and it would probably only serve as eye candy, but how about a BR nuclear flask waggon?

I don't know if you are accepting "requests" yet, but, you were asking for trains to be made. Do you want to model the whole train or you want to make company skins for already built ones too? Because I'm thinking about making a scenario for Locomotion, and I wanted to use the railroad company locomotives and wagons from my region, to look more realistic (But the map will not look realistic for sure >.<). Anyway, if you want to look forward on this, here's a site of the company already on their locomotives/wagons page http://www.mrs.com.br/ingles/interna.php?nomPagina=aempresa/locomotivas_e_vagoes.php&IdSecao=0. There aren't many photos of the actual locomotives, but there are the models and for what they are used for. The company skin can be easily found on google, so I can post some links or even the photos itself.

If you want to do it, I will appreciate it a lot. If you do not want to do it, no problem. I can build the scenario without the trains and use only the original ones. The scenario project will be going on when I have time.
Thanks for your attention.

You may consider making trains from maybe Southeast Asia or Africa if you just want to make something new :lol:

I've made some trains in North Korea and India already :mrgreen:
