OpenGFX+ Trains development thread

[planetmaker]

One thing this NewGRF could use are a few more translations. The English language file can be downloaded here: http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/ogf ... efault.lng, existing translations reviewed on http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/ogf ... /show/lang

If you like to have this grf translated into your language please post the translation here, don't forget to mention the language; the text files must be UTF-8 encoded.

Also if you have other issues with these set, please say so here One thing mentioned already are cargo capacity, where do they need adjustment?

[Timmaexx]

I guess, the german translation is already implemented?!

Yes, the only two available languages currently are English and German.

[Bob_Mackenzie]

Allows to set compatibility. If you add this set to an existing game, and have
already bought train vehicles, don't disable any wagons, otherwise it's save and recommended to disable the unneeded wagons (default setting).

I'm sorry but I don't understand what this means

[planetmaker]

I obviously did a remarkably bad job explaining that, you're not alone. I updated the text above slightly.

This setting disables all default wagons. I don't recommend to do that should you add this newgrf to a running game. Default of this setting is to disable all default wagons.

[Lord Aro]

I think it should also be:
"...otherwise it's safe..."
Noun, not verb...

I believe the word you're looking for is adjective. (And save can be used as a noun anyway.)

planetmaker: I noticed you've included my name in the list of credits. This is quite unnecessary as all I did for the original OpenGFX trains was the initial offsets and I'm sure these have been adjusted by other people since then. In any case, I certainly didn't do any of the drawing.

Thats better

Assuming I understand this correctly may I recommend...

Add the following to the GRF description: This GRF removes all the default wagons. However this behaviour can be modified by a parameter


Then add the parameter description: Set to <insert number here> to allow this GRF to be used with the default wagons



Cheers

So, about the cargo capacity: Especially express cars should have a slightly higher capacity. For example, the default food wagon can carry 25 crates of food (=12 tons), while the default iron ore wagon can carry 30 tons.
Another thing that came to my mind: two generations of passenger and freight cars (one short, one long).That would balance train length and weight better in comparison with available engines, instead of just having the same average value for 100 years.

Oh - you're listed as one of the persons doing the drawing and coding for nearly every train vehicle in OpenGFX Yes, I messed with most offsets at some stage.

I'll look at the capacity, thanks.

Generations for the wagons are a planned feature indeed.

Sounds like a plan. Though this is a boolean parameter, no number to set, just yes or no (you should check out current nightlies ). Still it'll make sense as legacy for older versions - but those don't show the parameter descriptions.

Could I suggest some futuristic trains and monorail vehicles so that those railtypes don't immediately go obselete once monorail and then maglev become availble?

I guess it won't be the next addition, but definitely an option The overall time frame for the default engines is too small, it needs a few earlier as well as later ones.

I trust tenders for steam locomotives is also on a coming soon?

Yes, there'll be one or more. I'm still a bit undecided how exactly to use them, what effect they'll have as I don't want them as a hard requirement. Currently I'm working on getting one into the game which will add a bit extra power to the steam engines it works with.

Question planetmaker:

With "disable default wagons" i assume you disable them by setting the action0/climate parameter to 00? if so, i cant see a reason for this to be unsafe. Atleast with the enginepool turned on.
In the 2cc-set I have "disabled" (i.e. climate availability is 00) but this engine is always the 2nd (or 3rd for that matter) of an articulated engine with multiple parts. It be a tender or the 2nd part of the Iore. So, all in all, disableing by climate parameter should be safe as such (with enginepool, but do people NOT use enginepool?)

[planetmaker]

Yes, that's the way I disable wagons. But I assume that it will be unsafe when there are already wagons of that kind around (i.e. like disabling those wagons after you just bought a couple of trains) - like: never change newgrf on a running game Of course I assume enabled engine pool (who hasn't?). That actually gives me the idea: I should check for it

[Zephyris]

Can I suggest you add action0s for all default vehicles which should appear when using this set? Optionally removing some wagons could still be done via parameter... That way this grf could be loaded in parallel with any other trainset and still provide the default engines.

Yes, that makes sense. Added to the tracker.
