DACH Sets - Standard Gauge/Narrow Gauge : Development Thread

[SwissFan91]

This is, obviously, up to the coder, who is Yoshi or possibly Dwight? I would very much go for the suggestion from Snail, myself

Dwight


I think that is possible

[SwissFan91]

I have added 'Link', 'Picture' and 'Livery' columns to your data table. Is that all that is needed?

[Yoshi]

For now yes

Already finished? Then post it

[SwissFan91]

Oh blimey, nowhere near I'm struggling to find a lot of the specifications. I may need some help once I post it

[Yoshi]

OK, before I forget, I'm busy with IC2000

Valais (Coming late-2011)

2011 is over

not completely finished

Is there any need to split capacity into 1st class and 2nd class in the data sheet?

[Yoshi]

yes, please...
You can do it like I did it in my data sheet...

Use means:
city traffic, long-distance, fast slow, cargo, ...

Is there any need to split capacity into 1st class and 2nd class in the data sheet?

Yes, that would be nice as I want to make use of the cargo aging feature in the feature. Therefore it is necessary to distinguish between first class and economy... And thanks for your support

regarding the narrow gauge tracks... I think in the beginning it's ok to use those trains on the standard gauge until there is a nice track set for narrow gauge trains.

Are you guys coding this in NML?

If so, then you may want to use a custom railtype identifier as per the RT_SHINY_RAIL example here: http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Railtypetable. That way when making the switch to real NG you only have to do that in one place.

E.g. something like this:
railtypetable {
RAIL,
ELRL,
railtype_narrow_gauge: [RAIL]
}

and then later change that to for instance below and you're done
railtypetable {
RAIL,
ELRL,
railtype_narrow_gauge: [NGRL]
}

(NGRL is a fictional railtype label)

[SwissFan91]

I have sent the tracking table to Yoshi. It is only 60% finished in terms of the data in it, but I have 40-50 narrow gauge EMUs in there, with lots of liveries, so it should be ok for now. Would it be worth posting that link to the devzone (page 3) in the first post in this thread, so people can quickly see any progress, and look at the tracking table easier if they fancy drawing anything?

[Michi_cc]

(NGRL is a fictional railtype label)

According to http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/RailtypeLabels NGRL is provided by NuTracks, Narrow Gauge Track Types, and Japanese Track Set, so very much not fictional but the proper label for generic narrow gauge.

And if you change the NML code to "railtype_narrow_gauge: [NGRL, RAIL]" you even get the RAIL fallback for free in case no narrow gauge track set is loaded.

Heh, that was just a guess, but apparently a correct one

[Yoshi]

@Swissfan: I looked over the data sheet, it's a good list! Thanks!

what do you think of the IC 2000 ?

[SwissFan91]

I'll give you another version of the list later, when I've attempted the other columns and amended the capacities to have 1st/2nd classes.

[EDIT] The IC2000 looks good. Something on the roof looks a little strange though - it looks as though it has been chopped off? Possibly because you can see a row of white pixels in the / views.

[SwissFan91]

Tracking table has gone up, here.. http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/3414

Thanks

a small bug: Re460 can't be coupled to freight cars. While Re460 is now only used for passenger trains they were originally designed as universal loco and were used for freight too in the 90s.

The BLS had a slightly modified version the Re465 (Blue), which Is still universal and continues to operate freight trains.
