Sun's Venezuelan Train Set
Development Thread
Latest release: N/A
Current version: 0.7.1
❝Sun's Venezuelan Train Set (SVTS) it's an NewGRF that adds 20+ engines which are currently in service or have been used in the past by several railways companies in Venezuela. Each of these locomotives are provided with the real life paint scheme. Most of the technical features such as power, weight, capacity, introduction dates and others are based on real life values, with some minor adjustments.❞
ABOUT THIS NEWGRF
While wandering in the forum, I always have seeing people trying to recreate pieces of their countries in this game. Whether buildings, vehicles or trains, they make an effort to put their own identity in his work.
For a long time, all I could do was see what they were doing. All that changed when, just a few weeks ago, I decided I will learn how to create NewGRFs. Following the Purno's drawing tutorial and the NML tutorial on the wiki, as well as checking pieces of codes of others and asking my doubts in this forum, I was able to create my first .grfs
And now, here I am. Using the knowledge I've adquired in these weeks, I'm trying to develop a entire set of trains that are in service or have been served in Venezuela since 1950. Best of all was not just to know how to create the add-ons for the game, but during my research I learned also a lot of things about the past and present of the locomotives and the railway system of my country
The Sun's Venezuelan Train Set (SVTS) aims to add 20+ locomotives owned by many venezuelan railways companies from 1950 to the present. Also, I have plans to add some maglevs and maybe monorails engines, based in RL prototypes created by venezuelan engineers, or maybe some fictional trains.
No .grf will be uploaded at the moment. I want to have a really "playable" version and make others adjustments before make it public. Please be patient
