[OTTD] NARS ADD-ON SET (3 OCT 2016 - r0042) Dev Thread (Help wanted!)

I think maglevs should be implemented in this set. Ever since they were removed from nars, it can seriously limit the gameplay of the set.

Yes but North America currently has no Maglev projects going on, nor have we had anything in the past that I can tell (at least not any TRUE Maglevs. I wouldn't count the Aerotrain for maglev use in OpenTTD even though the maglev track in OpenTTD looks like the track the Aerotrain used)

NARS and NARS ADD-ON SET pretty much only include stuff made and/or used in North America (Including Canada, USA, and Mexico)

If you want Maglevs, perhaps load up 2cc Trains with only Concept and North American vehicles enabled. Alternatively I could maybe make a Maglev/Concept vehicle only version of 2cc Trains (perhaps 2cc FUUUUUTURE!)

Really? Looks to me that the American Aerotrain used normal tracks. Well, at least this picture shows it to.


There was of course the French Aérotrain, which used track that look a bit similar to the OTTD Maglev track.

I remember there was some weird experiemental train that used air/hovercraft like technology...

Yeah, I just searched it up while typing this and turns out what I'm thinking was the French Aerotrain.

Either way, there aren't any Maglev projects I know of in any part of North America. If anything, I think a hyper loop train set might be a little more plausible for experimental trains.

Now that is something I would love to see!

So I've started working on the re-remake of NARS ADD-ON SET using 2cc Trains in NML code so that I can easily add new stuff, including Articulated, Long, Dual Headed, and animated locomotives.

I've put together a new data sheet as well so I can better keep track of stuff I already have sprites for so that I can work through things quickly and get something out sooner. Though I doubt I'll have the re-remake out before the long weekend as I wont be at my computer if I end up going to my grandmothers for the May long weekend this weekend.
