CS Bus set (buses and coaches from czech and slovak area)

[Greyfur]

Oasa 901 HD12 was the first post socialistic high-deck luxury coach designed 1990 by a bus repair workshop and produced 1990-1994. It was built on the wheelbase of Karosa with Liaz ML640 engine.

Finished the livery refits for this one today.

Just a update, if all goes well, the B part containing buses and coaches from 70s till 2000 will be released this month. I don't have a precise date yet, but am getting close.

I am actually curious about your B part!

Not sleeping.

Here a status update.

B-part:
local buses set is fully drawn, fully coded, currently pending balancing and will be ready to be released
regional buses set is pending refits drawn for Karosa C935 (almost finished) and C943 + drawing of Ikarus 553 and 543 with a couple refits
long distance buses set is pending drawing of Robur 2500LO and Renault FR1/Iliade (almost done), then refits for Karosa HD12 (in progress), refits for Karosa LC936 and completion for refits of the Karosa GT11 coach (in progress).

As an example of newly done graphics, this time I am posting some low-capacity vehicles:

super!

So I finished the Robur, Ikarus 553 and 543 drawings with refits, done all the refits for C935 an for C943 and even added the Skoda-Lahti 402 Cz-C, so I consider the regional buses graphically done and will proceed to coding of the regional buses file. I didn't do much for the long-distance set, finished the FR1 drawing and did one refit for it, but it needs much more love still. Iliade has the base from FR1 (after all it's just a facelift of the FR1), yet I still need to complete details. I will also need to compare all the high decks to see if any need fixing compared to others height-wise (note for myself: Next time do that prior to doing refits).

I also had fixed the Ikarus 280.08, 280.10 and 280.87 buses, as they were thinner then my other buses both in roofs and front/back + had different shading, which made them look much smaller. The result isn't perfect (due to the fact they are 16,5m long compared to modern 18m long buses and their dark livery they will always look smaller), but it is better.

I also dug some more into the low capacity buses/coaches during socialism. All of them (Robur, Ikarus 553, 543 and Chavdar) were mostly used as charters and for long distance routes for various non-transport companies, as their company coach for vacations of workers, or transport to various work related travels. Their use in public transport was minimal, yet it was documented. Despite intended for Long distance, I will redistribute them into regional, as that is where they were used in public transport.

And here some more sprites for you!

And from standard-sized ones, Karosa C935 and C935E (there was a back side facelift in C935E).

Censored is the easter egg - let's keepthat one secret for you to find in the game

Hello everyone.

Unfortunately I will have to postpone the release of the buses and coaches from sixties till 2000. I hit a few ugly mines in my code, which caused bugs and delays.

Still, there is progress.
Urban bus file is coded, fixed code issue, that caused random refits triggered by time, fixed code issue, that caused articulated buses to run through randomiser for each part separately, causing the bus to have each part with different livery, adjusted the S11 graphics per feedback. Ikarus 283 needs to be fixed (roof thickness, width of the fronts, etc), also power and capacities of articulated buses need to be fixed. Balancing still needs to be done, but for that I need all three files finished.
Suburban coach file is also coded. The above code issues still arent fully fixed with the articulated coaches. Mini buses need bounding boxes and road alignment corrected.
Long distance coaches are partially coded, the comparation of sizes of various high deck types was done and thankfully no rework is needed. Slovbus SB135 needs AC on roof added, Renault FR1 already has most refits done, work on refits for Karosa HD12, GT11 and LC936 has not progressed mostly due to the needed reworks on the code.
