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

[Greyfur]

Ok, I admit I may have gotten a bit carried away when creating the various Karosa LC735 liveries...



most blue and green are CC1 and CC2.

will be a long refit menu...

[perverted monkey]

! Don't worry! They will be put in good use.

[Argus]

With the number of buses, and the limits of openttd, will trucks work at all with this graphic?

[Eddi]

which limit are you talking about? you can have thousands of different busses and still have plenty of room for trucks

You did them justice! We aimed more for city buses and regional buses, so LC Karosas have a bit of a shortage of liveries. But that seems nice, very nice!

[Greyfur]

Ok, so here's an update. I have hit the maximum of string IDs with the 730 Karosa buses. I have been pondering, whether refrain from sub-types being displayed at each vehicles details or whether to solve it in a different way. For now I have decided to split the set into several files.

First one will contain all the front engine buses, which is up to the sixties with an overlap into the seventies.
That means everything up to Skoda 706RTO that you can see in the first post of this thread. I also plan to add Skoda 304 and 506, Ikarus 30, 55, 620 and 630, together with Jelcz 043E, 041 and 272 MEX. I will be also adding two various Saurer buses, a couple german ones (Mercedes, Bussing and Vomag) for an easter egg, Fiat 626 R NL and possibly one or two Fross-Bussing/Liberta types.

Second file will contain buses from the sixties till nineties. It will contain buses with engine in the middle under the floor like
Ikarus 280 (280.00, 280.08, 280.10, 280.12, 280.08M, 280.87)
Skoda ŠM11 (.1605, 1608, 1620, 1630)
ŠM16,5
ŠD11 Evropabus, .2032
ŠL11 (.1305, 1310)
ŠL11 Tourist (.1307, 1311) ŠD11 Tourist (.2040T)
ŠD11 (.2040)
C734 (.00, 03, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 40, 1340, 1345)
B731 (.00, 04, 20, 40, 1653, 1657)
LC735 (.00, 20, 40, 1011)
LC736 (.00, 02, 20, 21, 40, 41, 1014,, 1015, 1022, 1024)
B732 (.00, 20, 40, 1654, 1662) B832 (.1654, 1662)
C744 (.24, 20, 1902)
C735 (.1031),
B741 (undecided yet)
Oasa 901 HD12
Karosa HD11+HD12 + LC957

C935/Recreo
LC936
C943
B941
C954
B951/2
C955/Recreo

Iveco Crossway 10,7M, 12, 12,8M
10,7LE, 12LE, 12,8LE, 15LE (with LE both in city and regional versions)
Iveco Urbanway 10,6M 12M, 18M
Tedom 123Kronos and C12 (in both city and regional configurations)
Pre-OS PMC12, Troligabus (multiple types)
Slovbus SB235 Patria
Sor NS12 and NS18
Solaris Urbino 12 and 15

Hopefully I won't have to split it further. I have most of these drawn, those will be coded first, the non-drawn ones will be added in an update after the release.

I would also like to add some coaches like Irisbus Domino, Iveco Magelys, Scania Irizar, Setra 300, 400 and 500 series, Mercedes Intouro, Tourismo, MAN Lions city, as Karosa stopped developing and producing coaches after 2007 and production oh Sor LHs is really minimal. So there would be no options for long distances afterwards. Most of the market was taken over by the types mentioned above. I do not have any of these drawn yet.

Ok guys. The first part of the set containing buses and coaches from the years 1914-1976 is coded. There is still space for improvements (with refits, functionality and a handful of bus models that didn't make it into this version), but I aim to have the first part out on the next weekend the latest.

I have done some progress with the second part also, LC736 have refits ready to be coded. They were produced with various AC units. See bellow the various subtypes of LC736. And each has it's refits. Some are shared amongst all subtypes, some are unique or restrited only to a couple of subtypes:

...and there are also some easter eggs, which will be up to you to find

[Argus]

When will the GRF be?

[Greyfur]

When will the GRF be?

Hi Argus, the first part, containing buses from year 1914 till Jelcz buses delivered in the seventies will be released next week during the weekend.

Bus/coach type-wise it is a perfect fit for the Slovak Transportation Graphic Set (STGFX) from Špajdy, as it ends exactly where his buses begin.

an exact date for the next part is not yet known due to the amount of both art and coding work.

[Argus]

Thanks I look forward to

[Greyfur]

Aaaand I finished the Zliner ZL1 drawing, last of the 12 meter long high deck types produced in early nineties.

Here are all of them. I will still have to do the refit liveries though.


All of them will be included in Part II.

[Argus]

Any issues regarding the release?

[Greyfur]

Any issues regarding the release?

Nope, doing final touches, finishing slovak language translation, I still aim to get it released tonight.

[Argus]

By the way, it is a pity that after the end of tycoonez there is no Czech or Slovak forum.

[fridaemon]

yes, it is ... but there are so many czech and slovakian users (including me ) many of us are obsessed with this game

[spajdy]

Ola, I agree with you, I have a discord server for writing down news about my grf in slovak, and keeping archive versions of my GRF you are welcome to join.

Hit me with PM here.

[Greyfur]

Released! Part A in version 0.5.0 is out for you to try & enjoy.

Feedback is more than welcome.

Just a small update... TAM BUS was a Slovenian bus manufacturer, that produced licensed MAN buses. These were in service in several Czech and Slovak cties.

Articulated ones: Děčín (CZ), Bratislava (SK), Banská Bystrica (SK), Prešov (SK), Košice (SK)
Standard length: Teplice (CZ), Bratislava (SK)


(picture is enlarged 2x to allow better view)

Some of the buses were built in Bratislava from delivered parts, the plan was to build a factory in Bratislava, but the whole venture failed because of financial problems of the original producer in Slovenia.

[Greyfur]

Today I have a rarity for you.

A city bus by a slovak manufacturer Novoplan, type C12.

Only 8 pieces were produced.
