[WIP] BR Station Pack

Post by Grudz »

After a couple of ours playing with PaintShop Pro G-Tank-G and myself have been exploring the possibility of UK style platforms, based on that brilliant German pack. We're only just playing around with it at the moment, but some feedback and assistance with some of the station buildings would be appreciated.

I'm not a loco player but one thing I would say is that is difficult to tell the difference between vertecal surfaces and horizontal surfaces, especially "behind the yellow line" on the island platform in particular. Otherwise it looks good!

Well spotted, I thought something didn't look quite right but couldn't figure out what.

That GNER thing should have a makeover...

I was thinking; isnt it possible to make station acting like for example industries, so you have a basic platform and then when you want to have a big building or something you could "fund" it, maybe its even possible to add a new menu.

So, you mean, for example, one of the farms silos ontop of a platform?

because that is possible, on 'RobinH's great additions pack', it has a silo as a platform. However RobinH coded that as a signal, but it looks like a platform. So really this pack, and RobinH's, are for visual purposes. however some of the platform Robin drew, and the platforms i drew, are coded as stations. so it will expand your station area. good eh? ;)

The platform edges are a track piece add-on. Which means it's not built as a station, it just looks like it. And from RobinH's pack, theres a station with an almost invisible sprite, so it would appear that the train stops at the platform edge track add-on, but the game is coded that it is really stopping at the invisible station,

For the seperate menu is possible, because (again) on RobinH's pack, the station add-ons are build on a seperate, and almost invisible track.

Quite complicated I know, so my hint is, if you didn't understand any bit of what i said, try out his pack and see for yourself... or wait until me and grudz release this one ;)

No i mean that you could build a station, just the way you place for example the lighthouse. Its doesnt do anything with your cachment area, its only cosmetic.

Difficult to explain.

I dont use that pack because i dont like it.

Well, you make the station on the old fasion way, but you are putting the station buildings/roofs just like the tree/lighthouse and stuff.

Well, the tree way was an example, but i think you now understand it :P, if i am correct you will get 200+ possibility`s for making stations, and if you make your station as "building" blocks, the variation would be endless.
