Road Train with default Tanker double

[AnotherUSALocoMan]

Hey everyone who may be reading this, I am trying to work on how to convert the in game tanker(TTRUCK2.dat) truck and trailer (TTRAIL2.dat) from a 1truck&1trailer to a 1truck&2trailer setup.. Can anyone help me out please?

I think that's not possible. It's in the .exe regulated so that a truck can only have one trailer.

.exe regulated

It sucks if it is unless I can find a way of editing it in the next couple days "hint hint" but thanks Walter Nice to see you are still alive on the forums and I hope still playing LOCO!

You can do it with trams, though. There's actually a mod somewhere with buses and trucks adapted for tram track, and the tanker truck there can be as long as the user desires.

Also if you're gonna edit the .exe, tread lightly my friend.

@Zakos
The xml by tram, trucks, buses and trains is always the same. It is always there, "Compatible with". But there is a difference what kind of vehicle it is. This is exactly what regulates the .exe.

And finally...
You may have to find in the .exe the line where it is deposited.

If I remember correctly there was once a truck with three hangers on it from Coca-Cola...If you look at the xml-code there, you should be able to make that in the same fashion as the standard vehicles. I've also seen some roadtrains with trucks that have two (large) trailers behind it, but in that case the truck and first trailer where 'one' vehicle with a trailer being the 'second' vehicle...

I think that there are more possibilities with this...

@EDS
Of course you can create a road train. This is, however, not to change.
But AnotherUSALocoMan would have a normal truck with more than one trailer.
