STGFX Trolleybus set !BETA!

[spajdy]

Hello, world!

It is time to release the first beta version for STGFX Trolleybus set for public testing. I spend today doing some last changes, but there is still space for improvement, but I need to know, what to improve.
Now picture.


Important information:
This set contains roads, if you play with roads from another NewGRF it is advised to switch our roads off, they are here so have full experience if you only want to try it. There is included Bus lane (for buses only) and a Public transit lane (for buses and trolleybuses). This will work only within STGFX vehicles. However, the label for Bus lane is "BUSO" and for the Public transit, the label is "PTRD", there will be the table of road labels someday when I will be feeling it is sorta finished.

Vehicle behavior
There is only one trolleybus with a backup diesel engine - Škoda 25Tr DG, this one can be operated on any road supposed for road vehicles. But it will be much more expensive as running is under overhead wires.
As vehicles age and there is newer type introduced the vehicle will get cheaper to buy, but running costs will go higher and the cargo age period will go down as well.

God bless you! Finally the trolls took control of my cities and citiziens can enjoy better air

(I'd like to add these videoshots as mp4, but it's not possible here. Or it is?)

They perfectly work with U&RaTT Roads. One time I was surprised when one trolleybus left electrified road. But I found out that it's hybrid with diesel

I have 2 remarks to this set. I can compare it with North Korean Trolleybuses.

- I would appreciate having electricity icon in purchase menu like this.

It's little difficult to find what is troll.

- What about adding these electric shocks?

[spajdy]

Hello there! Thanks, man! It looks great! I don't know about MP4 but I can share GIF on Discord, or you can if you like.

But I found out that it's hybrid with diesel

I was concerned that people will not read readme and they got all confused by this one. I am just glad I did put only one there though for now. (I actually like to build it everywhere, because it is so flexible.)
It has a bit of much long and confusing code at the moment, but it works, which is nice.

Eh, I would love to, but unfortunately, I am not able to draw electric bolts for some reason. I've tried many times, but I was never satisfied with the outcome. Best I can do is this:

CSI Icon

It is Contact shoe gliding on wires icons, so I hope it will be enough for now.

What about adding these electric shocks?

Whops. Okay, I've added effects to it.

I've compiled it to version B1.00.02 but I'll wait for few days - two or three, before releasing it, as there might be another issue that can be solved within few minutes of work.

Thank you for reporting these issues! You have a small insignificant plus.

So Greyfur drew me the electric bolt icon, so I'll change it to it. All thanks to Greyfur.

Thumbs up for all these goodies! Thank you!

[fridaemon]

Nice work from you and Greyfur

[fridaemon]

you can share gifs wherever you want. But I have to admin that I don't know Discord

[spajdy]

perfect, I achieved what I wanted.

Nice work from you and Greyfur

You reminded me what I forgot, that happens sometimes.
Please let me know if there is anything else, so it can be promptly fixed (if possible).

So Discord is a mystery for you. Okay.

Hello,

Included changes
Effects
Effects have been added to the vehicles. Sparks and diesel combustion engine smog to the hybrid Škoda 25Tr DG.

Glyphs
Glyphs have been updated, so they are more readable.
U&RaTT support
On some electrified roads Škoda 25Tr DG switched to the diesel engine, which had to be fixed!
Phone Mode
There is an issue with glyphs on Android devices, where instead of glyphs are symbols showed. As this looks messy in the purchase menu, I've added a new parameter setting = Phone Mode. By allowing this, all glyphs used in the purchase menu will be replaced by classic text.

And try pressing Alt+4 or Alt+6 in any text window in-game, if you are from Slovakia, you are for a treat.

Hello,
summer is gone, and I've time again to sit around PC and do some coding. You were patient, so I am releasing a little update for trolleybuses.

Version B1.00.03(small update)

iconVER2.png (20.02 KiB) Viewed 7552 times

Included changes
Sounds
Some of the vehicles were assigned a sound effects, so they are more realistic, than that thud sound that was primary in-game.
Vehicles
Very little of vehicles were added, but here is a list.
Škoda 26Tr and Škoda 26TrA
Škoda 27Tr
Škoda 30Tr
Škoda 31Tr
What was almost in this update but probably will be unlocked in patch B1.00.04
Škoda 30Tr DG - already drawn - code is incomplete.
SOR TNB 12 - already drawn - code is incomplete.

Displayes
There is now new parameter for displays of the vehicles. Please be noted, not every vehicle supports this, so it won't affect everything.
Vehicles with LCD displays can be set to have to Orange panels, Green panels or RGB panels in which, you can set colour of route by Company Colour.

In the end.
After agreeing with Greyfur at scale for trams, I've started apply it even here. So every new vehicle in this pack is actually in that new scale. However that means, Škoda 25Tr from before has now wrong scale and is shorter that any 18m vehicle. I wanted to update it now, but I'll be updating 25Tr and 24Tr when separately so there is lower chance of breaking your games.

Thank you.

[fridaemon]

very big THANK YOU can't wait to have these new pieces in my game

Hello,
