CS_BusSet - part A updated 1st February 2022

Post by Greyfur »

Hi everyone.

CS_BusSet is a set containing a large selection of buses from Czech and Slovak producers, but also from some other brands that were in use in the Czecho-slovak region.

Three separate parts are planned for the set.
"A" part - released in version 0.7.6 on 1st February 2022 (download link download/file.php?id=220651)
"B1" part - released in version 0.7.2 on 18th April 2021
"B2" part - released in version 0.7.2 on 18th April 2021
"B3" part - released in version 0.7.2 on 18th April 2021
"C" part - pending release date

"A" part contains buses from 1907 till 1981 and it contains 51 types, subtypes and vehicle consists (bus & trailer).
"B1" part contains buses from 1962 till 1982 and it contains 15 new types with subtypes and extensive amounts of livery refits.
"B2" part contains buses from 1982 till 1991 and it contains 8 new types with subtypes and extensive amounts of livery refits.
"B3" part contains buses from 1991 till 2001 and it contains 34 new types with subtypes and extensive amounts of livery refits.

- The set is using CC1 and CC2. The best way to utilize the company colors based on the logics I used is to use CC1 for local lines (city transport) and CC2 for regional ones.
- The set supports realism. Each bus is bought in a realistic livery and you can refit it to available other realistic or CC colors by refitting the bus in your depot.

If you would like to read more, feel free to stop by at the development thread: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=87962&start=20
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
- I am a little behind with language translations so the A package is in English, Slovak, Czech and German, while B packages are only in English at this time, which I plan to expand to slovak and czech asap.
- please be aware that these are still in development and the balancing is a work in progress. Also the type-list is not yet final.
- if you find any issues, bugs or have any suggestions, etc, feel free to contact me or leave a reply.
- if you would like to join the development, or would like to use some graphics in your set, let me know :)

I hope you will enjoy the sets!

you can call me stupid, just tell me why need to cut apart your set? Is it related to grf specifications, otherwise just your personal own preference? Maybe you never have to reach a maximum available grf's in the game?
Anyway i woul like to thanks for your great job. Your set looks beautiful and works like its needed... by first try.
p.s. my english is so bad. i'm not a programmer but i love this game so many years

Hi uginbgood,

I am very happy you like my work.

The reason for the split is the limit of 1024 strings (texts) for a grf file. The vehicle names in the shop, but also when you refit a vehicle in the depot for a different graphics, there is a menu with the names of the refits, that you can choose from, the additional info in the buy menu, all are strings and each counts.

I wanted to keep subtype names while I wanted to avoid using each subtype as a separate type (like Ikarus set has), which would clog the buying menu. The only solution that came to my mind was adding the subtype name to the string and due to that, it blocks reusing of the strings. If I find a better way to do this, I will gladly do.

Current limit is 59 if I am not mistaken. I expect the whole bus set eating up to 5 files when complete. I also plan a 'lite' version once all is done, that will be subtype-less and therefore should fit into 1 file.

I have also seen a request to raise the max. of strings to 2048, which would help.

At the moment the numbers of strings are as follows:
A: 294 (with pending a lot of expansions)
B1: 906
B2: 943
B3: 732 (more types will be added later on)

There are still reserves for expansion of refits or adding new types, which I plan to use.

I hope that answers your question. Feel free to ask more if anything comes up :)
