. And are you planning to add new types of roads in the trunk to test the rest of the users?

Thanks for your kind words, however it seems in my experience, that open source coding is usually 'taken' rather than given. Coding of any kind is very difficult for me - I only was able to slog through this because 1)what I was trying to do was relatively simple, 2)I had a clear, strong conception of what I wanted to see realized, and 3)I was lamenting the lack of any roadtype sets and wanted to encourage other authors. You might notice that docklands is not very feature rich or complex- there is no scheme for various speeds, construction costs, or upkeep costs - only visual decoration.SimYouLater wrote:I'd like to congratulate you on your first release of this set. Can I give you the remains of the BARRB project? I doubt it (BARRB) can be completed and I'd rather see you succeed where I failed with some input from me than leave BARRB to rot.

Horse drawn streetcars look funny under wires in 1800. Even if the lack of wires is strictly cosmetic - where one could use the wire-less tracks to run electric cars (Which was possible in real life. Some cities, such as Washington DC prohibited overhead wires, so electric streetcars picked up power through a slot in the middle of the track from a buried wire), it would be very welcomed for early starters like me.
At least for Docklands, you need to have a tram set loaded that uses non-electric trams for the non-electric tramways to show up (unspooled might be a bit different). Try using the NRT fork of Road Hog - I am not away of any other sets that provide steam trams / etc. so far.Railwaymodeler wrote:OK, I just found I had not updated to version 0.1.1 but even after doing so, I do not see the option for wireless streetcar tracks. Also, I cannot set parameters, that option is ghosted out. There's got to be something I am either doing wrong, or some prerequesite I do not have installed.
As far as I know, Zephyris has not been active since Roadtypes have been developed, so eGRVTS does not actually 'support' NRT. All of the trams in that set, whether steam or horse-drawn, would be functionally identical to the electric trams included, so there would be no differentiation in power supply by streetcar rail type. I considered forking eGRVTS myself to make a NRT version, but it is cc-by, not GPL, so I was wary of how the license would work. Furthermore, the set is quite complex for me to get my head around, so I figured best to wait until Zeph next has some free time. When I am able, I'd like to instead add some NRT specific vehicles to an OGFX+ RV fork or add-on.Railwaymodeler wrote:I downloaded unspooled and that works for me. Running unspooled along Docklands gives me exactly what I want.
I am using eGRVS which has horsecars and steam streetcars. I think it is a British set that has steam trams, but I am unsure of the name offhand. It has a few steam dummys that pull either one or two double deck cars, a few light industrial diesels, such as a Rapier loco, and a Hunslet Wagonmaster, as well as a loco that looks like a WWI trench locomotive. Plus a vertical boiler loco.
