[WIP] Steam Tram

[griffinrails]

Hi everyone!
I've started to make my first ever proper mod for locomotion. This is a steam tram, inspired by ones from Sydney. It's going to use edited sprites, with the engine using ones from the CE2/2 Tram, and the trailer using ones from the BE4/4 tram.
I've edited a couple sprites for the trailer, and have edited the code for it a bit. Could anyone fix up the script for me? I don't want any kind of hornsounds for it.
Thanks in advance!
Here are the files:

I looked at your tram and improved it a bit. See attachement
However, after all these many years, I still haven't figured out how to deactivate the electrical overhead line. Therefore you need this.
I built a steam tram many years ago. (CH Dampftrambahn Bern 'SALEVE') You can find them on my website. An overhead line is also required there.

[griffinrails]

Thanks! I use your steam tram all the time! It's great IMO! I'll set to work doing some more sprites.

[griffinrails]

Ok, so the tram trailer is finished, and i've started work on the tram engine.

Houston, we have a problem

Was it working properly before? Looks like you need to convert it to the Locomotion palette.

Also, I have a minecart that runs on tram track and doesn't require electric wires. I can't send it as it's not mine, and I can't cross-reference it to see which variable determines trackmods on trams because my installation is from Steam and therefore not compatible with Locotool. If you still want to look into it, I would hunt for that file. I believe it came from the Megapack.

[Walter1940]

If I see that correctly, you have removed the pantograph and inserted a chimney !?
It's like Zakos wrote it. You have to edit the series of pictures with Wally so that the Loco pal is used.

Btw. Zakos:
Don't you know what file it is? I could use it well.

if you are referring to the p-man's version

[Zakos]

Yeah, it's that one.

[griffinrails]

Thanks guys, you all are lifesavers! I'll go through and edit them with Wally later.

[Walter1940]

Zakos thank you for the inspiration. It works. Now, after years, I can finally build a steam tram without an overhead line. (see picture)

griffinrails when you have finished the image editing, I will look over the xml again

[Zakos]

Did you find which variable controls the trackmods? I couldn't find it on the wiki.

[Walter1940]

Not in the wiki. I found the difference in the xml of the mining car. Simply compare them line by line.

Which file should I download to get the steam tram without the overhead wire?

Or has that not been made yet?

[Walter1940]

griffinrails tram is in progress and I'll update at sunday on my website.

[Zakos]

Not in the wiki. I found the difference in the xml of the mining car. Simply compare them line by line.

Which line of code? I can't compare because my game is a Steam download and doesn't work with Locotool.

Code: Select all

<object class="0x97" subclass="0x118281" name="MINELOCO"><chunk compression="1">
	<variable name="class" size="1">1</variable>
	<variable name="type" size="1">3</variable>
	<unknown name="field_4" size="1">1</unknown>
	<variable name="nummods" size="1">0</variable> --------------------> 1 to 0
	<variable name="costind" size="1">8</variable>
	<variable name="costfact" size="2">20</variable>

Code: Select all

		<bitmask name="flags" size="1">
			<bit name="hassprites">1</bit>
			<bit name="bit_3">1</bit>
			<bit name="bit_4">1</bit> ------------------------------> put in
			<bit name="reversed">0</bit>

Code: Select all

		<bit name="bit_0">1</bit>
		<bit name="bit_1">1</bit>
		<bit name="rackrail">0</bit>
		<bit name="bit_8">1</bit> -------------------------------> put in
		<bit name="anytrack">0</bit>

I don't know which of the three lines had the effect. I think all three. But now it works.

This concept is not new. It was an idea conceived way back when.

Ok, I'll wait for tomorrow then

I didn't know this post. Otherwise I would have built the tram correctly many years ago.
