[32bpp] GETS - German Extrazoom Train Set (development)

[Argus]

When it is, an update will be released. It is useless to ask when, the author himself does not know in advance. He can promise something and then maybe get sick, or have too much at work, and so on. Moreover, working on such detailed graphics is very tedious. It can be in half a year or even in a year.

Mahlzeit, it's Lunchtime!

In other words: GETS has just received update to version 0.4 and this time we've included dining cars.

Dining cars will provide your OTTD-passengers with delicious food and trainbeers during their journey.
Your passengers will be more happy and care less for any delays.

How does it work?
Dining cars are much more expensive then their seating counterparts (~3,5 times the running cost, 2,5 times the purchase cost).
For this price, they will nullify the running cost of express coaches and extend the cargo aging by 25%.
Please note that this effect only works with Express coaches, so you won't be able to get a (working) dining car into your local trains.

What else is new?
We've done a few goods wagons as well as some locos. Most notably BR 112, the first co-production of DB and DR. Also in: BR 52, BR 152 and a few more.
Additionally, this update contains the famous "Schienenzeppelin" propeller train, a few more MU's and some more reskins.

Take the usual look for yourself and enjoy:

That's nice, but I don't see it on Bananas.

Yep, there are some issues with Bananas. Just filed an issue.

In the meantime you can get it via Github:

https://github.com/GarlicBread42/GETS/releases/tag/0.4

I'll post an update once i've got it up - sorry for the mess

[Garlic_Bread42]

Thanks to the wonderful dev-Team, the bug has been solved. You can now download newest version via your favourite fruit store.

GETS 0.5 is here!

After quite a long time, the latest release is available on Bananas and Github.

First of all: Running costs have changed somewhat, since there is a new, even cheaper parameter. This is to ensure you're not loosing money in extralong games.

We're very happy to have a new, very talented Voxel artist on board: Witold surprised everyone with a stunning version of PESA Sharks!
Alongside that, there are some more Multiple Units: a tilting Pendolino, privately operated diesel railcars, Siemes Desiro HC and some of the rebuilt ET 25/ET 55.
Finally BR 143 found it's way into the grf (Only DB-versions, though). A ton of Prussian Passenger Steamers have been added alongside the famous Lübeck-Büchener-Eisenbahn Bi-Levels.
Plus: A whole lot of coil carriers, both open and closed and some more stuff!

Great!!!
Thanks for your perfect work. I'm going to play

I wish you a nice day

Niiiice, a new release, just what I needed for a new game this weekend. And if you consider 4 months between releases "quite a long time", I'll happily take that.

The only criticism I have so far, based on previous versions: The cargo capacity of UIC-X cars, especially baggage cars seems too low compared to Hechtwagen, Karwendel and 1928/1930 stock. Their capacity makes sense when they get higher max speeds, but at 140 kph and with their length of 15/16 units over the 13/16 of the aforementioned cars, they seem pretty useless at first.

GETS 0.5.1 is now on Bananas - just a hotfix for a bug in the PESA-Link DMU's, nothing else.

GETS 0.6 will see an update on the post and baggage coaches, so i'd kinda ask for your patience on this one. Of course you're totally right with the capacities not matching anything. Also there are some models i'd like to do - let's see how far i can get.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for this great mod!

sorry for the doublepost: But since this is your first ever forums post: Thanks for the praise - Hope you have tons of fun

[Bedrock United]

Very nice update. I don't know what your plan is for further developing the mod. But if you don't know which train you want to add next, please add the BR 452 "Alstom RegioCitadis" with the livery of the Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund, that would be very kind of you.

-Livery: Mak 1200D Wanne-Herner Eisenbahn

Thank you very much for the update and as a fan of industrial railways I absolutely love the WHE variant of the MaK which will fit nicely with my favorite maps of the "Ruhrgebiet".

Any chance for variants in WLE colors ("Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn")???

[Code]

Thanks for your continued effort to bring us these lovely extrazoom trains, keep the good stuff coming!

A few issues:
- Graphical glitches with the DB V320/BR 232, the vehicle coupled after overlaps the rear driver's cabin. Maybe it's a hidden feature to create a multiple unit diesel behemoth, though.
- The mail capacity for 1960s coaches (UIC, Silberlinge, Umbauwagen) seems rather low in comparison to the Bauart 1928/1930.
- (semi-serious) vehicle request: Talking about MU behemoths, I need to have the Atomlok.

[tgregson]

As always a great update you've made a really fun set to play with.

A small bug in the new update, all the differnt lengths of the ICE 4 have the same running cost where as most multiple units with differernt lengths have differnt running costs for each one.

[Garlic_Bread42]

Thanks for all of your lovely feedback!

Concerning the bugs ICE 4 and V320 - thanks for reporting! Both are fixed right now, and will be in the next release.

The mail-capacity issue is a known one, too. I don't want to make a promise (i broke the last one), but someday there will be an update on all the mail stuff.

Concerning your vehicle-wishes: Many thanks for all your suggestions. We'll see which one we can do, and which one will need to wait for a moment. Although you don't always see it, we value your suggestions very much. Some will come sooner than later i guess
