Update to Engine Flippers

[glenjimen]

Hello Loco Community,

One of the recent updates ( v22.06 I think ) to the OpenLocomotion project has made the requirements for objectData files more restrictive, and some objects such as the Engine Flippers from CLW caused an error when loading a saved game. The Flippers had a max speed cap of 65535mph, which I reduced to 32767 mph (for Hexadecimal reasons). Also the cost was unacceptably low when used by the math loco uses to calculate inflation.

Here are the three Engine Flipper .dat's updated to work in open loco.

I've come across another vehicle with similar problems, the Construction Tool from the Dekosoft Packs. Updated file here:

also seems like TRAM2 has the same problem too

The TRAM2 object file I have has a top speed of 20mph, and a normal cost. You may have a different error, but not the same one I've described above.

i have look around a lot but have not found a flipper for narrow gauge. am i simple not looking in enough places, or is it simple they have not been made? Would sure like one for original Locomotion.

I could kiss you right now. I was running into this issue and even created an account on this forum and created a post, just for me to stumble upon your updated file. thank you so much. It was preventing me from running the provo clw pack and now I can. You are wonderful

@Valk : Thanks! I'm glad I could help!

@ Kuma Bear : That's a good idea. I haven't seen a narrow gauge engine flipper either, but it would not be difficult to make. Probably just swap trackst for trackng in the .dat file.
