set dualhead to 0
set cancouple to 1

now you should be able to have 2 or More Shefflex Railbuses, in one train.

This doesnt quite solve everything!
Firstly, I would like a sort of Cl20 set up. So you could have 2 railbuses, as 2 seperate objects with a tailload between and the graphic at one end would be reversed at the other. Next problem is that I would like it to be tow anything or everything. How do that? Lastly, how do I make the vehicles appear on the track properly?

I think the player can reverse the other Loco, i don't think you can make reversing mandatory..though i don't know much.

if you remove the compatible field, it can haul anything.
if you set even 1 single compatible field, it can only couple with itself.

and a hint:usually xofs and yofs values are half of images size, i.e if image if 80x80 it can be near 35-45 you should set for both.

Next problem, the images are near correct. I don't want to touch the code. But anyway, here is my railbus in the game (awww!), the seperated graphic and part of the code!

Code: Select all

	<sprite id="0" xofs="-17" yofs="-16">
		<bit name="hasdata">1</bit>
		<bit name="chunked">1</bit>
		<bit name="copy">0</bit>
		<pngfile>C:\\Program Files\\Atari\\Locomotion\\ObjData\\Shefflex\\000.png</pngfile>
	</sprite>

Is there another piece of code causing this "offset"?

set xofs to 15, show me a screenshot how much it shifts.

I got somewhere at last!

I had to change this:

Code: Select all

<sprite id="135" xofs="-17" yofs="-16">

to this:

Code: Select all

<sprite id="135" xofs="-17" yofs="-26">

No wonder why it hung so low!

Ok, next problem
I can use one car of my railbus and it comes fitted with 75hp! I have tried the railbus with a nice 60t load, works quite nifty but in the short space I have, it does not reach 60mph, which is its claimed top speed. Well, by the West Sussex Railway that is!

The only thing is, I cannot hook another railbus on, how do I add one or more railbuses to the set? E.g. a Shefflex+4 wheeled coach+4 wheeled coach+Shefflex. Currently, I can only use this formation: Shefflex+4 wheeled coach+4 wheeled coach

Try setting cancouple to 0 and tell me does it disallow coupling with wagons, or does it allow 2 shefflex buses to be in one train with wagons.

Now fully working. Post your shots here please.

All I need for the sounds, is the "gear changing" sounds, as with the 114, what do I need to add?

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 28 Nov 2004 13:25

I haven't meddled with the sounds, i think you should as Pikkabird..

And I think it is WAY too cheap and fast. Maybe a max speed of 60-70km/h and a price similar to the Vulcan bus would be more realistic. I don't think these vehicles went 96 km/h and wer SO cheap.

like I stated some time ago Chris Sawyer know of this website and may have visited once but not by his real name. I have talked to him when
he was at E3 the huge computer show in Los Angles back in 2002 when he was there talking about Rollercoaster TYcoon 3 . I agree with Wessex_Electric_nut what he draws belongs to him and if he choose to posted here for everyone to use that's fine by me. I like his work very much.

thanks
