Did you ever try looking at page 1?

Then why don´t you repaint trains when they´re serviced the first time after a livery change? Would be more "realistic" than having them repainted en route.

That's someing that can be coded?!

If it can, that would be nice for the US set too.

Indeed.
See the word at vehicle structure offset 12h. (Variable 92, access with type 85/86. 86 is probably safer; the reliability of var92 for non-engines seems questionable.)

That's a very good idea.
However, doing this would make all the "old" liveries disappear in, say, six months (i.e. the average servicing interval). But in reality, old liveries persist a bit more than that before being changed (and that's why we see engines with many different liveries on real rail networks).
Could it be coded that the livery would be changed, say, after the 6th time the engine gets serviced?

No. You could, however, use a couple rand-bits to have some engines repainted on their first service on or after 1/Jan/1950, 1/Jul/1950, 1/Jan/1951, or 1/Jul/1951, for example.

That would be very nice.
Alternatively, can it be coded so that the engine gets repainted on its first service after it turns X years old (if a new livery is available at that time)?

Sure: veh.currentage [C0] - (global.currentdate [00] - veh.lastservice [92]), and see if that number of days (age-at-last-service) is above the age threshold for repainting.

"Why don't you" is a bit rich seeing as v0.3.0 was intended mainly just to get some drawn trains out into TTD rather than anything vaguely playable.

Suprising as it may seem, some people prefer something playable (ie a range of trains covering the whole TTD period and a set of wagons - neither of which the "new" BR Set ever had)

I saw a regional railways/Provincial Sprinter the other day. Quite a rare sight.

BR Set, dead?
NOOOO!!!!

I am flabbergasted!

BobDendry · Post by **BobDendry** » 27 Apr 2006 08:07

DOn't have a cry, as soon as some artists come about who want to help this set, it'll be drawn.

Well, I don't know if ChrisCF's Wiki is still up, but that had the sprites for these trains, I think.

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 28 Apr 2006 00:57

We've tried to re-collect all the old sprites several times. If someone wanted to create a tracking table, I can put it up on my site. I would love to see the comprehensive BR set back to life. But, some of the projects that have gone on for years are having a hard time finishing the last hundred yards, so maybe restarting another classic project is a bad idea.

Post by **WWTBAM** » 28 Apr 2006 03:04

i think atleast a table would help, then just let people come and go finishing it until we can have a release.

Samwise · Post by **Samwise** » 28 Apr 2006 19:30

I could help if you like

I'm already busy with a SW1500 Train for the USSet (remember krtaylor?

). But I'm on holiday next week so I can start on may 8th 2006.

May I ask how this differs from Pikka's UKRS?

Tracking tables mean nothing to me if they show very little. Tell me comprehensively. What can we expect?

Is anything finished? Or is it starting again? The whole saga of the BR Set seems very much complicated.

Post by **WWTBAM** » 29 Apr 2006 01:16

there was stuff drawn, and the idea is, its not in cc, its in real liveries.

Post by **WWTBAM** » 18 Jun 2006 00:16

since DaveWorley put the new site up at the address you can ask him for dave and i started #BRset on Quakenet

OK, last time there was an attempt at resurrecting the BRSet, I went through one of the old threads and grabbed anything that looked like a sprite.

The results can be found here.
