I had downloaded 2.3, and it listed the cargoes that the cars could hold (ie. Grain and Plastic Pellets), but they don't on 2.4.

Edit: Checked again just a moment ago, they're showing up now. You must be magic!! Haha, thanks!

You have to have an industry that needs the items (IE. plastic, cars, etc.) placed in the scenerio you are building for them to show on the car stats.

By the way, the sscenerio in 2.4 was quite winnable. I made 50,000 cars with only 8 years to spare. i am sure if i started over, I would do better. i was betat testing 2.2 2.3 and 2.4 all in the same save game so i wasted the first 25 years beta testing production output.
I had a lot of fun playing it.

I wish You guys had US set 1.6 for the full experiance. soon... I guess you dont really need 1.6 in retro thought because most of 1.6 becomes obsolete by 1976. it just that is how i made the map... You guys can use the scenerio editor to load the "no mod" vesion and add whatever sets you want to it.

Where'd the 86ft boxcars come from? Are they in V1.6?

maybe i'll fix the autoparts factory to make scrap again and then have the auto plant need steel and auto parts. I just could no make enough steel without micro management. if i paused the steel train and waited for the auutoparts train to arive in version 2.3, I made a lot of cars. that was just to much work.. then again the game of lomo is to winnable. i have never gone bankrupt after the first 6 years or so...

Might be best to go with both options.... just rename the industries and make second dat file accordingly leaving player set up which. Just a thought

I'm not sure if this was posted since I didn't read the pages exept the first 1 but should there be 2 kinds of chem plants one for oil and another for making chemicals.

as when I read it it said it needs oil in order to make things

There is only one chemical plant. It makes Chemicals and Plastic from Oil (well it should be pertrolium by products?). When You think about it, It was sort of silly that the old chemical plant just made chemicals from nothing....

ok, I just looked at your sig and thought, "another new update?"...typo perhaps?

LOL.. oops... well yes and no... I am running 2.5 at home... so a typo but not... my bad.... but i need to patch this asap. i noticed lastnight that the 50ft boxcars in the automod need a fast patch. if you put food into them.. they turn off the track because it is looking for a 4th animation state for the food and i only have 3 states in them. empty, goods, food. then i shoved parts into them without fully testing them... i made those before i had the 60ft and larger boxes... ill just make dedicated autoparts cars and take the 50 footers out of the mod.

Plastikman · Post by **Plastikman** » 14 Jun 2007 20:09

Ok i am trying to fix this up again now that steamers are done. ..

can anyone tell me what

Autos
Auto Parts
Plastic
Scrap Metal

all are in German, French. spanish and italian?
bablefish is semi useless...

I am making cars heavier, worth more. plastic worth less again. i might lower the price of auto parts a touch and make them lighter.

Making more vehicals and fixing the bugged boxcars.

I'll try to fix the autoparts factory today and get this mod 100% finnished.

strongbow · Post by **strongbow** » 14 Jun 2007 20:31

German:

Autos = Autos
Auto Parts = Autoteile
Plastic = Plastik
Scrap Metal = Schrott

SQ / Walter, feel free to correct me.

Seelenquell · Post by **Seelenquell** » 15 Jun 2007 07:21

there´s no need to correct you, mate

Plastikman · Post by **Plastikman** » 15 Jun 2007 18:20

Ok, 2.5 is (mostly) done.

All it is waiting on is for me to make a few more Vehicals and add the extra languages..

I have a little bad news.. This version wont be upgradeable from the previous versions... well it is.. but it is not... umm.. there is a bug when you upgrade.

Snip from the read-me

Code: Select all

**********************
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
**********************

If You are upgrading from a previous Beta, (2.4a and earlier) Your old scenerios and old save games WILL NOT work as expected. Old save games WILL HAVE a bug where the auto parts factory will output insane amounts scrap metal for no reason at all. All old secenrarios WILL HAVE the same bug. To make Old Scenerios work right, You  have to load them in the scenerio editor, REMOVE ALL the AUTO PARTS PLANTS and replace them with NEW AUTO PARTS PLANTS (the same building). Silly, yes I know, it seems that once a building is placed on the map, the code is set to the scenario, NOT the building. Therefore The scenario will still use the old code.

Plastikman -

I was closely looking at your mod and I noticed that the Scrap Gondola is set to carry id 23.

<cargo num="0" capacity="30">
<cargotype id="22">0</cargotype>
<cargotype id="23">512</cargotype>
</cargo>

Error?
