You will have to edit ur road and roadtram dats to make it available for the road. I would recommend digidampfan's station pack if you haven't already got it you can download it from amitrains site be warned though it does overrite ur trackst.dat

I'm not really fond of editing Trackst.DATs, but I'll make an attempt with these

I like it, tried it last night where i would have an old railway then decided to rebuild it so they didnt last long!

This looks sweet! I have some ideas for this.

This is cool. I made this abandoned branch line. Oh and before anyone asks I used the LocoTrainer on this game.

Hey now, that's pretty cool!

Yeah, on my other large routed games, i would wait till i have money to waste, then i would make huge yards of dormant trains. The trick to get chuncks of them together on the same line is to either putt temp signals to place them there, or remove peices of track for a second, then re-build it after i place both of them.

Wow, this is a really nice mod for those who like a more realistic style of gameplay!

Nice work Opan

I tried to record me building it in-game but I couldn't get Fraps, Camstudio or Hypercam to work so I settled with just a screenshot. I'll continue getting as much done as my free time permits, which may get more tricky with my exams looming in the coming weeks. Let me know what you think.

Hi Opan, this is great! BTW is there any more news on your mod with the rails and ties?

I'm working on it while I can. I've been studying for exams for the last couple weeks but after I will have about a week of free time that I hope to be able to work on it.

Thanks for the update, good luck in your exams and i will look forward to an update when it comes

Just my nickel's worth (inflation)... A missing point with disused tracks is sometimes they do connect with used track.. To do this for those interested requires editing both disused and trackst dat files making them compatable.

Noted, thanks. I'll be sure to make that update when I can get some more work done to it.

Hopefully along with the disused rails trackmod

How would i do that? My track is already compatible with the narrow gauge, tram track and all the roads and i don't want to mess aything up.

You need to edit the "compatible[array]" section of both of the .dat files.

If you mess up, it always keeps a .bak (backup) file under the same name (rename it with the .dat extension).

First BACKUP trackst disused1 dat files then read this topic http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=10314

once you have that read you need to edit as follows
<variable name="numcompat" size="1">8</variable> this is 1 more than the 7 mine showed .. Add 1 to the numver yours shows
then add this line to the xml file for trackst and any others.. notice the 7 it's merely adding 1 to whatever number you have
<useobject desc="compatible[7]" class="17">DISUSED1</useobject>

for the disused1 insert

<useobject desc="compatible[7]" class="17">TRACKST </useobject>

be sure to backup before you attempt and keep the backup somewhere safe

Backing them up is not necessary. Until the .xml is dropped on Locotool, the original file remains unaltered, and once the file has been changed, it creates a backup automatically.

I will try to modify the files and try them tomorrow.
