Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
The SPV-2000 was used very few times, although you included it in the set. But all (or actually, most) MP70s operated on LIRR.NekoMaster wrote:Yes taht would be nice, and i just keep forgetting to get around to the MU's, but then again only a handful ever operated in the USA that I know of, most of them where EMU's in the North East region of the USA.Emperor Jake wrote:Here's a 2cc version of the MP70, thought you might want this seeng as the set is still lacking in early EMUs
Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
They'll have about the same tractive effort though, because (given the same production year) they share the same traction motors and almost always weighed roughly the same. This is also true of the EMD SD38/39/40/45 family and others.Notch8GEGaming wrote:You also gave the U36C and U30C the same tractive effort as well.
Caveat: This mainly applies for the same gear ratio, for different gear ratios the difference between maximum T.E. and continuous T.E. becomes important.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
Very true, however in this mod and the NARS mod they short it big time. They only gave it 80,300+ tractive effort when it actually is 91,500 to 92,500 for all of them.sim-al2 wrote:They'll have about the same tractive effort though, because (given the same production year) they share the same traction motors and almost always weighed roughly the same.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
What are you talking about? If I made a mistake with one of the engines let me know. If your going to argue about starting and continueous TE though I just go with what seems to be the norm and using Continuous Tractive Effort (some locomotives have very high starting TE which would make them very cheaty as they would accelerate instantly)Notch8GEGaming wrote:Very true, however in this mod and the NARS mod they short it big time.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
Just a quick thing I noticed. Later in the game, approaching the 2050s (getting bad even by the 2030s), reliability on most of your engines starts to take a dive. That may be something that could be fixed to maintain usability of the set for future play.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
I dont think theres much I can do about that, its part of the games code that all vehicles as they get old have worsening reliability. I could probably fix that by setting their moddle life really high but I'm drinking this weekend so... drunkCecil Cityscape wrote:Just a quick thing I noticed.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
NekoMaster, thank you very much for creating and maintaining this set! The only question I have--does it makes sense to suggest changing to running costs of some engines?

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
I really enjoy using this set but I wanted there to be variable running costs so it would better compete with NARS. I went ahead and grabbed the NML code and made a little Java program to batch automate adding the extra lines of code which implements variable running cost for each vehicle. It's hard coded to drop the running cost of an engine to 25% when it's stopped. Since it could be useful for converting other projects I'll attach the program I made along with the source code. You just put the program and its bat file in the directory of all your pnml vehicle files and run it. The updated files are then put into a new CONVERTED folder. Fair warning though: I specifically wrote this program for the pnml vehicle files present in this set which follow a predictable structure. It looks for the "// ITEM CODE" comment block and adds a few lines of code right after it, so if that isn't present the program wont work for you. Just look out for any errors in the command prompt. All that matters to me is that it did what I wanted it to do, but if anyone is interested I guess I could change it to be less strict.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
Thanks but I already figured out how to include Variable running costs while making a modified version of OpenGFX Trains to add more 32bpp trains (even if they're not realistic).TurbomanAlco wrote:I really enjoy using this set but I wanted there to be variable running costs so it would better compete with NARS.

Because I have so many vehicles in NARS Add-on Set 2cc, I'm just not in the mood or motivated to go and add variable running costs to possibly over 150 locomotives.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
You have been looking at 32 bpp trains? I've wondered about those for a long time. Think there will ever be a 32 bpp north american set?

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2203)
Probably not, I dont know how to 3d model things and I probably dont have the computer to do it. Besides, 32bpp takes too long for what its worth.SantaFe675 wrote:You have been looking at 32 bpp trains? I've wondered about those for a long time. Think there will ever be a 32 bpp north american set?
So yeah sorry, no 32bbp. NARS doesnt even have a 32bpp version so why would my addon be 32bit?

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2216) NOW WITH EMU'S!
2018-11-14 UPDATE
Sorry for the inactivity for months on end, just haven't really been in the mood to do any GRF stuff until recently (Having worked on my North American Track Set, created the North American Industry Set NAIS, and the USA 4K scenario)
I hope eveyrone enjoys this update, I'm aware there might be some bugs still, if anyone wants to remind me of them, just let me know or private message me.
With this version I finally got around to adding some MU trains so I hope you guys enjoy that, oh and theres also a nice ugly duckling of a cab-unit locomotive added too... a cab-unit trying to look and act like a hood unit before EMD brought of their GeeP's and SD units.

It's great to have EMU's now. And my current NARS game is about to end, so I could start a new one.

Good to hear that, I hope that having a couple EMU's and having fixed up the DMU's (for some reason the JetTrain was over riding the Workspoor RAM TEE).Lionic wrote:It's great to have EMU's now. And my current NARS game is about to end, so I could start a new one.
I hope to have more in the future, its just a matter of getting around to putting the graphics together.

NekoMaster, could you please make EMD SD70ACe not expiring? SD70 MAC from original NARS remains in purchase list until 2050, but it's upgrade is not.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2218) NOW WITH EMU'S!
Sorry, I didn't think to increase the model life of modern locomotives because I play with "Vehicles Never Expire" because it never made sense that you couldn't buy locomotives after a certain date, because IRL anyone with enough money could get a company (a 3rd party or their own) to build locomotives, or buy 2nd hand locomotives from other railroads or what ever.Lionic wrote:NekoMaster, could you please make EMD SD70ACe not expiring?

Either way, I'll try to remember to change that next time I update the set which should be soon.

Only complaint is that the speeds of the "Kawasaki M8 Railcar" and "Bombardier M7 Railcar" are lower than the much older "Budd M2 Cosmopolitan" when they should all be 100 mph.

Re: [OTTD] NARS Add-on Set 2CC (version -r2216) NOW WITH EMU'S!
They're commuter/metro trains, the BBD M7 Railcar is 3rd rail only and 100 mph or 163 km/h is a bit too fast for 3rd rail, while the M8 Railcar is dual power (so it can run on 3rd rail or overhead lines).m26pershing wrote:They are handy and serve a very useful role.NekoMaster wrote: With this version I finally got around to adding some MU trains so I hope you guys enjoy that

Nothing I can do about their speeds as thats their real max speeds.
