Title: Britain P192C add-ons
Post by: Taurus on December 03, 2013, 10:47:28 PM
This here will be the official thread for the british addon set for the pak192.comic
Currently Flemmbrav and me are working on this project, if somebody wants to join they are more than welcome. Just contact me or Flemmbrav.
Why did we start it?
Pak192.comics home is continental Europe, but there are just some nice british trains.
The idea is to build a big addon with british stuff, for all simutrans players, who don't like to play only with the current objects,but with addons as well.

I removed the pictures and the downloadlinks as they are avaliable on our Website (http://britain.pak192.comic.simutrans.com/).

Currently we have 20 different vehicles:

Class 59 in DB Schenker livery
Class 92 in DB Schenker livery
Class 55 in British Rail Blue livery
Class 153 in First Great Western and in East Midland livery
Class 220 in Virgin Rail livery

The Electrostar Set with:
Class 357 in c2c white and blue livery.
Class 375 in Southeastern livery
Class 376 in Southeastern livery
Class 377 in First Capital Connect and in Southern Rail livery.
Class 378 in London Overground livery.
Class 379 in National Express East Coast livery.

Class 390 in Virgin Rail livery
IC 125 in First Great Western and in East Midland livery
Class 307 in British Rail livery
Class 312 in British Rail livery

2 Variants of the Mk 1 Coach
Mk2 C

A third rail electirfication


Constructive critic and error reports are welcome.

I don't see any. Using DropBox is not a good option, I have seen sdog's avatar very few times because it's hosted on Dropbox as well. I always get 404 from Dropbox.

Great, they look amazing, love the chosen liveries. You might use some for this month SMSC. ;)

Are they pixel made, 3D or vector?

We encourage people to use the forum attachment system to publish addons and development files since we make backups and file sharing services may break the links or delete the files for inactivity (screenshots and temp files can be hosted elsewhere though). It's a safer way to make sure the addon will be available for longer time.

With a max. size of 64 kb each and max. total size of 256 kb it is not enough to upload things like the first post.

Are you guys making any buses or trams?
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Flemmbrav on December 07, 2013, 06:47:54 PM
I don't know, let time come, let addons come ;)

but something like a red double-decker bus cannot be ruled out ;)

what about a third rail?

Class 375 in Southeastern livery and Class 92 in DB Schenker livery and Class 444 in East Midland livery do not show up in my game, where as the rest of your trains do show up. any ideas ?

are these working for anyone esle ?

Cheers.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on January 20, 2014, 07:10:06 PM
Juging by the fact that they are all electric, have you electrified the depot?
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Flemmbrav on January 20, 2014, 07:11:59 PM
well,
are you sure, that your depot have got an electrification? (overhead or third rail)
do you see the EMU tab?

EDIT: hmpf, Taurus was faster...
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: ZBOX on January 20, 2014, 07:43:24 PM
Thank you Flemmbrav and Taurus,

Im sorry, it was a mistake on my part, You are both correct, i did not install the electric rail, thank you i have it working all fine now, really great work, the trains look fantastic.

Cheers.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set

Well, small mistakes can have a huge impact  ;). Glad to help and happy that you enjoy the trains.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on January 23, 2014, 07:43:22 PM
Thanks to Flemmbrav we have quite a large update today. The complete Electroastar family has been added. Download is in the first post.

Excellent! I love them. Keep them coming, please. I have just taken my first tentative steps in trying to understand blender and when I am up to it I would be delighted to add to this. But it won't be in the next five minutes!
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Flemmbrav on February 04, 2014, 06:17:32 PM
thanks a lot!

all these vehicles are made with Gimp, you don't need to learn, how to work with blender ;)
If you need some templates or sources of some of them, tell me!
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on February 04, 2014, 07:57:29 PM
Nice to see that you like the vehicles. As Flemmbrav said, you can just contact us if you need templates or any other help.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on May 19, 2014, 08:57:39 PM
We are not dead, yet.
Here is the first of the Turbostar family: the London Midland Version of the Class 172.
On the picture you see the two possible formations, 2-car and 3-car. Download will be here for now, planning to redo the first post (getting a bit unstructurated and long).

Afraid not - that's why the 24h rule exists on bumping, though, because otherwise people wouldn't know there was something new. OTOH, IMHO, it's perfectly fine to have post after post from you in a context like that. :)
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on June 14, 2014, 10:32:54 PM
Thanks for the feedback. It was more the feeling of just posting for myself. Even if every post would have contained content I would have felt bad with a thread with 90 % my posts. Without download counters on Dropbox it is hard to know if anyone is acutally using them/took a look at them.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Isaac Eiland-Hall on June 15, 2014, 08:41:01 AM
Hmm... I suppose it doesn't help too much, but this thread has 1428 Views as of tonight...

Maybe another way to help might be for me to set you up with a subdomain on the server - there's stats in cPanel that can tell you how many times a file was downloaded. Wouldn't capture previous downloads, but would start with new ones... can't dropbox to the server, but can FTP... If you want, I'd be glad to set that up. Direct links are fine - don't have to make a webpage...

I haven't tried them because I'm currently playing pak64.german, but I can say they look really nice, at least. :)
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on June 15, 2014, 12:13:19 PM
Thank you for the suggestion, I will have to talk to Flemmbrav before we decide, but we probably will do it.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Flemmbrav on June 15, 2014, 01:22:16 PM
is there something which is speaking against that?

and i guess it would be quite interesting to see how many people are downloading that stuff

So, with a lot of help from Isaac, we managed to put together a Website. Click Here (http://britain.pak192.comic.simutrans.com/)
All of the things are avaliable for download there and it is much easier to do so now.

How about BR Class 37, BR Class 90, BR Class 180, BR Class 370, and BR Class 395?
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Taurus on June 21, 2014, 10:17:37 AM
The class 180 and 395 maybe in a more distant future, but I will see about the rest.
Title: Re: Britain Addon Set
Post by: Flemmbrav on June 22, 2014, 08:12:15 PM
@Taurus why do you think so?
@Birma... i guess it would by a good option to try it by your own
because i definitly won't make one of them next time
and taurus is busy with some others too.
- and you'll get some experience with different kinds of trains (you never made something with profile - don't you? ;) )

the new class 153 in FGW livery:

pak192.comic (the "german" one) is the base set.
This is an addon consisting of mostly trains to expand the base set, so it can not be played on it's own.
