French stuff

[gauthier]

Thanks to Fefe and Rapha, Franch trains have been created for pak128 and many others are coming

These trains have been created :

Wow, nice

[gauthier]

In the French community we saw that there was a important lack of French trains
(but Haru who made the first livery of TGV )

[gauthier]

According to English and American people, for complete loader : which of these pictures is the best ?

[vilvoh]

It depends on what you want to express. Completed means more or less the same as Finished, but Released implies in addition that there's something available for downloading.

[koalaed]

if it corresponds the word "terminé" in the french version, "completed" is a better translation

[gauthier]

thanks, so completed will be used

[gauthier]

For ones who have downloaded z8100, z20500 and z22500, I have done a minor correction to them, files have ben replaced.
_ I removed retire dates
_ The z8100's payload has been increased by 25 per vehicle (+100 for an entire train) since I counted only sits 

[gauthier]

I made AGV, you can download it on this page
=> http://www.simutrans-france.fr.nf/doku.php?id=en:fefe

[gauthier]

AGV file is replaced, now corrected datas for passengers, power and weight, corrected pictures for diagonal views.

[gauthier]

z23000, MS61, z8100, z8800, z20500 and z22500 have been replaced by corrected versions : graphical corrections and decreased prices.

(I don't know if the website has well replaced files ...)

2042, SNFOS company

After the release of Rvg_tigress in 2038, transport companies are crazy on very high speed. The SNFOS company see here a good occasion to make profit and releases the experimental train named "Kernel".
speed : 425 km/h (a more than 400 speed limited track is needed)
composition : [front (motor)(passengers)][front car (motor)(passengers][car (passengers]...[rear car (motor)(passengers)][rear (motor)(passengers)]

download here : => http://www.simutrans-france.fr.nf/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=fr:bb26000-all.pak

graphical improving ideas are welcome ...

[aliesperet]

Are you also working on the Z 50000 'Francilien'? That's because i like the train in real life, and i'd like it if i could use it in simutrans! 
For those who don't know the train:

[gauthier]

Someone started working on it but he hasn't been seen for a while now so ... I'll probably make this one for you

[aliesperet]

OOH, THANK YOU! (is giving a digital hug to gauthier)

No, but serious! Thank you a lot, gauthier! 

[gauthier]

Lol, I haven't started it yet and I receive a hug 

[VS]

Now imagine having to give it back if you don't draw

[gauthier]

* drawing drawing drawing * 

I spent last evening to gather datas about this train, it's surely one of the most complex ones ...
In fact it has the particularity of having intercar bogies and engines dispatched along the train (as AGV).
There are two types of units :
_ 8 vehicles (5 engined bogies) : 2620 kw, 235 t, 905 passengers
_ 7 vehicles with the central one shortened (5 engined bogies) : 2620 kw as well, 210 t, 754 passengers

As I don't know the weight of each car and as it's very complex, I'm going to make it simpler in the game : so here are the vehicles I'm going to make :
_ front (524 kw, 37t, 109p, l = 9)
_ rear (same)
_ front car (524 kw, 36t, 109p, l = 7)
_ rear car (same)
_ engined car (524 kw, 35t, 109p, l = 7)
_ car (0 kw, 18t, 120p, l = 7)
_ short car (0 kw, 11t, 89p, l = [will depend on the graphics])

The constraints will be very simple for the game :
[front]+[front-car]+[engine car]or[car]or[short car]+...[as much as you want]+[rear car]+[rear]+possible multiple units

The short cars will be useful to adjust the train's length.

[gauthier]

This is what it will look like :

[Václav]

Gauthier, I beg your pardon - but your work is a bit useless - because in French board this train was created (but may it be that it was not finished). I remember it because I asked its author for some graphical details on it.

Its author was Wahou - and called posts begin here, in topic Matériel Francais.

[gauthier]

I know but this guy seems to have disappeared and his work is far from being complete, I didn't find any playable release, that's why I'm doing this one since you asked for it.

[Václav]

No, he appeared in forum today at half past five PM.

[gauthier]

oh haven't seen him 
So see with him for the z50000, I focus on MLM dev.2 now.

[Václav]

Too boxy - and too large. It should be done narrower. And by the way, take Wahou's model


as help - and only try to add only middle cars. It would be faster than painting all train.

PS: I am sorry for using my complaint-image - but I was lazy to search for untouched one.

[gauthier]

Too boxy - and too large. It should be done narrower. And by the way, take Wahou's model

I'm sorry but I don't paint as Wahou, I won't take his model. However I can make mine one or two pixels higher.

[gauthier]

z50000 is complete (my version, not Wahou's one sorry).

[Václav]

I know that it is often very difficult to make it - but sides would be a little bent.

[gauthier]

Usually I use color gradients to render bent sides, the problem is that I can't make gradients with windows.

[boselli]

the train is very well represented and the operation seems very good, the only small flaw is the color red is a bit soft compared to the photo, but it's a little problem! compliments

[gauthier]

Thanks

I directly took the red color from a photo, it looked very ... red when I used it, I think it has been softened by the surrounding white/gray.

[aliesperet]

Thank you very much for builing it, i like it!

[gauthier]

you're welcome

Hello

I've made a nice Eiffel Tower for Simutrans.

There is no illumination but i'm planning to make some.
Please advice or comment.

It's really beautiful, but the people on its basement are moving too fast. And the basement color/texture looks strange I think you should use a concrete look, it looks too dark. Some more trees too, or grass areas.
