lost buses

[captainpugwash]

I am trying to use AJS traffic(long lines) as used in Robin Hood's "Nottingham trolley buses" but i cannot find out how to get the buses on the line.
I have down loaded Nottingham trolley buses and it is working fine, so i presume I have all the assets needed.

can anyone help me please?

I’m probably not the right one to say as I’m more into trains than buses or trams, but I think AJS traffic (long lines) is for the animated traffic, i.e.:- AI cars and lorries, only.
I think you need to lay down some invisible track to run the trolley buses.
But I could be wrong.

Correct, the ajs traffic roads are invisible roads that show only the lines for placing on a textured surface and only run the generated traffic. For buses to run you will need invisible track layed. Some roads have been made with track built into them for driveable traffic but these dont have the generated traffic as they are just tracks that look like road. You can use a combination of these, lay the road track and place the ajs road over the top to get both types of traffic.

:wave: hi thanks for the reply.
I have got the trolleys and buses running using the "trolley bus route 2M" and the buses using "bus route 1/2", no problem, but what i am after is the generated traffic for "AJS traffic(long lines)

The kind of vehicles on roads is specified in the config.txt file for the region kuid for the route. The rate of generation of vehicles is controlled by the carrate tag in the config.txt file for the road kuid.

The bus which appears as spawned traffic is a separate asset (different kuid) from the drivable buses. Make sure you have installed the correct item and then add it to the config of the region or the map.

thanks gents, i get the idea, but being a complete numpty i do not know how to get into the files(going into files i avoid like the plague because i don't know what i am doing). Is it possible one of you kind gentlemen could give me an idiots guide?
I presume i have the asset because "nottingham trolley buses" works ok.
How do i find out the Kuid number used in ntb's?

I opened CM2 and did a search for Nottingham. There are only 2 buses listed that are of the type Vehicle that are suitable for puting on the roads via the region kuid. These buses are:
Bus AlexRH Nottingham static,<kuid2:92263:9135:1>
Bus AlexRH Nottingham traffic,<kuid2:92263:9185:1>
To put the buses on the roads in your route:
Start CM2
Right click on the route and pick Edit in Explorer
Double click the config.txt file to open it in Notepad
Add these as new lines anywhere in the list:
car0 <kuid2:92263:9135:1>
car1 <kuid2:92263:9185:1>
Save and commit.
Try your route and you should see these 2 buses on your route's roads.
