NYCTA Support

[acelejalde]

Any questions or problems regarding any NYCTA content should go in this thread. We've been bogging down the NYCTA! Pics! thread and taking away the meaning of that thread, which is for screenshots only.

I thought that I found the errors in config.txt files for NYCTA IRT rollsigns but the rollsigns won't change in Driver module. They change in Surveyor module.

How do I apply these changes to the trains ? And does this mean I have to use the R12 and R10 Textures for all trains even if the train is a R160 and R142 ?

 

[jeffmorris]

I don't know why the rollsigns won't change on the NYCTA IRT subway cars.

 

[acelejalde]

Changes

How do I apply these changes to the trains ? And does this mean I have to use the R12 and R10 Textures for all trains even if the train is a R160 and R142 ?

You copy and paste the changes into the config file of the trains. Obviously you won't be using R10/12 textures for 142 and 160s. You have to change the name in the config file to what trains you're using. Plus, you'll have to look into the texture file to see how many textures are in the folder. If you see for the R12 textures, there are 15 textures. There will be more or less, depending what train you're using.

Underneath "textures", you'll have 0 to whatever number is of the last texture. The name in quotations should match whatever the name of each of the texture files, like above. Simply add/delete numbers depending on the number of textures in said traincar.

Underneath "destnames-44558", you will have to put whatever name the route is for the specific rollsign you're using.

I've just realized that this is a lot of work, so I will be kind enough to re-write all of the config files for all of Jeff's trains. So, Angel & everyone else, if you could wait for a few days for those config files, they'll be fixed.

@Jeff, you should compare your config file to those for Magicland's trains since they use the same properties. Perhaps there you will out what the problem is with the rollsigns.

-A :wave:

P.S. Slightly off topic, I've just finished watching the original "Taking of Pelham 123", and I will have to swallow my pride and say it is better than the 2009 remake. The jokes that Walter Matthau and Jerry Stiller crack in that movie are hilarious! (Hijacker: Give my regards to the desk operator. Stiller: You can do it yourself at the arraignment).

It really is a lot of work and I barely understood any of it Lol. I'll wait a few days for the updated config files...

Cool I will no where to come in future

 

[acelejalde]

Configs

It really is a lot of work and I barely understood any of it Lol. I'll wait a few days for the updated config files...

I'm assuming this problem persists on all of his train cars---so it might have to be more like a week or two before all of the configs are done. I'll start from the beginning (R1/9), and post one up every time I finish it, that way: a) you won't have to wait a long time for all of them at once and b) I won't have to do all of them at once and clutter the boards. They'll be in the similar "code" fashion that Jeff placed his in. To replace, simply open up the config file of the train car in question, and replace the original with what I have posted. I do not use Jeff's cars in 09/10, so I will download them and all their texture packages and test them out before I publish a config so that I'm not giving you guys non-working solutions, or more problems.

P.S. For aking4125, slightly off topic, but those books haven't gotten here yet! The diagrams from nycsubway.org are from before 76 (most), so at least my books will be "newer" in some respects.

 

[mity22]

I would like some NYC elevated platform lights are there any on the DLS?

 

[acelejalde]

I would like some NYC elevated platform lights are there any on the DLS?

That is a negative sir. Anything having to do with platforms would be part of a station itself, and as of now, there are no NYCTA el stations on the DLS. As stated numerous times before, none of the NYCTA content will be hosted on the DLS, so the other developers and I can have greater control over the distribution of our content. We will post mediafire links here until we get a website up and running.

 

[mity22]

ok thanks for that

 

[acelejalde]

No problem. If you need the lights badly for a route, then I can see what I can do as far as separating the mesh for my EL stations and taking the lights from it and making it a separate asset. These are the same lights that I use for my NYCTA subway stations.

 

[aking4125]

Good to hear ! Man where did you get these books ? And from what year they came from ?

 

[acelejalde]

I can't divulge my source unfortunately. I might host some scans when the books come however. Still debating that.

Hi again only if its not to much time for you dont go to any trouble thanks.

 

[George12p]

ace remember what you told me in the picture thread about your station pack?When ever i download it, it says to launch trainz when i do it comes up nothing but the railyard.It would be really helpful if you answered this question

 

[acelejalde]

You have to be more specific. It sounds like a problem with your Trainz game and not the station package.

 

[mity22]

I had a similar issue back when I had trs2004 6 years ago.

 

[Andres_Nunez]

Acelejalde i may be out of line here asking this but have you considered maybe modeling the conductors board found in the subway system, the one conductors use to see if all the doors are lined up with the platform? I know it might be overkill and not many people may use it but it would add a little more accuracy to your signals and signs package. I understand if you say no, because you have alot going on but its just something i wanted to just throw out there.
