Ships

[Craig72]

Hi all.

Are there any interactive ships that I can use on TS2010?

I have found some on the DLS, but I don't think they can load/unload cargo like a train can.

Thanks for any help.

Yes there are some around, ships and ferries. They are not listed as ships/objects though but as locomotives because they are train cars that run on rails and have a driver, pretty much like the helicopters, planes and ski lifts that all carry passengers or what ever cargo you like. Can't think what any are called right now but the right kind of search on the black pages will get you some. :wave:
Oh and make sure you tick all the versions to search for too.

Ian (Vulcan) made some ships like those you seek, search under his username.

Hi Euphod & Deano.

Thanks for the replies. I shall have a look on the DLS and Ian's site for some ships.

Hi Craig,

The early container ships are not interactive, the oil tankers are, and the barges and ferries as transfer tables or individual traincars will load other rolling stock. Hope you find something useful.

Hi Ian.

I've DL the oil tanker Global Oil and I will also get some of your planes. The Concorde looks cool.

Just run the ship on my test track, awesome horn. And great graphics. Concorde next.

I need a container ship that works in TS12. The one made by Ian works up to 09. Anybody knows how to do this? I used PM2IM on it but still no show.

Anything that moves in Trainz can carry cargo you just need to add a product queue to the config.txt file.

Hi Llebrez,

If you mean the Container Ship,<kuid:60238:9023>, it is a very old model. In TS12 you will get an error "navlight.tga failed to load". Apparently that file had been saved as a compressed tga file. When Paint Shop Pro is first installed, all tga files are saved as compressed which Trainz does not like. This must have slipped through and error checking in earlier versions of Trainz did not indiciate a problem.

Open the model and load the file into PSP or Photoshop etc and save the file again, make sure it is uncompressed. On commitiing the model the error will be gone and the ship can be used in TS12.
