Since there are no trains mods out there that satisfied my needs, I decided to write my own.
|
|
Until now are supported:
|
|
- tracks and switches, based on angles of 45 degrees
|
|
- wagons that drive on these rails and collide with nodes in the environment(they need 3x3x3 space)
|
|
- coupling /discoupling of wagons/trains
|
|
- trains can travel through unloaded map chunks
|
|
- head-up display for train speed and nice controls when sitting in locomotive
|
|
Planned features:
|
|
- locomotives need coal to drive (and water...)
|
|
- more types of trains and rails(electric, diesel, maglevs...)
|
|
- make switches controllable by mesecons
|
|
- better textures
|
|
- physics for train collisions (conservation of momentum)
|
|
- Automatic train control (ATC) via mesecons (only available on electric/subway trains, maybe allow for more features with digilines)
|
|
- an API, because API's are cool.
|
|
(I will probably split trains api and actual trains into two mods, to allow for extensions to be enabled individually)
|
|
|
|
At the moment, you can try around with the trains. There are some debug messages that shouldn't disturb you. Note that anything may change in future releases.
|
|
- Use the 'track' item to place tracks. In most cases it will adjust rails in the direction you need them.
|
|
- use the trackworker tool to rotate tracks(right-click) and to change normal rails into switches(left-click)
|
|
- to overcome heights you need the rails with the strange gravel texture in the background, place them and you will understand.
|
|
- right-click switches to change direction
|
|
- place locomotives or wagons by picking the item and placing it on a track.
|
|
- right-click a wagon or locomotive to sit onto it.
|
|
- inside a locomotive, use W/S to accelerate/decelerate the train. This will fail if the train can't move in the desired direction. Shift stops the train, aux1 (default E) or right-click on wagon will let you off.
|
|
- drive two trains together and they will connect by right-clicking that green icon that appears.
|
|
- punch the red couple icon between wagons to discouple them
