Lester 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Cool pics! Looks great! I'm really interested to know how it all works: -will you be able to choose your wagons to put on the train? -If so, how would you do it? if its as simple as placing it in the editor, where abouts in the editor would you place it? -Will there be a steam train version? (for later releases) -Will it be laggy? -Will it be AI friendly? -Do i ask to many questions? Keep up the good work! - the engine have to be placed in the editor near a track and autopositioning itself by the trainscript, all connected wagons do the same. uncoupled wagons at mission start ... erm ... ive got to ask our scripter - A steam version is afaik very complicated to realise it with the actual OFP engine (especially the wheels) - in a 'normal' (what is normal ) use not too much, but surely depented from the computers equipment performance and the enviroments - yes, it will be (with some small limitations) AI friendly - not yet, but it decelerate my work speed PS: I hope that 'the engine will be finished in the next weeks' but i can't promise that. (depends on my job, my friends ...) One week is definately a to small time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odin -AEF-Kampa- 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Ok, im the modeller of the Engine. If got many problems last time with my PC (1st RAM, then died my HDD :/ ). Thats why the engine isnt rdy :/. I wanted to help Lester but  i couldnt do it he had enough to do with the other waggons. I hope that the new HDD will be there in the next days, so i can finish the Trainstation wich i began a few Weeks ago. btw. How is the Engine ? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CounterForce 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Complete release in the next 2 month possible including the island, or only the engine and waggons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lenin 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Lookin' good! Very good! I've got one question - will you release island-maker stuff like tracks, train traffic lights, etc. too? Or it'll be just on your island? Oh, and will there be a possibility of dammaging tracks and making train stop because of that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scousejedi 0 Posted June 26, 2004 I nearly bought Railroad Tycoon 3 last weekend... I think Ill wait now until someone makes and OFP version Looks great guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
--Scorpion-- 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Guys, i think its something the whole ofp community is waiting for that kind of addon for more than 2-3 years. I said it like a revolutionary addon Its sure itll be a good idea to release it before ur island is finished (if it took too much time) so itll let us(island maker) start working with it because you can be sure, lot island will be created with your train on it. P.S. I already few ideas for missions around this addon so if you need help for mission maker, just ask ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Looking real good guys,nice work. Yes we have wanted trains forever in OFP,I would have settled for a train that even went straight,but looks like your working on the whole shebang,sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sturmovik 0 Posted June 26, 2004 just imagine it yourin the rear lines in a battle CQ requests 155mm you put it on a train to deliver it next thing you know enemy aircraft start attacking the trains anti air mgs start firing and blow it out of the sky or youve been ordered to retreat your army of200 men or a train robbery possibilities are endless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kavoven 4 Posted June 27, 2004 I've got one question - will you release island-maker stuff like tracks, train traffic lights, etc. too?Or it'll be just on your island? Oh, and will there be a possibility of dammaging tracks and making train stop because of that? Yes, of course we will release it, but not know, because we have to be sure, that there won't be any changes with the tracks, we discussed that already intern, If we should release the tracks earlier, but we decided against that, sorry. Second think: No, we had the choice: Tracks that can be dammaged, or tracks that can be build on hills. Of course we chose the second one. But, don't care... just blow the engine up with a RPG... We're also thinking about a possibility for derailing, If you hit one of the wagons, or so ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironsight 1 Posted June 27, 2004 Will there be a train bridge and some overpasses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lester 0 Posted June 27, 2004 Will there be a train bridge and some overpasses?One overpass (like resistance streets is ready to use)Trainbridge the moment no, one bridgepart of one Bridgedesign makes a little trouble. (Funnily enough a other bridgedesign works perfect ?! with the AI) But we will finish minimum one of it as a AI useable trainbridge in our train addon. Unfortunately my system harddrive (SATA 120GB) gone by the wind yesterday at 4:00PM All OFP model/texture data is 100% ok, but i need to fix my system first, before i proceed with modelling ... (at the moment my system works with a old ('first help' image on a very old and lousy HD. Why does i have such 'hardware refusal to obey orders problems' only at weekend ? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOBOMAN 0 Posted June 27, 2004 nice now me and my hobo friends can ride the frieght trains in opf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unnamed_ 0 Posted June 29, 2004 Could the same system be used for AI Airport ground crew? Rather than a train coupling with a carriage it would be a tractor coupling with a plane for towing. If it could follow a path like the train follows it's track? It would be perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullz_eye_on_my_back 0 Posted June 29, 2004 ahh noooo not a delay!!!! ...j/k I just can't wait to see it released! We've all been waiting for this for avery very long time!!
