Mod Idea: The Wild West

[PiMan]

I recommended notepad++ because it has tabbed files (like tabbed pages for browsers) and has a feature to search every open file and list every result.
To find every result takes all of half a minute from the moment you open notepad++. You can then ignore many of them based on the file name.

Actually I don't know if I can use Notepad++, because Crossover can't handle many third party programs. I have one for my Mac anyway w/ a search function (and much more!) so I'm fine there.
I just think that even a half-minute times all of the files may take a little bit, but I think I can do it.

The locomotive looks wonderful, but shouldn't the headlight be red or the dark blue of the body , instead of light blue?

 

[Flintlock1415]

I don't see any light blue, unless you are looking at the Nifskope screenshot. I posted a second one; like this:

You've been gone for a few days, so I got some nice work done. (I got the train route restrictor to work, in case you didn't see that. )

half minute for all the C++ at once.

That quick huh? Hopefully I can come up with something.

 

[Modeltrainman]

I can't wait for this mod!

I like the train model. If you upload the latest version - I can look at getting some team colour on there. If we keep team colour to the non-curved surfaces it should work OK.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Okay, cool! You'd have to separate the teamcolored parts though, right? Because if you used TCivSkinning, the curved parts would all become teamcolor, I think.
Anyway, you probably already know this, so here you go:

 

[Modeltrainman]

If I download the train, does it come with everything it needs to be plopped into Colonization?

 

[Flintlock1415]

Yes, all the art is there, you just need to XML it in.

 

[Modeltrainman]

I'll have to wait then, I don't want to mess up my game. I broke my Beyond the Sword install that way once.

 

[Flintlock1415]

When you mod, just make sure that you DON'T edit the original files, just copy them into a mod folder. Then you can screw up as much as you need until you can figure it out.

Here you go - team color trains. Obviously I could only team color the non curved bits. Also I did a bit of tidy up here and there. Hope they fit the bill.

 

[PiMan]

Is it possible to bring the flag in front of the train's funnel? It is difficult to see as is.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Wow, thanks a million Deliverator! These are awesome!

@Piman
I think its just the angle at which the screenshot was taken. Bringing it in front would get in the way of the train imo.

 

[Deliverator]

Yeah, I think it's just because I took the screenshot from an unusual angle.

 

[Modeltrainman]

These are really great.. They look like they did when they were in Railroads!

 

[cfkane]

I haven't heard anything in a while. How's it progressing?

 

[Flintlock1415]

I anticipated this sort of post.
I haven't had a lot of time to mod, so this is kind in a halt mod. (Although my posting habits might suggest otherwise. )
I just got a new job (30 hours a week + high school = no free time!) and I have a couple of AP tests coming up, so I'm pretty well strapped.

I'm excited to try out the new nifscripts so I can try to fix up my art, so once I do get time, I'll jump right back into this. (I have next weekend off, so hopefully I'll start in then.)

This mod is far from done, just shoved to the back of my priority list until I get everything sorted out.
