Hi
|
||
|
|
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 (atm they all look like very simple locomotives in different colors) that drive on these rails and collide with nodes in the environment(they need 3x3x3 space)
|
||
|
|
- conecting/disconnecting of wagons/trains
|
||
|
|
Planned features:
|
||
|
|
- trains will only move if a locomotive is in train
|
||
|
|
- locomotives need coal to drive (and water...)
|
||
|
|
- more types of trains and rails(electric, diesel, maglevs...)
|
||
|
|
- better controls
|
||
|
|
- cool models for trains and rails
|
||
|
|
- 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(placer) 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.
|
||
|
|
- place any of the wagons in different colors by picking the item and placing it on a track.
|
||
|
|
- right-click a wagon to sit onto it.
|
||
|
|
- right-click a wagon while holding W / S to accelerate/decelerate the train. This will fail if the train can't move in the desired direction.
|
||
|
|
- drive two trains together and they will connect automatically.
|
||
|
|
- right-click a wagon while holding sneak key to split a train at this wagon
|
||
|
|
- right-click a wagon while holding aux1 to print useful(TM) information to the console
|
||

Have fun!
