Mange's Tender Mod

The concern is the creation of the KFM. Unless the Item comes with a 3 axel KFM the concept is shot unless Blender cooperates. As of yet, I have not tried to have that argument, but it is pending.

Sure...take one of the wheel assembelies and copy it to a third wheel set. Then you would have to add a node to the tender to add the new wheel set for any kf animations. You know, train models can work in this game without any animation files. I agree it would look kind of silly having it move without moving wheels, but it can be done. Tender wheels don't have to spin. A third wheelset added and if it didn't move...who would notice.

As usual it depends who you ask. Some individuals are quite anal when it comes to that, as you well know.

Well...
It is like this. The tender files were made when all new items were directly loaded into the game. Now Tenders are added on a per map basis, as new maps are being made as self-contained maps today. My maps that use tenders have them installed through the maps files.
Now to place them on your maps, you have to add them to your xml lists yourself.
The trains that use them need the tender car line added to each engine, then in the train cars list you need to add tender cars to the bottom of the list.
I can post copies of the xml lists here if you need...or send you an example of a map that has them added to the maps car list etc.

It isn't that hard to do. If you know xml for web pages etc, you will find it easy. You can add them to the games default maps if that is what you wish, as the game came with none.

If I remember right, it comes with installer and works with the plain original game.
I belive that's what you have.

Why is the 4-4-0 American's tender the only one witch doesn't change color with the locomotive?
