Diesel Mod - AC4400 Release
Diesel Mod - AC4400 Release
Those of you who were watching the "Diesel Mod" topic closely were probably eagerly awaiting Eilelwen's and OzoB's creation of the AC4400 6-axle engine.
Well wait no more. Eilelwen was kind enough to send me the files for this train, so I have packaged it along with 5 skins into an installer.
But after you've installed the engine, there is still a little work for you to do to get the engine in your maps. If you are brave enough to modify the map's XML files, then you will need to make the following additions for the AC4400 to show up in the map. Otherwise, use the Sid Meier's Railroads! Scenario Manager v2.0.
*********************
In order to add this train to your maps, you will need to add the following XML reference to the map's RRT_Trains_<mapname>.xml:
*********************
<Train>
<szName>TAG_NAME_AC4400_DUAL</szName>
<Year>1994</Year>
<MaxSpeed>12</MaxSpeed>
<Speed0>15</Speed0>
<Power>32</Power>
<Cost>450000</Cost>
<MaintenanceCost>8000</MaintenanceCost>
<szTenderCar>AC4400Dummy</szTenderCar>
</Train>
That's it. There is a Readme file in the ZIP that explains more.
Edit 3/25/2007: v1.1 fixes the Uninstaller from deleting everything in CustomAssets. Updated the Readme file and installation instructions.

Thanks so much but does not work for me.
On several posts here we have established you do not need to add to RRT_TrainCars_<mapname>.xml file.
If you do the tenders mod does not work.
All the tender cars are done in the global RRT_TrainCars.xml
I will keep playing.
But to get the Santa Fee train from the basin and range map to work I added this to the map's RRT_Trains_<mapname>.xml
example of what I did to get dual trains in another map
I presume I need to do this to a RRT_Trains_<mapname>.xml to get this mod to work.

Ok now working ok in demo map side to side.
ignore the install txt file
1. Run the installer
2. All you do is add the below code to in your map, that is to the map's RRT_Trains_<mapname>.xml
Note above I used the settings in the demo and range TAG_NAME_GP38_DUAL settings just to see if the code works, teain diff colous at the moment

what a hot topic.
Thanks dwak - I can see what you sort of done.
The 1800 so it shows up at the beginning of a map - cool great feature mod that should be in the wiki if not so already.
If I just add this I dont get the second train as you need to add the dummy.
The guys are using tender car code as second trains
This is the second train that needs to be added.

Yep we owe Snoopy55 a lot and others on this forum for maps and global xml's and installers. we bow to you all.
I just poked in the fpk to have a quick look and can see I think where the blue is.
If you look at the likes of ge_ac4400_nmrl.dds to ge_ac4400_nmrl_v4.dds are blue
I don't know if this intentional and will wait and see what choobacca says.
One black one blue still a good combo and at least we have a new train.

Great stuff I can now get three double headed trains in the maps I have tried.

This doesnt look good.... Looks like something went wrong in the installer macros.Dr Frag wrote:Well the installer tried putting it in the right place but because I have a non-standard install dir I got this.
choobaca, can you email me the installer script or post it online someplace I can download it? I would like to debug this a bit further...

Doesn't work for me and I think it's because the installer didn't create a folder in the custom assets/train folder so it's missing the event_newtrain.dds and the routing.tga. Thats the only thing I can think of why it's not working as I believe I added the proper code to both the train and traincar xml's for the map I tried it on.
