A Different Mexico

Thanks Snoopy,

That will be great. I'll wait till you work your magic esp since I'm having trouble getting the FPK files to unpack.

I have my new "New England Big" map all made. (I need to remove some of the trees as it seems to over tax the cpu/gpu)
I just need to customize all the XML files and create some good;<VictoryConditions>*</VictoryConditions>

I'm going to have two versions.
1) Random Industries M/P with VictoryConditions. (I got random fish working this time)
2) Single player with static Industries and harder VictoryConditions.

All Right!!! FISH!!!
I posted the files. It must have been at the same time you were making your post, which explains why it took so long to upload the file.

Hey, can you do the VCs for my map if I send you a copy? Email me if you want to take it on. No hurry, I'm still working on it.

Very Cool Snoopy.

Just finished downloading copper..

At least now I'll have a good base to work with.
Thanks very much..

At least now I'll have a good base to work with.

Ahhh, an insult ......at the most it needs some editing of the mine building.. ...and the Copper Ore icon... ....the Copper Car ain't to bad.... ....

[Kenster]

Sorry Snoopy,

It wasn't meant as an insult at all.

I said it's a good starting point since I've been trying to get Copper working for awhile without success and now I finally have something that works.

There are a few things that need adjusting.
I get a station at the mine instead of a mining annex.
No train car icons.
The mines look great as is and the cars look great also in-game.

Thanks a bunch Snoopy. This may even help with my headache

No, only joking.....you know, funny faces.....

I don't seem to get that on my map. Attached are the folders from my Custom Assets. I have the Mine part working in CttR. The RRT_Depots XML part S/B:

<Depot>
<szName>Copper Mine Annex</szName>
<szModel>Copper_mine_annex.kfm</szModel>
<szCreateKFM>copper_mine_Annex_Creation.kfm</szCreateKFM>
<InfluenceRadius>500.0</InfluenceRadius>
<IsAnnex>1</IsAnnex>
<BuildCost>25000</BuildCost>
<fScale>1</fScale>
</Depot>


The Ore Cars S/B:

<TrainCar>
<szName>Copper Ore Car</szName>
<szGood>Copper Ore</szGood>
<szModel>CopperOre_Car.kfm</szModel>
<szDummyModel>CopperOre_Car_dummies.nif</szDummyModel>
<szIcon>ICON_Car_Coal.dds</szIcon>
<szGroundClackSound>AS3D_CLACK_PLANET_GROUND</szGroundClackSound>
<szBridgeClackSound>AS3D_CLACK_PLANET_BRIDGE</szBridgeClackSound>
<RunLength>30</RunLength>
</TrainCar>


As to the Icons, that may have been because I'm working on six + cars and probally didn't have the car icon TGA in those files. They're included in the following folders. I have them in a central spot in my working file. SBT

The copper Cars will look a bit funny as I just looked at them in-game myself and the ends need to be Alpha'd. Not sure how to do that in a non-icon file, or even why it came up that way as it's a edited copy of the Paper Car..........

The only way I can think of as to how the depot came up is maybe how you edited the files. The Copper Mine Museum Annex uses a Depot..... but the Copper Mine Annex is nothing but an edited Coal Mine Annex.

Look it over.......

Thanks Snoopy,
I gave my XML a look over and it seems ok..
I'll take a better look tomarrow.. When I'm awake.

[snoopy55]

Here is a picture of a car we're working on......

That looks great snoopy! This is the history of the passenger cars I believe you are making: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd_Company. I think they were a little longer than the F7s though
