Raised Railroad texture
Hi,
I would like to change the texture of the raised railway tracks.
Could you give me the texture of that railway (and the railway station) so that I have a basis for that rework?
Also: What would I have to put into the jsons of the tracks and the station in order to replace the normal railroad with my version, while maintaing the original functionality?
Thank you!

Re: Raised Railroad texture
Mind if I also request if you could do a slightly hill-elevated rail road tracks. I mean:
/+-+\ - front view
____
///// - side view
where:
/\ --> the slight elevation
+ --> wheel track
- --> space between the wheel track
Thank you.

Re: Raised Railroad texture
That's not complete, as the piles aren't provided.
The rail station is rotation aware and not pluginable currently I believe.

Re: Raised Railroad texture
Thanks guys.
So the piles are build into the game and placed with coordinates, therefore I can't change their texture, right?
But at least I could change the texture of the rails themselves with the image above. Is that correct?

Re: Raised Railroad texture
The piles frames can be replaced too, they're just not in the above image.

Re: Raised Railroad texture
Okay, but I'm still not sure how to do it.
Let's say I rework the rails in the image provided by Josh, wouldn't I have to somehow define that image in the json, too?

Re: Raised Railroad texture
Yes, you would provide the frames via "bmp" files like for roads but following the plan above. 16 bed frames, 16 side frames.

Re: Raised Railroad texture
Hm, so I tried it like this:
And I provided the image below.
But for some reason, it doesn't work in the game. It just builds the poles and nothing else
Any ideas?
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"railtracks_grey_mdk_813",
"type":"rail",
"author":"mdk_813, Lobby and Theo",
"frames":
[{"bmp":"tracks_Grey.png","x":512,"y":822,"w":32,"h":21,"move y":-16,"count":16},{"bmp":"tracks_Grey.png","x":512,"y":843,"w":32,"h":21,"move y":-16,"count":16}],
"on ground":false,
"pile frames":[{"x":512,"y":1312,"w":32,"h":42}],
"pile height":21,
"pile distance":4,
"price":100,
"monthly price":1
}
]

My latest try is this with the image below:
The game crashes as soon as I try to draw the rails
Before I tried a version with "width" and "height" each set to 1 (same negative result) and a version without "count" and "w", i.e. only with the "bmp", this version crashes the game as soon as you try to scroll to it in the menu.

The rail drawer is expecting 32 frames! Don't leave the other 16 out.

Thanks, but the last code you posted still won't work as intended.
It doesn't crash anymore and the poles and sides are displayed correctly, but the grey railtracks are on groundlevel now.
