Catenary Replacer
With the much appreciated help of boformer I managed to make the beginnings of a mod that aims to add more customization to the existing Train Tracks network. New styles will be added continuesly, if I have the time for it.
For your information: I don’t know how to code, all inital lines of code were taken from the Bus Stop Replacer mod (by boformer)
The aim for this mod is to give players full control over the visuals of their rail network. I plan to do this by adding as much variety as possible. I’m thinking of all standard catenaries of most major countries. Along the way I can also make (generic) requests. On top of that I want to give you the ability to submit your own models, which I can then add to the mod. Unfortunately, you cannot do this yourself as you can for Network Skins, as I try to keep this mod simple. However, this might change in the future as Network Skins is still undergoing development.
The mod will include several ‘Styles’ you can choose from in the Mod Options. You can change this in-game. The mod will then replace all vanilla props with custom props. Another option is to remove the wires completely. The styles are applied to all tracks, this includes vanilla Station Tracks, but also all tracks from Extra Station Tracks and One-Way Tracks. Until Network Skins is updated, you cannot change props per segment.
All included props can be placed seperately using More Beautification.
All changes are visual and will therefor not break your game. When anything goes wrong or when unsubscribing, the game will simply load the vanilla props.
- Add more variety to the props (example[zalix.nl])*
- Add random track-side junk (e.g. rails & sleepers)*
- Add random track-side props (e.g. powerboxes)*
- Add signals at intersections*
- Add End-of-the-line prop (example[www.conrad.nl])
- Add custom Buffers (per style)
- Add custom wires (per style)
*Optional
– No Catenary: Wires still show up when viewed from far away. (Fixed: August 29th, 2017)
– PRRA & PRRB: Default One-Way Tracks catenaries still how up on single tracks. (Fixed: February 26th, 2016)
Can I change the catenaries per segment?
Unforunately not, wait until Network Skins supports Train Tracks
Can you make a mod to customize Tram Tracks?
It’s on my list, but first I want to understand how the Wire Shader works before I start with it
Does this mod support One-Way Tracks and (Extra) Station Tracks?
Yes
