Time for a bunch of new wagons, but these wagons come with something special, rusty variants!
This update adds 4 new types of freight wagons, all of which have a "half rust" and "full rust" variation.
As well as these wagons, this update also includes a version of the classic DX locomotive with a Brazilian livery (for the Paranapiacaba layout) which has a few changes to make it more like a U20c locomotive. This new locomotive also comes with rusty variants!
Here are all the new wagons:
- Curved roof boxcar:
- Tanker car:
- Ore gondola:
- Long gondola:
- And of course, the U20c:
Thank you to Long, who made the base models for the two gondolas, and Joa who made the base model for the curved-roof boxcar!
You can find all these new wagons & loco in the "freight 2" drawer:
Custom liveries will be coming for these freight wagons at a later stage.
The U20c though will not be getting a custom livery template, since I am planning to make an improved version of the model later on (as part of the Weka Pass, which will include several historic New Zealand Rail locos!)
Along with these additions, this update also includes various fixes:
- Added "add left/right" ability on custom track! this feature was usually limited to the main layout, but you can now build trains using this system everywhere! Hold shift while hovering over a wagon to use the Q and E add left/right options.
- I've made a bunch of changes to decoupling, so issues like not being able to decouple from a moving locomotive, incorrect "decouple/push" button prompts, random situations where decoupling wouldn't work, etc, have all been fixed!
- Fixed issue where trains couldn't be pushed after loading a save. keep in mind you still cannot push a moving train, but any uncontrolled stationary train can be pushed now.
- Fixed bug where wagons could have incorrect wheel positions when placed on track (usually occurred with small wagons, like the flyer tender).
- Fixed plow positioning on the Side-rod loco.
- Fixed issue where very small props would have their position data rounded down in saves, resulting in small changes in position.
And that's all for now!
As you may have heard, most of the world is going into lock-down thanks to the covid-19 virus, and as of a couple of days ago New Zealand also went into a full lock-down.
Considering i work from home, this hopefully wont effect my work on Rolling Line much, but we are living in crazy times, so who knows whats going to happen.
Regardless, I'm continuing work on the Brazil layout and i plan to be releasing it in a matter of weeks! unless I catch the coronavirus of course.
Anyway, in the meantime, enjoy these new freight wagons!
If you're in lock-down then this is the perfect time to work on your dream layout project!
