DasMatze's Train - Developers

[img]http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/02/02/868889b7ac920da0c232cf11e49712f1f47b896c.jpg[/img] (the banner is a Railworks DLC parody) I made this simple train for a machinima and decided to convert it to Gmod so that you can use it on the train maps. Contents: The loco chassis, the flatbed car chassis, the passenger coach chassis, the wheel bogey and the wheels (also as models in wheel stool). Here's a video with a little tutorial how not to mess it all up: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGenI1t_RiA[/media] Download: [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=90011][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=90011[/img][/url] It's clearly not perfect and it wasn't supposed to be in GMod but this is what I leave here for you so far and if you like it and be able to give constructive critics I may update it, make it better and more stable and maybe even create other trains.

Looks nice, you should add more wagons and some different colours for the train. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/rainbow.png[/img]

Looks sweet.

looks nice, would love to see more engine models and more coaches!

Thank you. I will think of more trains and colors when I'm sure that the effort will be worth it (recoloring is a pain because the textures are quite jittery and have some artifacts). I hope nobody minds if I am offtopic for a minute. I want to make it more stable. So I added another pair of wheels which looks the same but it's colision models have an extension to keep it better on the track: [img]http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/02/03/eaf90cc5a81b29c75e7e6190031d03181a560b7f.jpg[/img] The left is the colision model of the wheel in the released version, the other one is the extended version. The problem is: If I import it, there's no way to attach the extended wheel to the wheel bogey, because the wheel tool moves the origin of the model down so that the invisible part (the extended part of the colision model) isn't where it should (theres a space between the wheel and the bogey). Is there any lua parameter or something to fix it? Thanks in advance and sorry for being offtopic.

I wish for more colours! :v:

Looks awesome. Question though: Does it fit on the phx pack rail tracks? or do you intend to release your own set of rails?

Omg you should expand this so its like its railworks... 100 different packs :D

[QUOTE=peterboi;20092810]Omg you should expand this so its like its railworks... 100 different packs :D[/QUOTE] That cost $10-$20 each

Can you put interior on it ?

[QUOTE=JOn1995]Can you put interior on it ?[/quote] I could but it would take much time. I decided not to continue work on it because I have bigger plans (see next quote). [QUOTE=necrobard;20091833]Looks awesome. Question though: Does it fit on the phx pack rail tracks? or do you intend to release your own set of rails?[/QUOTE] Yes, it does fit with the PHX rails as well as the rails in the train maps. But I'm also working on my own train map with track models, which don't only look better, but also it speed up the track laying procedure drastically. Here's a little teaser: [URL=http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/02/08/5c3f59ed9652f3743ee89205fb602497367a654f.jpg][IMG]http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/02/08/t-5c3f59ed9652f3743ee89205fb602497367a654f.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/02/08/f30bb1074483de5078202a873fe26968463d12cd.jpg][IMG]http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/02/08/t-f30bb1074483de5078202a873fe26968463d12cd.jpg[/IMG][/URL] More info later in it's own thread.

Nice!

lol'd at the banner. Anyway quality stuff as always dasmatze.

[QUOTE=CertainDOOM;20115011]lol'd at the banner. Anyway quality stuff as always dasmatze.[/QUOTE] The banner. It is a-may-zing.

I love the picture, and the train is the first good one I have seen in a while. It works AMAZINGLY on gm_trainconstruct2, but the coaches are too long and get caught on a corner in gm_mobenix_v3_final, and it is simply too tall for gm_wireconstruct_rc. Other than that, best train I've ever seen. Thank you.

Mobenix fails for custom trains. The only train that will work is not-surprisingly-the brush train.

You make awesome stuff for all of my favourite games. I appreciate that! Downloading right away

So hows it goin' DasMatZeh? :3: Do a flat ended train next. :3:

nice train looks like from tf2 or something

Is the machinima any good you made this for? Can we see it, please? /puppy eyes

I too wish to know if/when/other the machinima is in development.

It's not done and it probably will never be done, because I never get any people to work with me and also I do get an idea for a new project every second day so I lose interest quickly. This train was the train which transports rockets and explosives into an underground base where Dr Kleiner built a big-ass minigun which shoots rockets (rockets with the size of the TF2/EP2 rocket).

Nice Trains What is the name of that map?

Oh, shit, there's a rocket like that? Do want.

You sir are a genius, finnaly I don't have to use the damn standard train. I was getting sick of it as i get stuck in the ceiling of it and its hard to build with.

Might i ask a particular model of ya? The train engine looks great, but perhaps you could make it so that the cabin is only on one side? I'm not to familiar with train terminology, but that way the passenger parts would flow with the front piece, instead of the front piece having a cabin that faces one of the passengers.. Does this request require pics? xD

Thanks for the critics! I know what you mean but: 1. "I decided not to continue work on it because I have bigger plans" 2. Not every (possibly the most) locomotive fits with it's passenger coachs. This train is inspired by the german [url=http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=us&safe=off&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=br+189&btnG=Suche&aq=f&oq=&start=0]BR 189[/url].

You're not going to release the rails and other trains? I was hoping you would... We need better train stuff. PHX doesn't cut it.

What are those ''bigger plans''?

[QUOTE=teh pirate;20384095]You're not going to release the rails and other trains? I was hoping you would... We need better train stuff. PHX doesn't cut it.[/QUOTE] I've suggested to him bigger tracks because the current bends are not helping the phoenix-made or other-made trains. Wider curves and such would be more useful, but no, I am ignored.
