[WIP] Electrified Roads
Moderator: Locomotion Moderators
It is there in the menus, but game classification it is a road.
even the dat file is called ROADTRAM.dat.
it is also the same subclass as the other roads, while diffrent to the rails.
Please, Try and atleast check the files before saying that cause of its menu placement.
the overhead catenary for tram tracks doesn't have compatible fields though, so i can quess its related to its subclass that prevents it from be placed on just roads.

I don't know what every data line means in loco, so if you'd like to try, here's the xml:

Tired of buses and trucks getting lost? Here is a solution. I modded a bus to run on tram track. If someone wants to know how it is done, or wants a certain bus/truck, send me a pm and I will reply.metalangel wrote:Someone make trolley trucks too, so they won't get lost either, and stop b****** overtaking each other and blocking traffic coming the other way!
Sorry, I forgot to screenshot. This bus is a bus&trailer modded by barney_5uk. It was the first I found when I decided to try this.

Why not just mod and replace all roads, and give them the capability of using the overhead wires? There are only the six roadtypes. It would take very little work.That Guy wrote:They don't want something like that. they're trying to make, from what i take as, an electric bus route, so people can make and run electric buses and run them. we have an electric bus line downtown in Vancouver :wink:

Jim-san, you've given me a great idea... in another thread (or was it this one?) I suggested 'bus lanes' as a kind of disguised tram track to guide 'trams' that actually look like trucks and stop them getting lost.
I've realized, another open would be to make them require a road with telephone poles along it... so technically they're electric but the road just looks like a normal road with telephone poles, and nobody notices

yay I've given somebody an idea that works, I can die happy
Anyway I'm glad that someone can make use outta my posts, another thing that could be done it that when you add the bus lane wires, it'll colour the road abit like on bus lanes round here.
Somewhat like this:
Bus Lane picture
thou it'll look abit weird for other countrys as I don't think they colour their bus lanes... or do they
(also sorry about being weird today, just finished work for the week and starting my weekend, in the middle of everyone elses week )

Well, in Toronto, we just painted a big white diamond on the lane every few hundred yards, and put signs over it saying BUS LANE. In Cardiff the bus lanes are green, and the bike lanes are red.

Bus lanes
To be honest, I think red or green roads would look a bit wierd graphically in-game. Despite the bus-lane thing (which i know, i live in london) i think coloured roads will look stupid.

That's not the point. The point is, the 'coloured roads' are secretly tram tracks, guiding the trucks and buses to their destination. If they were just a diamond on the road every few squares, adding or removing the lanes would be a complete nightmare - they need to be visible. Do they look 'stupid' in real life?
