I have reached a significant turning point in my efforts to get my GWR loco working. I have finally manged to get my "prototype" Simugraph working...
Thanks for you reply. I fully understand what you were trying to say and I'm sorry if I appeared to be ungracious. Unfortunately I'm not really...
Thanks for you reply. I'm really not happy about giving out my email address in a public space and I try to avoid getting involved in private...
Thanks for your encouragement. Sorry for the delay in responding but I have been very busy trying to set up the loco in the editor. Please see my...
I have managed to attach a VHID to the drivers window and can now open and close although I haven't got fully involved with the Animation...
Thanks for your message and the other message on my GWR loco thread. Apologies for delay in responding but I have been very busy working on the...
Thanks for your help. Your explanation is what I did except for setting the collision preset to Rail Vehicle. Good news is I've now got the RVV...
Sadly I'm no further forwards. I have added a SM Collision to my RVV and I still fall through the locomotive and on to the centre of the earth. I...
Thanks for your encouragement.
I think I have discovered how the collisions are added in the DTG RVV. There is a Static Mesh at the origin named 4F engine collision. In the...
While setting up an RVV for my GWR steam locomotive I have run into a problem with Collision boxes and VHID's. Initially I used a child of a DTG...
Thanks for that. I have had the "Invalid Parameter Blast pipe etc." crash on some occasions when trying to use an edited RVM so you may well be...
Thanks to you and star#5823 for your encouragement. I'm not sure I'm really third party partner material and for the moment I'll just carry on...
I had thought of that and reset the Scenario to Summer fine weather. This photo shows the result. [ATTACH] The whole cab now has a blue cast...
As promised in my previous post I have attached a couple of pictures of the driver's eye view of the loco in Play In Editor mode. [ATTACH] In...
Thanks for letting me know. Having finished my model I am now experimenting with the RVV RVM and Simugraph. All three are interrelated. For...
Thanks for your support and encouragement. I have finished the armature / skeleton for the cab and have started assigning the vertex groups to...
In the timetable setup - with the "Stop at Location" box selected you will see the Destination setting (where your Platform marker is) . If you...
Thanks for your continued encouragement and offer to help with the RVM etc. Forgive me for going way off topic but I have been reminded that in...
Glad to hear you have sorted it all out. I thought I had mentioned the need the need for a Spawn volume parented to the Station in a previous...
Finally, after many weeks of working in Blender I have completed the Cab Interior model and this completes all the 3D modelling and texturing for...
I no expert but I think this and the previous messages about the RVV are saying that the Passengers on the train are not spawning in the carriage...
When I had my station working once the train doors opened the passengers on the platform would wait until the passengers in the coach had stepped...
In my previous post on other threads I mentioned the Navmesh in the Persistent Level but I thought I had only used this to stop passengers...
On the subject of VHID's I have been messing about trying to setup a Simugraph and RVM (both from scratch) for my GWR steam loco and have just...
Sorry I have been away from the forum for some time due to important family matters. I am disappointed to see that we are going backwards as you...
If you haven't done so already please look through the thread "Custom Station Help" started by GreggyGran around May 2024 as there are several...
I have succeeded in getting passengers to board correctly on one of my (many) station blueprint tests but I can't give you a quick answer as to...
1.Platform Static Mesh The first requirement for a station is to create a Static Mesh for the Platform (s) - you can either have all the platforms...
Sorry, but I have neither the time or the skills required for me to produce a video tutorial on station setup. Like you, I started my project as a...
I can't really offer any help without more information. When you say the passengers are not spawning on the platform - do you mean no passengers...
I suggest you look at the thread "Custom Station Creation" as the issues around getting passengers to appear on the platforms, Navmeshes etc. are...
Thank you for such generous appreciation of my efforts. As I'm sure you know from your own project there are times when the scale of the task can...
For my locomotive (where the textures come from Armor Paint) I'm just using normal materials with base colour and roughness ,metallic etc. The AO...
Thanks for your support and encouragement. I diverted slightly to test the texturing of the cab in Armor Paint and here is a photo of the cab (so...
Thanks to "brfan#9132", "LouisianaSouthEastern2087" and "FreddieTheShepherd" for your support. Although I have been making slow progress I am...
It's some time since I was involved with the station and passengers but I had run into problems with Navmesh. I didn't mention that in this new...
Finally got the finished exterior model back in the editor (having lost the link between bones and vertex groups.) I can now complete my...
I have modelled them, that is they were separate objects which are now combined into the overall skeletal mesh. I will be adding bones to to...
Latest progress on the Cab Skeletal Mesh. Just finished the three pressure gauges but the vacuum one doesn't have pipe connections yet as the...
The jury is still out on ArmorPaint. I had been using Quixel Mixer which was free but since Epic Games relaunched Quixel as Fab I think it is...
Thanks but I'm a bit reluctant to hijack this forum for a talk about models in general and think I should stick to posts related to what I am...
Thanks for the picture of the model - I assume it is 4mm (OO scale). In the past I have made a couple of static locomotive models (metal) in 2.1/2...
Thanks Andy Gough and LouisianaSoutheastern2087 for the support and encouragement. Now working on the Cab Interior and Controls starting with the...
I have followed your pdf. tutorial and was able to cook the route and get the packed file into the game DLC folder. Sadly the route is still not...
Thanks very much for this pdf file. I have read through it and it looks as if it will be a great help in getting my route into the game. I...
Thanks for your support and continued encouragement. I don't think DTG are likely to invite me to become a third party developer as I am just a...
Of course I'm always happy to help although I can't guarantee I would know the answer !. Perhaps I could ask you a question : To get your route...
You are right of course. The Simugraph Axle Node has wheel size and gauge but also somewhere it has the offset (X, Y , Z ) of each axle from the...
You have certainly put a lot of effort into this and hopefully you will be successful. I have been working on a GWR Pannier Tank loco for a long...
