More boxcabs for the boxcab gods (NSW 422 Clas done)

#

also massive id reshuffle because I worked out what I was doing with liveries

#

so now each loco only needs 50 ids reserved instead of 100

haughty pollen Jan 20, 2026, 10:19 AM

#

You were reserving 100 IDs for liveries? That's optimistic 😂

strange quiver Jan 20, 2026, 10:20 AM

#

haughty pollen You were reserving 100 IDs for liveries? That's optimistic 😂

tbf I was never planning on using them all

#

tbh I won't even use all the 50

#

but it's there so if someone request it, or I feel like it, I can do any locomotive in any livery

#

it's just before I reserved 100 to try and cover literally every possible livery, but now I've limited that down to 50 of the most important liveries

How many IDs should one expect to reserve for a huge trainset?

#

I was thinking of dividing it by form of motive power

you can see how I've done it here

woeful halo Jan 20, 2026, 10:34 AM

#

Hmm

strange quiver Jan 20, 2026, 10:34 AM

#

I sort them by motive power, role and intro date

#

and then assigned each block of locomotives a range, and then each locomotive gets 50 ids from that range

#

I find it best to try and build in some flexibility so if you need to change something later you don't break stuff

signal gate Jan 20, 2026, 10:35 AM

#

woeful halo How many IDs should one expect to reserve for a huge trainset?

Horse uses IDs up to 40840

#

so reserve "all of the IDs"

#

Horse is gigantic

strange quiver Jan 20, 2026, 10:35 AM

you lied! you said horse was full

#

the ID range goes up to 65k

#

you can fit so many horses in there

woeful halo Jan 20, 2026, 10:36 AM

#

I think I will divide the set into steam, diesel and electric

signal gate Jan 20, 2026, 10:36 AM

#

you want 10 or 20 IDs per 'model'

woeful halo Jan 20, 2026, 10:36 AM

#

Got it

signal gate Jan 20, 2026, 10:36 AM

#

single unit vehicles will fit 10 liveries into 10 IDs

#

but if you have 2 or 3 part articulated units, you'll want 20 or 30 IDs for that model

strange quiver Jan 20, 2026, 10:37 AM

#

signal gate you want 10 or 20 IDs per 'model'

again, depending on what you're doing

#

so I generally do 50 ids for electric/diesels

#

I'm thinking maybe 5-10 for steam locomotives

#

and ~20 for MUs

#

really it comes down to how many variants you want

woeful halo Jan 20, 2026, 10:39 AM

#

By that measure, I probably will need 5 IDs minimum per loco in post 1950 era

#

Colonial ones get only one livery, mainly cuz it's borderline impossible to know what the liveries were back then

strange quiver Jan 20, 2026, 10:45 AM

#

yee, that could be enough

#

but you won't know until you get more experience doing stuff tbh

#

that's why early on I re-arrange ids often

woeful halo Jan 20, 2026, 11:22 AM

#

I love that we have a livery named Dutch in India

#

it genuinely is the Dutch flag and that's my favourite livery

#

besides that SR livery

strange quiver Jan 20, 2026, 12:34 PM

#

random thought, but how should I classify the NSW 72 class?

#

it's kind of a rebuild since it was made out of a spare 57 class tender

#

but it's also kinda not? since it's not a rebuild of an existing locomotive

#

but it's also not a production locomotive since they only made one, but it's also not a prototype

it's gonna be a pain for ORP since I have to include the American RDC and NSW Variant though

strange quiver Jan 23, 2026, 6:39 AM

#

I'm going through my docs atm, and I did note that some autoparts boxcars and tank wagons should be done as 9 or 10/8

#

like these being extra long would be a good contrast to the normal boxcars

#

but they're a more specialist vehicle so imo it's fine

turbid bronze Jan 23, 2026, 6:42 AM

#

Yeah specialist vehicles I think its cool

#

like specialist trains

#

like the big DD35/40's in your sets are so special because things that big are so rare in the set

#

if every 2nd thing was that size it just wouldn't be interesting anymore

tbh... with the Australian stuff I could have a switch that changes what variants appear based on the year....

although actually idk

I'll think about it, I'm still iffy about what to do with freight wagons

maybe, in case of same designations for diffrent locos, add the road name?

if I am correct some NH EP-5 aka PC E40 's were used by Conrail. (At least 2 locos)

#

3 is about right for most wagons

strange quiver Jan 23, 2026, 9:50 AM

#

I guess

#

I've reserved 5 ids for each wagon per gauge atm

#

maybe an idea could be that:
0: Silver with CC1/CC2 logo in centre
1: Silver with CC1/CC2 logo and Rust ends
2: Brown?
3: Blue?
4: maybe a mix?

#

the problem is I want people to be able to do group based liveries without having to worry about setting locomotive/wagon colour scheme separatley

strange quiver Jan 23, 2026, 9:53 AM

strange quiver also, not sure if I'll have CC on these hoppers

so if I include CC on the hoppers, it can look weird

@strange quiver after much iterating Horse settled on

wagons have types

each type has unique sprites

colour is CC by default

nested variants for more colours, because the group livery is for the engine

#

idea...

#

I could have it coded so if you buy one of these open hoppers, and refit it to something like grain, it gets a covered roof

#

IRL these were conversions, but... it would make them a bit more universal gameplay wise

haughty pollen Jan 24, 2026, 12:50 AM

So then they'd magically gain a roof when autorefitting to grain

strange quiver Jan 24, 2026, 12:50 AM

yeah, pretty much

#

they're litterally the same vehicle otherwise

haughty pollen Jan 24, 2026, 12:51 AM

Sure, if that doesn't bother you. The alternative would be doing it as a variant

as long as you don't do that annoying thing OpenGFX+ Trains does where some cargos are autorefittable but others aren't 😅

turbid bronze Jan 25, 2026, 7:13 AM

need to do some ever so slight colour shifts on them to bring them up or down one tone and randomise them

#

its very bright atm 😛

strange quiver Jan 25, 2026, 7:13 AM

#

yeah... not much I can do about that since it's cc

#

that's why we need custom CC 🙂

turbid bronze Jan 25, 2026, 7:14 AM

#

Yeah I find some of those custom CC's are all over the place in terms of their average kinda luminosity, tends to be why I prefer the default CC's. I like my colours a little more subdued and consistent.

strange quiver Jan 25, 2026, 7:15 AM

#

well it looks better in normal colours

#

but yh, you can't really do the brown of the NSW livery

turbid bronze Jan 25, 2026, 7:15 AM

#

but what I meant is if you've got a block of six colours you're using in the CC range, you do one repaint where you shift them all up one value, and another where you shift everything down one value

strange quiver Jan 25, 2026, 7:15 AM

#

yeah, but that's the issue

#

I use all 8 🙁

turbid bronze Jan 25, 2026, 7:18 AM

Default brown doesn't look bad

#

and yeah using all eight might be painting yourself into a corner so to speak :\

#

hard to work with such a limited pallette

#

they do look quite nice though so I can't really knock em

mental musk Jan 25, 2026, 7:20 AM

#

You can always make an mixed 8bpp+32bpp graphics just as in JP+

So use 8bpp 95% of time to get coherent looks and use 32bpp only whan You need extra colours?

strange quiver Jan 25, 2026, 7:20 AM

#

turbid bronze Default brown doesn't look bad

yh, but it just doesn't do the NSW livery justice

turbid bronze Jan 25, 2026, 7:20 AM

maybe do alternating primary CC like what NARS did back in the day

strange quiver Jan 25, 2026, 7:21 AM

#

turbid bronze they do look quite nice though so I can't really knock em

yeah...

#

tbf I could do 32bpp for some of the liveries

#

just not the company colour ones

turbid bronze Jan 25, 2026, 7:21 AM

~~It will be very annoying if it's a FRAX problem~~

it will be something like "what do we do about cement"?

you can't detect specific cargos by class

grey?

did it work?

desert stone Jan 28, 2026, 10:31 PM

#

signal gate what colour is 'generic cargo' supposed to be?

Blue is the fallback colour

#

It first uses CC to determine which recolour to use, then sorts through a list of cargo recolours based on that

#

We use animation orange for ores, and JP+ further uses purple for metal recolours

signal gate Jan 28, 2026, 10:33 PM

ok so the blue is working as expected

funnily enough, I still need to confirm it, but those multi-level cars are likely a distant cousin of the V-set

#

Comeng did designs for DD cars for the MBTA and NJT in the late 1980s, that look similar to the final production cars

#

(plus the remains of Comeng were bought by Bombardier)

#

not super great photos, but you can see the resemblance of the MBTA cars

#

I don't have an early drawing of the NJT cars, but I know there's some out there

#

also I did spot this comment in the history of Comeng...

#

this was around 1987/1988, so potentially NJT was considering something based on the QR 3100 class instead of the AEM-7?

#

I doubt they got far into the contract, and it might have been speculative, but I'm sure there'd be an early sketch or something out there

#

but a tri-bo american boxcab electric would be really cool

yee, I know, but I swear I've seen an early Comeng design for NJT cars for the hudson river tunnels

I was just using that as an example if anything

#

all I know is that I recall seeing a design, and NJT was in talks for Comeng built cars before Comeng fell apart

#

and... Bombardier ended up building the NJT cars, and they owned what remained of Comeng

but it's something I need to do more research on, I just need to get back down to the archive and poke around

random thought, but I could have a switch that makes it so if you buy a certain train during the preview period, it's a different design

doing some tweaking to the Rapid Transit pack, and when I can I'm gonna update the old sprites to be better scaled and more visually consistent. Here's a before an after of the union gate car. IRL these were only 15m long and 3.6m tall, so I dropped it to 6/8 and by a pixel in height to be more accurate

I think it makes it look far better

also it gives a better scale when compared to the main line stuff
