Neither of your tram packages will "juice" in FileJuicer.  It would be nice to have a zip archive, so Mac usere can use the awesome trams.

ive been having some troubles with your tram package. i cant seem to get the blue/white amsterdam tram to work, ive also tried the orange/white berlin tram and it didnt work either. what i get is a tram that is shaped like your trams but the colours are just plain looking blocky reds, blues, yellows, and greens. i do have the folder installed after the nam folder and i have tried other tram packages that work (of course removing them when trying yours) but their quality isnt anywhere as good as yours. i would love to see your trams in my city so i hope you can help.

[vester]

Well that is becauce you are running with software rendering, instead of hardware rendering.

This is due to I use larger textures than the ones that is supported with software rendering.
I might do a lower resolution of them later.
Which one of the trams would you prefer ? I could do that for you with lower resolution textures.

[jmdude1]

wow, that would be really great of you to do that. i prefer the amsterdam white/blue tram. thanks for your help.

[vester]

jmdude1: Sometimes tomorrow.

bwatterud: Sorry for my late answer.
On the german site SimCityKurier you find zip files for MAC with my trams

[jmdude1]

ok, thanks again vester, will you just attach the file to your post? i will look for them tomorrow.

[vester]

No need. I made them.

We are talking about the multi unit mod, or the one-unit multi tram mod ?

[jmdude1]

the mulit unit tram will be fine. 

[vester]

 

[vester]

Sorry it's going to take a little longer than expected.
I can not get one of the needed program to work 

but rest a sure: its on my list

[jmdude1]

thats ok, i can be patient. thanks for all your effort on this.

Hi Vester,

When I open the Swan Mill Tram Depot lot file in the reader, I can see this in the LD file:

BSC MEGA Props - DAE Vol01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - Gascooker Vol01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - JES Vol01.dat
BSCBATProps VDK Vol01.dat
BSC_VDK_Tram_Shed.dat
BSC_VDK_Tram_Workshop.dat
CP_PropPack_Vol01.dat
jes_family_industrials.dat

Are BSC_VDK_Tram_Shed.dat and BSC_VDK_Tram_Workshop.dat included in a Prop pack? They don't seem to be included in the LEX files I just downloaded and nowhere in my plugin folder.

Thanks .

[vester]

You find them within the BSCBATProps VDK Vol01.dat

The file names, BSC_VDK_Tram_Shed.dat and BSC_VDK_Tram_Workshop.dat, was the name of the files before they where merged togther in the prop pack.

Hi Arne

I opened the game the other day after a while on one of my computers (actually on one that belongs to my employer) equipped with an almost state-of-the-art ATI card and noticed this:

(both software and hardware mode)

Soo I found it doesnt like 512*512 textures, does arne know?

I might do a lower resolution of them later.

Yes he does. So i decided to help out with costumer support a bit and made a kludge ATI fix.

[vester]

Thanks Vil. Good to see you around again. 

You are more than welcome to upload this to LEX if you want.

EDIT 2009-12-10: The fix is uploaded to LEX.

Hi Vester, it's me again. Haven't played for 3/4 year but now I'm starting up again.

I have a Mac and I tried to juice the new tram file but I only get a .txt file. I saw that you have uploaded your previous tramsets in a zip file on SimCityKurier. Could you also make a zip file of the new sets? That would be great because I love the HTM and RSR trams! Thank you!

[vester]

Sorry, that wasn't me that uploaded it to SimCityKurier, but Andreas. Don't have any upload rights there.

[Andreas]

I'd assume vester could send you the files as a regular ZIP file if you provide him with your e-mail address via PM. At the moment, I'm pretty busy with RL, but maybe I'll find some free time over Easter to upload a couple of new items to SimCityKurier as well - the new trams would be a nice "easter egg" indeed.

Hello. I downloaded VDK trammod Vol3.
right now the problem is... i dont know how to install only one tram mod in the plug ins.. :\

i installed shmails glr station for my tram system.
