Guide: adding new vehicles.

[Bel_Alex]

Maybe, it has already been discovered, but I haven't seen that on the forum, so I decided to create a topic.

Guide about adding new vehicles (in English). I hope, this will help all the modders in their future researches of CiM, and in creating new add-ons and modifications as well.

Great, from the looks of it it is not very dissimilair from new models for Bloodbowl. I wish I could make them though, but even with this wonderful tutorial I will never be able to I am afraid.

great guide but what about the buttons that appear in the vehicles panel ingame? are they auto generated for your new bus? or how does that work

Honestly, it's very simple, don't be afraid of trying and experimentalize.)

Bus are added into the vehicles panel during the second step while editing the en_US.strings and default-vehicles.script files. I think, it's mostly about the second one.

It must be there, if you have unpacked the metro.gs archieve and if it runs correctly.

Capacity is changed in the 8 line (this.capacity =) in the bus80.script file, if you about that.)

 

[vanadio]

I unpacked with GS file viewer...

This is what i have in metro folder

 

[stevebone]

unpack again the envsets is in metro.gs Ex: Cities in Motion\metro\envsets

 

[vanadio]

Done.

The problem now is that i dont know how to use that bus, because it doesnt appear in the sandbox (older) and aldo doesnt appear in scenario...

I tried in every way, trying to make a new vehicle myself or with add your file but impossible to add a vehicle ! The game crash or no new vehicle appears ...

 

[Bel_Alex]

vanadio, lemmy1916, you play in english-version?

 

[vanadio]

yes...

 

[unmerged(229823)]

french version, but i modified the en_US and fr filesa and that doesn't work, i have same folder like the vanadio screen....

 

[Bel_Alex]

Hmm, try to do that again following the steps. And make sure, that the files en_US.script and default-vehicles.script look completely like this:

Does anyone else have such problems?

 

[vanadio]

Finally it worked... I had mkdate values wrong...

Now my problem is with the colors... I dont know why but i used some kind of blue, but the game shows it as red...

>>By the way, it’s very important to choose the third line - DXT3 ARGB (Explicit Alpha) - in the window, which will appear when saving the bus80_n.png file.

 

[vanadio]

I already saved in that format...
