I'm hoping to get PakBritain moving again - any chance there could be a sub-board for it like on the old forum? Thanks
Did you need an svn or do you will it manage allone?
I can't add boards, so ask admins...
I don't understand. All I'm after for the time being is just a sub-board on the forum to put PakBritain threads in. Eventually we'll need to have a place to download files from if the forum isn't suitable for that.
Just start posting anyway. If the pak.britain just contains of two threads, I think you would advertize them better to users, if all see them instead of hiding them in a subboard. If traffic increases the boards can be surely moved.
Has there been any progress on this recently? I'd very much like to see British things updated in Pak128. Are all the original British industries, trains and 'busses (including the excellent British train pack) going to be (or have they already been) made opensource so that development on them can continue?
I had never seen this topic. Then, here we go.
We had created a board for "Other paksets", once we have until now got a lot of pakset projects with a small amount of topics each.
If someone is interested in continuing or advertising a pak project, please, post
one topic per pak there:
Other paksets board:arrow: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?board=46.0
Upon posting there, I'll edit the board description so that your pak shows up on the public. To make clear what I'm speaking of, this is the current board description:
At: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php#16
If your project earns a good movement, be sure we'll create a new board.
Few things going on at the moment stopping development:
1) Real life - couldn't remain with simutrans being my social life forever you know :)
2) No internet at home at the moment (and work blocks simutrans.com...) - not sure when it will be back.
I'm not opposed in principle to open sourcing PakBritain, but I would want it to remain consistent in terms of graphics. Anyway, I haven't forgotten about things!
I'm working on the industry set (still... in fact "working" is probably not quite true, as I haven't had any time in the last 2 months, but hoping to get some more in the new year). I agree with kieron on the open source - graphic consistency is one of the big problems with the standard pak128 set and I don't want that to be a problem with PakBritain.
So yes, the project is still going on, only it's about as fast as a speeding snail... ;-)
But PAK128 is not OpenSource ....
Maybe it will be one day soon... (hopefully ;-) )
It will be open source. But there's no scheduled date yet. Still some permissions needed, I guess...
