pak.german-exp is now available for download

The first Version of the pak.german-exp scenario for Simutrans Experimental is now available for download.

http://simutrans-germany.com/pak.german_exp/download.php?d=pak.german_exp.20382.7z

Your help is required: Please report any bugs or problems to me (via this forum).

All features required to play the game are implemented:
All p****enger trains, airplanes, ferries and busses have different comfort rating and loading times. Push-Pull trains are faster at reversing and three tilting trains (namely Pendolino, new ICE-T and ICE-TD) can travel around corners at higher speeds than other trains.

The following functions will be added to future releases of the pak:
  • Overcrowding capacity for vehicles (busses, trams, urban rail)
  • A new cost system with monthly costs for every vehicle
  • A more distinctive comfort-system
  • Weight limits
  • Journey time tolerance

Since there have been no changes to the pak other than the vehicles, everything included in the standard-pak should be available to you. However, some experimental features are changing the behavior of the game. When the games creates a new map, no rivers are created for some reason (I don't know why). But you should be able to build canals.
See my post below.

From main simutrans config/simuconf.tab:
Code: [Select]
# now river stuff
# first river type (should be defined in pak dependent file)
# The highest number is the smallest. A river with max_speed==0 is not navigavable by ships.
#river_type[0] = river
#river_type[1] = small_river
#river_type[2] = just_the source
From pak64 pak/config/simuconf.tab
Code: [Select]
# rivers:
# The highest number is the smallest. A river with max_speed==0 is not navigavable by ships.
river_type[0] = river
river_type[1] = river2
From openpak128/config/simuconf.tab
Code: [Select]
river_type[0] = river_00
river_type[1] = river_01
river_type[2] = river_02
river_type[3] = river_03
river_type[4] = river_04
From pak128.britain/config/simuconf.tab
Code: [Select]
river_type[0] = River3
river_type[1] = River2
river_type[2] = River1
river_type[3] = River0

See? You should define it too.
And use different image for canal. It is same as for river.

added this on simuconf.tab

Code: [Select]
# now river stuff
# first river type (should be defined in pak dependent file)
# The highest number is the smallest. A river with max_speed==0 is not navigavable by ships.
river_type[0] = river
river_type[1] = river2
river_type[2] = fluss_quelle

# start with 16 (looks nice on not too large maps)
river_number = 16

# river min length (not too short)
river_min_length = 20

# river max length (not too long?)
river_max_length = 512

Thanks for the hint. I accidentally forgot the rivers when merging the original simuconf.tab files with the one for Simutrans Experimental. This "bug" will be fixed with the next release. Meanwhile, you can add the following code to the simuconf.tab (inside the config folder from this pak) file to enable river creation:
Code: [Select]
# rivers:
# The highest number is the smallest. A river with max_speed==0 is not navigavable by ships.
river_type[0] = river
river_type[1] = river2
river_type[2] = fluss_quelle

# start with 16 (looks nice on not too large maps)
river_number = 16

# river min length (not too short)
river_min_length = 20

# river max length (not too long?)
river_max_length = 512

Hi mopoona,

I have a few questions regarding your pakset (please bear with me as I haven't had the time to test it myself yet - if you think a question can be answered by just playing it, just say so ;))

- is it a 64 or 128 (bits/bytes?) set?
- did you base it on an existing pakset or is it a completely new development?
- are you planning to work towards a balanced set with regard to costs, revenues etc.?

The pak is based on the 64-tile pak.german for Simutrans Standard administrated by Frank. This Version of the pak will feature the same vehicles and buildings, but incorporate new features from Simutrans Experimental. The original pak has a pretty well balanced cost/revenue system. I would say it is the best. But the new comfort levels, catering and other vehicle properties introduced by SE will require some adjustments.
