Okee,

After a few tries an 2 hours later, I managed to repaint the trolleybus.

Not completly happy yet, but it is something.

So I encountered two problem:

1. The doors are in a file for multiple trolleys. So if i change one, I change them all.
Is it possible to have a seperate file for the trolleybuses? and please explain how.

nevermind I decided to make all doors black, so i don't have the problem. Also it's closer to a real trolleybus.

2. I can't seem to find the dds file for the inside of top (this is white in the picture below).

nevermind I found the file.

3. Lights are not working anymore, don't understand because I only colored the dds file? (big issue for me)

4. I want (to make) the edges on topsides also going to the front. Tried it with Blender and Merk's plug in, but Blender is saying it is missing or has a wrong field in the .msh files?

5. I also would like the lose the top edges, same problem with blender.

Hope somebody can help me with this.

The trolleybus in the current situation.

I added the dog, busnumber, colored the roof and colored more of both sides (didn't like the black).

Hello again,

So I colored the mini-models in the ui file to have the trolleybuses match in the tramdepot when you buy a vehicle.

I also tried on my own to solve the light problem and I still don't know what is exactly wrong with it.

However when I tried to copy the new file into the original mod, the lights start working, how can this be?

(be aware the doors are not in the right color in the first picture)

Also I renamed all the files and al the codes in the .mtl files.

Now I can have both mods active without any problems

I'm still hoping someone can help me with the following problems:

1. Lights are not working anymore, don't understand because I only colored the dds file? (big issue for me)

2. I want (to make) the edges on topsides also going to the front. Tried it with Blender and Merk's plug in, but Blender is saying it is missing or has a wrong field in the .msh files?

3. I also would like the lose the top edges, same problem with blender.

4. At a later time I would like to have the possibility to have a group in the buying menu, how can i make this happen?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm using the original file, but I think I know now what the cause is of the problem,
The original has a loose addon package, if I remove this the light stops working in the original mod.

I now have to figure out how to add this to my model...

New problem is that the door sound is not working, think i need to compare the files with the original bus (trolleybus is also not working in the original).

Yes, yes, got the sound of the doors working!! thanks for the link Bauer33333!
In addition i didn't like the sound when the trolleybus ws driving, so I also added a real trolleybus soundset.

This models is not original for TPF2 maybe for TPF1 or even TF, so I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Thanks, this is very helpfull, didn't know that this site existed.

Hello all,

The problems I currently discovered/facing are:

1. Lights won't work (front and back) this is also the case in the orginal mod if the addon mod is not installed.
I managed to get the light to work, however my mod on its own only has white light front and back, with the normal mod no light and with the addon from the original mod it's work fine.
However I don't want to have a dependency from another mod.

Fixed it, needed to rewrite to whole code, but now it works without any dependencies:-)

2. front wheels won't turn.

And slighter problems:

3. The trolleybuses don't make the turn very realistich in the original mod, the dieselbuses do, how can I make this happen for the trolleybuses to?
I can't just copy paste the code because of the difference between road and rail vehicle

4. I want (to make) the edges on topsides also going to the front. Tried it with Blender and Merk's plug in, but Blender is saying it is missing or has a wrong field in the .msh files?

5. I also would like the lose the top edges, same problem with blender.

Hope someone can help me, I invested a lot of time but sadly can't discover the problems

If it helps i can send you the mod.

Thanks!

Below a screenshot of the improved and repainted Solaris trolley,

Hello all,

I still hope somebody can help me with my repaints?

I can't redress the following problems:

1. Front wheels won't turn (is this because the code is a tram?).

2. The trolleybuses don't make the turn very realistich in the original mod, the dieselbuses do, how can I make this happen for the trolleybuses to?

I can't just copy paste the code because of the difference between road and rail vehicle. I also experimented with Fakebogies but no luck

3. I want (to make) the edges on topsides also going to the front. Tried it with Blender and Merk's plug in, but Blender is saying it is missing or has a wrong field in the .msh files?

4. Last door on only the 15m trolley has a gap. Can't acces Blender see above.

5. I also would like the lose the top edges, same problem with blender.

This problem I solved by using the mesh of the Urbino dieselbus.

Furthermore a small update for the Trollino 18m (can you guess from which City?):

And the original with the repaint.

Hello Marcolino,

I will check again thanks!

Next repaint:

And another one ready.

Thanks,

I'm planning to make a pack of different repaints.

Once I finish that, I will release the trolleybuses in the Steam workshop.

Hello,

Sadly the GVB doesn't have Trolleybuses:-(

But will have a look to add them in TPF2.

Esslingen is definitely on my list.

Been there a few times myself:-)

Please keep in mind they didn't really had this type of Solaris trollino.

Only the trollino metrostyle and the fourth generation trollino.

Next one ready:-)

Something off topic,

MSBasti added the Ikarus 260 trolleybus to the steam workshop:
