Good morning to all fans. I'm the one who did the beta version of the Iginia ferry (available here in this forum). After releasing the final version (but I would like to begin and prepare for that) I wish to create a "ferry port" suitable for it that has at least the following characteristics (to make the ferry MOD "Iginia" similar to the service carried out at the Strait of Messina by the real ships):
1) The ship lands at the bow port and starts again (at least for a few moments before reversing the direction) to reverse;
2) The port is therefore adequate in shape to accommodate the forward ship and on the opposite side there is one (or more) railway connection(s);
3) From the rail connection(s) a train may arrive;
4) This train in the absence of the ferry must wait for its arrival;
5) If the ferry is present, the train will be boarded in the ferry;
6) Embarkation must take place at least from the point of view of storing the elements constituting the train taken in their correct order storing those inside string varibles owned by the ship itself;
7) The train could also be actually displayed inside the ferry (divided into 4 pieces, corresponding to the tracks of the ferry);
"8") When the ferry arrives at the same port on the opposite side of the sea, the newly transported train must be reassembled and restarted prosecuting its way;
9) If there was a train waiting after the previous train was unloaded this waiting train must in turn be loaded onto the ship to be brought back and so on (of course in port present on the opposite shore must be -possibly- the same MOD as the "ferry port", so that pairs of ferry ports can be connected to each other via normal "lines", example city-1 / ferry port-1 / ferry port-2 / city-2);
I would be very grateful if any of you could give me some "starting" info to begin this realization. Regards. Francesco.
