PS. Guys, is someone working on E632 "Tigre"? Because I wanted to make it but if someone started to work on it I'll change program. I need time (a lot of time) to fix ALn668, I've made something wrong during the modeling of the interiors

Go ahead, pal!

UIC models are by definition international

a repaint is all you need for 99% of carriages (which had me thinking: repaint of UIC cargo when?)

For the Ale724 I intend to make 2 models, one with the "Navetta" livery and one with XMPR and updated air conditioning unit on the roof (it's basically a box).

So, surprise announcement!

Apparently the Ale660 is so botched that it's beyond repair and I need to redo it completely.

I may have chosen a train which shapes are too difficult for me at the present time. That's why I present you my new project: the Ale724! This 1980s EMU is way easier to make, and it's a glorious memory from my childhood (I rode one of the last ones before they were disbanded).

Work is going super fast and I've made in a week the same progress I've made in a month a year ago.

Thanks to RaptorArk for giving me precious info and help so far!

(screenshots of the work done so far included)

I've seen on the site fondazioneFS that many stations used to be standardised, so we could develop some standardised pieces to mix and match them and make different stations

But that's later in my to-do list.

I've got some photos of the DIA.MAN.TE. that happened to be in Turin one day: ask me if you need some!

I wanted to put that one but i preferred this, ahahah. I don't know: do you think that the older one is better?

It's only for diversity, those have been running for ages

More repaints = more fun!

When you'll be done, will I have the authorisation to put the 1995-2007 version of the logo? The really really ugly one blue and green

wooooww!! Very nice indeed, you can ask him if you can publish it as a REPAINT, be sure to include his name in your mod and a link to the original model, so that everyone can use it!

I think we can upload the links to DMA mods here. The rules here say this:

Links to downloads are allowed. However, the programs must be 100% legal! However, tools and modifications created by you belong in the download area. Links to file hosters or pages that copy against legal regulations or our content are prohibited.

Obviously if DMA is allowing such things on it's side. It doesn't tell about links to and from other sites.

Also, "Corporate identity" came only in 1995 with the introduction of the XMPR livery.

I'm moderating myself here

Let's rephrase it: it's for "diversification"

aw c'mooooonn

It's for realism's sake!

eheh! I've had some ideas about small stations, but for now I'd like to focus on trains.

Apparently some stations were designed with a "copy&paste" idea in mind, like the smaller ones on the Torino-Savona line. In fondazionefs.com in the "archive" section there are the drawings of ALL the stations built, including the one that have been demolished.

For city buildings, for now I think that the game's ones are fine. Era 2 (1930-1990) and 3 (1990 - infinite) buildings are quite similar to ours, we may only need some different building in era 1 (1850 - 1930).

Now that the buffers are complete, I'll work on the Ale660 and finally finish it for good

My mod is finally ready! Check it out here: Italian Buffers (TPF2 Version)

from wikipedia the difference is only referred to the interiors and power intake (25 kV vs swiss 15kV)

What's wrong with the E402? Is it difficult to operate? Difficult to maintain?

...i like it. At first I actually didn't like it but it grew on me.

I'm glad to hear that.

Thursday evening I'll release the buffers mod (finally!) and I'll continue the Ale 660 project.

Then I'd like to focus on the E402B and one other loco (such as the E632 "Tiger"). This is the plan for now, see you later!

Actually quite soon™

My mod is going to be soon™ released too, I just need to scale the model a bit.

One question for the more experienced: what's the difference between the .con file and the .mdl file? In my opinion the first is related to the mod's interaction with the game, while the latter is more related to the mod's positioning in the space and relationships between it's pieces (mesh - texture - materials etc.).

I guess it's possibile, you have to record some ambient sounds and put them in place of the original one. Just don't overdo it as it might be very annoying

Maybe you could record a very crowded train station... But there aren't right now anyway😅

Orcamadò indeed, I've used it since day one to help me rotate the thing (damn me, next time I'll model it upright directly).

The code is like this:

function data()
return {
    boundingInfo = {
        bbMax = { 2.33492, 1.64363, 2.21681, },
        bbMin = { -3.32698, -1.54916, -1.03894, },
    },
    collider = {
        params = { },
        transf = { 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, },
        type = "MESH",
    },
    lods = {
        {
            node = {
                children = {
                    {
                        materials = { "railroad/IRBMaterial.mtl", },
                        mesh = "railroad/IRB.msh",
                        transf = { 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, },
                    },
                },
                transf = { 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, },
            },
            static = false,
            visibleFrom = 0,
            visibleTo = 700,
        },
    },
    metadata = { },
    version = 1,
}
end

as you can see there are 3 transformation matrices, what I should do?
