Canadian Theme Pack - Road Vehicles [Discussion]Description :
The Canadian Road Vehicles module of the Canadian Theme Pack includes road vehicles only including trams/streetcars. Road Infrastructure is included in the Canadian Infrastructure Graphics module.
The initial release will contain all TTD 'original' road vehicles; they have been re-coded (without graphics). In addition it also contains the trams/streetcars from NARoads v1.1.
Credits :
Graphics by DanMacK and CharlieMTA (trams/streetcars); coding by OzTrans.
Features :
First, all these road vehicles are compatible with FIRS, ECS, Pikka Industries as well as the extended TTD industries that have been available with the earlier releases of CanRail/CanSet. Detection is automatic without player intervention. If CanRail can transport a particular cargo type, so can at least one road vehicle.
Further, the introduction dates have been adjusted. There are 3 (some have 4) generations of each road vehicle. Generally, the time frames, they are available in, has been set as follows :
1. late 1880's until 1960/70
2. mid 1950's until mid 1990's
3. mid 1980 onwards
This will make road vehicles available throughout a game, unlike the TTD 'original' road vehicles that become available from 1930 onwards only.
The remaining properties have mainly been left unchanged.
As for graphics, they are taken directly from the Base Graphics set (trg1r or OpenGFX) and are NOT included in this module.
Trams/Streetcars have been ported unchanged (including graphics) from NARoads v1.1.
