New Jersey Transit Bi-Level Cars for OpenBVE

[rodman1993]

Hello! I am trying to make the Bi-Level Cars from NJT (New Jersey Transit) for OpenBVE...but i need the MSTS's author's permission...(do i? i think i do...) Can anyone contact Robert Thompson? I can't find a link to him anywhere.

P.S. I'm new to making object files, so the external view looks horrible...but I tried...I need permission so u can see what i mean...also it would be nice if (a) OpenBVE can support MSTS .s files, or (b) there is a MSTS .s file to BVE .csv or BVE .x file converter anywhere out there...but that's just me...

forget it! he's no longer on this site for reasons I won't go into. You're best bet is to build your own model. Good Luck!

ok...another question...when i try to run the objects on OpenBVE, it says that the file extension on one of the three files I made is not supproted. The file is a .CSV, the images are all 24-Bit .BMP's, and the the other two files work fine...if some can look at my code and find a problem...thanx...

Forget it...I got it...It works perfectly now...

Now, the ALP-46 is a locomotive that is based on the BR101 in Germany. So, I repainted the BR101 to look somewhat like the ALP-46, but the control panel is still the same...If I can't find any pictures for the control panel of the loco., then i would have to, unfortunately, use the BR 101 panel...so i might need the author's permission.

1. The object file is from the Berlin S75 route.
2. The panel is from whoever made the BR 101.

They might be the same person, they might not. can anyone help? Thanks!

Yep, It's Martin Finken. He's still out there, but only develops now for Loksim..

Maybe you can try to contact him here:
http://www.loksimulatoren.de (this is the official Loksim forum, if you register and try to send him a PM you might get in touch with him.. his username is MartinFinken)

Ok. I finished everything...hard to find a route suitable for it...but here are some pictures...

First-Fourth: Cab car
Fifth: Coach car

Please give me some feedback...and note...this is the FIRST TIME I've ever made a .csv object file...so it might not be as impressive as you may expect...but I did my best...

With the Locomotive file, the ALP-46, I will talk to Mr. Finken.

Also...the name of the train is the Bombardier Multilevel Push-Pull Commuter Car, not Bi-Level...sorry...

You borrowed the MSTS textures, didn't you? Not that it matters, the author can't yell at you for it.

[captain82]

You need to talk to robert thompson about using his multilevel textures!

[rodman1993]

But you said there's no way to contact him...how can i do that?

You can still PM him.

Is there a way I can put it into an actual train file and it actually works? I've been waiting for ages for a multilevel train to come out.
