Looks amazing, but would like some vanilla shots as comparison

... for vanilla shots, there is always the store page. I am currently using the main games files for testing LODs at the moment, but I can revert back to vanilla and try to get some comaprisons.

Stay tuned. Okay done.

One question, how is this packaged for the Workshop? Nvm, the first package is up on the Workshop.

Additional Mods:
Seperate mods for Terrain and Tracks. Now you can 'mix and match'!! Just remember that you can only have one Track texture mod active at a time, otherwise it may crash your game.

A Sunset mod. Nothing but an early evening sunset. Light direction has been moved to create longer shadows and the "fog" color changed to match the sky.

A mod to enable 'reversed' diesel and electric Locomotives for USA locomotives. There is a mod for European locomotives on trainfever.net, titled "All Vanilla locomotives backwards" (translated), but it doesn't have the vanilla USA locomotives?

Someone asked about that:

Hi, I was waiting for someone smarter than me to create a mod that flips the engines in TF, and I was delighted to find out that someone did it, however it appears that this only reverses the Vanilla European locomotives. Is this a bug or just not implemented? Thanks.

MeckiBoy -Jan 1st 2017

No, it is not a bug. I have to create a file for each engine. And if you dont have that particular mod installed when using the mod your game will crash. But if you want to flip your locomotives and learn how to, feel free to contact me.

Uh, yes, I wasn't aware that the USA set was an additional mod, mine shipped with the game. And no, you don't need to contact him, it is a very simple task. You need to create a simple LUA file that tells the program to display the particular locomotive backwards:

function data()
return {
vehicles = {
{ name = "vehicle/train/usa/alco_hh600.mdl", forward = false },

},
name = _("ALCO HH 600 Reversed"),
desc = _("The ALCO HH series were an early series of switcher diesel-electric locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York.")
}
end

You have to use the name of the .mdl file of the locomotive you want to reverse, or it won't work. They are generally placed in the "Multiple Unit" tab of the purchase screen and have the same characteristics of the forward facing locomotive.

Is this mod meant to work well with curved stations? As ATM curved stations got an different texture compared to vanilla stations so when I add your mod the brown pattern along the tracks on uneven freight stations becomes choppy instead of continuous.

Hmmm, not sure what is happening there as I haven't seen that yet. The rail and ballast textures are use by everything in the game that uses rails, but it may be the LODs that are causing some issues.

Is it apparent when you zoom in and out, or at a particular zoom level?
... do you mean the white textures for curved stations with odd numbers of track? That is the station model:

even number with high speed tracks:

I may need to see a screen shot of what you are describing to pinpoint what is happening.

Hi, I really like the textures of this mod, it's a great enahncement and I always use it whenever I play! A comment I'd make though- but I don't know if anyone else finds this- that the way the sleeper textures repeat when you look along the line into the distance it repeats the colours in such a way as it distorts it. I noticed that the vanilla doesn't do this? It spoils the mod a little bit and I wonder if it's something that might be fixable? That said- maybe it's something wrong with my game!! I really like the mod and as I said it still improves the game enormously! Thanks! I'll post up a picture!

I have noticed this too.

The mod uses the original textures, but alters the colors and LODs used for them, with the drawback being that pattern repitition is more noticeable. I will look into correcting the LODs for the DDS textures.

Any progress on the Lod correction?
