Gondola Construction & Steel v1.4.1

Description
Patches stock gondola cars to be able to carry Construction Materials and Steel in addition to their usual cargo types.

If Industry DLC mod (or the older "New Industry" mod) is loaded (before this mod) then this mod will also allow Gondola / Open Wagon cars to carry logs (pulpwood) for more efficient (and realistic) Logs -> Wood Powder -> [paper mill] raw material supply for Paper production chain (you still need Boxcars to carry the finished Paper); as well as Aluminum for Bauxite->Aluminum production chain.

You can use the vanilla gondolas for your stone-construction lines, and your other gondolas for coal/ore/etc.

so what is the solution or am i just an unlucky case

Yes, I meant the mod load order.
Note that this mod only affects vanilla gondolas, due to the nature of having cargo models visible. Any modded gondolas will be unchanged.

the two gondola mods i have installed are 60ft gondolas and coal/ore hopper. also when you say "loaded after" do you mean the numbering system that show the order in which some one has enabled them. in that case this mod is at the end of the order.

Do you have other mods that add gondolas or cargo types to the game? If so this mod needs to be loaded after them to have effect. Note that this mod does replace the vanilla gondola vehicles with modified version, so any other mods that also replace the vanilla gondolas will break this if loaded after this mod.
Where are you checking for cargo types? If you look in a rail depot like you're going to purchase a gondola would be the best place to check for what cargo types are enabled for that car.

@SoftwareSimian, Thanks for clarifying. I completely agree.

@vitalii201: sorry, I don't understand what you're asking? The open wagons should now be able to carry Logs and Wood Powder for the production of Paper. They cannot (and will not) carry the finished product Paper: Paper should be carried in a closed boxcar / goods wagon -- in real life you wouldn't carry paper outside where it is subject to the weather.
Sorry if my comment from 2019-Jan-27 was misleading.

Thanks for Al, but "-> Paper" is now, just like in the previous screenshot - no. https://i.imgur.com/W9Z1qCl.jpg

v1.4.1 - 2019-03-15
* if IndustryDLC enabled, add Aluminum as a possible cargo type, allowing Bauxite-Aluminum production chain
