безполезный мод, цыфры показывает выше стандартных, но это только цифры. а когда поезд начинает движение и едет на ровном отрезке пути, скорость стандартная.

Useless mod, the figures show higher than the standard, but they are only figures. and when the train starts to move and goes on a flat section of track, the speed of the standard.

@softwareSimian. Here the mod is also working again. Thx for the update

No problem

I'm just glad everything works fine.

Glad to hear it's working now. Thanks for your debugging help.

@SoftwareSimian

Tested it and worked fine.
From what you're saying this mod(my guess the locomotive-variant) was giving me problems;

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=809376482

v1.1.2 - 2019-11-15
* hotfix some possible crashes for some fake rail vehicles that have null engines entry

@Sterben: it looks like you're using some kind of mod (perhaps a locomotive-as-asset of some kind) that has locomotive entries that have an engine, but with null data in the entry. Can you please let me know which mod(s) gives these files so I can examine them?
res/models/model/vehicle/train/twindexx_w1.mdl
res/models/model/vehicle/waggon/Fake_verbandswagen_v2.mdl

I've pushed a best-guess hotfix that may solve the problem, but I can't test the fix without having something that causes it to break.

@SoftwareSimian;
This is literally what shows up everytime I start a game with this mod ON;

File: res/models/model/vehicle/train/twindexx_w1.mdl

This error is usually caused by modding. The syntax of some game resources is not correct.

And this is what shows up at the end of stdout.txt;

@Sterben: again, can you please be more specific? Do you get an error message? Please copy-paste the crash reason given at the end of
\Steam\userdata\<steamid>\446800\local\crash_dump\stdout.txt

Looks like the mod in combo with the wagon version is not doing well.

@tomdesch: It's possible I missed something, please post the crash reason, either from the popup crash report or copy-paste the last few lines from
\Steam\userdata\<steamid>\446800\local\crash_dump\stdout.txt

Fun mod, but since the update my game keeps crashing. Is there any way to go to the old mod?

v1.1.0 - 2019-11-14
* add ScaleLocoPower option to scale Tractive Effort inversely to the change in maximum speed
v1.1.1 - 2019-11-14
* hotfix some possible crashes for certain rail vehicle types

@MinenSuchSchnuller: Not a bad idea. I have added a new ScaleLocoPower option that scales Tractive Effort inversely to speed (slower = more tractive, faster = less tractive).

Think Slower Locomotives needs more kN looks like a simulated lower gearbox translation :)

@SoftwareSimian Thanks for the response.

@Old Soldier: There is no differentiation between locos that pull cargo vs locos that pull passengers so it's not possible to filter them differently. However, the speed/cost of a train is based on its slowest component, so if you limit the speed of your freight wagons (using the Wagon Speed Adjusted linked above) and leave your passenger cars unlimited then you will achieve your goal.

@Omron360: yes, the screenshot does illustrate an SD40-2 set to an explicit speed of 567km/h

Hm, is it correct that on the right side the SD40-2 has a top speed of 567 km/h?

Can this be applied to individual locos, or must it limit all locos across the board? I'd like to slow down my freight trains but leave my high speed passenger rail unaffected. Possible with this mod?
Nice work in any case. Well done. I never could figure out why my cargo was always giving me such trouble.

Nevermind

Not even hidden

But there is no such file on windows 8.1

@SoftwareSimian Nevermind I got it figured out. Thanks anyway for the help, I know I wasn't very clear. Love the mod, cheers!

@flegare01: just open mod.lua with your favorite text editor, like Notepad.

@SoftwareSimian It's the part where I have to change the values that confuses me. How do I even open the mod? I opened it as text using a browser, explorer I think, but I couldn't change any values.

@flegare01: There are three settings at the top of the file and I thought they were reasonably well-documented (and too long to copy-paste here). I'm not sure what's not clear?

The default setting scales all locomotives to 50% of their stock speed. You can adjust RelativeMaxSpeed to a different percentage.
OR, you can set AbsoluteSpeed to make ALL locomotives have the same max speed, no matter what their default speed.
OR, you can set AbsoluteMaxSpeed as an upper speed limit: faster locomotives will be limited, slower ones will not be increased.

What are you trying to do?

So I'm a total noob and I actually don't know how to adjust the settings, I started working on a new free game and I'm slightly annoyed that all the trains go half speed. How do I adjust that? I found the lua script quite easily but I don't know what to do with it.

Nevermind. It working :) It's just took a few moment before I recognized that the speed changed.

Do you have tested the mod recently? When I tested this mod for a couple of months ago, it's worked perfect. But I just tried it again now, and I don't see any effect to the trainspeed in-game now :(
I found that I need to decrease the speed of the cargo-trains in the Fraser-Thompson-map to do it possible to transport oil and fuel.

how can i make the trains faster?


(sorry I couldn't resist lol; nice mod!)

@b18j04: did you not read my reply?

@Softwaresimian where i can make the trains faster?

@b18j04: If for some reason you want trains to go faster (not the intent of the mod, but it should work), you can set the scaling to something greater than 1.0 if you want them to all be scaled up proportionately, or you could in theory set a fixed top speed that would apply universally to all locomotives. Prices will increase accordingly, of course.

how i can make the trains faster?

Ok. Looks like a compelling theory. Good resources are welcome!

Nice Map, BTW :)

@SoftwareSimian is correct with the maximum price save for "(for trains this is determined by the locomotive)" which should be replaced by (for trains this is determined by the slowest max speed of a vehicle in the consist) I believe.


Therefore it might be an idea (just thinking) for getting a modded brake van or caboose that you could place in the consist to limit speed of the train but this is an aside.

Assuming the below is accurate, then fast trains actually work against you; slower trains will have a larger range. And frequency is not important either (for cargo anyways). For example, in testing my Fraser-Thompson Canyon map (which has industries spaced far apart) I set up a cargo train in 1850 with a locomotive going 40km/h and a frequency of 53 minutes, and it worked fine.

Others on the forum may know better than I, but as I understand it for cargo (not sure if it applies to "cheap" passengers) the cargo has a money budget to get to its destination (which increases over the years as transport becomes more expensive in modern times). The cost of the journey is calculated as the straight-line distance between origin and destination, multiplied by the cost-per-km for the line (visible under the Vehicles tab on the line info window). Cost-per-km is dependent on the speed of the vehicle (for trains this is determined by the locomotive). I don't think anything other than speed affects cost-per-km.

The above is my understanding, if someone can point to some definitive information that either confirms or contradicts the above I'd be interested.

What is the limiting factors for long-range transport? I ram into constraints, but i always assume it is the"as the crow flys" distance betwenn producer'/consumer. Fast trains and decnd frequncy/Cargo wait time are the key here, i thought anyway...

I created the mod, for my own purposes, with the intention of limiting locomotives to lower speeds, not increasing the speed. You can, of course, configure the mod however you like.

Higher speed is useless without more HP/Kw

It will affect all locos, vanilla or mods.

Only for vanilla locs?
