@Green Ranger - Have restored the .CON file from original, please let me know if you encounter any further issues.
Quince99  [author] 5 Feb, 2023 @ 5:06pm 
Thanks for the info Green Ranger, much appreciated. I've had reports of issues with the Beta, but am waiting till the update is rolled out in March to assess and see what changes need making. There were earlier issues with the Span parameter, where the small side building would take off another section of canopy roof (Hull, Manchester Piccadilly etc.) beyond the length covered by the building.

Much of the code was based on MadHatter's Generic UK Stations mod, which he very kindly did for me. I'll definitely investigate on my test maps, it may be that my local Staging Area mod has been done but I haven't updated the online version.

Hey! Love this mod, but I just wanted to give you a heads up - in the preconfigured stations, the main station building doesn't seem to update to the right facade colour (this happens on both regular and terminus stations)

There's also a bug where if you place multiple station buildings together, they aren't using the right end types, so the roof isn't continuous like it was in the vanilla one (and in earlier versions of this mod iirc). If you place a two vanilla buildings next to each other and then two of these, you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, really love this mod. Its a must-have on all my saves. Just wanted to point out these small issues. :)

Vielen Dank für Ihre Kommentare. Wenn das Spiel aktualisiert wird, warte ich normalerweise, bis das Update allgemein veröffentlicht wird, und nicht in der Beta-Phase. Auf diese Weise sind alle nachträglichen Änderungen, die während der Testphase vorgenommen wurden, eingearbeitet.

Moin,
Wäre es möglich die mod auch für die Beta Version (und somit am 9. März kommendes spiele update) zu updaten ? die Mod ist immer noch funktional, aber einige optische Fehler haben sich nun eingeschlichen, sodass zwischen den, Kleinen Bahnhof, und dem Bahnsteig mit Gleisen Würfel sind, sowie dass während dem bau, die Gebäude Größe sich nicht mehr anpasst an die große des Bahnhofes wie vorher.

(ob dies auch an den größeren bahnhöfen ist, sowie an Era B und C kann ich nicht sagen da ich im Wirtschaftlichen spiel erst 1914 bin)

Wow. This is amazing. Finally some variation! I can't wait to use both your's and MadHatter's mods together!
Oh, the only thing that would make Era A even better than it now already is is to have different architecture, but that would be an extra cherry on top of an already nice cake...

The Era C ones will be done once I’ve upgraded them like Eras A and B by adding gardens, planting, further benches, removal of excess lamps etc.

No problem - I am glad that this on the roadmap for this mod as well - take your time :)




Thank you for the appreciative comments, something that doesn’t happen much. Mod makers are often expected to incorporate a multitude of additional changes or alterations without any hint of gratitude. You’ve proven yourself to be one of the rare exceptions to that

I am also a mod creator (or should I say - one-mode creator :) ) and I totally agree here. You are spending your free time and energy on a free (i.e. non-paid) item and this is the only way I can repay you - by expressing gratitude :).

Thanks again.

Thank your Quince99 for the extra effort - the capacity issue for ERA A and B is now fixed - very much appreciated :)
If I may be so bold and ask you for a similar fix for ERA C but If you don't have time or the capacity to do it - then it's fine me :)
Quince99  [author] 26 Jun, 2022 @ 1:49am 
@petrus - Scripting issues with building capacity now rectified thanks to some judicious copy-and-paste technique.
Quince99  [author] 24 Jun, 2022 @ 3:51pm 
I've not made any changes since the previous users reported that the CTD due to an error in the capacity syntax had been resolved.

There seems to be adequate capacity on the platforms regardless, so if this isn't something I can easily sort out, then I shall just remove any building capacity from the refurbished station mods and people will have to live without it.
petrus 24 Jun, 2022 @ 2:13pm 
I am still experiencing the issue with the station buildings not adding the extra passenger capacity to the station.
Here are the steps I took:
- Verified the game files (I did a fresh install on a new SSD).
- Unsubscribed to all mods (2 times) - issue still occurs
- Created a new game with only the Era A, B, C mods to prevent unwanted interaction - issue still occurs
- Created a new game with only a single Era mod (ERA A) to prevent unwanted interaction between era mods - issue still occurs
- Placed a vanilla station and then added the building from your mod - Issue DOESN'T occur
- Placed your mod station and then added a vanilla building - issue still occurs.

I downloaded it again and it was cured. thank you
Quince99  [author] 14 Jun, 2022 @ 3:45am 
As far as I’m aware, any capacity errors have been rectified. Try unsubscribing and then downloading again in order to ensure you have the updated version.

That comes down to the fact that I hate the Era A platform-side benches, so was determined to replace them. There are no suitable double benches that would be stylistically appropriate so I tend to just live with the benches.
HLM 29 Apr, 2022 @ 11:00pm 
Looks like there's a bug on the orange brick version - the benches are rotated 90 degrees.

On all versions, the benches could be improved if you used a double sided bench like in era B, if such a prop is available. As it is now, the benches face away from the track, and if you only have 1 platform, that means they face the station wall.

Excellent work!

UK HEIGHT PLATFORMS
====================

For those of you who have asked for higher platforms, I'm pleased to announce that my good friend MadHatter has done the hard work for this with his scripting expertise.

Following finalising of UI items there will be some further testing and the station platforms should now accept non-vanilla tracks. MadHatter's UK standard and high-speed tracks work with the station variants and other mods should too.

The UK Height Platform mods for Eras A and B will be COMPLETE MODS, rather than addons to the existing ones. Thus, players can choose to use the vanilla-height platforms, or the UK-height ones, or both together.

UK-height platforms can be found in their own category in the station construction menu. They can also be identified by a union flag icon.

Era C stations are undergoing retexturing at present and will be released in both vanilla and UK height versions.
darththorpe 22 Apr, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
@quince99 this is with vanilla track types, just changing from unelectrified to to electrified high speed track. I do have some track mods in place so I'll go check none of them are causing issues. If not it's just a case of deleting the station and rebuilding it, luckily at the moment I only have some small stations, no 8 track behemoths :)
Quince99  [author] 22 Apr, 2022 @ 9:56am 
@darththorpe - I've tried the Era A stations and used standard, unelectrified track, I then used the Tools on the Track menu to electrify it and to convert to high-speed track. I also did the reverse of those changes and downgraded it. This was from outside view, not entering the Configure mode of the station itself.

I then went into Configure mode and was able to bulldoze the track segments without issue. It was then possible to replace the track with another type.

The only issues I came across were with track mods such as the UK standard or high-speed tracks with various speed limits applied to them.

For the time being, this issue remains, but MadHatter is helping with raising the platforms to UK height and adding steps between the raised platform surface and the station buildings' ground level. I'll ask him about track compatibility issues as well and will look to rectify this as soon as possible. For the time being, unfortunately, you're stuck with default track types - sorry.
Quince99  [author] 22 Apr, 2022 @ 8:37am 
I’ve based this mod on UG’s original and MadHatter’s UK Generics. I’ll check that mod as well before I start making changes.
darththorpe 22 Apr, 2022 @ 6:47am 
Hi, great mod which looks amazing. However I'm finding a problem when upgrading the track through the station. I have just been attempting to electrify the mainline through a couple of these stations and it doesn't change it through the station like it does with vanilla stations. When I go in to manually configure the station instead when I go to delete one section of track it wants to delete the whole station. Similarly if I try to add a track (or anything) to the edge of the station it again wants to delete the whole thing. No idea on the trigger for this as if I put a whole new station down it all works fine.
Quince99  [author] 19 Apr, 2022 @ 12:14am 
@gorter127 - When the new update is universally rolled out in May, I’ll reassess the MDL files and incorporate the new ones.
Sunshine 18 Apr, 2022 @ 11:44pm 
Looks great. Only i'am missing the new building capacities. Do you have plans too add them?
gordon.pilcher1 18 Apr, 2022 @ 6:05pm 
thanks for the info
Quince99  [author] 18 Apr, 2022 @ 9:11am 
@MrQuicko - I've had other requests like this from Discord and it's not something I know about or have done before. These are UG's original default platforms that I've retextured, nothing more complex than some colouring :-)

In terms of 3D modelling, what I know could be written on the back of a postage stamp with a 4-inch paintbrush!

What I will do - I have a couple of bridges to make a start on and Era C (not looking forward to that) - is look at Celmi's King's Cross platforms which I believe are at that height. If I somehow raise the surface of the vanilla platforms, there's a very real possibility they would be left floating above the ground.
MrQuicko 18 Apr, 2022 @ 7:16am 
Would you be able to make the platform height 960mm so i can put it on my UK map?
Quince99  [author] 16 Apr, 2022 @ 7:49am 
@briansyston - I wasn't going to set dress the stations just for a UK market. There are plenty of custom billboard mods - and it's easy to adapt your own from those - and tying a station to a country or time period by the use of advertising posters limits its appeal to players.

And really? Which sad case gave me a negative rating on this??? Someone who probably doesn't understand the first thing about mod making I suspect...
gordon.pilcher1 16 Apr, 2022 @ 12:39am 
Will it work with bigger stations I love then long platforms
briansyston 15 Apr, 2022 @ 6:14pm 
I was thinking more like adverts on the walls like Cadbury's and Brooke Bond Tea or are you just changing the wall colour ?
Quince99  [author] 15 Apr, 2022 @ 9:10am 
@briansyston - Do you mean for the platform numbers and station names? It's something I was looking at when I did the custom cast iron columns but left for the time being.

I'm currently starting with Era B and am looking to "lose" the station name signs totally as I feel they're just too big and bulky. There are a number of mods for signage available and I would expect people to use those where necessary.

When used in conjunction with the stations, the name boards - like the lamps and bins - are generated from a separate .MDL asset file, so an enamel-effect sign would need a custom model file for that to reference a different set of materials.

Thank You very much 👍
GrayFox 14 Apr, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
Thank You!
Quince99  [author] 14 Apr, 2022 @ 12:37pm 
@Batavius - Thank you for the award, am getting a small collection of them! The red brick is certainly close to Amsterdam CS. Perhaps with some suitably coloured towers from Joefried's Fortifications set you could add on some towers to the front?

@Jimbo_1977 - It'll be the Era B one LOOKING like Surbiton. I have zero 3D modelling skills to attempt to recreate it!
Jimbo_1977 14 Apr, 2022 @ 11:03am 
@Quince99 that's be good, surbiton is a nice building!
Batavius 14 Apr, 2022 @ 7:02am 
Beautiful, great work
The red brick one will fit nicely with a Dutch themed map.:megusta:


Award given. :story:
Quince99  [author] 14 Apr, 2022 @ 5:24am 
Thank you everyone for your kind words - much appreciated.

@Admiral Hipster - Given that it's taken over a year to get this mod done, you may be waiting for quite a while :-)

I'll look to have a go at Era B, but whilst the Art Deco style is fabulous, it's a very unique building (Helsinki) and I'm not too sure how well it would lend itself to different colour schemes. I did think about the white stone effect, with contrasting details, along the lines of the SR 1930s stations such as Surbiton.
tiger-uwe 14 Apr, 2022 @ 4:49am 
nice thank you
e452 14 Apr, 2022 @ 3:53am 
Cool, thank you very much.
Aurimas 14 Apr, 2022 @ 3:04am 
More colourful station is a must in this game, so glad you've posted this mod! Thanks!
Ratagão 13 Apr, 2022 @ 8:59pm 
Do you intend to do with the era B and C stations?
Quince99  [author] 13 Apr, 2022 @ 3:26pm 
These are just modular station parts - give me a break here, getting the scripting to work was a nightmare! ;-)
Jimbo_1977 13 Apr, 2022 @ 3:14pm 
Are there assets too?
Elymaïs 13 Apr, 2022 @ 2:05pm
