I've tested them one by one and i can replicate the exceptions.

And for example, the following train assets just work fine when spawned, they do not generate an exception:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=465105119
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=465102067

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=500984466
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581361285

I don't know what's going on, they worked fined up until last game patch.
Just wanted to mention the issue here and hoping that modders can find a solution.
The assets themselves are great!

In all instances, the output_log.txt contains the following message:
281,744ms | Simulation error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Currently, this asset as well as other train assets give an 'Object reference not set to instance exception' when they spawn.
Thus far, I've noticed the following assets generate this exception:

can you make the new version ? ng or what it is and could you retexture this one to new HD view ? would be very nice if its more shiny to fit the 4K screens and cities we can now have with all the mods then this old texture train looks not so nice. thanks

@luuk.serree Even later reaction is even later! Yeah, I still have it. Send me a friend request so I can DM you a link

@Tuna, do you also have that link for me? the VIRM in the pic of Somniatis looks great.

prop

@Somniatis Late reaction is late, but no, don't have the 6-car version. I sent a friend request to DM you a link to somewhere I can upload the model.

@Tuna, that would be aweseome, do you also have the 6 vehicle version as well?

Thanks in advance!

@Somniatis you mean this one? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/940592907848916284/BCED2AAF9366B0418BC7D0D881B7ED897AB3AAF0/
I still have it, could upload it somewhere for you.

I love the ViRMS and it seems this topic is somewhat dead

But if I recall you had another model, which was in my opinion closer to the real thing.
I'll give you a link to a model that someone glued together as 4+4 virm (eventhough they mainly do 4+6)

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=832837827&searchtext=virm
Do you still have these models? (they used to come in a 4 and a 6 version) but are no longer on the shop and I do miss them :x

Looks great.

Okay =)

@TURMOIL ASAP but the light beams (2 not 3 sadly) won't appear outside of the editor so I'm trying to fix that. Other than that it works as a charm right now

When are you planning on releasing it? (Or maybe like a beta)

@SNEAKnl I'll try my best but I've never done it before

will you release it in a pack containing 4 car,6car, 8 (double 4)car and props?

that thing looks rediculously awesome :O . good job man , cant wait :)

With "Vehicle Effects Mod" you are able to add a third light to a train (Not sure how to do it) but would be neat to see that on the VIRM aswell, and damn it looks really good man, 10/10 for you!

@SNEAKnl http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/153514738427115772/685FA78D4C97C2E9CBFD58104198294ECABC032C/ mostly polishing and fiddling with the lights now

hows progress so far?

@TURMOIL thanks, I hope I can solve it as soon as possible. I can definately say I have had troubles with getting models to work in skylines, but nothing like this.

Okay ^^ Take your time =)

@TURMOIL Well I hope as soon as possible sadly the middlecars I made for them for some reason only display the diffuse map and refuse to load the illumination and other textures I made for them. This is not the case on the driving car however which it works fine. I'm trying to resolve it now, but I have no idea how except for trying to use different image formats and checking the models for mistakes. I hope as soon as possible though.

When do you think it's ready? :3

@SNEAKnl yeah, i've been looking for that aswell, couldn't find anything ;p

if doubled as an 8 car someone should try to make platforms as props to visually extend them :P

http://imgur.com/a/9gZ97 Here is a picture as reference, the train going to "Den Haag" is 4x4.

Before you publish it, it would be good to make it a bundle like there was done with the "ICMm/Koploper", it would be nice if you make the standard 4 car version, 6 car version, and 4 car connected to another 4 car version, these are the most common driving around in the Netherlands. =)

@TURMOIL I hope somewhere this week

When are you releasing it? :3

that looks amazing!!! :O

@Zombiedragon Looks sweet man!

@SNEAKnl https://i.imgur.com/1TnfGAA.png ;p
Right now I'm tweaking it for import

very cool, didnt expect that at all.
looking forward to the release :)

@SNEAKnl oh i'll show you ;)
I made a brand new one without you even knowing. Expect a release soon.

dont think he can be arsed tbh, hopefully some other bad-ass modder can make a brand new one with all the new posibilities

I hope this will ever become AD...

so about that 6 car train. any hope of seeing it?

@zombiedragon, have you any idea how long it takes to add light to one of je VIRM models. We are waiting very long right now and it is the only train without any light. it is very ugly to see that in darkness

bump

bump

how is progress so far?

Looking forward to the lighted version as well.

Looking forward to the lights version!

cheers :)

@SNEAKnl Yes, I'm going to update the lightmap and some other textures aswell. Can't give an exact eta on that but I'll try and do it soon.

any chance of updating the lightmap for AD?

I really really love the look of teh VIRM cars, one of the best looking trains imho, thanks for making this!

Hehe grappig, bij mij rijdt de 6 versie al. Top werk man. Toch een opmerking; zou je de ramen een andere texture kunnen geven? Probeer eens zwart. Voor voorbeeld, bekijk de treinen van ron_fu-ta eens. En de kleuren lijken een beetje off. Te clean.
