[Done] 5Dim's Trains

[McGuten]

Hey guys

I need graphics for 6 wagons, wagon active, wagon pasive, wagon storage, wagon requester, wagon laser turret and wagon gun turret.

Actually I use that images


And I need other 6: with item (logistic chest or turret).

• Logistics chest: I need in the back contain a logistic chest (4)
• Wagon turret: I need in the back (half wagon) with nothing for put a turret (dont need texture for turrets i put it on code) (2)

Colors or model do not care

Thanks you all for help.

If you have a question, post here and I will help you

i wanted for a long time makeing some train-stuff but never had a good reason.

so here my suggestions

blank as construction-base - 150% ingame-size - i personal prefer the shorter ones to add more difference into the game


short army-wagon ... with my gun-turrets looks working, needs tested with ingame-turrets - and it's space to run cables for laser-turret


short-chest-wagon - i can't decide which one looks better, needs a ingame-verification - and mybe should the cargo-bay higher

[McGuten]

amazing, awesome!
it looks so good!!

I like the standard size with color wood.
And the wagons, if you can and you have time could you do both (black and white) with details in various colors for future projects? (apart from red, yellow, purple and blue) I.E. green, orange... etc
I dont care time

Thanks you so much!

first picture first wagon is 10x3 tiles = vanilla wagon
all others are 7x3 tiles = shorter version
10v needs 3 shutter instead. (black/white) - long/short versions ?
flatbed for gun-wagon as long/short or reinforced ?

i need to ask before i make the renderings, each version contains 128 pics, so i do not want a mistake.
(i post later a ingame-view for size-comparsion and how it looks)

Mod sounds super useful and those pictures amazing dude!

10x3 all

[YuokiTani]

i was wrong with the size ... orginal 7x2 ... so i switched to this

i suggest you use Sitches in compat-mode to get 4x4 or 8x8 sheets and combine them later to what you want. should be working because all single-frames in 256x256.

for testing Weapon.zipCWhiteRed.zipCBlackYellow.zip - you need to make sheets with stitches or better program.

preview (ingame-size)


what cargo-chest-variant to do you want for your mod ? from this i make all colors then.

[McGuten]

looks so good ingame!

Which you were done is enought, Odin can change the colours

Tanks you so much!

[YuokiTani]

okay - then happy modding ...
i'am curious how it looks ingame - i will definitly try your mod.

[YuokiTani]

i have use the wagons ingame - but i see some improvments ^^
so i made it ...

standard-cargo, robo-wagon, laser-wagon



sheets *.zips
Standard Robo Laser

also i love the wagons too much, so i render a bigger image to make a wallpaper for me.
here is a clean variant, so you can make your wallpaper (click for big)

how i make this pics is shown in a video.

[orzelek]

Now only thing we need is native support for roboport wagon and turret wagon so we don't need fake objects placed around

Wow, that looks amazing! You are an artist
I will include in next release

Hahahahaha
I hope factorio include it soon...

[YuokiTani]

i have a question ^^
because ingame-locomotives runs on coal - and i don't like the original locomotive i attempt to make a new one. would you include this locomotive in your mod ?
(i also plan a adequate diesel- and electro- locomotive - but more older and american style )

rusty and clean looks like


test-pics different angle and rust ^^ - size is correct

Looks so awesome, you are my hero!!

But I have a question about wheels, how wheels work when locomotive is moving?

But I have a question about wheels, how wheels work when locomotive is moving?

i can make them move, but i'm not sure if factorio allow this. but maybe its like the tank-tracks or gun-turrets.
if it's not working this way i would cover half of the wheels and make a more streamline-look like the mallard.
the original-locomotive has 256 directions i would go with 128 or 64 ... and possible are 8 frames per line = 8 sheets at 64 directions ^^.

what do you think ?

Factorio dont allow it, And yes, when you give me images i use http://draeton.github.io/stitches/ for make 8 spritesheet 4x4 = 128 images
And the locomotive is sooo cool, i like it, i add on my mod, for sure ^^

8 frame sample - its a bit rough and not correct but works


which one like you more rusty or clean ? - or some color-variant ?

But i cant add on factorio :/

I think is better cover half wheels and a i need both locomotive, rusty for coal locomotive and clean for electric locomotive.

Anyway that looks so good!

i have a better electric locomotive in my opinion, but still need some work.
but steam is usable

I'm no expert (as will be made clear ), but I've wanted to model the steam piston wheel assembly from old locomotives for some time. Some things that I think will help your model:
- The eccentric rod should only have one pivot other than it's attachment to the wheel and should be attached to the wheel at 90 degrees from the piston attachment - correction: my sketch oversimplified this - http://trumpetb.net/loco/rodsr.html - its still attached at 90 degrees (and phased at 90 degrees, not 180) but the eccentric rod needs to account for the vertical translation to the valve box - nevermind, carry on
- the tie rod should be connected directly to the piston wheel attachment (no reason to transfer all that stress through the first wheel)
- the piston assembly should have a guide. Otherwise, the cylinder would need to keep the piston rod from shifting vertically at it's first pivot which would cause a huge maintenance issue.

I don't have anything for the reversing rod or shifting mechanism, but those are detail items that would be hard to see at this scale anyhow.

I think rusty is predominant for Factorio.

Thank you for the great graphics!
