NL Modular Station TF2

NL Modular Station TF2

I’m proud to release the first version of a set of station modules I’ve been working on for quite a while. I’ve had to overcome many technical hurdles to get it all to work, but I’m very happy with the result. This pack is jam-packed with features, so let me list them off:

Features:

– Adaptive Platforms; These platforms know whether there’s a track next to them or not and will update their graphical appearance to reflect this.
– Station Names and Platform Numbers; just like with the vanilla platforms, the station name and platform numbers will be displayed dynamically.
– Higher, Wider; the vanilla platforms that came with the game were rather low and far from the track; these platforms are much higher and get close to the tracks
– Station Buildings Still Work; because these platforms are higher than the vanilla ones, I had to create a system that spawns in a set of stairs to bridge the height between the buildings and the platforms.
– Dynamic Overpasses; as if adaptive platforms weren’t enough, I’ve created an overpass system that automatically creates bridges between placeable stair modules. You can build overpasses across multiple tracks, across other platforms – even across demolished platforms (I like building a road in the empty space).
– Addon modules; apart from the overpasses, there are a few other addon modules you can place – an underpass (which works with the underpasses from the vanilla platforms) and a set of ticket machines.

Words of Warning:

– This mod is relatively experimental; use at your own risk.
– Put other track mods (like CommonAPI2) before it in the load order

Updates:

– 1.2 – Added roofs, stairs side entrance and support for terminus stations
– 1.3 – No longer overrides vanilla files and should be compatible with other mods

Will there be more?

Besides wanting to get terminus stations to work, I’ve got plenty of ideas for future additions, such as double-wide platforms, additional buildings etc. I don’t know if I’ll have the time to make all of it a reality – so no promises!
