That car is playing GTA IV but the pedestrians are wiser NOT to walk

More disturbing is that you are overriding the default fire truck which fights fires and giving it only the ability to act as an ambulance.

I also got this issue in my drifitng AE86 and other self made cars I did but just move each car frame up and down and try to see if it fits the road nicely. Basically just trial and error.

Ye, actually.. the truck went for its safety.

What is the fifth frame of green car represent?
I spaced it 2 pixel on purpose, is it bad?

Anyway, I offset the truck by using the "v2" (I don't remember what its actually for) and it worked but I concern this is not the correct way.

Lol, I see a potato.

The fifth frame is only an error check.

Wait... what?

[Yakka]

Where is Diagonal car tutorial?

[JustAnyone]

Diagonal cars just use 8 instead of 4 frames.
4 for diagonal axis and 4 normally.

All you just need to do is specify "frames per variant": 8 attribute for the car drafts.

The following example is how diagonal firetrucks are implemented

Code: Select all    Reset

    "id":"$carfirebrigade00",
    "type":"car",

      {"x":512,"y":657,"w":32,"h":18,"count":4},{"x": 128,"y": 365,"w": 32,"h": 19,"count": 4,"offset y": 3072} // This array has 8 frames
    ],
    "frames per variant": 8, // We let the game know that we use 8 frames per variant, otherwise it would treat 8 frames as 2 separate variants 
    "animation":[
      {
        "id":"$animationcaralertlights00",

In regard to the order of frames it works the same like before for the first 4 frames (which will have different order when v2 is set to true). The next four, diagonal frames are always ordered like this:

Should the frame is same size as non diagonal cars one?

[yusuf8a684]

I think diagonal should be longer

[Yakka]

Can anyone provide an example for very long vehicle,like more than 22pixel in width,in this case i need a example for 1 tile long

[Patchouli Knowledge]

If count of car’s frame is 8,how to How do I draw a picture in this case？

[THEMAX]

If I want to add night animations to the diagonal variants of my trains, can I still use a v2 night animation frame like I did it before except it would be for 8 different frames or does it only work with 2 or 4 rotations ?

Diagonal cars have 8 frames, so you would add animations to each of them, so probably yes.

Will do some testing then.

I have done some tests and it indeed does not work, but with the update coming, it's now a requirement imo, and I cant afford the time to modify all my trains texture.

This would truly be of great help and reduce the workload BY A LOT also allowing me to update the railroad expansion plugin faster.
