[openBVE] Singapore Common Objects Dependency

  The openBVE Singapore Common Objects Dependency (OsCod) is basically a object folder, in which there are all standard tracks, viaducts, tunnel, and other common miscellanous objects.

  This allows developers to refer to objects in this compiled objects, whilst allowing any updates to objects to be applied, and that update to immediately take effect in all routes utilising this. This will also reduce the file sizes of the routes, and these common objects will not be be duplicated.

  Website: http://joeyfoo.zxq.net/wordpress/bve-singapore/OsCod/

  Planned objects to be included:

  • "NSL" viaducts
  • "EWL East" viaducts
  • NSEWL tunnels
  • NSEWL tracks
  • NEL/CCL tunnels
  • NEL/CCL tracks
  • NSEWL signalling related objects
  • NEL/CCL signalling related objects
  • Passing train objects

  I would need developers to spend time building up these objects, as it is almost impossible to do it myself.

  Any comments, feedback, and such? Please post below!

  FHPSDs 2nd Gen, there's a ton of them (CGA, Bishan, CCL, NEL etc.), how are you going to include them?

  True... So we'll leave that out.

  Teach u an idea:

  Look for me, I put every stations with different distances / station length so that in par with real life (If not I will get users asking how come this and that looked not realistic in timing / distance etc), and just a first gen thingy got so many stations then how???

   

  My answer: Put a sample thing on it. Maybe if Second Generation's Bishan and Changi Airport is very different, put both. Different stations in (North East) Circle line are generally the same so just put either one of them will do. As for first generation, you may just put a Bugis sample and City Hall  / Raffles Place sample (WIP).

  The purpose is that this dependancy will be, for example, in openBVE\Railway\Object\OsCod (short for openBVE Singapore Common Object Dependency). The developer will then load the file like this:

  .wallL (173) OsCod\Wall\NSLViaduct1L.csv
  .wallL (173) OsCod\Wall\NSLViaduct1R.csv

  I do not see the reason for including the FHPSD as it is not common - there are many differences like station names .etc.

  All folder structure/names, and file names are not finalised.

  Still a bit pointless. I mean, even if PSD thingy is not going to be included, why spearate in

• "NSL" viaducts
• "EWL East" viaducts

Although I am yet to update the West viaducts to use pngs, but I mean, has the East viaducts in synchornize with NSL viaducts (Or the other way round)?

 

My suggestion will be merge all these into Compass Line Viaducts / Tunnels (By the way, the term was seen on this thread. (North South [line & ] East West Line = Compass Line)
