Title: Four RR Suggestions
Post by: JoePCool14 on September 20, 2015, 06:50:03 pm
Hey there,

First I'd just like to say your mods are very, very nice and they are very accurate! You've done an awesome job on them and I hope there is more to come!

Now, I'd like to offer some suggestions that hopefully you don't already know about. They aren't super common ones, but I'm going to say them anyways!

Pretty much all I have to suggest is some new items.
- A bell item - It can either just be cosmetic or actually be the only way to get bells at a railroad crossing. I don't really care which way, just for cosmetic reasons primarily.
- A different style cantilever (overhead post) - This could be used to model overhead railroad or a different style of traffic signals. Its once again cosmetic, but unfortunately its tough to add overhead railroad lights.
- Double-sided crossbucks - Its just a small suggestion, either a new item or someway to put two on the same post.
- Different style of light that has a bell - Some crossing don't have gates but they still have lights and a bell. It would be awesome to be able to do this! It would also be nice to have a gate without a bell.

Hopefully these don't seem demanding, because its your mod and you do what you want with it. If you are ever looking for ideas though hopefully these come to mind. 1.8 support would always be fantastic too, but that's not too important. Thanks for making this awesome mod, and good luck with its future.  :D

Hey, thanks for your suggestions!

I will look into them but at the moment I'm really struggling with the 1.8 updates as they are quite demanding and force me to rewrite all of the mod.
I haven't been as active as usual the past 6 months because of other things, which is also the reason there is no 1.8 support yet, there definately will be though!

I'm also looking into some other additions to the mod but since there are so much different styles of railroad crossings in the real world, I don't really know which country styles to add.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it! :D

Anyways, I completely understand the lack of time that you might have, and 1.8 support is also something tough.

In terms of different railroad styles, I could probably go on forever about the different types, but obviously adding every single one or even a small chunk of them would be painful. However, some small variety would be pretty cool.

Thanks again!
