Welcome
to our blog in July. In this blog you will learn a lot about planned mod updates and a lot more, which is coming up soon. The teams have been very diligent and there is already a lot to see and even more to expect. Be sure to check out our trailer .
Builder Team
The city of Rödau is in its final stages. A chamber of crafts for the training of various professions on the server has been created. Also an outdoor pool, where you can recover from all the stress of everyday life. The conversion and modernization measures for the old department store have begun and can be completed soon, so that the shops can then reopen.
Furthermore, the route design around the old line Rödau – Bad Spencer was started, but interrupted at short notice due to recently discovered and protected rose species. On the other hand, things are progressing really fast in Bad Spencer, not only because the construction team has grown, but everyone is having fun working together on the small town. As a result, the beautiful old town with town hall, church, market square including fountain and narrow streets is almost finished. The old town houses an underground sewer system and is half-timbered with an old city wall all around.
Modeler Team
The modeler team has grown by another person, who has already created great models. These are currently in the workshop so that the workshop employees can apply the server's own paintwork to the vehicles before they start their use on the server. Corresponding pictures to our coloring can be found below. Furthermore, we are gradually preparing our models for the new ImmersiveRailroading version, which makes it possible to interact with individual elements in the train and in the driver's cab. You can move levers, press buttons, open doors and much more. This further enhances the immersive driving experience. Accordingly, a new GUI is currently being developed with which various things are displayed directly and beautifully visualized to the driver.
Technician Team
The technicians have started their work and started to equip the stations and stops with passenger information displays, which can later inform passengers about trains, delays or the like. For this purpose, our specially developed PIS system is used, which we presented in the last blog . The displays must then be connected accordingly and minor adjustments must be made to the PIS system before the whole thing is ready for use.
Developer Team
In the meantime, our specially developed server system plugin for rights management and administration of various other things (such as worlds, warps,…) has been fundamentally revised and improved. Work on the Economy plugin will pick up speed in the near future, and we also welcome a new team member who supports us and is responsible for it. Our launcher will soon also have some improvement updates coming up.
A major update is pending at signalmod. This was switched to a new synchronization system, as the old one had some problems and was responsible for many errors. Many more and new bugs have been fixed, but there is no guarantee that all bugs will be found once the update goes online. In addition, some missing signals are planned for a further update. And as if that wasn't all, an update is being worked on, whereby a new model rendering system with CustomModels can be realized. This works with Json files, which ensures that new elements can be added or changed individually and easily without having to edit the source code.
So be curious to see what our diverse future will bring. If you want to shorten the waiting time a bit, I recommend watching our first (in)official trailer , which is linked below. In addition, we would be pleased if you actively support us. We are always looking for new people to grow our team. Have a look at our Discord.
Thanks for reading and see you next post. Have you well,The
GIRC Team
