Pro Class 156

[trainmananthon]

Hi all,
Been looking all over for this train but can't find it anywhere.
Any help with it please?

Is that the Pro 156?

 

[466.networkers]

It is the Class 156 by Oovee that was known at one point as the Class 156 Professional but was renamed due to criticism and furore within the community.

 

[trainmananthon]

To be honest the sounds of the Class 156 don't sound the same as the Pro 156 which made me wonder if it was the pro or not

 

[466.networkers]

When it was taken down the sounds were edited/altered.

(I should know, I beta tested it. )

And since then it's been tweaked be openBVE compatible.

 

[trainmananthon]

is there anywhere i can get the old sounds cos on my laptop it is hard to hear the engine sounds and the other stuff from the new sounds

 

[466.networkers]

Nope, the train released now is the current & final version and the old one is no longer available to download as far as I am aware.

 

[trainmananthon]

So i won't be able to get the old sounds to put on the recent 156 which i have downloaded?

 

[466.networkers]

Nope, none of the older versions of the Class 156 are available to download anymore.

 

[trainmananthon]

Surely someone has got the sounds for it somewhere? That is all i wan't cos i know that the cabs are from the same train and that all of the Cab Controls that work in this version work in the other version

Well, yes. The old sounds are out there but are bound my copyright laws and as such cannot be given out at the drop of a hat.

Also since were on the topic of 156s, i've been trying to get the OpenBVE Externals to work from eezypeazy but with no look. When i tried it i tried it 4-5 times each time i did it but non work and i've been following the exact words of the instruction.
Any help please?

Another thing, non 156 related:
downloaded the Class 350/450 and every time i run the trains the front carriage is always the wrong way around, the Cab being coupled to the 2nd Carriage and the interconnecting gangways between the trains is facing the forward direction.
Any help on that aswell please?

In what sense did the 156 not work? I've downloaded the train and carried out the same instructions to the letter also, yet it works for me. What result do you actually see on screen? That will assist us to assist you.

Re the 350/450 (probably the best externals out there!) I too have no trouble, but perhaps member andythompson would be the best person to sort the problem out. It sounds to me as if there is a faulty line or two in the extensions.cfg file.

the latest sounds are actually about right, in 156 cabs it's a hell of allot quieter than the saloon. You can only hear the engine slightly

after 10,000 combined downloads your the only one to say there is a problem. Id say check again.

 

[trainmananthon]

when i tried the 156 externals, all it came up with was two white blocks travelling down the line

You're not following the instruction right i'd say

 

[Plug]

You're not following the instruction right i'd say

Agreed! You need to make certain that the Car objects referred to in your extensions.cfg file are named correctly and actually exist in the directory which the file points to.

If you had followed the instructions given... (need I say more?)

 

[trainmananthon]

I am following exactly what the instructions say but i am certain it is to do with when i download the extensions.cfg that that is the problem

Head over to www.bve4trainz.com and download the beta 156, it's already to go.

 

[trainmananthon]

yh seen that on WIP but wasn't expecting to see it until 5th Feb at least

The 5th was the intended release date for the Beta Class 156 but as we have managed to overhaul the site much faster than we thought we have released it early along with other trains.

This is good news. Looks like some quality stuff to enjoy!

 

[trainmananthon]

downloaded the train and run it in openBVE and there is no logo, no number on the front and again, the rear carriage is the wrong way around. OK the logo and no. im not bothered about but is there any way to sort out the carriage problem?
Thanks in advance

The Class 156 DOES NOT have the rear carriage the wrong way round. There is no logo or numbers yet it's still in BETA. With CG textures things take time. The screen shot only has logos so we could get a feel for how they look. The front texture I changed and did not include a number because we haven't decided on one.

Ben has checked the 450 and I have checked the 350 and both seem to be fine as far as we can see.

This is why beta releases shouldn't be released until they have been tested to destruction by a team of people on different versions of openBVE.

I don't think the caps are needed, they're merely reporting problems with the downloads.

And also it's not a good idea to put edited screenshots up as it will only cause confusion.

 

[andythompson]

the 156 had 3 days of testing between me and Adam. He decided the remove the logo's until we got some better ones. All for the end users enjoyment.

I wont say things as i want as for some reason this forum is very strict on its Code of conduct. So ill say this.

This is why beta releases shouldn't be released until they have been tested to destruction by a team of people on different versions of openBVE.

Now we released a public beta. I dont think there is a better way to get a beta test out. more than 50+ downloads in less than 48 hours.

What OS are you running? and for me to check a few things out. what version of OpenBVE are you running? and what's your graphics card? (nvidia?)

I am following exactly what the instructions say but i am certain it is to do with when i download the extensions.cfg that that is the problem

I'll quote this one, but i'm sure they're many more like it.

If you are for some reason having a few problems with a carriage looking the wrong way. Consider this.

First find out the car number. remember the trains from this site now conform the the 3 per coach rule. So count the bogies too, now lets say its the last coach of the 450 for instance. this mean in the extensions.CFG file it would be car car 11. which looks like this;

[Car9]
object = ext_view\bogieconfig.animated
length = 4.92
axles = -1.32,1.32

[car10]
object = ext_view\350-4a.animated
length = 19.96
axles= -7.02,7.02
Reversed = false

[Car11]
object = ext_view\bogieconfig.animated
length = 4.92
axles = -1.32, 1.32


Change False to true.

Also if anyone else gets this problem please message me or Adam.


Hope that helped.

Not fair - We have all tried to be helpful here, but it appears that trainmananthon is too ready to blame the downloads rather than look at his own actions, or even the very clear guides which have been published, part of which andythompson explains very clearly here.

And also it's not a good idea to put edited screenshots up as it will only cause confusion.

Why? These guys are entitled to plug their own work in whichever way they wish.
