Secondly, if you would like some assistance getting used to TP3, in our communities we absolutely can help with it! Anything you need, you can join communities like mine to get started with, or the long-standing ones like FC&N

Sorry AgentZVoid. In the trainbuild community, it does seem to be the way forward at the moment. One of the many benefits are that due to the tracks being slightly slimmer, we can get away with better area usage, plus the tracks are smoother and include playing sounds, animated switches and stands, and more versatility. PHX Gauge has had its day from the early days of GMod to only a couple of years ago - there are still SO MANY PHX gauge maps, the majority of my map releases have been PHX gauge!

Fun fact: The main reason we used PHX gauge in the first place was because BlackPhoenix, who helped make the original Phoenix Model Pack with it's interesting tracks, is Ukrainian, so we've actually been using a form of Ukrainian/Broad Gauge this whole time. Using Standard Gauge (which is what TP3 is) actually brings it more in line with the gauge that the majority of the world uses - about 60%. The other 40% use a mix of narrow all the way up to broad gauge.

I would absolutely be obsessed with this map if it didn't have trakpak3 :(

That's a shame Golden. While you can see most of my released maps are PHX, with the standardisation (no pun intended) of TP3 with its bigger and better features, I had no reason not to switch. I hope you know that most trains that are PHX gauge can actually be transferred to STD gauge by simply replacing the bogies. The difference is minimal, and most maps should account for it. I've found not EVERY model pack works, but that's only due to people using different scales - for example, DasMatZe's train pack is a bit weird, but others are perfectly fine. Have you joined any of the trainbuild community discords? There will be people to help - including on mine!

this map is really cool, but i prefer phx trains :(

Thanks Leon! I have been working on a new map called Blackprise - although dev is very slow at the moment due to IRL commitments and time management. If you want to join the community, just follow the discord link above, and get a good insight as to the new map design.

cool

No worries! I hope the rest of the map is fine now. Reach out again if any problems!

awesome, thanks [BIC-L] Black-Ice

This problem should be fixed the next time you go onto Gmod - just make sure you allow the Model pack to update! I tested it myself and yes, there was indeed a collision box issue with one of the models. It has been fixed on my side (my garrysmod uses the workshop version so I don't have developer bias!) so I hope this fixes it for you. Let me know here or on the community discord if there are any further problems :-)

Hi Laz

Thanks for letting me know

I will try and fix this today for you

not sure if you heard this, on the 02nd floor of the map where there's a combine rail yard. the front entry is blocked. any trainbuild locos can't enter.

Join the community discord and let me know what the problem is in detail, I can try and troubleshoot any issues with you

Problem: Everytime i move in this map my game keeps crashing. Why is this happening.

Thank you Intuitive! It took a long time to make the map so it's great to see some positive feedback. I hope you continue to enjoy it. My community server hosts it sometimes, so you're always welcome to join us

This map is GREAT. Once I find some trakpak3 trains, this will be my favourite map. I LOVE your style of yard design (and love that trakpak3 has wye turnouts).

Can you take pics and send them to me on the community discord?

I have all the required assets but some textures are still errors

That addon also has RSG gauge carriages too

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2304547218&searchtext=lua+train

This addon is probably what you're thinking of

Like the CBH train addons, they're not like dupes or built with props, they're just train models

What is a pre built? I use my own models or model packs available with ready made trains, all I do is stick on two bogies and a thruster and it's good to go. I don't see myself hoew it's any easier o:

@Black-Ice
Yeah I'm just someone who's more used to the addon pre-built trains rather than the custom made ones

Rmx?

With tp3 tracks I had better versatility and could make slightly more complex and interesting track routes. There's many addons that provide the gauge appropriate bogies tho :>

Yeah I'm kinda sad that the rails don't fit the default RMX wheels but at least I can still use the map for filming with "fake" tracks

For EAE: I understand and I too wish there were more entity trains that used RSG, but fear not, many addons are available to help build trains out of 3 props (2 bogies and a train prop) :-) but thank you very much for the feedback :D

For TheBadGabbo: thank you!!

this map is so great! Good job

Super map! Everything is great! There is only one fat minus, the rails of the map do not fit any CBM and other mods for trains, although there is a mod for them, but they do not fit the atmosphere of the map, the map is fire anyway.

Lets Go! New train themed map!
