Titus made us a public E2 pack. Its a pack that contains a Speedo, EOTDs, an HOTD and an Air Conditioner E2. Lovely to see more people contributing to this group and to trainbuild in general. Keep it coming Titus. Also worth noting, he works for Kiwi Rail IRL so these E2s should be of high quality and accuracy ;)

Next update I announced yesterday? Meh.. The reason I am releasing this so quickly is that i didnt make those Grain Hopper skins. I wont have time for that now so ye rip.. However the Electric powerlines are done (they are a dupe you have to put down with the box saying "place at original position" ticked on), Electric RLC with Electric BatteryKnifeSwitch E2 is done (everything is explained in the E2s on how to wire and use) and the Holo Gear Demonstration Tutorial thingy E2 is done.

Will contain:
1. An example E2 of holo gear (including piston rods - valve gear can be figured out using the exact same code). I dont want to give too much away just the basics with an explanation of how what works. Dont expect me to release full gear builds, that you have to do on your own. This release may trigger some people who would like to stay special with their holo gear but its for the best of our servers. The more people learn how to do this the less constraint rape we gonna get.

2. Holo electric overhead powerlines for SunsetGulch. For now it will just be the loop through wolfram and dragons rock. If I continue the build down to Rockfort i will of course upload the updates.

3. Electric locomotive RLC Pt. With power depending on the battery knife switch and pantograph position (in order to move an electric locomotive you need to close the battery switch to power the pantograph up, of course once thats done you are ready to go) and with smooth (not notched) throttle and dynamics.

4. Randomized grain hopper skins.

This should be released in the next week or 2.

They are done.
This is by quite a margin the biggest one yet so be patient while the E2 loads.
7 models with well over 50 tank car skins, enjoy.

IMPORTANT!!! AS I SAID IN THE PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT DELETE THE OLD FOLDERS NAMED "shomis_skins" and "shomis_e2s"!!!!!!!! And place the new folder into garrysmod/data/expression2 instead.

I felt the need to tidy things up, clear old stuff out of the way and begin a new era of quality content on this group.

I have gained a lot of skill and knowledge over time and i feel like my old stuff is becoming to ugly and outdated in every sense. This is why i will do a "repackaging" of my folders and you guys will have to delete the old folders "shomis skins" and "shomis e2s" as soon as i upload the new stuff. These 2 folders will be put in a seperate folder named "Old E2s" so dont worry im not deleting anything just hiding it B)

Let me talk through the quality standards i wanna stick to with every future upload: every skin and E2 i do needs to run smoothly without causing any lag or issues, every skin i make will be fully customizable in terms of bodygroups, materials, colors and weathering and will be tickloaded (no holo spamming). The colors on every future skin need to be at least 95% prototypically correct with the remaining 5% of room left for saturation adjustments (no more ugly oversaturated skins) and material relative adjustments.

This level of quality can be seen in my new rolling stock E2s. Speaking of which: as soon as i get the tank cars done (WIP 75%) i will upload the "New Era" folder arrangement.

This also means that there will be less content coming up though. But still i think we can all agree that quality > quantity.

FUTURE UPLOADS CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT SECTION.
