Pak.Basic

Pakset for Simutrans

The idea

Pak.Basic's purpose is to have a pakset, that is streamlined for people discovering Simutrans. Everything should be dumped down as much as possible to create an enviroment enabling new users to learn the basic game dynamics first, bevore starting to learn the more complicated game dynamics the other paksets bring. Thus, there will only be so few ways, buildings, factories etc. Vehicles all will have the very same length. High use of player colour. Simple named objects.

Base for this new Pakset will be the graphics from Pak192.Comic.

What's missing so far?

• Defining Buildings
• Working github action
• Adjusting content from Pak192.Comic to fit this pakset
• Pedestrians don't have a place to be
• New UI
• Translations
• Scenario
• Loading screen image
• Proper documentation (this one is important! why is it at the very bottom of this list?)
• And far more…

How can I contribute?

Just do it! Either just start a pull request here on Github, or write me on the forums.

Run the pakset

0. Install Simutrans
   1. Since this is a nightly pakset, it may not run with the Simutrans version you have already installed. Please go to https://www.simutrans-forum.de/nightly/ for the most recent Simutrans Nightlies. Note: Nightlies do not replace stable versions, especially if you intend to play a long game!
1. Get yourself the pakset from the release page.
   1. Additionally you can download an addonset from the same page. This addon set does not include all addons there are.
   2. Or download yourself an old version from the forum.
2. Unzip the pakset.
3. Copy the unzipped pakset in your Simutrans game folder.
   1. If you did download the addon set as well, put them in your addon folder in your user directionary. On Windows this folder appears at C:\Users[User]\Documents\Simutrans\addons
   2. Remane the new folder in the addon directionary to the same name that you use for the folder in the game file directionary.
4. Start Simutrans the way you did before, and you'll see a menu asking you for a pakset to run. Select the new added folder to run this pakset.
   1. If you did install the addons as well, there should be a button to start the game with them as well.
5. Happy playing.
