2 Trains, 2 Tracks: Los Santos Local

This mod enables trains on both tracks, meaning two trains can be seen running at the same time. Slow, shorter trains operate between Mirror Park and Davis Quartz. Longer, faster, and more varied trains operate on the default route. Faster trains will safely overtake a slower train if needed, with no collisions between the two. There are locations where the faster express and slower local stop. (See Map for details.) For now, these stations have few if any amenities. This will be fixed in the future.


REQUIREMENTS:

Map Editor (To load and delete objects)
Menyoo (To make tracks visible)
OpenIV (To install the mod)

SUGGESTED MODS:

Walter's Overhauled Trains - More varied trains, including passenger and commuter trains.
J10's Railroad Engineer Script - A script which lets you drive the trains.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH:

Any mod involving the tram or its route


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Place LSLocal.xml in scripts/AutoloadMaps
If the folder does not exist, create it.

If you are using Walter's Overhauled Trains mod (Highly recommended for passenger trains and more train car types), select Overhauled. If not, select Vanilla. 

Run OpenIV, navigate to Mods/Common.rpf/data/levels/gta5
Replace trains.xml, traintracks.xml, Train1.dat and Train4.dat

KNOWN BUGS:

No Metro/Trams run. This is not fixable. Shuttle buses and repair crews will be parked at metro stations in V1.5

Outbound Local Trains do not trigger the crossing at 1 intersection in Strawberry. Repair Crews enroute, will arrive in V1.5. Potential fix in the future, once engineers figure out how to connect train lines to traffic signals.

Vehicles ignore approaching train in Davis Quartz and in Los Santos. Unfixable for the time being. They're just that impatient.

The curve for local trains leaving Davis Quartz is too tight. This may be fixed later, if deemed possible. The effect is not too severe, mostly noticable with passenger trains.


SPECIAL THANKS TO:

Walter for his overhauled trains mod and trains.xml. This formed the basis of the equipment seen if you are using the Overhauled version.

Exoskeleton for his Extended Freight Mod. His mod showed that modifying train routes and tracks was possible.

Codewalker for their helpful map editor.


NEXT VERSIONS:

V1.5 - Adds train stations and platforms to the world.

V2.0 Extends the Local to Cypress Flats using Exoskeleton's mod.

V3.0 Extends the Local to Port Of Los Santos
