Era A Railway Station Refurbishments

Description
Firstly, I should like to give a huge thank you to MadHatter, whose pioneering UK Generic Station Modules inspired me to (eventually) provide some more decorative schemes for the Era A stations.

MadHatter's original mod can be found here:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1948581268

It is not required for this mod as a dependent file and has been tested alongside it in both current and beta updated versions of TpF2. There do not appear to be any compatibility issues - despite my scripting typos - and they work with the vanilla stations as well.

Presently there are four colour schemes for the station main and side buildings:

1. Orange brick
2. Red brick - like orange, but redder
3. London or yellow brick
4. White stone render

In addition to the building there is custom detail on:

- Platforms
- Platforms with underpass
- Platform canopy
- Platform cast iron column supports
- Custom lamp textures for each variant (also lowered so they don't stick through the platform roof!)

Replacement benches have been added on the platforms, to match those outside the buildings, and the redundant clock-holding bracket on the small side building has been removed.

The models and other materials are all the intellectual property of Urban Games; I am responsible for a small amount of scripting and the textures.

UPDATES v1.3
============
1. Thanks to MadHatter's scripting, these stations will now take any track.
2. Empty platforms without assets.
3. Updated UI icons.

Era A Railway Station Refurbishments

Scripting by MH to take any track; empty platforms (no assets); updated UI icons.

UPDATES v1.4
============
Following suggestions and encouragement from Green Ranger (Gr1m), the Era A stations have received an upgrade and some minor modifications. These include:

1. Gardens on station frontages (except for the Level 1 main/side buildings) similar to, but not as elaborate as Grander Stations. The beds are bordered with clipped hedges and have elderflower bushes inside. The large station has some poplar trees but the majority are just elders, allowing you to add specimen trees of your choosing. May I recommend my Flowering Trees mod...
2. Removal of a surprisingly large number of surplus lamps.
3. Removal of all the unsightly Era A trashcans; feel free to place your own.
4. Reinstatement of the small clock in the cupolas.
5. Symmetrical station sign and benches in front of Level 1 buildings.
6. Some additional benches on other frontages.
7. Station signs in front of Level 2 main building as there weren't any!
8. Revamped benches on the platforms with assets. All wooden benches are back-to-back doubles like the Era B ones.
9. Corrected a vanilla platform texture that had survived being modified!
10. Passenger capacities on all main and side buildings as per UG levels.

Ah, you are correct! I'd scrolled the menu and forgot about that hehe.

I think I put the platform canopies under the Canopy menu rather than Misc - been a long time since I worked on this mod!

Been using these stations A LOT and they are awesome! The only thing I noticed so far is that the platform canopies seem to be missing from the Misc menu - I could only find the vanilla one (and some from other mods I use) but not the really nice ones with those detailed pillars that appear when you plop a premade refurb station.

yes, iirc they don't have an end date, so you can always place them.

Can these modules be added to stations in later eras?

@Green Ranger - Have restored the .CON file from original, please let me know if you encounter any further issues.

Thanks for the info Green Ranger, much appreciated. I've had reports of issues with the Beta, but am waiting till the update is rolled out in March to assess and see what changes need making. There were earlier issues with the Span parameter, where the small side building would take off another section of canopy roof (Hull, Manchester Piccadilly etc.) beyond the length covered by the building.

Much of the code was based on MadHatter's Generic UK Stations mod, which he very kindly did for me. I'll definitely investigate on my test maps, it may be that my local Staging Area mod has been done but I haven't updated the online version.

Hey! Love this mod, but I just wanted to give you a heads up - in the preconfigured stations, the main station building doesn't seem to update to the right facade colour (this happens on both regular and terminus stations)

There's also a bug where if you place multiple station buildings together, they aren't using the right end types, so the roof isn't continuous like it was in the vanilla one (and in earlier versions of this mod iirc). If you place a two vanilla buildings next to each other and then two of these, you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, really love this mod. Its a must-have on all my saves. Just wanted to point out these small issues. :)

Vielen Dank für Ihre Kommentare. Wenn das Spiel aktualisiert wird, warte ich normalerweise, bis das Update allgemein veröffentlicht wird, und nicht in der Beta-Phase. Auf diese Weise sind alle nachträglichen Änderungen, die während der Testphase vorgenommen wurden, eingearbeitet.
