Mission:
The people of New Babbage desperately want our train to function again in New Babbage. I'm proposing we get a new group going to set that in motion. The goal would be to have our train functional by the end of the year. Currently, the following New Babbagers have been working on it:
Ordinal Malaprop - Scripting
Reitsuki Kojima - Building and Texturing
Since the build is 100% complete I'd like to see Ordinal take on the role of "team captain" and be the tie breaker for disputes and be the error correction for code the group comes up with.
Current issues:
**the train is two objects and and as such has trouble at sim crossings. Ghost trains are left behind in the sim seemingly randomly.
**more issues as determined by the group
Anyone who'd like contribute are welcome to do so.

Comment by Aeolus Cleanslate on December 11, 2008 at 3:19pm - I'm a train guy from way back, and have been working with physical and vehicle scripting for a bit, so I'm happy to help in any way I can be valuable. Let me know!

Comment by Shaunathan Sprocket on December 19, 2008 at 11:29am - update: To my knowledge no one has contacted Ordinal so she was working on the train by herself this week, I'm unsure of her progress and plan to check in with her this weekend. Aeolus or anyone else interested in helping her should send her an IM :D

- Additional update: Just so we're clear Ordinal is more of a supervisory mode here. She's done the basic work already and plans no further work on the train script but she and I are working out details but I believe she'll be able to help guide the new people who wish to work on the project.

- It seems Ms Malaprop has a lot on her plate - we haven't been able to formally hand off/share any access to the trains yet. But I'm sure we will!

I had an idea yesterday, partially fuelled by a video, and the rest by apparently by some sort of odd dream, as I woke up this morning with the following thought....
Someone walks up to the train station....ponders getting a default train from the dispenser, but instead pulls out their very own custom train-like vehicle.
They board, it snaps onto the track, and away it goes. If they leap off at any point, the train continues on for a bit, then deletes itself.
There could be a train construction set sort of thing, consisting of a root prim with the scripts in, and people could build up from there.
