Description
This Pack is based on the Plarail ("プラレール" Purarēru) system. Using the track and trains from Plarail Advance its now possible to play, drive and build in Garry's Mod using the most beloved Toy trains from Japan.

If this pack doesn't show up in the Track assembly tool please read this bug report[github.com] of it.

For mappers i wrote an fgd file[drive.google.com]. Add it to your Hammer configuration and you'll be able to use the special Track entites in Hammer.

No i will not take any Requests for Trains in the comments. After several people decided to shove their beloved trains into my to do list i just wanted to say that its pointless. Comments for requests or even spammers (caps etc) will be deleted.

Special Thanks:
Grocel, for all the time and effort he spend to script the Train and Track entities.
Sligwolf for rigging and animating the ACS Swep Model
And all my beta testers!

To build layouts i recommend the Track assembly tool

Included is a map with a big layout and plenty of space to build custom layouts. Everything in this Addon is dupeable (tested with Advance Duplicator 2) and should work fine after plenty of time playing.

FAQ:
Q: Where do i find the Trains?
A: Q -> Entities -> Plarail Advance Trains

Q: Where do i find the Tracks?
A: The basic tracks are props and can be found in Q -> Addons -> Plarail, The track entities (Stop Rail, Points etc) are located in Q -> Entites -> Plarail Advance

Q: How to connect two Wagons?
A: Pull them close enough to eachother (the small couplings are just as reference) and press E on the Couplings, note that only Male and Female couplings can be connected (no offence against lgbt+ couplings)

Q: What is the normal size of a Train?
A: 4 Wagons, 2 Ends, one unpowered Carrige, one powered Carrige (Wire, Powered, ACS)

Q: How to drive the trains?
A: You operate the Trains by either using the buttons (only Powered Carrige), the ACS IR Controller (only ACS
Carrige), or the Wire input Speed (only Wire Carrige)

Q: How to reverse the Train with the ACS Ccontroller?
A: By pressing +Walk (Default Alt) + R

Q: I cant see a Wire Powered Carrige
A: Its only active when Wiremod is installed and working

I hope you enjoy the Addon as much as i did while making, testing and developing!

Cheers Ron Thunderr

Is anyone else having issues with this? It used to work but now loading into the map crashes the game. Yes there's a LOT of other things installed, mostly trainbuild related addons

I've confirmed its Track Assembler causing the issue, just no clue why it errored with a model from your addon given none of them subscribed to the addon. There weren't any updates either to any of these addons so it must be something with a new Garry's Mod update

Forgot to mention too that this error basically immediately crashes the game. Only happens on x86-64.

Getting a consistent error with three of my friends. Something about "Model models/ron/plarail/scenery/aj01.mdl not found and models/error.mdl couldn't be loaded". It's probably a Garry's Mod issue rather than your addon, given that both servers don't have this addon that my friends crash on, but I thought I might as well bring it up in case you know anything.

Looking up this model path in other places too yields results of this model path and issues revolving it and error.mdl since 2021, too.
