Coasters Simulated: Track Styles

# Coasters Simulated: Track Styles This is an unofficial NeoForge addon for *[Create: Coasters Simulated](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-coasters-simulated)* that adds custom, realistic track models based off real life manufacturer track, independent rail and spine color customization by HEX code, and an in-game tool to easily configure track styles. It's currently pretty experimental, but functional if you want to build more realistic real-life roller coaster layouts or experiment with different track styles.  ## What It Adds * **Custom Track Models:** Adds 15+ track types covering B&M, Intamin, Vekoma, Arrow, RMC, and Wooden styles. * **Mid-Spline Transitions:** You can switch track types along the same curve (e.g., transitioning from single-spine to double-spine track). * **In-Game Style Tool & GUI:** A custom tool with a GUI for setting styles and entering hex colors. * **Independent Rail & Spine Colors:** Set rail colors and spine/tie colors separately using Hex codes (`#RRGGBB`). * **Bulk Apply & Picker:** Apply styles down the entire connected track circuit in one click, or sample styles off an existing anchor. * **labPBR Support:** Built-in PBR textures for realistic shine/reflections when running shaders with PBR enabled. * **(Experimental) Anchor Style Tool:** A custom tool with GUI for styling the coaster anchorpoint block along with the girder that connects it to the track. - Invisible style works, but the custom style can have some visual issues for the anchorpoint block when Forgified Fabric API is in your pack. ## Included Track Styles - B&M Steel - Intamin Box Truss - Intamin Tri Truss - Intamin Heavy - Intamin Heavy Double Spine - Intamin BB - Intamin BB Double Spine - Steel Flat - Steel Flat Truss - Wooden (all wood types + white) - Vekoma New-Gen - Premier Rides (Steel, Tri, Tri Tall Spine, LSM) - Arrow Tubular - RMC I-Box - RMC I-Box (Mixed Rail Test) - (works, but sometimes the two rail colors get flipped, just make a second style with the two colors flipped) ### For the future: * Arrow 4D ## How to Use Get the **Coaster Style Tool** from the new creative tab: * **Right-Click in air:** Opens the GUI to pick a style, enter base/rail hex codes, or toggle "Match Base Color". * **Right-Click anchor:** Applies the tool's settings to that specific anchor. * **Shift + Right-Click anchor:** Applies settings to **all connected anchors** along that track circuit. * **Alt + Right-Click anchor:** Copies the style and colors off the anchor into your tool. * **Shift (Hover in inventory):** Shows a quick control reference. ### Note Due to some limitations, ***You must right click the track anchor to apply a style, not the track itself. If nothing is changing, click another anchor***. ## Rendering & Shaders Setup This mod relies on Flywheel instance rendering to display custom track models: 1. **Flywheel must be ON:** Set Flywheel to **Indirect** (Default) or **Instancing**. If Flywheel is disabled, custom track models will not render. 2. **If using shaders:** You need one of these compatibility mods so Flywheel instances render properly through shaders: * **[Iris Flywheel Compat](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris-flw-compat)** (Works with most shaderpacks) * **[Colorwheel](https://modrinth.com/mod/colorwheel)** (For Colorwheel-supported shaderpacks) *(Tested with Complementary by EminGT in labPBR mode and Nostalgia by RRe36 with resource pack reflections turned on).* ## Resource Packs All models can be overridden using a resource pack.
