Welcome on board, Dear Passengers! This is the homepage of Marcell Gál, alias Gothpaladinus, a mobile and transport fan. On this site you can download some useful programs for PC and for cellphones running S60 3rd edition OS (mostly Nokia smartphones), and some own developments for OpenBVE, which is a free and open source train driving simulator. You'll also find the abandonware, but still very popular Jazz Jackrabbit 2 game, that is a platform game in DOS style for Windows OS, and website links related to the game. I hope you'll find something useful on my site. Having said that, have a good trip!

[WIP] 431 346 (Szili) openBVE-hez (2012.05.17)
Today I have decided to continue the Hungarian MÁV-Start IC 801 (Zengő InterCity) train project for openBVE. I have already added the UkTrainSys plugin to the 'Szili' electric engine, so the blower starter/stopper now works. I have increased the number of power notch positions from 8 to 32, as the real Szili has 32 handle positions too, but I still have to make the cab power animations for it too. The traction sound still isn't remade, but currently it's not the most important. Until then, here comes a video.
Today, the Budapest Transport Limited's Siemens Combino Supra NF12 articulated low-floor tram (by Karl Neilinn) has got an update. I have deleted the red transparent colors of the textures, and changed them to PNG alpha channels, and I have also changed the CSV/Animated files' encodings to UTF-8. I have also fixed the first line error of the Sound.cfg, so the game now won't sign any errors of the train, therefore now it's once again flawless, perfectly compatible w/ the final (1.4.1.2) openBVE version. I strongly recommend everyone to update the older version as soon as possible!
The openBVE project has got deleted yesterday evening after 4 years and 27 days. The official announcement, which can be read on the official homepage, neither does include the reasons of the stopping, nor the reason of the deleting of the official openBVE forum, but I hope it won't be a secret of Michelle herself for a long time...
openBVE, Rest In Peace, you were a good game for us, I'm waiting for your return!
Az openBVE projekt tegnap este törlésre került 4 év és 27 nappal a megkezdése után. A hivatalos bejelentés, ami a program hivatalos honlapján megtalálható, nem tesz említést sem a leállítás indokairól, sem a hivatalos openBVE fórum bezárásának okairól, de remélem, nem sokáig lesz ez Michelle titka...
openBVE, Nyugodj Békében, jó játékot jelentettél számunkra, visszavárlak!
RailJet EuroCity és Metrowagonmash Uzsgyi új változat (2012.04.12)
Today both the Metrowagonmash 81-731.25 DMU and the OeBB RailJet EuroCity train have got an update. Both trains' physics have got an update: the acceleration rates have been changed in both trains, and the deceleration rates have been reduced of the RailJet from 3 m/s2 to 1.47 m/s2. The 81-731.25 has got new brake notch release sounds, and its compressor now turns on at 6.8 bar air reservoir pressure and turns off at 8 bar like IRL, and also the maximum brake pressure rates have reduced from 270 kPa to 116 kPa (emergency brake) and from 116 kPa to 98.6 kPa (EP brake). And the 81-731.25 now has even stronger diesel smoking for P6 and P7 power notches seen from the exterior. There are also some other, smaller changes in the physics, let's see if you can spot them! ;P
The updates are available from the openBVE Managed Content. I recommend you to remove the previous versions before installing the new ones!
I still post many news and pictures about my WIP MÁV-Start railway line 46 (Sárbogárd-Bátaszék), but I guess it's time to make some of them available to be found on my homepage too. From now the pictures say it all.
This is the latest screenshot about the route from yesterday, showing Tolna-Mözs station in RouteViewer being built:

Find more screenshots in the BVE mindenes fórum!
I have almost missed a whole month without any released updates (except for adding the Aggfalva-Kisvirágos railway line to the openBVE Managed Content, but that is just a minor fix), but before the end of February, I have decided to release an update for the Metrowagonmash 81-731.25 DMU.
The update includes new sounds and upgraded physics too. I haven't yet updated the exterior model, because first I wanna change the MSTS 63-41 002-1 model's textures to the photos I have successfully taken yesterday evening about the same DMU on the IR 831 InterRegio train to Sárbogárd, so expect new screenshots about the interior WIP in a few days on the Index BVE mindenes fórum!
After five days of silence, the OeBB RailJet EuroCity train has got another update. The updates are on the panel and in the traction sound. No new files added - only five files got modified since the latest version (brake level day/night texture, Panel2.cfg, Train.dat and Train.txt). In the cab the power/brake rates are now shown next to the speedometer, and the brake lever positions are corrected, thanks to Quork for them! I have modified the solmisation too, now it reaches the top frequency rate at 10 KPH (earlier this speed rate was 16 KPH, but IRL it's 10 KPH), and the solmisating motor sound's playback limit is now increased from 80 KPH to 90 KPH. The update is going to be available from the openBVE Managed Content by the time the crawler gets updated. I hope you'll like the new version even better!
Today, there is another big update released for the OeBB RailJet EuroCity train. The exterior RJ passenger car models are almost fully rebuilt by Lorenzo, and from now there is also a RJ controller car at the end of the train, it is also Lorenzo's model. All the cars now have bogies and rotating wheels, and as the modified sound model of openBVE 1.4.0.5 didn't seem to load all the sounds, I have changed the sound files' format from WAV to FLAC. Also the physics of the engine have got a large update, I hope now it's much closer to the realism.
The update will be available from the openBVE Managed Content too, just wait a few hours until the crawler gets updated!
Recently, I have started working again on the MÁV-Start railway line 46 for openBVE. But as I have planned to add all of the real train departure times to drive on, which includes an InterCity train as well (IC 838) which is pulled by a Siemens Desiro DMU (normally it's the H-Start 95 55 6342 028-5), I have decided to upgrade the Desiro's simulation, because the BVE 2 version by Martin Finken isn't realistic. So I have first modified the physics of the DMU, and since then I have remade the motor sound too. It wasn't as easy as my earlier works, but I have suceeded to work it out. The gearbox switchings speeds are not fully realistic, but I guess they will sound better this way. Here come 2 videos of the DMU.
