Jim Powers' Scenarios & Games (TTDP)

[Jim Powers]

Dear Members;

I upgraded (remodeled) my Headquarters (HQ). It's from the scenario called "Fashionable France".
So, I tried to be 'fashionable'.

Always,
Jim Powers

its a shame you cant send goods to your HQ, or else there would be a purpose to that truck stop...
Nice shot, you spend A LOT of time on designing shot like that?

Maybe some-one could come up with a new HQ that accepts goods i guess.

[SkeedR]

jim, what roads are they? where can i get them?

[White Rabbit]

You should replace the truck stop with a bus stop. HQs both accept and produce passengers, will you believe it or not! (Just query the land on which the HQ is on). Level 5 HQs also accept and produce mail, so maybe the truck stop does have some use?

[SkeedR]

*checks out this baloney*
WRONG! i just tried it and it does N-O-T-H-I-N-G. NOT ONE thing.

[jvassie]

Both of you are wrong!

HQ's accept passengers but NOT mail!
They also produce passengers but NOT mail!

Here's a screenshot.

Only the higher level HQs produce passengers at a fast enough rate to be economically viable for a bus line. The other ones produce 1 passenger every 2 minutes... ;P

EDIT: Reuploaded the screenshot, although it won't be of much use, because the HQs work differently in OpenTTD.

Dear Members;

I'd changed the HQ since I took that last pic. This way I get the use of a Heliport
with Passengers and mail, and it made it possible to advertise my company
as well. Below is the updated HQ version

Mr. Weirdy, When I saw those roads, I had to have them. The grf is: JCROADS_A.grf.
Thanks Mr. JC! A beautiful job. (He has bridges too if you like).

Mr. D00mh4mm3r, It didn't take much time, I just went to an area where there was room
to make it. I like water a lot, (I live by The Sea,) so two things come into play,
the water and separation of other buildings, making my HQ stand out.

Thanks Guys, for the comments.

Always,
Jim Powers

[SkeedR]

what hq are you using, mine doesn't accept/produce anything!
[EDIT] where can i get them roads?

[Raichase]

Jim, I'll have to move my company into your HQ, as I've got no more room left to develop around mine (although mine is in the centre of a city).

Here's a screenshot.

You are using OTTD. We are talking about TTD Patched.

I hope that clears things up folks.

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Weirdy;

Mine doesn't either, but, my heliport does.

Mr. Raichase, I never hardly put a HQ inside a city. Reason? There are too many
changes in it's development to final status. So if you place a road so that you
connect it to the parking lot, soon it will be in another direction and it doesn't look right.

So, Mr. Weirdy is using OTTD and that's why I can't get his screenie? Ugh!

Always,
Jim Powers

p.s. Here's a screenie of my double tresseled RR lines to Nice.

*cough* you mean white rabbit. and no, i use TTDp

You make a good point - perhaps next game, I shall set myself up a nice private HQ by the water .

As to the screenie, I think there is a problem with the ".png" file, rather than a problem with the game. It should display as normal, but it doesn't. Doesn't matter though, as it may have caused more confusion amongst everyone .

One was talking about OTTD, another was talking about TTD (Patch), about the same object . Quite a mess, you will agree? .

p.s. Here's a screenie of my double tresseled RR lines to Nice.

Such... majestic... scenery! Nice looking train too

For some reason, the actual physical attachment file does not exist, but the database entries do. Something may have gone wrong with the forum just as it was uploaded, I don't know really... if it's reuploaded, it should be OK.

Dear Members;

I'm having such a good time with my 'Fashionable France' game that I've
not got back yet to continuing with my scenario creations. (Sorry about that.):oops:
Here is Paris, of course.

Dear Interested Members;

I was pleasently suprised to find out just how popular my USA scenarios were doing on
Mr. Krtaylor's fine web sitehttp://www.as-st.com/ttd

From his web site alone, the total downloads, as of last Saturday, of my scenarios are as follows;

Northeast Rails has a total download of 878
Virginia Rails has a total download of 741
Mid Central Rails has a total download of 485
Lumber Jack has a total download of 321
Western Pacific Rails has a total download of 311
Jim's New York City has a total download of 128
Extreme Cities has a total download of 118
Industrial Zone has a total download of 109
Northeast Rails Part II has a total download of 95
And, Oil Heaven has a total download of 86

Lumber Jack, Jim's NYC, Extreme Cities, Industrial Zone, NE Rails Part II, & Oil Heaven
all were only placed on his web site just over 2 months. So, this is some pretty
impressive information indeed. Don't you think?

Always,
Jim Powers

[Raichase]

I think word of mouth, and people seeing the quality of your scenarios in other peoples screenies really helped out a lot.

Congratulations Jim, you must be the most downloaded person on TT forums .

I know I look to your scenarios for inspiration when designing my own .

Keep up the good work mate.

Oh, and about your other post? The bit where you said you are having too much fun to work on new scenarios? I wouldn't sweat it, as the main thing is that you enjoy your work. If you have no time to enjoy your own scenarios, why make them? .

Cheers!

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Raichase;

I really want to warmly Thank You for your comments. I'm sure that I
don't deserve the kind words you took time to express, but, I do appreciate them.

With true TTD spirit and unity that knows no bounds, we all are helping each other make
The Game stay alive with ever increasing enthusiasm and the added wonderful features
and different vehicles keeps us all so very fond of TTD.

It's like having a blast with some 6,000+ people from almost every country
in the world. What fun!

(You made my day, Big Guy.)

Always,
Jim Powers

Interested Members of TTD;

I've just releasted my latest scenario called "Super Subways II"!

"Super Subways II" was taken from an old scenario called 'Large Cities and Subways' I made,
(and never released it in TT-Forums,) even before I knew about Mr. Drexel, Mr. Owen Rudge, etc.,
or The Patch. Anyway, I've added the latest features and did a major 'tweak' job on it .
And it came out exceptionaly well! I recommend you use Mr. Krtaylor's US SET Trains, since it's American.

Here's it's screenie and the scenario
"Super Subways II". Have fun!!:lol:

Always
Jim Powers

[SkeedR]
