Locomotion complete overhaul

Hezkore · Post by **Hezkore** » 10 Jul 2009 04:39

I'm probably going to get banned or flamed for this.

But anyways, the game is great, I'd love to play Locomotion instead of OpenTTD but it's just so outdated compared to OpenTTD...
The interface is quite horrible and you can't even run it in Window mode properly.

Are there any plans to make a complete overhaul of Locomotion?

Its editing the exe which is illegal. Its been discussed many times.

I'm not sure that editing the .exe was eluded to there... but a whole replacement program (correct me if I'm wrong). It's an idea that has come to mind a few times, but I doubt that anyone is working on anything. It'd be great if they were, but I highly doubt anyone has the time/patience for it. Plus I have no idea about the legalities of it either.

But if someone not editing the original exe, but write a totally new; that's illegal too?
(It's just a train of thought, I can't write an exe)

writing a new one from scratchwouldnt be illegal so long as the rest of the stuff to go with it was legitimately obtained. I think.

Patching the exe should be legal also. It would require you to own your own legitimate copy of the exe / program

Everything seems to be illegal.

How exactly is OpenTTD done?

I do believe there was an openloco project in April, but it was a flop, you can search it, it enabled massive amounts of vehicles in the editor. I am learning how to code, (very slowly) in python and plan on learning C or C++ , and in many years I was hoping to have the skills to start up OpenLomo (I COIN THAT NAME....meh if you want to use it thats fine...), but thats going to be in years, don't go asking me anytime soon.

OpenLoco was an April fools day prank.

OpenLoco was possibly among the funniest things since the Monty Python Parrot Sketch. What a way to bait trolls. That truly is worth a

It was meant to be sarcastic.

What colour do you suppose that emoticon is? Norwegian Blue?

... what is "everything"?

*btw* There is a patch for bigger stations, but I can't help you with it because I didn't played it.

Tschö, Auge

that patch doesn't work i've tried it many times.

colossal404 · Post by **colossal404** » 14 Jul 2009 20:53

That patch works good for me, but thats edit the exe in the system memory, and does not saves it. Someone said it's illegal too...

Too bad it's not an ex-emoticon. It has not ceased to be.
