Re: cant make trains?
A little more information would help:
- What train set are you using?
- Which version of TTDPatch are you using?
- Can you post a screen shot of your train purchase window?

Please read the readme for whatever train GRF you using.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

what's png format?
this is the picture: http://img56.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture5cq4.jpg
i hope it is clear, i couldn't take a screenshot for some reason so i shot a picture with my webcam.
as you can see, the locomotive i bought is in the upper line, and beneath it are 3 iron ore hoppers.
i cant get those iron ore hoppers behind my locomotive.
AND i don't get that screen where i controll the locomotive. that one where you can make it stop or give it directions.

i googled the problem...
how do you think i got here?
Re: cant make trains?
Did you use the control key when buying?
If so then the engine is treated as a wagon and other wagons can not be attatched.
Just a suggestion.

Re: cant make trains?
png is an image file format. The image that you linked to is in jpg format. Also, it is not very good. A screenshot is better.
Below is a png image of the tool bar taken from a screenshot.
Screenshots can be taken by clicking on the "?" in the tool bar and selecting from the popup menu.
The screenshot will be in pcx format and will have to be converted to png.
An imaging editing program such as Irfanview can be used to do the conversion. What I can see from your image is that you are not using a train set but rather the default Transport tycoon trains. This is ok, but it brings up another question:
Is your game Transport Tycoon or is it Transport Tycoon Deluxe for DOS or is it Transport Tycoon for Windows?

so i gues its transport tycoon for windows?
Re: cant make trains?
Yes ... Now a couple of more questions:jump2limits wrote:well, the game map is TTWin95

- Are you using just the basic game?
- Or did you enhance it with OPENTTD?
- Or did you enhance it with TTDPatch?

Re: cant make trains?
Did you start the engine and immediately you stopped it? It will not allow attaching anything as it is not inside the depot even though the sprite appears there.

Re: cant make trains?
Which would be great advice. If there were any chance *at* *all* that jump is using OpenTTD. Look at the screenshot fail a little harder. Note the lack of a pushpin or resizer on the depot window, the lack of a push-pin on the vehicle list, the lack of a clone train button, the single trash can ... need I continue?dihedral wrote:oh - and start reading wiki.openttd.org
I think I've made myself suitably clear that that is not OpenTTD.wallyweb wrote:]Now a couple of more questions:

@jump2limits: We really need a *screenshot*, not a picture of your screen. Too much information is either missing or too hard to read in that image. And we need it converted from PCX to PNG.

i used the TTDPatch on the game.
maybe this is important: i copied the game to a memory stick from a friends computer. en then put the game on my laptop.
(the game works perfectly on his PC)
ps. i cant make a screenshot. when i make it and go to paint, i press paste and i only get a big black square.
Re: cant make trains?
When you start up Transport Tycoon, you should see the version of the patch you are using. What is it?jump2limits wrote:i used the TTDPatch on the game.

That is not the way wallyweb told you to make a screenshot. Try following his directions, please.jump2limits wrote:ps. i cant make a screenshot. when i make it and go to paint, i press paste

the version is: TTDPatch 2.0 Rev 1
and at first i copied only the installer and the patch. but then it said i missed Run.dll or something like that, so i copied al the files to and put them over the game folder so that it filled everthing i missed.
(still didn't have that run.dll file but it seemed i could download that one from internet)

OK ... Let's try some of these steps:jump2limits wrote:the version is: TTDPatch 2.0 Rev 1

1. Download a more recent version of the patch (latestw.zip for Windows TTD) from here. This will get you 2.5 beta 9. Some will suggest getting the latest nightly which is needed for some of the newer train sets, but lets get your game running properly first.
2. Next you will have to download the base graphics from here and install them in a folder called newgrf (This folder should be in your TTWin95 folder).
3. Now, you should have a file in your TTWin95 folder called something like newgrf.cfg ... If not, use Window's Notepad to create one so that it contains the following line:
Code: Select all
newgrf\00_base\ttdpbasew.grf 0 0 0 0 0
4. Once you have done all of that, give it a go by clicking on ttdpatchw.exe to start the game.
5. If you see any error messages, make a note of exactly what they say and post them here.
A note on your screenshots ... the reason MSPaint gave you a black image is because it does not support the pcx file type.
Do a Google search for Irfanview and install it. It is free and it supports pcx and will allow you to convert the pcx file to png.
