too heavy trains

Post by Looon »

sorry for my english
I build a train. When fully loaded it weight is about 110 tons peer waggon (for examle sugar load) so 5 waggons plus train are heavy about 800-900 tons which for most of the trains is too heavy, at the same time same train but owned by Computer weights exactly as it should be (I've calculate weghts from given in the "Buy Window" from Train depo).
What should I do?

try turning freight trains off in ttdpatch.cfg, or lowering the number.

Looon, can you please post your ttdpatch.cfg? off and 1 should be identical. If they aren't, Patchman needs to see it. A savegame may also be useful.

There's several things you can do;
- Patch developing - I can't help you with that. You better ask some patch dev (like patchman, eis_os, etc)
- Making GRFs - Which I guess you want to do.

Making GRFs exists from two things. Drawing the sprites and coding the NFO. If you want to learn drawing sprites for TT, a good start is my drawing tutorials (link in sig). Information about coding NFO can be found at http://www.ttdpatch.net (in the wiki, I believe).

Alternatively, there are some other thingies related to GRF making you can do, such as doing research, or co-ordinating things.

He means with [img] and [/img] tags around the url to your picture. I.e.:

Code: Select all

Yes. Like Purno's signature.

However, where do you upload the picture to? In your examples, you have /testimage.jpg, but where do you store the image?

You could PM it to yourself, or upload it like something like http://www.imageshack.us .

It is indeed, but not if you ask here. Please read the news section.

Hi

I have a noob question for the mods. :bow:

Im trying to install my copy of TTDLX onto my new computer that runs Vista.

As I understand it I need to install the game then install the patch.

When I go to install the game from the CD I get the floowing error message 'This application does not support full screen mode, click ok to close the application'.

Im not too great with Computers. I dropped my screen resoloution to 800x600 to see if this helped but it didnt. Can anyone helf please.

Thanks

Steve

So you cannot install the game from the original CD? Hmm...

To run TTD you need either TTDPatch or OpenTTD. As far as I know TTDpatch requires the game to be installed, OpenTTD only needs certain files which *might* just be copyable from the CD.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the TTD CD-structure. If you can see the .grf files at the CD, you probably can install OpenTTD without installing TTD. I'm not too sure though.

TTDPatch does not require that TTD be installed, provided that you use a recent 2.5 beta or a nightly.

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunatly my IT knowledge ends when it comes to installing patches and unzipping files so Im afraid im going to abandon all hope of playing TTDLX again and look elsewhere for a game to play.

Have fun

one question about the froums, why are some attachments in black boxes and why are some i n Grey boxes?
May the force be with you.
