most of my junctions were designed before corner speed limits. the ability to drive up hills without slowing down to turtle spees is a great feature, but the speed limits on corners, and taking ages to enter a station can sometimes be quite annoying.

Why is it all people post screenies with:

Their biggest junction?
Their best station?
There busiest factory?

People should try to post more interesting screenshots. There are a good no. of topics entitled "Best Junction Layouts" or something like that. Post that sort of thing in there!

Just my 2 pence

agreed...

ah you're angry, sorry, here can things be said (replied), and you can post any pic you want, but, you posted so many pics of the same thing it wasn't fun anymore to read this topic. (every pic seemed to be the same)

but it would be fun though if everybody posted a FEW pics so that he/she can get comments

Im not trying to get into a flame war here, i understand where you are coming from, i personally cant see why pictures following a thought out storyline can not be as interesting as 'this is my busiest station'. The topic in the ttd forum is full of 'story' pics and people (such as The Irish) always comment on how nice they are, theyve put thought into their work, not just ctrl-s, post in the forums. Theyve thought it out, planned a story, and the end result is fabulous. Thats all i was trying to do!

No need to worry, ive started a new game for the biggest passenger network challenge. Screenshots to follow shortly!

I'll comment your pics

(and you're totaly right in your last post)
I strongly recomment more people to post pics, so that this thread stays fun to read!!!

Oh and a little question, how do you make your pics ''seeable'' for everybody without anybody clicking on it (I keep posting it as attachments

)

?

He crops them to under 800 wide. (I think, under ~40KB too.)

dodo · Post by **dodo** » 29 Jun 2005 17:47

So if I make the pics smaller (800*600 - 40 kb) they'll appear without clicking on it

White Rabbit · Post by **White Rabbit** » 29 Jun 2005 17:49

Hmm...is it set for 800x600 or your screen's resolution?

dodo · Post by **dodo** » 29 Jun 2005 17:53

The resolution of pics (read above)

(but this IS oftopic so I'll stop

)

EDIT: I now Know how it works

jvassie · Post by **jvassie** » 29 Jun 2005 19:26

Thanks dodo!

I have quite a big monitor, all i do is open the screenshots in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, supplied with Win XP, and crop the photo so it only shows the interesting parts of the photo. I then save the pictures and post them here. I think the max size allowed to post here (Owen will know though!

) is 800*600 px.

Hope that clears things up.

Ok, I got some screenshots from a sub-arctic game I've been playing for many hours.

This is the first time I've ever did anything serious in the sub-arctic (in fact, I've been playing OpenTTD for only about a week), so don't expect anything amazing. Also, you'll notice that I have chosen the above-snow-line area of my railroads, because those are the places with the best scenery, and least messy and inefficient junctions (doesn't mean that they're not there, though

). Ok, here we go. I will call the whole screenshot set: 'GOLD RUSH!' Er...yeah, have fun.

EDIT: And....NOOO! Stupid comment trunctuator!!!!!!!!! But you can live without it, I guess. Let your imagination flow...!

EDIT 2: NOOO! Preview button has failed me! Remember to look at each picture from the bottom up, or it won't make chronological sense.

My gas-guzzling train continues its journey. I'm surprised I haven't switched to maglev or monorail, even by 2046. Well, I don't fancy converting 84 trains manually.

White Rabbit · Post by **White Rabbit** » 29 Jun 2005 21:54

There! The train has reached its end of the line, but I decided to post some screenshots of the return trip as well.

White Rabbit · Post by **White Rabbit** » 29 Jun 2005 21:55

It's almost over! Just a...few...kilometres...left!

EDIT 2: A free biscuit goes to the person who can spot the anomaly in the screenshots! Hint: I never once took my attention away from taking those screenshots.

dodo · Post by **dodo** » 30 Jun 2005 09:12

the anomaly? what do you mean with that?
Oh and nice screenies, now more people are posting them so this topic is becoming fun!

White Rabbit · Post by **White Rabbit** » 30 Jun 2005 11:03

By anomaly, I mean that something doesn't make sense in one of the screenshots.

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » 30 Jun 2005 11:11

the snowline on the tracks! those going down the hill, you have a few tiles of no snow, and a few tiles of extreme snow right next to it as you go uphill.(train goes downhill there i beleave)

dodo · Post by **dodo** » 30 Jun 2005 13:52
