Electrified Rail for Open TTD

ZenBKage · Post by **ZenBKage** » 04 Jul 2005 14:16

hey guys, i downloaded the grf for electrified rails, put it in the data sub-directory in the Open TTD folder, added the line to the config file, and it appears in the graphics setup in the game but does not allow me to lay down the track. even if i change the date to a current year.

any suggestions, or even if its supposed to work or not? thanks very much.

I'm just busy allowing electric rails for OpenTTD, currently the game doesn not support it. I hope to have some usable results in 1-2 weeks.

ah ok:) thanks mate. i really love Open TTD...i find it a lot more friendly to get my head around. IS it superior to the ttdpatch? will Open TTD replace it fully?

That's anyone's guess. Hi. Welcome to the forums, to another aussie! We're taking over!

Seriously, though. Check out the ausset in the TTDPatch Graphics forum

Good to see another Australian has joined up, and from brisbane to

and in my opinion Open TTD is a hell of a lot better, i mean it has huge maps, 5000 trains, 5000 planes, 5000 ships what more could you want? *nudge to developers* more trains would be nice......

Grab I4 from the integrated build post, you wont be disappointed.

Yeah, that's right 5001 trains would truly be perfect.

Ok, question: didn't the electrified rails replace monorail for TTDPatch, and you could put the electric wires right on top of normal track? Wouldn't that be rather too much for OpenTTD because monorail is an entirely different rail from normal wooden/steel rail?

EDIT Woohoo! I'm a traffic manager now!!!

Electric Rails in OTTD would be a cool feature. It looks odd now seeing electrics without Catenary after playing with it for so long in TTDP

indeed. I for one would like them seperated.

Celestar, are you including keeping the monorail in your findings?

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » 06 Jul 2005 12:36

how about the option to choose between "Catenary" is it? overhead wires, and 3rd rail. also, i don't know if theres a difference, but highspeed virgin railways tracks too for the tilting trains(supose its the "Real life" version of the games monorail tracks idea, except you can run standard trains on it aswell).

I'd like to keep monorail, too, or at least have the option of which of the two(Monorail, Mglev) to scrap in favour of electril rails; I really hate monorail track graphics...

this is OTTD, we can add as many new rail types as we want

I thought about LEGO's rail, what do you think?

p.s.
welcome to tt-forums Deepsmeg.

LEGO rail would be very nice

Death · Post by **Death** » 15 Aug 2005 17:55

So, we need LEGO stations too.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 15 Aug 2005 18:14

No. Toyland is Toyland, not LegoLand.

Death · Post by **Death** » 15 Aug 2005 18:23

OK.But I think we need new stations (of any type)
for the Toyland.

Thanks for the welcome

Played TT for years, on and off.

Progressed to TTDPatch.
Advanced to OPenTTD.
Advanced to the nightlies.

I remember when I started with the demo on the Civilisation CD.
Took me a while to understand the concept of "industries" and just had trains running around everywhere. Or as close to running as a pluddyputtchoochoo can.

LEGO stations would own. With little LEGO men running around!

You can't see the LEGO men at OpenTTD scale, I think.

BTW, there is already a LEGO set in progress. Why not discuss this in that topic?
