Converting to electric?

Converting to electric?
Is there an option to make an existing (non electric) train line to electric? I can see a curved arrow in the options menu for the railway but I am not sure what it does or how to do it.
Also can you run steam and diesel trains on an electric line?
Cheers!

TTD can't do this. OpenTTD can do it with a button with a yellow arrow pointing over a railway line (as you seem to have described). Just select electric rails, press the button, and drag it over your to-be-converted tracks. I don't remember how TTDPatch handeld this.

Re: Converting to electric?
Also, how hard is it to whack the report button when a OpenTTD question appears in the Transport Tycoon Deluxe section? Isn't that what it's there for?
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.

Re: Converting to electric?
IMO people can post in the TTD section if they don't really know wether they're using OpenTTD or TTDPatch. I can imagine newbies don't really know the differences between TTD, OpenTTD and TTDPatch. Besides, there's probably barely anybody there who uses plain TTD.

Translated - Hi Rijinals, for future referance there is a OpenTTD section for these types of questions. Please use these in future.DaleStan wrote:Also, how hard is it to whack the report button when a OpenTTD question appears in the Transport Tycoon Deluxe section? Isn't that what it's there for?
Reply - Thaks DaleStan - I will in future and thanks for pointing that out for me.
Some people have such a way with words!!!
Re: Converting to electric?
So instead of them actually figuring out which program they use, we are just supposed to guess? I'm oh so terribly sorry, but my crystal ball broke last night. You'll have to give me your spare.Purno wrote:IMO people can post in the TTD section if they don't really know wether they're using OpenTTD or TTDPatch.

Re: Converting to electric?
Dalestan. You can just move this post if its bothering you that much can't you?
You can not come down on new people like a tonne of bricks - instead build a train with Mineral Wagons and transport them to the local town factory!

I think if he could, he would've done that already.Rijinals wrote:Dalestan. You can just move this post if its bothering you that much can't you?
In fact, I suspect him to have "whacked" the report button already.

Re: Converting to electric?
Amazingly this appears to have magically apperaed in the General Open TTD forum although actually it probably should be in the OpenTTD Problems?
Seriously though this has already been answered!
