Greetings! This is my first post here, although I've been lurking for a while now.

I've made a few modifications to the original game intro. All I've really done is change a few vehicles and add a bit of variety to the company colours, plus it now uses a number of grfs (although none of them are essential and the intro looks fine even if you don't use any).

EDIT: Some more subtle changes - the trains on the left of the screen now drive on the right for one thing. I'm done playing around with this now, so hopefully someone might find it of use.

I might have a go at creating an entirely new intro...

Hello, PaulC, welcome to the forums!
It's always nice to have new people around, I'm glad you decided to register.
I'll take a look at your modified screen later and tell you

However, one advice for your screenshots: you best use the PNG file type: it gives better quality than JPG and can be viewed directly in the forums. PCX is not quite browser-friendly, so one can't see it at one glance.

Thanks for the tip. I've replaced the screenshot in my original post - hopefully that's better.

Yes very beautiful!
But I cant understand why there still is graphical glitch in TTRS rail crossings (Green line between rails)?
You can see it atop of menu box.

Oh ok! I never thought that they would be green

they look brown to me

have you got an old cathode ray tube screen? sometimes that can distort colours.

Well - my intro screen looks somewhat like this:

I agree, it has always looked green to me too. I very rarely use level crossings though, in the city centre at least.

Uzurpator, very nice indeed, I like it A LOT. Can you upload the file please?

there seems to be a combo signal that doesnt have an exit signal nearby

uzurpator · Post by **uzurpator** » 22 Apr 2007 12:06

m3henry - indeed. Not biggie tho since those trains are just stationary display.

Anyhow - I attach the file:
