Erm... yes it is still a bmp, but the forum only checks filenames so it's fooled.

Anyway, you should be converting to .PNG instead, you don't lose quality that way _and_ you can upload the file correctly.

Just open the bmp with MSPaint (or any other imaging program), and use the 'save as' command.

It would be easier to set OTTD to make pngs instead of bmps

It does. Start playing the game.

My new game in the works:

I think he meant for Rylix to set the option to PNG...


Oh, good, you edited your post and now mine doesn't makes sense....

I know. I just replied to post where one suggested to convert it in photoshop

whoops, sorry

btw, someone might notice something a little 'different' about the trains in this game

do you mean to say tenders actually work now?

PS: btw not using PBS?

EDIT: I tried to post this earlier but it didn't work, it said it couldn't upload the file so I'll place here my picture of the AIs suicide trucks As a note the AI built over my line, not the oposite.

I don't use PBS because Ive never used it and never seen the benefits of it.

But when I read how Ill use it.

Uh, your PNGs are really BMP as well, Born :/

And i wondered WTF are they so big.

Im using a build compiled in Cygwin, so theres no png support.

Please use png's or jpg. I don't even try to open these huge images, and am sure most will just ignore them aswell.

If you can't convert to PNG by the lack of a tool to do it:
BMP2PNG to the rescue -> http://pmt.sourceforge.net/bmp2png/
(TIP: it creates smaller png's compared to regular graphical software wich use png libraries)

These are my first PBS i aint got A LOT of rail yet so not much chance to use em, but basically cos there is more than 1 entrance to the station PBS allows more than 1 train on the tracks as long as their paths dont cross whereas normally only 1 train could enter the station. only a basic example.

ZombieForever, on the second pic (the zoomed in one) the right hand entrance to the station, there are two signals, a PBS signal, preceded by a Pre-signal, there is no need for both, a PBS signal will suffice, all you need to do is ctrl-click on a pbs signal to change it to a pre-signal!

Hope that helps

Pre-signals aren't even necessary with PBS... Essentially PBS has that behaviour anyway -- it won't let a train enter unless its exit is clear.

ahhh kk thanks, from what ive seen i thought pbs had to be between normal signals

What are those black tracks?

PBS reserved tracks, it shows which tracks will be used by the train, I think they're there for debug purposes for now.
