................he starts experimenting!!!!!

1700 trains on a 64x64 map

savegame take a look its looking awsome

idiot

Oh my god.. haha. I find that quite awesome.

Oh my word.....................................

I am sure you can possible fit just a few more on though...........

now do it on a 2048 2048 map.
ha

Whenever I get bored, I code somethong, preferable something like nobody have ever coded before...... then again I never get bored. Luckily I code anyway

If you had spent all that time doing something productive to OTTD, we would have a new cool feature by now or if you don't know how to code, you would have learned it

Are you trying to recruit people to the cause?

considering how many who played OTTD and how many who coded for it, I would say that we should try to improve that radio. We got less than 1%, that actually coded something that has been added

can you point me to an express "do-it-yourself" code course? LOL

Try these, they are a bit out of date, and it is C++ rather than C, but it is still good.

Thx, I'll give that a try

I think the ratio is fine: far more gamers exist than programmers, otherwise people would just make their own games (like i do, haha!). though getting more people on coding would be good.

Still - im a amateur games programmer and I cant make sense of most of the OTTD code, so I dont waste valuable hours of making my own games to only make the smallest difference to OTTD.

I didn't make sense of the OTTD source at first, but after only 2-3 days, where I also did other stuff, I had a working mac port. It's actually not as hard to start as you might think. I think the trick is to figure out what you want to do and then study the code regarding the feature. Don't try to understand more than you need to make your first patch

it would be cool to code for OTTD, ive only just started to learn C and to be honest time contrainsts stop me. How do you guys do it, little bit at a time or a massive slog at the weekend or somit?

O yeah looking for a copy of TextEdit, can't find a working download link anywhere. Anyone got any ideas?

GIYF

Well, after looking at your screen shots, I had to try something similar myself. using a 512x512 map, completly filled it with track going in a circle. i'm still not sure how long it takes to go from one end of the track to the other, becuse i get bored with watching it after a while, I do know it takes about 10 years to go from the inner ring out 15 rings. i'll go ahead and post it and let somebody else figure out how long it takes.

I"ve finally got all the signals in, so it should be ready for an atempt at getting the maxium number of trains running at once.

Man watching that on fast forward makes me feel ill..........

Hmm..

Idea:

Use stopall command in the console.
Remove all signals.
Pause the game.
Set vehicle break down to none.
Start all vehicles
Unpause the game.

Or:

Same as above, but don't make breakdowns to none.
