Transport Tycoon Forums

Well, I bothered going to the whale TT-World web page or whatever it's
called...

First complaint is major... WHY is the main body of the 'Hall of Fame' set
to
BLINK?!? How are you supposed to read it?

Second complaint is minor... I believe you should put something in the
'Patches' section about those being CHEATS, no offense to Josef, but
that's
what it is. I also think that people in the high score chart (I don't know
if
it's this way already) should not be allowed in unless they use Transport
Tycoon in normal operatiing mode. They should also be set at a certain
difficulty setting... I mean, I could set mine to custom and rack up a
whole
truckload of money easily... how about medium? And you should also
disallow
custom scenarios... I know I purposefully built a real money-maker with
two
cities of 5,000 people with a space of five squares (or is a large airport
6?
Oh well) in the middle. Built 16 planes. Made a lot of money.

But I don't know if you did this already or not, because I can't read the
rules...

Third complaint is minor also... in the Music and Sound Effects section,
there
ARE no MP3s even though it says there are, and also the link to download
all
the MIDIs does not work.

Fourth complaint is minor also... I don't believe I ever said you could
use the
screenshots I sent you... the ones of the MagLevs blowing up? I may have
said
you could... but I don't remember. Don't get me wrong, I don't want them
gone,
I just wanted to make sure you didn't put them up without my permission.

Fifthly, you should put the TTDLX music on the main page into a seperate
frame,
because it stops playing when you change sections.

Last thing... I figured out how to read the details for the High Scores
(copy+paste) and I wanted to know if TTDLX games were allowed?

Sorry about this, I'll stop it. I can't see this at all on IE5. I only
noticed it after proff reading the HTML. It should be fixed now

Nope I haven't. I don't want to change this. If I set a standardized rule,
it might as well be a competition. The idea is to send in anything that you
have had high scores with. Doesn't matter how, just send it.

Third complaint is minor also... in the Music and Sound Effects section,
there
ARE no MP3s even though it says there are, and also the link to download

Big deal over whether there are no MP3's. When I made this page Chris Locke
said he was going to make all the TT songs into MP3's but it doesn't look
like it will now. If it really bothers you so much, I'll get rid of it. You
should be able to download all the midis now.

Hmmm...you sent them to me after I posted in the group asking for
screenshots. I assumed you already knew that they were going there.

Fifthly, you should put the TTDLX music on the main page into a seperate
frame,
because it stops playing when you change sections.

I was thinking this, *but* the midibar in the side frame would be too big.
And I can't have it running automatically as it would be too slow to load
and loads of people on here complained about that.

Firstly, Netscape's browser supports a lot more than Internet Exploder, so
may
have done that without realizing it. I was just letting you know of it.

Secondly, I think I'll submit all the results I've had for the CUSTOM
difficulties with very easy for everything. But I'd like to know how you
get
the perfomance history rating over 900.

Thirdly, I just went there expecting MP3s. When there were none, I wasn't
sure
if you had forgotten them or whatever.

Fourthly, I had no idea what you were going to do with them. I didn't even
know
of this web site (well, I did after everyone complained about MIDI
embedding or
some such) existed.

Fifthly, I know that MIDIHAVEN (http://www.midihaven.com/midi) has a side bar like
that... take a look at it. It works rather well.

Thanks for answering my complaints, though.

Are the MIDIs that important? Anyone who has the game can listen to them
by playing the game, and I can't imagine anyone would go out to buy the
game specifically cos they heard the sound files on a website!

A debate on this on news://news.multimania.com/multimania.html happened some
weeks ago. The HTML experts that we could see there concluded that IE
supported HTML and CSS much better than NS... But, oh yes, that's [OT]
