Transport Tycoon Forums

Hi everyone!

I sure hope this isn't the weekly question every newbie asks
But... yep I'm new to THIS newsgroup.

I have played TTDLX many years now, with VERy much pleasure, and every few
months I get addicted again and play it for many many hours. One of the
best
games ever!!

But here's my question: I don't mind about results, 'winning' or
competetors. For me the game is pure fun as long as it gets to building.
My
favorite are the maglev trains. Well, is there a cheat around with which I
can hop to the 2000's and/or with which I can have a lot of money to
build?

Again, I don't consider it as cheating, the fun for me is to build and
improve my tracks.

Btw, in a new version there should be an option with unlimited money and
start date. ))

Take care,

Typically I play myself almost to death every now and then, and after that
I
don't play it for a few months. Strange thing, but TTDLX attracts my
attention every few months.

I also heard about a rumour that there will be a newer version. Is there
info about it on internet? You don't have to tell me all the ins and outs

Hi Trikky, Chris & Edward,
Many thanks for your warm welcome

I already have downloaded the TTDPatch, and it works just fine.

Peter who posted this is one of the people involved in making this game.
Looks pretty good. I'm just wondering...will there ever be an English port
of 3DTT?

There is not much to port yet, you even cannot fill a small paper with the
words used in 3DTT. I like icons much more - just as the original.
But of course there will be an English version. Maybe even the next
one... -
it will take about 2 weeks until the update from now. I have a small
to-do-list that becomes smaller every day.

I'm wondering.. how are you planning to release this game? GPL?

Hi Trikky, Chris & Edward,

Hey no problems. That's what were here for

I already have downloaded the TTDPatch, and it works just fine.

It's a good feature in that it adds lots of elements that were missing
from
TTDLX.

I'd have to agree with you there. I have put TTDLX down for the moment in
the run up till Christmas, but once I get bored with any new games, I'll
be
straight back to the comforts of TT!

I very often give the details on them all, but seen as though you don't
want
all the details, I'll give you a brief resume....

Transport World: Looked like the company who were going to answer
everyones
calls. Sadly, seem to have vanished

http://mdstudios.virtualave.net
or http://www.tpa.freeuk.com

3DTT, a *real* version of TT being developed. As Peter said in the post
earlier, the site is

http://www.digitalprojects.com/way-x

And a third Traffic Giant. I don't know much about this, but it seems to
be
by German developers, and the English site is not updated as often

Nope AUSTRIAN developers... don't you get us mixed up

I'm wondering.. how are you planning to release this game? GPL?
No. 3DTT has all features to become a top ten hit so we have to be careful
what we will do with it. There are already people interested in
publishing,
I have to do some journeys in January.

Nah...I much prefer the Monorails...(They have better sounds!)

Sorry...I have never heard of one. And I think the onlyu person that could
help with ther year hop would be somebody like Josef Drexler. He wrote the
best patch out for the game. If it can be done he should be able to tell
us.......Josef?

Wow...Good luck.....

I have been wondering if you will be using what we have been discussing in
this NG.....

I realise that most of the groundwork will have already been done but I
think its great to think that I have helped mould a new game (Even if it is
in a minute ammount!)

Who has expressed an interest?
Or are things at to early a stage to release the info?

Every time I say: "great idea" you can be sure there was an effect.

Oh, if you want to show up in the credits, I have loads of things to do
and
to know...
There is an English discussion forum on the website now but not many
people
coming.

It is really too early. And I am only invited yet, we did not talk about
conditions and numbers. According to the team I will have to press out
some
special conditions, because some of them declared to leave WAY-X if 3DTT
becomes too commercial.
He have a vision to make a perfect game and sometimes we discuss about 2
weeks about little things which would be decided within 10 minutes in a
profit-oriented company. Therefore you all will have to wait until 2001 I
think. Beta testers wait until end of 2000 only.

Who will be the beta testers? <hint, hint!!>

Everybody who gave feedback to the alphas will be invited to be a beta
tester.
Oh, nearly nobody from here yet...? I thought you all download it like
hell - or does the German language prevent you from understanding the
principles?
OK, we will see the feedback of Alpha 6.0 which has a language option.

Well, after much fiddling, tweaking, and translating, I finally got it to
work. It said Framerate: 1 per second, which is very bad :'-( Perhaps I've
chose the wrong OpenGL driver. According to the setup screen, I have three
different ones.

I'll see what happens if I turn off the fog and
trees...................................well...there was slightly more
response, but I think that maybe it's either

a) Wrong setup options

b) My poor PC is straining at the leash to try and work the game. I think a
233 isn't really powerful enough

c) I have low system resources or too many background programs running.
