Post Number 3

Is there any way that a converter could be made to do such things like change a...

TTD Saved Game --> Locomotion Saved Game
Locomotion Saved Game --> TTD Saved Game
TTD Scenario --> Locomotion Scenario
Locomotion Scenario --> TTD Scenario

Perhaps it could be intergrated into Owen's Saved Game Manager

(Just a suggestion)

Thanks,

Oh well, I suppose it was worth a try...

There is nothing to stop you recreating scenarios by hand.

enjoy your games.

The first two are without a doubt, no. Everything is different in terms of vehicles and structures and stuff. But why couldn't scenarios be semi-converted? You'd have to re-make the towns and industries, but the landscape should be doable. Especially for TTD to Loco.

Okay, well thanks anyway

i dont see why it couldnt be done, it would just be A LOT of work to code, and it woudlnt be exact. i mean there would be a translation, not really a 1:1 conversion.

Maby the .exe may need to be changed for that, if that so, then the modders refuse it until the UELA changes

The conversions doesnt fit even if we dont 1:1 copy them. Its just technical almost impossible to make do it good. The thick things arent possible in (o)TTD (At least as far i know)

e.g.

Corners
- Small
- Middle
- Large

Elevation
- Straight
- Corner

Stations
- Underground
- On Bridges

Tunnels
- Corners
- Signals
- Crossings
- Elevation

But if you convert from a TTD Scenario to Loco, you have no track to worry about, only roads with tight corners. Elevation, stations and tunnels are all possible, as Loco can do everything TTD does.. but better. The only issue i can think of is that TTD tiles are twice as high as Loco ones. A train track needs two levels before anything can be built over it, in TTD it only needs one.

But from TTD to Loco you have the problems with the size of the maps; the train types etc etc

norfolksouthern37 · Post by **norfolksouthern37** » 26 Jul 2005 14:43

thats why i said translation not 1:1 conversion...

this way you wouldnt have to worry about the different parts loco uses over ttd, because youd have something that said this part = this in ttd... ugh...

anyway, it wont get done im sure, im just saying that its probably not impossible just not likely that anyone will ever do it.
