Transport Tycoon Deluxe 32bit version

Obviously things have evolved somewhat since I last played (a long time ago!). Maybe I had an old version. For instance I never had to update the track to take electric. Had steam trains, then diesel, then some kind of monorail thing for which the track had to be replaced. It was electric, but didn't look like regular track.

Also I could never build embankments. It wasn't an option. Like in your image you have the track next to the red (150mph if I remember right?) bridge, I could never do that because of the incline. :( Couldn't build a station that big either. Biggest was 5 by 4 I think.

It just seems very different to the game I used to play. Build a station, link it up, build 2 trains, load here, go here, unload, repeat. :p I didn't ever have a network. And 150 trains all running on the same track?! :eek: :o I obviously wasn't ambitious enough. :p
 
U never played megarail co. ( desert scenario where you start with a rail network.) in the original TTD ?
If not then go play it and learn to make networks there, I learned there.


All the extra features you mentioned are added by the openTTD mod, you can disable most of the new features like building on enbankments, elec track etc...
Upgrading track is easy so it's no problem with rebuilding it all when u get elec track for the elec trains, diesel&steam can ride on both elec and normall track.

You can still play it the old way and make just 1 or 2 trains per small network, but this is just much more efficient imo, u can get a lot more trains in less time.
Atm its 170 Trains :), they don't all need to get over the intersection, but most of em do, about 75%, they all except 4 or 5 of my current 170 trains are on that network and can reach the intersection or station in the pic.
 
Okey Dokey I think that I've managed to get the game installed (thanks for the link to the original) and before I lose what remains of the little life that I have away from the PC playing this am I right in thinking that to get the game looking like the piccies on the first page it will take....

<holds arms out wide>

...that long to download a stack load of GRF files to make...

<arms not that far apart>

that much of a difference...?

If that's the case it's a pity as I would have liked a bit of eyecandy, even if the game is sooo addictive....!!!!!
 
I didn't know there was a second or updated version. Never had to build networks, managed passing places with signals and 2 trains but that was it. :p

I don't know about any desert scenario, just the regular options like breakdowns, industry settings etc. Used the map editor a few times to build mountains and stuff but no desert stuff.

Are ships and buses still rubbish? Always used to stick with trains, although planes often became quite good in latter stages when you could build a bigger airport. :)
 
no-one online :(
Obviously there have been a couple of people because stuff has changed tho :P

needs a reset really cause I think I'd have to max out the 23.6million dollar loan to build a single route. That's 2360 clicks on the borrow 10,000 button. Shame my company died cause it was doing well until it got stuck :confused: :(

on another note.. /me imagines what openttd would look like if it had World In Conflict's graphics.




and what the framerate would be like

Always check your tunnel length before clicking.. just spent £400m on a tunnel lol. Making use of it though - get £2m each trip :D
 
Time for a new game methinks. Running cost of your average mail truck outstrip the profit by a bit. You get a decent 50k per load, but with running costs of 300k....

Besides i think having blown Half a billion on a one upping the latest my Hq is better then yours dealy, i think its time i got my money taken away.

Oh yeah, people keep coming back online to find chunks of the rail network missing. The problem is UFO's paying visits while they are offline, best to turn off disastors i think.
 
does anyone know what the limits are for signposts and custom town names? I'm still working on my 2048x2048 map of the uk and the game is telling me I can't add any more signposts or town names. Weird thing is, it will add more towns but only if I don't change the names. Does anyone know how to get round this?
 
Well the map is generated, been reading through the readme on some of the settings and it's all ready to go. Will be turning it on at exactly 12:00(GMT)

Click to expand...
Hehe, did you see my mountain? I didn't get a chance to see you out-do that, got a screenshot?

And yes, that cost me well over half a billion. I wanted to create it's own little intergrated transport network running through the mountain, but I ran out of cash. Apparently creating mountains and moving lakes is rather expensive...
 
I turned your Island mountain in just a regular mountain, i gave it that integrated railway system (then managed to cause a 6 maglev pile up... ignore that) and i had to make the mountain even bigger to fit it all, which is where most of my cash went.

Would post a screenie but i cant find the server, somethings borked and instead of seeing the name of all the servers im just seeing the IP's... and i dont know the IP :(

That was from earlier in the night. After that i made it bigger, got the 3 trains running around synchronised a bit without jamming and blew the rest of my billion.

Server seems to be back, and reseted.
