Any grfs that people recommend? AI and trainsets/rules mods are mostly what I'm interested in.

We could stay on 1.1 with all the luxuries we've come to know in Chilli's patchpack, or we can go to vanilla 1.2.

I say 1.2. The patch pack will be updated. I am playing on a 2560x1600 30 incher, and the extra zoom levels are handy.

I also say 1.2, for the purely selfish reason that I'm on OSX and the patch pack isn't mac happy (and I want to play trains with goons)

So I wandered in to this thread by accident and holy crap, Transport Tycoon! I was the biggest Chris Sawyer fan back in the day. I downloaded the game and configs from the OP and got it running, even managed to remember enough to build some trains and deliver some goods, but I have a couple of stupid questions that I hope someone will be kind enough to answer: Are any of the AIs worth playing against? Can anyone recommend which ones are good? I saw the menu but I was paralysed by choice. What is the deal with GRFs? I found a menu for choosing which ones to include or not, but I wasn't really sure what I was doing so I added all the ones that were there except for those marked 'beta' or 'extra challenge' or similar. Finally: This might sound silly, but is there a way to have fewer types of trains in the game? From the original I was used to only having a few trains to choose from at any one time, my first game of openTTD I started in 1950 and already had 30 or so locomotives available, which was a little overwhelming.

These two things are related: GRFs are essentially mod packs. By choosing a bunch aside from the defaults you added a fuckton of new stuff to the base game!

Well that's new, you can't see other people's signs in multiplayer now unless you go to the wrench icon thing and choose "Competitors signs and names displayed" Also everyone get on the server you lazy ungrateful jackasses, we're playing this game again.

I've downloaded the r22553M stuff and all the GRFs from the server but I'm still getting a version mismatch, there was info in the OP but it seems to have gone now. Is there a newer file?

I've used a few and NoCAB seems to be one of the best, if not technically the best. However, it massively powergames and likes to build lots of airports at the start and will eventually try to steal your coal

I know we've not had the current game "mode" going for long, and I'm very biased as I find it hard to enjoy openttd when I'm not mainly doing passenger lines with cargodist or whatever, but how out when a good patchpack comes out for 1.2 we set the daylength to be massive, get infrastructure sharing going, get a fairly dense map, and just try and make the biggest most all-encompassing network we can manage. It could be a big project lasting a few days to about a month I guess, and provided it didn't lag to poo poo I think it'd look totally awesome by the end.

Yeah, after you've played with carodist passengers on normal mode just seems pointless. I'm not sure it would only take a day though - there's more to building a good(ish) network than just building the massive straight mainlines that freight needs. Sure, you might get the arteries done quickly, but connecting up each and every town and providing light rail networks in them would take a bit longer. Maybe you're right though. Actually, come to think of it, didn't we do something like this before where everyone claimed a town? I seem to remember that was pretty sparse though, so there weren't too many places to claim.

I beg to differ. I've been playing with the "Neighbors are important" script in singleplayer, and the goal of supplying the towns to grow them has been highly enjoyable.

Oh that sounds pretty cool, I just check out the tt-forums subforum for scripts and haven't really found anything interesting, maybe if someone did something like that citybuilder server it would be cool also. Jonnty posted:basically i just want to watch tiny little branch lines form off massive mainlines and then follow tiny little steam trains on them. is that too much to ask. really. You could always try OpenTTDCoop, I used to play with them and they were cool dude who did pretty much that exact thing on a huge level (500-1000+ trains at the end of the map) but yeah infrastructure sharing was always fun last time.

This game is really cool! (I never played the original Transport Tycoon). I have a couple questions, though: 1. At a depot, how can I get a train engine to pick up different carts? I made a loop from an oil rig to refinery to a city, so I want to go to a depot and offload my oil cars and pick up goods cars before going back around to the refinery. I can't find the command. 2. I notice screenshots using higher-resolution graphics, which looks wonderful as the old DOS graphics, while true to form, kind of makes my eyes bleed. However, the Wiki explanation for 32bpp is really hard to understand, which I guess I should have expected from railroad fans/Linux nerds. There's a lot of packages and tarballs and conflicting information on how to install this stuff. Could someone give me a simpler explanation? Thanks! I'll have to log on and play with you all once I learn how to play more.

Besides, you would end up with a pile of empty oil tanks in the refinery's depot and a pile of goods carts in your oil well's depot. You'd have to run a train every so often to take a stack of empty carts to their desired depots in order to keep the cycle going, which is too micromanagey to bother with considering only the small increase in profit.

Can someone post an explanation of Industrial Stations? It gives me like five new categories. I know some of them are animated, but I don't know which. Do all the tiles work as a station? Are some only for show? Also, for those who are interested, here's a link to the "Town Growth Challenge" wiki page. Should help you figure out what you're doing. EDIT: Also, Aero, your network is lovely but is currently jammed to all hell at "Olkela Heights" JerikTelorian fucked around with this message at 18:08 on May 8, 2012 |
