Smr Simple!

The other problem you need to ask yourself is.........how fast is your computer and how much RAM do you have? SMR is a resource hog and cause any map to eventualy crash depending on your system specs.

What map is that? I have something close to that made as a 144 square map I am working on for my scenario.

The map is the best one than I have seen, is very original mainly as far as the news of the newspaper and the one of the copper mine. By the way, How you have inserted the photos of the newspaper in the news? Another thing, can be inserted photos in color in the news of the newspaper? I congratulat...

You do realize that the train is not taller than any other conventional locomotives right? You can increase the size of the drive wheels without increasing the height of the locomotive.

Thanks Falconer I was worried when the link stopped working.

The Railroad Wiki link is no longer working what happened?

Yes I think it would be an excellent addition to the steam loco line. Seems like most of the loco's people make are diesels. I hope someone takes it up it not only is an interesting loco but would fit perfectly in the scenario I am making.

Very interesting if take2 sold a version to steam to sell online I wonder how that will effect any future patches.

All you wonderfull 3D guru's out there would it be possible for one of you to make an F7 Hudson Hiawatha?

Snoopy you might want to look at this
to get you started.

OK btw forgot to mention that I'm sorry to hear of your health issues. I was a paramedic for 20years until I injured my back too badly and seeing everything I did messed with my head so much I needed to find a different living.

OK.........but then the icons shown in the game would still be the ones for the auto's.........I notice with the Santa scenario there is a folder \CustomAssets\Interface\Goods with icons in it could I add a machinery icon to that folder and make the icon change in the xml?

Snoopy what you could do is save the image as a gif that will reduce the number of colors to 256 also. I make all my graphics from scratch so it is really easy to control the number of colors involved although for full color XP or Vista icons I use the complete pallette with gradients and gradient m...

I like the idea of machinery instead of auto's how do you go about changing the icons?
Also is there a way to certain industries unavailable until a certain date like adding something into the xml?

Snoopy I'm not sure why you would convert something to an ico (icon) file when that format isnt used and ico files support millions of colors unless you are making pre-xp icons that only support 256 colors and no transparancy. I make alot of custom icons for programs and interfaces to earn a living....
