Side to Side

[snoopy55]

This is a workable map from research-in-progress. This is a railroad that has chosen to leave Passengers and Mail to AMTRAK. The only 2 goals are get everything to the other side, and get Beer to everyone. It won't run until the installer is done.

atani - The needed info for doing an Installer is in RTF files. The Jelly_Bake folder sits in CustomAssets. I started to look into that and got confused from the get-go. I placed some ideas for possibly making it easier, and anyone who has done it should be able to put them into use. Thanks ahead of time for doing it .

Just a note. You will see a Passenger icon, but it is a 'No Passenger' icon. Ignore it. It was found that the game requires either Passengers or mail for a SAM. Thanks to Jancsika for discovering that.

Installer for this... Unfortunately something is funky on my laptop here and with this map my system goes big boom (traditional blue screen of death).

The error report is for igxpdx32.dll (DirectDraw(R) Driver for Intel(R) Graphics Tech, version 6.14.10.4764).

Intel released a new version of their drivers, I am going to install that and give it a shot again...

--- Edit
Applied the latest drivers (2007-03-02) and still getting BSOD


--- Edit #2
Removed original installer, it has major problems with it! If you already installed it, remove the Jelly entry from the RRT_Goods.xml GLOBAL XML.

I wonder what will happen on my computer? After all Vista does not even have the BSOD.

New installer attached to this post... This fixes up most of the issues that I encountered...

This map should also mention that it requires the BasinAndRangeDemoMods.fpk file.

Here is what I changed for the installer:

1) moved the Jelly_Bake bits into CustomAssets\Jelly_Bake (mistakenly installed to CustomAssets before)
2) renamed cariconsideviewsedit.tga and cariconsideviewsemptyedit.tga to jelly_car.tga and jelly_car_empty.tga

After fixing these I was successful in playing this map (a bit)...

Updated installer to include latest Beer fix and a fix for the Baker to accept cornmeal.
If you have a previous version, suggest removing Baker (Bakery if it is using the Winery for the images), Jelly Factory from CustomAssets/XML/RRT_Industries.xml and then reinstall using this new installer (1.0c)

Updated installer to include the Beer fix from Snoopy.

I installed the first one Mike. Do I have to move any files?

[vzbob]

In the Industry File for this 1 there is an error in spelling in the RRT_Industries_sides .XML the word Baker should be Bakery otherwise it show as red blob in the town. Just a Little 1 and the Cornmeal Has no where to goto.

[Warll]

I had a red dot in my starting city and when I clicked on the city SMR crashed .

Same here. The red dot likely corresponds to the bakery but I won't be able to play SMRR till I get home tonight so I can't check.

Are these files suppose to be in a separate folder in custom assets?

I changed that to Bakery and tried to load the game, It crashed. said Sid Meiers caused an abrupt termination and must close.

[atani]

Are these files suppose to be in a separate folder in custom assets?

Sorry, yes these should live in CustomAssets/Jelly_Bake instead of CustomAssets.

This was corrected in the 1.0a installer.

I will check the XML files again for the Industries and correct as needed.

atani - you stated:

2) renamed cariconsideviewsedit.tga and cariconsideviewsemptyedit.tga to jelly_car.tga and jelly_car_empty.tga

I see the reason for that, in a way. I was using the file I edited from Mid_East Iron folder. Worked on mine, but your way is better in the long run. The only problem is you forgot to change it in the RRT_Goods file. No problem, I've gone for the longest time trying to figure out why something won't work, only to find I missed 1 little thing.

vzbob and others - no error with Baker, don't change it. I used a different building as that Bakery may look good at the North Pole, but not here. There is an Industry called 'Baker' installed using the Refinery as a building. The flames are the burning of the plastic containers the jelly was shipped in.
The Cornmeal is made to go to the Baker. Jelly filled Corn Muffins...Yum Yum

I moved my files out and loaded the installer version, and aside from the Jelly car icon, all appears OK.
Thanks atani, I learned something from this with those icons.

[dwax]

How about the red blob, was that fixed with the new installer? I found it and clicked it and got a CTD.

[snoopy55]

Unless you or atani changed the Baker to Bakery, it should not have been there. I just installed the new one and it works.

atani - it added the 6 Names XMLs to the \CustomAssets\XML. Is there a reason for this?

[dwax]

Didn't change anything,updated to the new installer v 1.0b looked around and still have the red blob.
