Hey,
This was kind of cool. I wanted a map to showcase all the trains, tried to do it with a stock map, but did not work out quite like I wanted.
I created a map with ten metropolis cities lined up on the left and ten lined up on the right. In my first iteration somehow the second city on the left got moved to below the right column.
I connected each city on the left with its pair on the right. But I did it in 2 groups so that you have 20 tracks side by side, no switches. That way I have 20 trains all running side by side across the top and 20 more across the bottom. Problem is that somehow there are 24 trains. I ran 4 lines from the backside of one city to the backside of another. It was really cool when I set my view up looking down one group of 20 tracks and unpaused. 20 trains coming at you all at once. I think I will try it again with all 44 tracks side by side.
It was easy enough that you guys can try it yourselves. Only set-up the trains you want. In doing this I did notice that 2 trains were identical and they were not supposed to be. I need to jot down the info. It is a real pain not having internet at home.
I ought to post screenshots. How exactly could I do this?
Thanks,
Skeeter
Tried this?
Turn the BMPs to JPGs using a program like 'DDS Converter 2', which is free, and dispite its name, handles more than jus DDS files. Then, at the bottom of the 'Post a Reply' screen, click on 'Add an Attachment'. The JPG style is better to use than BMP because the BMP is a wider picture and requires the viewer to scan side to side to see it all.
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....
For best style used GIMP2 or PainNet to convert BMP style to PNG(Portable Network Graphic) style This program can reduce file size up to 80% without quality lossessnoopy55 wrote:Turn the BMPs to JPGs using a program like 'DDS Converter 2', which is free, and dispite its name, handles more than jus DDS files.
