Re: Creating a Map from Digital Terrain Data and Google Maps

I made the rest of the tables, and gave them a full testing. They work. (0!!0) Obviously, the way to test them is with Mount Everest. Aint nothing taller than that. So, I grabbed the DEM for that area and exported 8 BMP images, using one elevation table after another. Stacked the BMP's in Photoshop...

Re: Release: Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker (Multiplayer)

I can't host either, don't control a router. I installed anyway just to look around. The game was running at resolution 800x600. So I went to increase that. While there I turned off the switch for Disable Hardware T&L because I have dgVoodo2 installed. I naively assumed that it would also apply...

Re: Release: Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker (Multiplayer)

I will look into those bugs later Gumboots and RulerofRails! Would be a nice challenge to fix them, and furthermore; I will try to get some of the bugfixes from Milo's patch in my modified RT3_MP.exe as well, but in order to do so I have to extensively test whether the fixes are not breaking multipl...

Re: Release: Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker (Multiplayer)

There seem to be. I tend to haul it out for intermittent binges, which I suspect is what everyone else does. Fired it up last night for the first time this year, and discovered I still like it. That's good to hear! A little off-topic, but I remembered that you are editing the exe for this? I really...

Re: Back again.

Well, it's a financial decision. :-( With the cost from the ISP going up and my wife's income going down, it's a disaster waiting to happen, and there's no other ISP's in my neck of the woods. Wow that sucks man, I hope things will get sorted out! :-( In the worst case scenario, what would happen t...

Re: Release: Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker (Multiplayer)

Fortunately I have not forgotten about this project! Having recently finished my study, the nostalgic feelings of Railroad Tycoon 3 are still calling me, together with all the fun times I've had with friends playing the multiplayer. Unfortunately the first matchmaker (or lobby) did not work as good...

Release: Railroad Tycoon 3 Multiplayer Lobby

I think it would be nice to make an official thread about the RT3 Matchmaker, I just want to share my program with you guys because me and my friends already had lots of fun playing against or with each other! What this program does is fixing the multiplayer functionality in the game by using my own...

Re: Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker

I don't usually multiplayer anything either. But I had good fun running a "tournament" for Gran Turismo 2 on the gtplanet forum, 18 rounds of races with people dropping in and out over 18 weeks. And I sometimes participate in Angband competitions (http://angband.oook.cz/competition.php) w...

Re: Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Railroad Tycoon 3 Matchmaker

Hi guys I am writing this inspired by the Populous (1998) matchmaker, which is a community made lobby to start games with each other. I would like to make something like this for RT3. Right now I am working on how to launch the game directly to the desired server someone is hosting. You could compar...

Most stable version for multiplayer?

Do you guys know which version of RRT3 is the most stable for multiplayer?
When I play LAN with some guys we got a lot of synchronisation problems like track dissapearing and different stock prices etc.
Thank you guys in advantage!
