There are no separate height maps available for any of the default PopTop maps, or any third party maps based on them. The only way of getting height information for any of those maps is by extracting it from the .gmp. Maps I made from scratch were taken from .tiff's, via MicroDEM, so the .tiff's ar...

Hi. This is one of those things that is undoubtedly possible in theory, but a bit of a nuisance in practice. The .bmp image is just for the terrain painting, and has nothing to do with the actual height map. I know where the height map information is in the .gmp file, and I know how to read it, but ...

I made a spreadsheet for it, which is pretty detailed. This is in .ods format (for Open Office or Libre Office).

It could be converted to Microsoft .xls/.xlsx format, but anything from Excel 2016 on can open .ods files anyway.

The short one looks dangerous.

The img tag is for displaying images that are already online somewhere. For example, this the image for the Mogul locomotive rebuild/reskins on the site's Railroad Tycoon 3 - New locomotives page. http://hawkdawg.com/img/rrt/rt3/xtras/Gumboots/Gumboots_Mogul_Rebuild_and_Reskin_screenshots.jpg [img]h...

Sounds like you have it sorted then.

I suspect from memory you should install from CD, install patch 1.03 and then turn of hardware T&L before upgrading to 1.04 etc. (settings -> graphics and check disable hardware T&L) If I recall there may be a configuration file on here you can use and avoid reinstalling. If you search old ...

I might just buy Steam version at some point, probably the bundle on sale with rrt II platinum and Sid's Railroads. The bundle was on sale recently for around $10 Canadian, even cheaper us. Do you know what version steam sells? Steam sells their own modified version of the game. Unlike the GOG vers...

Offhand, not sure what's happening with that. 1.00 is a very old disc. You may have to patch it sequentially: 1.00 > 1.01 > 1.02 > 1.03 >1.04 This site has 1.03 available , but not 1.01 and 1.02. I don't know where you would get hold of those. Honestly, if you don't mind spending a few bucks, the ea...

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

It's a fairly quiet place these days, but feel free to ask anything you feel like asking, and to start your own topics.

Durango and Silverton is a very simple game, but quite good fun for a quick play occasionally. It was the first map where someone figured out how to apply satellite shots for terrain painting. Durango & Silverton 1.0 - a google-made map The load requirement in AoS IV is quite easy as long as you...

I've started playing this scenario again (first game in quite a while) and I'm already having a few thoughts. With only four towns in the Newcastle area there is not much going on, so the Newcastle section rapidly stagnates. Gosford can be connected to add a fifth town, but that requires quite a bit...

Aha! Brainwave! It can be made to work. ::!**! The relevant event trigger option is "When track or a station is placed". Stations are always a fixed price, in whole $k, so you could set company cash to loco(s) purchase price + one small station ($50k). That would allow using a small statio...

I haven't played this scenario, but this post might help.

Had an idea re limiting debt levels via credit ratings and prime interest rates. I'm not going to implement it on this scenario, but the concept may be useful elsewhere. With this scenario I ended up having prime rate increases, and credit rating decreases, kicking in at $2M, $4M and $6M debt. These...

Just thought of something else. This may not work... Ok, how to prevent this? If you buy the legitimate number of locos, your company cash after the purchases will be exactly 0. If you cheat by letting trains crawl into stations, then buying more locos than you should, it is very unlikely that your ...

For some unknown reason, I was just thinking about this again. It just popped into my head after a long absence. Anyway... I may still set up a test example of the events proposed earlier in this thread: the ones that aim to allow purchasing pre-defined numbers of particular classes, for both one de...

Hi. Your best option is probably to look through the threads rather than the archives. Threads started after 2010 will usually be for scenarios created after that year, and you will be able to see feedback and strategy ideas for each scenario. Out of scenarios I have tried myself, these are good (IM...

Hi. :) Welcome to the forum, and sorry about the slow post approval. I haven't been checking in much over Christmas, and was just using the "unread posts" link to check for new posts. Anyway, glad you eventually got it running. Feel free to post your notes if you like. RT3 running on new(i...

This should make it clear.
