Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

Phenomenal idea! Remember there are probably two kinds of map makers... 1) Those that are already exceptional (at either map creation or event writing) looking to kick it up a notch 2) Newbies starting from hitting the "editor" button Possibly a "grade school" class and a "P...

True, but a previous poster said that the gold never triggered. Maybe he had 25 connection but didn't play until 197604? Or maybe he didn't have stations in all 25 cities. I just don't know. Is there anybody else out there that played the map? Or is there an easy way to test that event? Might have ...

Very nice map! And, given the setup, rather substantial replay value. I'm using v1.06 patch...(I know, probably screws things up). Started with easy level game and went for "Boston & Maine". Long story short, I have taken over the upper east side of the map and I'm cruising down the ea...

Bingo!

Wow, what a nice post! I echo your comments in the OP. I took a stab at one sceanario, which Hawk still has up, and found it to be very intense, but a great deal of fun learning what I could about writing the events, etc. and especially the time-consuming work of trying to balance the creation so th...

Awesome thread.
Pictures are worth a billion words

Here's a "less than 2c worth" opinion... 1) Better than the other two colour combinations, but is a bit grey on grey. 2) No...sorry doesn't work for me. 3) The "elasticity" is a plus for browsers, but the colour is still a no (like #2), at least for my taste. You're a brave man t...

I appreciate the help and will try a burn.

Let me rephrase the question...

* And yes, I own and LOVE RT3

I'm just wondering how one actually uses an .ISO file?
Is it a simple case of burning the file to a DVD as is, then voila you have useable material? Or does it take more than that to make a functioning DVD out of the file?

Forgive the "newbish" question, but what do you do with the ISO file?

I actually liked building stations near mines and farms in RT2. The cargo seemed to appear faster than in RT3, so you could justify devoting a train to this mission. But, and please correct me if I'm wrong, if you plant a station whose "capture zone" includes the resource, it does appear ...

Excellent idea! Something that I have always secretly hoped for too was that if you plant a station in the middle of nowhere the odd dwelling would pop up at some point too. Should a small town not rally around a station? The station needs employees...any resource development in the immediate area n...

Any chance you might have a station too close to the bridge?
Or maybe some other real estate?

That too causes issues when trying to upgrade. And not just too close to the old wooden bridge, but too close to "where" the stone bridge would go causes problems.

Might just be me, but... I'm trying your game right now. As I'm Canadian, I started in the north. One comment/bug... The "Status Page" seems to repeat the line "You have been playing for (number of years) and have until 1961" over and over on the first page, then nothing on subse...

Thanks!
Never know what you'll find at Hawk's...

Name of the Clancy book?
Sounds interesting...

Can't wait!

milo,
You are correct. Reducing the number to 99 seems to solve the issue.
Thanks for the help.

Hi All, I've downloaded logos to User Extra Content. Now, when I attempt to start a company, game crashes to a "Send Microsoft an Error" window. Removing all the logos allows game to function normally. Anyone else have a similar issue? Anyone have a solution? Anyone able to duplicate this?...

Gwizz, understood.
Good idea.
I suppose you could always keep the actual "maps" folder empty and just copy in what you plan to work on prior to starting a game?
Thanks for the help.

milo, I expected it might be an issue with RT3 as is. Maybe something to look forward to in RT4?
