Re: Bug Reports

So I was able to install v1.06 on my comp. I had to completely uninstall everything, and then delete any remaining files, then reinstall CtoC and 1.05. When I installed v1.06, I unchecked any loco packs or mods, and installed everything else. It worked fine after that. There conflict is in those loc...

Re: New Building available! Comments welcomed

Well, I tested it out with a few different controls, and the building works as indicated. First, my problems with this mod using v1.05 on Vista Home were easily solved. As you mentioned in a post, I had to actually go into the editor of any map I wanted to use, and make sure the building was selecte...

Re: Bug Reports

So I downloaded the v1.06 patch from the website here, the one listed as the final version on October, 28th 2007. It intalled fine, and the game started up fine, but when I try and start a scenario, load a map for editing, etc, anything like that, the game crashes. I get this message each time: Pack...

List of actually amounts of supplied and demanded cargo?

First, thank you very much Milo and the many others that put in so much work to make a better game for everyone to enjoy. It's a labor of love to do that much work. I have looked around, and I can't find anything which tells you the exact supply and demand for the new cargo flow charts in v1.06. I h...

Re: See what Sheriff Joe has done.

Can we write in Sheriff Joe for president? I could really go for someone who actually gets things done and demands people take personal responsibility for their own lives.

Re: Agenda of the Media

Yeah, the cause of death in table 5 of the secod link is rather eye opening. It looks like only a handful of soldiers died from hostile activity before the current operations in Afghanistan and Iraq started, something about 250 soldiers or less. The rest of those deaths, 95%? or more, came from acci...

Re: Rail Yard Structures

Alright WP&P, I found out a few new twists. First to answer your question, no I don't have any other mods installed. I just have your yard mods and a few of your car mods, iron, coal, reefer. Second, I found out that your added structures are available to me in the editor, but not in a game. In ...

Re: Questions: How many cities, very long hauls, reserve cells

Well, Canadian Viking, I pulled up your Building to Buffalo map, and it appears that Jay is right. The reserve cells seem to have repropogated even when you deleted them. Check out the NYC area. It appears that you tried to make a few reserve coridors for bridges and such, but you can see the origin...

Re: Why do my buildings show zero production/consumption?

So, what are the odds of finding a way to fix the game for nVidia graphics cards on Vista? I don't know anything about it. I just know that nVidia is the biggest GC maker out there, and will likely create more separation from ATI over the next few years. Is there interest in making the game compatib...

Re: Why do my buildings show zero production/consumption?

So, what are the odds of appealing to Firaxis and Sid to make the game compatible with Vista? Yeah, it might compete a little with the railroad games they are making and have made, but the RT series is his baby, he started it. Maybe he/they would throw RT a bone?

Re: DEMs (no this isn't political)

Not that I am an expert, but I noticed it was not in the tutorial, and (even thought it's pretty straight forward) someone might find it useful to have step by step instructions for merging data from different GTOP30 map sections. I'm pretty sure the newest version of Microdem will do this automati...

Re:

Wooly, consumption, production and profit are affected by all prices in the industry chain. Industries 'buy' the cargoes that they consume and pay the price that exits on the square they occupy. Their income is equal to cargoes produced multiplied by price. If the price is close to or less than the...

Re: Why do my buildings show zero production/consumption?

Wooly - Which version of RT3 did you get? The Atari release or the Pop Top release? The Atari release has only one cd and comes with 1.05 pre-installed, but it doesn't come with the Coast to Coast Expansion. Well, I ordered it off the internet (some obscure company linked from Amazon) at Christmas ...

Yeah, this building doesn't work for me either. WP&P, you may be right that modded files may not work with Vista. It really pisses me off. But seeing how this is a work laptop, and I didn't purchase it, I can't do much about it. I just need to get my old XP PC up and running this week. I will tr...

Re: Why do my buildings show zero production/consumption?

I haven't seen the zero numbers thing, but then I'm not a Vista player. However, I just wanted to comment that the industries don't have any means of counting the loads that you've hauled for them. The way the economy model works, industries sort of don't care how materials get to them, and they do...

Re: DEMs (no this isn't political)

Question Wolvy - is the GTOPO30 the only data we can use for RRT3? Yeah, Wolverine answered it better than I could. There were several different databases at the USGS website, and I think Microdem can handle several of them. There was one called SRTM, which I think was better than GTOP30, but I thi...

Re: Why do my buildings show zero production/consumption?

I think it's a graphics card issue. The laptop I have it on is an ATI card. My home PC is NVidia. I am think that may be the culprit. I have tried both Vista Home and Business on the laptop, and both work with 1.05, with the ATI card. But 1.05 doesn't worth with the same OS with NVidia. I know my ho...

Re: Ports and warehouses

In the editor, it mentions not putting supply and demand above 4 units a year for any one commodity, I think. It says something about not being good for the economy. Is that true? What really happens if we set the supply or demand of something high, like 8-12 a year? I have a very large map (1024 x ...

Why do my buildings show zero production/consumption?

I am really perplexed about something in the game. I have played several scenarios since Christmas time (when I bought the game), and I can't not make heads or tails of the production and consumption of buildings for raw materials or industry. When I click on the building the numbers for goods produ...
