Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

Thanks all. You're forgetting about the three height modifiers. You can use those to change all heights, or to raise mountains more than lowlands, or to raise lowlands more than mountains. Yesterday night I tryed to use the modifiers, and the best result was: Height (all) = 1.5, Mountains Height 1,...

Today I resumed my ancient job on Ischia Islasnd's map ... that means: better late (**!!sry then never. The reason is that I spent a lot of enjoyable hours playing RT3, and i must give to PopTop Software and - more - to this Forum the credit of this. So, I would be happy to reciprocate the good stuf...

Thank you very much indeed, Blackhawk, I finally managed to update successfully the scenario. Apparently it should work fine, but when I try to play it, RT3 (1.06) crashes selecting the "buildings" button when I try to build the 1st station. These are the modifications to the scenario, in ...

I spent yesterday's afternoon playing that scenario and I really amused myself trying to take over my opponent's company (Southern Pacific). In my version of the map (.gmp) however the players are "unassigned" and - worse - the logos of the two companies are not pertinent, that means: West...

Thank you very much ... I didn't pay attention to the "Please Note". I'll register later.

Hello all, and a nice Assumption day to you. In the past I managed to download most part of RT3 maps without any difficulty, but today - while trying to download the new Egypt map - the application asks me to login again, and when I type my nick & password, it is considered unvalid and the conne...

The grey scale map was interesting! ^**lylgh Actually, the best way to learn about the RT3 map making editor is exactly what you did - experiment! There should be zero green color in the blue shades. The map should have only 3 colors: pure blue shades; pure red for the ocean and pure black for coas...

I noticed that you are using a blue shade map as the heightmap. The highest elevation that a blue shade map will provide is about 175 RT3 height units. If you hover the brush of the Terrain Height tool over a map, the ground height in RT3 units will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Ok, let...

Cool. Include some steam options, please. :-D Everything is possible ... but nobody gave - until now - an answer to my question: why the imported map appears so flat !hairpull! There are 2 TGA maps included in the game (\Data\Grayscalemaps), the characteristics of my map are the same of the sample ...

Happy (0!!0) to have met someone's else interest for my work ... I spent a lot of time to "normalize" the original maps. Of course who has been playing Tropico and Tropico - the pirate's cove is keen on playing any island like a caribbean one ... but my aim when preparing my "Ischia&q...

I was very active in playing RT3 during 2009. That period, another favorite game was Tropico , by the same producer, PopTop software. Both games, RT3 & Tropico, allow to import maps from graphics files like .PCX & .TGA, so, I decided to try creating a new map of the Ischia island, near Naple...

Thank you Hawk. The topic you suggested to read ... well, I had in XP 3 different directories, for 3 versions of the game: 1.05, 1.06 and 1.06 + my personal experiments, and everything worked great. I didn't know that W7 was so ... fiscal, I'll try to define a new "Games" directory outside...

Hello and good RT3 to all of you. I have been away from here for a lot of time, but when coming back, I found many many astounding maps added. Some weeks ago I had to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7, I managed to install and let RT3 work again, but I've got 2 or 3 problems (ITALIAN language ori...

I am italian, and some time ago I managed to find (through the help of this site) the RT3 v1.05 patch in my language. I could download it from: http://www.take2games.com/index.php?product=166%2C3%2CRailroad+Tycoon+3%2CPC%2CGathering%2Crt3&p=support, but now this page is no longer available. Can ...

I'm actually running RT3 1.06, and I managed to let it use vineyards simply by downloading the vineyard.zip file in the Xtras-Building & Other page of this site; it is quite similar to rubber-trees plantation, but it is plausible enough. I had only to follow the included instructions. Intro-text...

Ok, but, if you consider that I'm going to become too forward with your job, please stop me; as an alternative, I could send my comments via personal message. Consider that english is not my mother language, as well. Italy : it is a country completely sorrounded by the Mediterranean sea (the largest...

Well, I was just thinking about a nice Italian scenario ... and ... voilàà ... your Italian Toymakers does appear from the network's fog. A sheer coincidence, perhaps. I played it for few minutes, I think that the goal is not impossible to achieve, but I have a lot of notes or - worse - remarks to m...

Hello all. I could successfully install the 1.06 version and most part of the buildings I could find upon your Xtras page, But I've got some problem with a small part of them, and a lot of doubt about the construction of a scenario where may be possible to use all of them. I've a lot of questions to...

I would be happy if someone could give me more information about these two engines skins. I remind that I could download (some time ago) some GP7 (single) skins in my 1.05 version of the game; I think there was a green & a black one, and some other colours. The 1.06 version deserves only 1 skin...

It is not exactly a bug, but I have to signal an imperfection, probably due to the fact that I'm using the italian version of the game and of the 1.05 official patch. The installation process of 1.06 was successfull and I didn't observe any bug until now. During displaying the cheat window; when the...
