Re: What are your favorite goals?

Hey here's a radical idea. In real life you often have to change tack if things don't work out. So the goals you end up aiming for may be different to the ones you started with. The same could be done in an RT3 scenario. You could start with set goals, but have random events occurring which may or ...

He was also on the RT3 team, if I'm not mistaken.
That's right he was. I think he didn't like the direction RT3 took and wanted to return to the ways of RT2 with his future game.

Re: Hello from US!

Welcome to the forums. No news on another railroad game. One of the former developers of RT2 tried to get a kickstarter going for another game but it was not very successful as they had not done proper marketing and didn't have much of a demonstration of what the game could be like to draw in any at...

Re: Bmp2gmp dummies guide?

Did you try opening up the file before it disappeared and seeing if that worked? Then you could just re-save it. Or I thought in my experience the tga file did not get deleted if the map never starts correctly, so if you were to add a locomotive or an industry that's in 1.06 and then go open it in 1...

Re: Bmp2gmp dummies guide?

If I remember correctly, somewhere in one of the RT3 folders a tga file is created temporarily when you start a map. Then after the map is populated/created, the TGA file disappears. It's possible to quickly grab this file sometimes, or I think if you intentionally make the map crash (i.e. have a mi...

Hawk (the owner of the site) is currently away for a few days so he shut down the ability to register for the archives. When he returns you should be able to make an account.

Re: Writing Events to simulate Labor Strikes and other things

Good luck with your scenario writing. Generally, scenarios that more than 50 years are difficult to test and harder to keep the player entertained in since it just lasts so long. If this scenario is going to last 100-200 years I would make sure you use the largest map size possible. For the Conrail ...

Re: Picking Up Freight Question

If you are playing regular RT3 and not the unofficial 1.06 version of it, then it depends on whether or not there is a price variation between station A and B and NY. Assuming the grain is worth more at station B than Station A, a train would pick it up on its trip to station B. Then at station B it...

Re: I'm back... because I need help, of course

What does the error message say when you try to run a setup file from the cd?

I don't know what problems your desktop is having, but if it still boots up you might want to try copying the RT3 directory on that computer to a USB drive and then copy the folder onto your laptop and see if that works.
