Hello all

[madflava13]

I've been lurking for the past week or so after discovering this forum and page. I dusted off an old copy of RRT2 and have been playing that lately, and am (impatiently) waiting for an ebay-purchased copy of RRT3 to arrive. Safe to say I've been bitten by the bug (again). Two questions:
1. I've patched RRT2 - but have not done anything beyond "official" patches. Is there anything I need besides? I don't have TSC, since I haven't found a cheap version anywhere.

2. When RRT3 arrives, what are my first steps? I know there are many patches out. I assume patch up to 1.06 and get started? Anything else I need to know?

aboard.

The first thread I would suggest reading is this topic about multiple installs: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2363

Then, before you do any installing, if you're running Vista or Win 7, read these threads.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2302 for Win 7

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2131 for Vista, although both topics may apply to either version.

As for RT2, There's really not a lot of extra stuff available for it, other than the patches. I would suggest looking for a copy of RT2 Gold though, instead of TSC. The Gold version is the last one they released.

Also, most of the RT2 crowd hangs out over at The Terminal http://forum.dune2k.com/forum/56-the-terminal/ , but there's a lot of maps available for it right here in the archives. http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt2/rrt2.htm, not to mention all the stuff available for RT3 in the archives here http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt3/rrt3.htm .

Once you get your head wrapped around the installation of RT3, and browse through all the extras available, you might also be interested in Trainmaster viewforum.php?f=69 , an advanced version of RT3 developed by our own NedFumpkin, and a few others in the community.
TM is a much more advanced version of RT3, and a bit more difficult to play.

That ought to hold you for a while.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're all gluten's for punishment when it comes to helping out newbies.

On the bottom right of this, and every post you'll find a link that says 'Mark post as unread'. Clicking on that will make this post, or any post easier to find later on by clicking on the links at the top and/or bottom of every page that says 'View unread posts'. You will have to click the link at the bottom of the post every time though each time you come back to it.

Welcome aboard.

I do recommend you install 1.05 and 1.06 as two installations though. TM can come later on.
