Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I took a look at your map Oilcan, and it looks great. I might be able to give it a play this weekend. I only have a 1.06 install right now, but I think this should not affect anything. I am very familiar with this territory, by the way. In the late 90's I was living in Telluride and commuted to Phoe...

P.S. @ Wolverine: I have not checked out this scenario, but I know for sure you can set industry prices per territory. Cargo prices are a different story, they can only be set gamewide. blue Edited by Hawk to remove text discussing the RT3 Handbook and moved the text to the RT3 Handbook topic: http:...

You can copy/paste the entire install to a different location save it and then do your new install.

By "free version" of 3DMC I meant trial version. I have not messed with this stuff for a long time, and don't recall exactly how at the moment, but I figured out a way to convert the 3dp files into 3ds on an older version and then convert back with the newer version (both trial versions) -...

Yes, 3D Model Converter is not free. I figured out a work-around for using the free version a few years back. There is a thread here somewhere about that. It is a PITA, would be nice to have the whole program, but $0 is my limit for modding RT3 so....

Blender has always been free. Click here to download it.

Edit to add: Just be aware that the installation has some "toolbar" offers and such. Just pay attention when going through the install prompts and say no to those.

The Boynton Bicycle Locomotive is about as unusual as you can get: http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/chimney/boynton%20loco.jpg http://www.arrts-arrchives.com/images2/BBicycleLoco2ndVIEWCs.jpg http://www.arrts-arrchives.com/BOYNTON1Rpscu.jpg http://ep.yimg.com/ay/scripophily/boynton-bicycl...

I do not think you can increase a map size. But, you can make another map to the size you want. I have done it a couple of times. The hard part is filling in all of the detail- rivers can be a real PITA. WolverineMSU is the go-to guy for maps. If you can catch him I bet he will make a base map for y...

I recall this discussion from many years ago and the general consensus was that the degradation occurs during the opening of the map, not the save. I know for sure that terrain noise and edge softening is applied when scenarios start. The only time I notice any blurring when working on maps is if I ...

There ya go. Gumboots knows about the loco changes. I think Altoona was just looking to change the values and not mess with the models though.There is a sticky in this area on modifying locomotives a couple threads above this. The thing you need in addition to a Hex editor is an un-Pak er. There is ...

You can definitely change the engine specs. It is the same as changing buildings, which I am quite familiar with, but I have not ever monkeyed with engines. The main thing you will need is a Hex editor. I use Mirkes Tiny Hexer but there are other free ones around. Somebody versed in which values you...

There is an issue with the RT3 videos playing with some modern DirectX versions. This may be what you are experiencing.

Just saw your post Hawk. I would repaint it for Shamough if he so desires, but he needs to make sure he is done with the fixes. For what it's worth, I really don't know what he is "fixing". I breezed through this map. It sounds like he is making it way too easy IMO.

I have never experienced map graphics degrading during the actual gameplay. From what I know the degradation occurs because of the randomization of the map graphics when the game is started (it softens edges and adds randomized "noise"-etc). This may vary depending on your PC. I don't expe...

Rewriting is not transferring though Gumboots. I do not know how many lines of code we are talking about, but anything beyond maybe a dozen and I would just take the half hour to repaint the map. This particular map paintjob is cruddy anyways, it could use a decent painting. I really do not know wha...

AFAIK there is no way to transfer map scripting (logic) from map to map in RT3. Your only option would be to repaint the map that has become blurred from saves.

I played Multiplayer when I first got RT3. I was really green and did not understand the financial trickery that could be done. I was seeing companies being created over and over by the other player and did not get what he was doing (cheating basically). Now that I am pretty much an expert at this g...

The folks running that site may indeed be wary of a first post that has an agenda like that. You might have to ease your way into those sites with an intro message, etc. Whether or not you will find people who will actually be a part of that Wiki is debatable, but it is worth a shot. If nothing else...

Wow, that was some response on Trains, Altoona. On the upside, that site (the MR portion) is one of the more hostile ones that I have found, which I referred to earlier. I am not sure why, but the crowd there is not very nice- at all. I posted a trackplan idea there a few months back just looking to...
