a uk trainz map in the makeing (hi res)

[tankbob]

Just a thought but if you make your riverbank both sides and when you have done a big enough area could it be turned into a displacement brush what does anyone else think.

Madtrainz,

Thanks for the rules; they should work quite well for the small (2-3 boards), modular-style routes that i am having fun with at the moment.

I shall test them out very soon.

@J_maybury: you say that the bank looks a little steep, but that is just an example. You would ideally vary the length and height of tracks to get the correct angle of the riverbank.

Matt.

I like your coastal sections. They really capture the feel of the cliffside routes.

 

[f55]

This is a terrific route! The scenery work is just amazing and the length of it too! Keep up the good work!

Wow... crikey you've realy got a shift on!
I've had a go at the ten step guide, and it works well, I especialy like the tree in the corner idea. I find it good for finding where the baseboards start and end, in case you want to re-use one as well, that is If you use one special tree that is dstinguishable from the others, of cores.

You must be on it day and night, to do it that fast, I hope you don't burn your self out? If you don't meet the dead line, you have set your self, It's no big loss, I would sooner you enjoy it, rather than think you have dead line to meet.

I've started a new route using The 10 Rules to see where it takes me. I use the toy tree that is built in to mark the corners. No mistaking that as part of a serious route. Hehe.

Not sure if madtrainz is taking Jolt cola or putting in 12 hour shifts, but it's taken me 6 hours just to build the first station and add textures to part of the first board. It's a damned good job regardless.

I will persevere!!!!!!

hi pfx

may i ask you ( with a big please ) can you post a shot of the station your makeing on here so i can see

:wave: :wave: :wave:

 

[tankbob]

It might be an idea for the people who are following this thread and have started using the 10 rules to post what they are working on,dont want to hijack your threads or topic might be interesting to see what we are working on.

It's a good idea indeed. I'll post a pic later on tonight. When I said "it's a damned good job" previously, I meant madtrainz route, not my station. It hasn't even got a roof yet...

 

[madtrainz14]

hi all

i call this the 25 mins work

the station that is

thank you pfx and tankbob

:wave: :wave: :wave:

 

[j_maybury]

25 mins work ?

How the heck did you get all that done in twenty five minutes. from what I see you have only a couple of hedge row's to do and maybe the odd street light and post box and it's finished. One whole baseboard! And yet, none of it looks rushed or out of place.
I really like the hedge row’s, they look just right… so life like. Not many people get them right, but they are spot on.

I don't know if it's just me or not, but I constantly find my self trying to turn the picture round with the mouse, as if it was in the game... I think I must be going senile.

Neath have I, but I can tell you that with TS2010 you have to send a picture of a certain size and a description of the layout, which I hear, involves a bit of coding, or they won’t except it… Try putting a route you know that has past scrutiny, in to the open for edit folder with the CM3, then pick through the edit folder using explorer, it may give you a clue.

hi all

i just found this on the forum

add this to your config, since you are uploading a route:
thumbnails {
thumb {
image "thumbnail.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
preview {
image "splash.jpg"
}
}
The "thumbnail.jpg" may be named as you choose and must be a 240x180 jpg file.
The "splash.jpg" may also be named as you choose and should be a 512x512 jpg file.
The thumbnail is what shows in the DLS and the splash is what you see in the main menu of Trainz when you open it.

and i have just try it (it works)
