Competitive Route Building Registration
- Thread starter BidMod
- Start date
Hi again,
Thanks for taking the time to do that. I suggest we go with what you say, unless anyone has any objections?
). I have to admit I am not wanting to face your point head-on in case someone comes up with a brilliant counter-arguement.
Does anyone else have an opinion on this - one from the people offering the FCT might be nice? [this isn't just to see if someone gives the "right answer" - this is just to see what different people say]
What I will point out though, is that someone asked if they could use a 16 (scenic) board layout - this would be pushing the rules, and then someone else might say "well 17 boards is only one more than that other guy" and so on. I think we do need a fixed point to work with.
BidMod.
PS - I'll add new entrants in a minute or two.

I think this might rattle on. I can't really see how having a large number of staging boards is an advantage, but personally, I'd allow a route with 7 staging boards and 10 scenic boards - it might open up a new way to enjoy Trainz (or it could just be an example to demonstrate a point
).

I posted your route competition rules in the German section and it seemed to go over well, but I haven't seen anyone sign up to do it

Exactly
So the rule is as follows
You can only use 15 boards total in the submitted route
you can use them how you like split between the acual sinic part and staging areas but the total of boards will not pass 15
Agreed (you should be in politics with such persuasive powers). I shall add an addition to the rules to clarify this. Apologies to anyone who has added extra boards as staging areas.
this is starting to sound like a scene from monty pyton lol
Also agreed
Good luck.
BidMod.
EDIT: Thanks anyway, WileeCoyote.

Im gonna request we change the BB limit to 12... (j/k)
Just in regards to the deadline of 31st July, 2007. I wouldn't want anyone excluded due to DLS issues, server failure, failed upload or whatever. Bidmod, you will have to allow some flexibility here depending on the circumstances.
I may have to disqulify myself as I probably wont meet rule #3...
Also, the forum poll's gives a maximum of 10 poll options

Most people ( me including ) would do this, but the staging potential is not so good as having a few boards with track to hold consists, this way you have more control on the timing they enter the route, and the order they do so;

hi, you could put your old hard drive in to your new PC, then you could still run the game, i have trainz installed on an external drive, and have no prblems running on my laptop.
you would need to set the drive up as a slave to your new hard drive, then through 'my computer' find the folder on your old drive and start the trainz.exe file
some trainz users advise using a hard drive separate to the operating system anyway
cheers

I can't do that (the old computer is going to my sister).

NOW YOU TELL ME!
I though the problem couldn't be fixed so pulled everything off the hard drive (Trainz was taking up 3/4 of the whole thing with an 800GB add on!).
But there is good news, my mom told me she found a Train game at a store near here, she didn't really have any information the first time. The second time she came back with a name! Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006! So my friend Michal is keeping TRS2004 and I get TRS2006! (So all is not lost!)
