My new unamed route (MP, kind of)

[emeraldnight123]

Hi, I have been working on a new route, it is basically my version on UMR. It is about 50% done (track wise). Scenery wise, it's about 1% done. I will post updates and feel free to ask any questions about the route. Hopefully I can release this for multiplayer. Thanks.


Moderators- If this is in the wrong place, please put it in the right one.

This may seem stupid, but how do I take screenshots in-game? Thanks.

I sent you a private massage

I checked my inbox and nothing is there.

Why not us work on a MP session together using them Ghoo Branch Line? I Seem to be having trouble with posting in the forum

 

[emeraldnight123]

I like it but that is gonna have to wait until my route is done (which may be a while).

Can you send me one, too? I'm feeling quite stressed heading into the week.

I think it's time to post a picture of one of the major yards. This town is called Columbus.

I can't seem to post a screenshot. I click the add image button but it asks for an image from a url, but the screenshot I want to upload is in my programs folder. How do I upload screenshots. Thanks.

You have to upload them to some place like photo bucket.

 

[emeraldnight123]

Ok, thanks.

 

[emeraldnight123]

The entire route (so far)

One of the main yard areas. This one is Columbus.

EmeraldNight, you can't use

tags on an HTML page extension. On Photobucket, there should be a text field with the BBCode for posting your uploaded images.

I have a question. If I were to change a hornsound, enginespec, etc of something, as long as the new hornsound, etc, is on the DLS, would that work it multiplayer or not? Thanks.

 

[shaneturner12]

I would not advise changing any engine/hornsounds or enginespecs unless it's a locomotive you've created, as any changes would have to be uploaded to the Download Station, as locally modified content cannot be used in Multiplayer.

Ok thanks. I'll link my photobucket page to here when I have more route pics to share. Any ideas for types of industries and town names?

 

[shaneturner12]

Not off the top of my head, but some of the other users on this thread may have ideas. You will need to make sure that cargo can be taken from one industry to another though.

Let me help you out:

The entire route (so far)

One of the main yard areas. This one is Columbus.

Some basic pointers: You badly need some textures :hehe:.
If you post something, use "Preview Post" first to see if you can actually see the pictures. If you can not, neither can we. If you take 5 seconds to look around at the pages you linked, you would have found a pre-made link to copy on the right-hand side of the screen (which is more or less what I now used for you).

Any ideas for types of industries and town names?

This is your route, so I suggest you to decide the industries and names. Since you intent to use this route for multiplayer (note that a route does not decide if something is multiplayer; a session does), I agree with Shane to make both production and delivery part of the industry chain part of the route.

For names: Do some flying around on Google Earth, write down names you like and combine parts of them. Or pick a random name and add something about the location to it, like "somethingbridge, somethingpeak, somethingcorner, somethingcrossing, somethingvalley, etc.

 

[emeraldnight123]

Thanks for the help. As for textures, I'll start on those soon, I usually wait until the track is functional. As for industries, I'll think of some. Thanks.

 

[emeraldnight123]

A good portion of the route, finally started texturing.
