Three Rivers Region

[deathtopumpkins]

nope... Network timeout... This looks pretty cool too!

i think his site's down because your homepage won't even load and that is not a data intensive page with all of one word on it

[threestooges]

I was able to get it fine a little while ago, it just took a little while to connect. I'll give it a try in a bit David.

David will that double track crossover be available as a overlay texture for us custom lotters who like realistic rails? also a couple of pages back you showed me a crossover from one set of double tracks to another, is that available yet? and lastly I am having the same connection problems...could be those satalites that were shot down over Texas by aliens or it could be something with the internet..

-----------------------

Works now for me....

EDIT:  John, I'll send you the textures attached to a PM- the problem with textures used in puzzle pieces is the green band that is required to "cheat" a semblance of the game appearance.  I have started saving newly created pieces in a file format the preserves layers, so it's not hard to pull the newer ones apart and make them available. -DE

That link seems OK at the moment.

It's working now.

David, it's been a while since my last post there my friend,
Your work is always awesome my friend. 

[darraghf]

do I just plop this file in with the other ones or do i need to delete the old files?

EDIT:  Heh- I need to start putting Easter eggs [linkie] in my readme files.  Pretty much the rule for these betas will be "out with the old - in with the new." -DE

First I want to say that the 3 Rivers Region is great! The special content developed for it is also great!
I've 3 questions, two about the Rural Roads and one about the Single Track Rail.
1. Is the speed limit on Rural Roads higher than on roads, but lower than on highways and Rural Highways?
2. Is it possible to create RCI zones near a Rural Road? (With highways and Rural Highways you can't do this.)
3. Will trains be able to wait at a Dual Rail Track to a Single Rail Track transition when the Single Track Rail is occupied by another train (coming in opposite direction)?
Thanks in the advance for the answering of my questions.

EDIT:  Welcome to 3RR, my friend!  Thanks for the kind words.

1.  Same as roads.
2.  Yes.
3.  I think so- Jan (Swamper77) will know.

I'm at a tiny log cabin up in Talkeetna, Alaska with Heather.  The page load times are dismal.  This pic took 20 minutes to upload to ImageShack.



The "old technique perfectly fine switch 'til today" is the one on the bottom.

...that was hard, eh?...

I'll have this up as a puzzle piece beta after I get home this afternoon.

Later.

I know where is, about 80 miles north from Wasilla. You take the W Parks Highway...

So, you're still celebrating Valentine's day?

[bwatterud]

Question about the crossover:  Will it do anything besides look awesome in game?

[dedgren]

Back from Talkeetna.

Our great friend Silvio (Rayden) gave perfect directions.



When I have a bunch of writing to do, I head up there for the peace and quiet of no phone or other distractions.  It's a great place outside the tourist season to get work done.  Plus, there's breakfast at the Roadhouse.



You just have to watch out for the killer icicles.



Dee-luxe accomodations for (US) $50.00.



They're not always right about it being the size that counts.

I stayed up a while after I wrapped up last night and made the DT crossover into a puzzle piece.



Brad (bwatterud), you were asking about functionality.  I see it paired up at the "points" end of the DT to STR off switches.



Depending on which side the STR "leg" comes off of, the crossover won't have any effect in one direction.



In the other, however, it will allow a train to properly return to the correct "one way" side of the dual trackage.  The trains do this now, but the effect isn't so great.



Just a little detail, but a fun one to watch in action.  Which you can do today, thanks to this little beta here [download linkie].

Later.

David over the last few days I have been left with out words and today well I just have to let you know that you done it to me!!! I am soo speachless!!!!

[Dark_Jedi06]

Just when you think you've got it all...David goes and makes your world a little brighter.

Perhaps a bit dramatic, but absolutely true!

[turtle]

wauw, that looks great, David!

[jmvl]

Thanks for the answers, David.
The new DT crossover puzzle piece looks great! It's a great addition to the STR, in real life it's used often. Great work, David!

Hidden Pond.





I'm modifying my SAM Set 3 to get rid of low wealth textures altogether.

Later.

Seems like I haveven't commented here in ages! Please, forgive me David!

But I have to say that your modification of SAM's Set 3 is going to be a great one! Definately useful in Rural Areas Great work with that pond and its sorroundings, too. I especially like what have you done with that ploppable flora for Jeronij's Transparent Water. I seriously wish I could 'build' natural/rural areas like you.

Oh, and STR betas are awesome! Great and realistic addition to the existing DTR in game. And, of course, are really helpful when building villages, rural areas etc.

So thank you once again, David! I'll try to comment here more often
