Does anyone have this?
I have the original transport tycoon but unfortunately the number of vehicles you can build is limited. I was wondering of the deluxe version changed this, and what else it changes...

contact your nearest ICQ vendor

huh?

it ment ICQ me, however i have since discovered that i cant find my copy of TTD :(

oh well

can you tell me about it at least?

yeah deluxe has more vehicles, and more services as well.

is the vehicle limit gone? or at least increased?

OMG OMG OMG HOT HOT TTDX ACTION!!!!

/me strokes original copy

question: have u guys got this running under XP?

no, but i will in a seccond once i re-install it, i have had it running under 2k, let me sort out what files you need.

OOOOOHHHH
I WUB JOO SCUZZY

i have it running under 2k, you have to install ttd win95 edition, then activate compatibility mode in win2k then make a shortcut to the exe and run it in win95 mode.

msn me, scuzzy_kawasaki@hotmail.com

it'd be nice if you could auth me, or even reply to my msg.

I've been playing it heaps the last few weeks, yeah it works under XP and the game f'n owns!

you can get it from www.abandongames.com or get my ICQ from scorch

mum dragged me to one of those vinnie type stores about a year ago and after playing TTD for years there was an org copy sitting on the shelf for $3!!!!!! PHWOR!!!

so now i have an org copy :D :D :D

lol

Post some screenies of your best transport setups :D

ill have to start playing it again then.

All my saves were from original TT and I dont have them nemore neways.

then activate compatibility mode in win2k

Since when does Windows 2000 have "compatibility mode" ? The only thing remotely close to that is the dongs tool on the install CD which simply fools the program into thinking it's Win95 (but does not actually emulate any of the Win95 stuff which is what Windows XP compatibility mode does).

TTD keeps crashing on me:(

since SP2
Start | RUN |
copy + paste this
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
hit enter. and you now have application compatability option in right click menu of program shortcuts. =)

thought I'd post some screenies of some of the more busy areas in my game:

trains1

trains2

I'm about to experiment with a roro (roll on roll off) train station systems once I find a use and location to use it at. This feature was new to TTD compared to TT.

a VERY busy piece of track (200k large pic)

One of my junctions

another one of my junctions

And another

whats the facsination with bridges/tunnel/multiple trains on one track?

it seriously reduces train speeds and decreases income.

all i remember from my TT days was the straightest is always the best.

and that handy $4 billion i had was good money.

If you build your network efficiently enough it's much easier adding new routes to it, just put a bit of track so that it joins to your backbone and make a new train, no need for thousands of km of new track..

maybe, but i really hated watching my trains slow down. :)

plus thousands of km of tracks rock. :p

Hahah.. watching lots of trains use heaps of cool junctions is cool too :P

it seriously reduces train speeds and decreases income.

its different than transport tycoon dude. TTD adds a whole new signal system, which morax has obviously used to the max.

My screenshots are of using the new system as well.
You may have 2 tracks but you have 6 trains running on those tracks WITHOUT slowdown. You add sections of signals in and as long as only 1 train is in that section there is no slowdown.

In my setup, I have a twin track with 6 trains on it going to a distant farm with uber output. The track section is like this:

==-\/-+->---+-----+---->-+-\/-==
==-/\-+-<---+-----+----<-+-/\-==

= station
-/\ track
> one way
+ signals/sections
you can have 3 trains going each way without slowdown.

It is in fact the most efficient way of doing a track setup. You either need a consistent supply at one end to set your trains to full load tho, otherwise they need to have that disabled.

In morax's example its basically a highway, with on/off ramps.

^^ What Swat said :D

Also if you do have 6 trains on one route (with a very good producing mine), it's not efficient cost-wise to build 6 seperate tracks each for its own train. Building 2 tracks (each one way) is heaps better :)

i had like $4 billion....wtf did i need cost effective track laying for? :p

Busy? get some mag lev trains.

is there a money cheat ?? ^_^

I think there is one but you don't need it, build 2 trains to start with and you're set for the rest of the game if you keep building :P

is there a money cheat ?? ^_^

http://www.ttdpatch.com/ use that as your TTDX front end, and then place a sign (under the tree menu) with "cht:money 999999" you can also adjust the year with "cht:year 2050" then just remove the sign once the cheat activates.

how do u guys go about setting directions on tracks? just loop out of the back of the station?

also what is RORO? i'm curious

You set directions on a track by using one-way signals.

RO-RO is "roll-on-roll-out", so a train would enter on one side of the station and continue out the other side, instead of turning on the spot and heading back the way it came.

BTW just got maglevs on my game, as soon as I've converted all the track i'll upload some more screenies :)
