Ram - Initial thoughts and Draft ideas

[kassarc16]

Looking great on the S-curve and the FARR! A quick question: Would it be possible to get a piece that also has a switch for the top tile?

bump...

Eh... has there been any recent progress in here? If no, I don't think this should be kept alive and should be moved to an archive section.

Yes! I'm still working out some new texture designs for single trackage.

Problem is, that RL job/employer is very, very busy during the summer months(http://www.pendragontheatre.org/ ), also, when I had my computer repaired/rebuilt, it seem that the repair guy "downgraded" my PC with a very cheap GPU. (original system had an adequate nVidia GeForce 6100 chipset, it now has some sort of S3 chipset with only 64mb ram and constant errors.  )

[allan_kuan1992]

ah... nice to see some update though at least.

Hmm... everyone's being plagued with RL. Wish it wasn't there, but hey, it is, so...

um......I am looking forward to this

Just a little bump in the road...

I hope the RAM hasn't ran out of RAM.  Anything that actually allows single-track railroads gets my vote.

The revolution, she is dead. 

[metarvo]

She was derailed in her prime.  I barely knew her.

Unfortunately it looks like this thread/project has died. However, if you have any useful development information to contribute to this thread, feel free to post.

Otherwise, please refrain from posting.

Thanks,
Fred

Actually, Fred and all, it hasn't.



IT'S ALIVE!

Here's the deal, folks.  As much as I am a huge fan of SC4 rail, I have no desire to push things along here, as most of you know that I've got some other things going on at SC4D.  "3RR" might ring a bell...

The wide curve and FARR pieces are in alpha and have come as far as they have because an ad hoc group of SC4D members have been willing to take time from projects that they have going to work on the stuff that I don't know how to do.  These include Alex (Tarkus) who has done the puzzle pieces and pathing, ebina who has done an amazing job tarting up the S3D files, and Jan (Swamper77) who has done the T21 work on the crossing gates.

Did I say crossing gates...



All of the wide curve and FARR stuff is about that close to a beta.  We need more, though, if there is to be a real "RAM Team," than beta testers.  I have spoken on this at length in the Team's private thread.  If you are reading this and have access to it, please reread what has been posted there to date.  If you are reading this and genuinely would like to be a contributing member of the RAM Team, please send me a PM.  It is literally, imho, the biggest opportunity that's out there today to do breakthrough transit stuff in an area (rail) that has only had the surface scratched.

Hey David,

this isnt all just a praise (read as spam ) post. I was wondering if i could see some sort of image file for your curves...

as I am playing round making points....

Joe

EDIT: naw, dont bother, I am HOPEless with graphics and texture creation

[rushman5]

That is awesome, another implementation of the endless areas to expand the game.  Excellent work, and being this close to beta release is even more promising. 

[Orange Julius]

Gee, all that needs is nice stop lines and it is DONE AND AMAZING! 

It's a crying shame that the Single-Track-Railroad project will never materialize.

But I would really like to help...somehow... 

[Girafe]

Very good work I am waitinf for this new RAM

just one question what do you mean with "auto train" ?

ps : I am skin maker for french train  (my realisations : http://www.toutsimcity.com/forums.php?viewthread=469650)  if you need someone I can help

[MassHelper]

Girafe, by auto train, they meant:
The Amtrak Auto Train that runs along Eastern USA between Lorton, Virginia and Sanford, Florida, or
The auto rack owned by the TTX

It's a crying shame that the Single-Track-Railroad project will never materialize.

[Shadow Assassin]

Er...

The project's still very much alive and kicking.
