AI Trains...... GRRRR

Okie dokie, so i said i'd chip in with the advent content as no one had sent anything to us for December 4th i managed to write a very basic and quick sceanrio so i could make a part 2 a bit more than just a drive to point A to point B.

unfortuinately the packager only packagede up the current save file??? i 100% know i ticked all the boxes inside the sceanrio in package manager to pack it all.. but never mind.

I found a major flaw in it when i conmtinued playing it. so i changed some AI about changes some times and added stop at instructions to keep them on the right path.

Now i have a problem where the AI stock i altered does not move, and one of them just vansishes off the map when i got near it....


Wonder if i can fix the scenario today? update when i have!

Dave.

Behind the doors!

Welcome to December, and welcome to the start of Rw-Trainsim's Advent.

From today (tues 1st) until Friday the 25th each day check out http://rw-trainsim.co.uk everyday to check out whats on offer behind the advent door!

Update

Hello,

Sorry there have been no posts from me here for a bit, been busy fighting with Abbey to get them to send my remaining bank balance to my new bank... honestly, they are not at all helpful!.


secondly myself and the rest of the team have been busy behind the scenes of RW-Trainsim to think up and get the forum ready for Christmas, and late Saturday evening we started our Festive activities, By launching our Christmas look.



See the official Announcement section (or stay tuned to my blog) for further details on what we have plans for you to get involved.

Okay, back to the stuff you are here for... RailWorks!.

I was working on a "summer tour of Cresston Scenario, Well beings its been so long and i have been working on it adding more AI, but the Sim crashed on me during editing and lost the updates. That's not a bad thing though as one of the AI services where causing the player train to fail and i have No idea what one it was. (i did take several possible ones off the drivers list but failed to clear up the failed status).

However i am now re-installing RailWorks fresh as it seemed to take a life time to load up form pressing launch on the settings page to loading up the routes.

Once this is completed (and hopefully cured crashing ETC) Then i am going to Write a more fitting scenario to the recent weather we have had, "A Stormy Shift" for cresston, and hopefully a bit of AI about so it does not look so plain.

Looks like every ones really taken to Darren's hard work with Newcastle - York Modern and I myself will be purchasing a copy just as soon as i can.

Also on my "to buy list" is the new Class 37 Pack, also now out on steam, these are a fantastic addition and opens up the shed doors for a new and accurate batch of re-skins.

Tornado: oh yes, the one steam engine (apart from Mallard & Flying Scotsman) I like, and look forward to seeing the A1 out for everyone to enjoy AND best of all, a small donation from Each sale will go to the A1 locomotive trust.

Pendolino: no further news into when this fantastic EMU will hit the Steam Store? but another must have will be the 390.

that's all for now, but i will be blogging some more info about RWTS's Xmas activities shortly.

Regards,
Dave

Well with me now settled and getting used to windows 7 i am now starting to get back to Railworks and the sceanario i had planned for over a month ago.

Spent this evening adding a few AI services added a sceanrio siding marker too , all in all i think its going to be a good sceanrio, mind i have to do a bit of explaining in the read me when it comes to cab chang time! Not as easy as you tthink it is set up! none the less i think i should have it compleated later today (Monday).

Thanks goes out to Michael & Dan from RW-Trainsim for the fantastic liverys and to david Hossacks for the wonderfull mk3's.

Updates later.

Dave.

back in buisness

I am delighted to say that i am now fully back in buisness for railworks and this blog.

Getting to grips with windows 7 and so far i am very impressed.

Still no light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortuantely i am still not much closer to getting to the exit of this very long dark tunnel i have been stuck in the past couple of months computer wise.

Chris (Basherz) kindly donated an old PC that eventually will be able to run RW, however i am having some troubles with constant Blue Screen Error reboots. It's not windows as i have installed it fresh so this is not good news.

I am hoping to with money i recive for Birthday and christmas to get myself a brand new machine (if i can blag a very big bargain).

So unfortuantely at the moment i am still stuck on administrating duties only, pity as there is so much stuff out for RW now.

Very fustrating at the moment.

Dave.

it never rains, it pours....

As i posted just under a week ago i was hopeful a new Power supply unit for my main computer would solve my mystery break down. Well, £25 lighter and almost a week later my Power supply unit arrives, Sadly it is NOT the problem and it is likely to be a burnt out mother Board.

And that is terrible news for me, I no longer have a computer to run rail works on, and all in development stuff I had planned is now permanently suspended.

I am gutted as i just spent almost £50 on a brand new graphics card to enable me to play rail works at full capacity, Sadly everything i was so looking forward to for Rail works i can't have.

So until i have enough money to get myself a computer that can handle Rail works
this blog is having to close down.

I will however keep this blog online and happy for you to keep subscribed, and one day in the future i will be able to pick this up where i left off.

This is a very unhappy man signing off.
All the best
Dave / Slammer423

long delays

I regret to inform you all that the sceanrio i mentioned belkow is on the back burner.

Unfortunately my main computer decided to give up the ghost this evening and no longer works, i am using my back up computer however this is nowhere near compatable with RailWorks unfortuantely. (32mb of ram is very pain staking lol).

I will however continue with it as soon as it is possible, At the moment it looks like it may be as long as next year. (depending on whats exactly wrong with the computer).

Sorry folks,
Dave.

Sceanrio Early testing complete...

I have been spending today making my First Scenario for Darandios beautifull route Cresston V2.

This will use as the player train Dan's fantastic class 37 in DB red. David Hossacks stunning Wrexham & Shropshire & Virgin Re-furbished mk3's

All in all the scenario is about an hour and 45 minutes long (roughly) and takes advantage of the beautiful scenery and landscape in Cresston. you'll take 3 different lines, "Branch, Main & heritage.

AI traffic will be light as it is based on a Sunday afternoon.

I'll let you know when its ready and what will be required :) I'll try and keep payware to minimal or none at all, but of course if i do then as long as it can match whats replaced then Mike Simpsons RW tools can swap consists without having to completely re-wright the scenario for that consist.

Cresston V2 - GET IT NOW!
