TTD Contest

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Zak and me mailed this week and we had the idea of a Transport Tycoon Deluxe Contest. I said it's OK. Zak said 2-3 more members are needed and the championship can be started. Who would be interested in this? (CTG, I hope you would.)
Ask further informations from Zak or me (if you write to me I would prefer a mail).

[Argammon]

Now how would that work?
I might be interested....

Of course I'm interested in but my PC (as you know) has some strange problems. I tried to install TTD for Win95 several times but it didn't work. I installed all of files needed to run this game under Windows 2000, but it wasn't successful. I don't know what's the matter, but I'll solve it as it's possible. So I vote for a TTD design contest!

The one I took part in worked the following way:

There was a given terrain and difficulty setting.
Every contestant had to send his savegame every 10th year, and a score was calculated from the company value + cash.
We could use the same, but with an addition that 1 week = 5 years maybe, and everyone should send his savegame every week, so 5 years play / week.

It was a 100 year long contest, but we could have shorter too.

So by far Akoss, CTG, Argammon and Me, as I see.
Let's say one more contestant, and we can start.
I have a good terrain for it too.

CTG! Try to run it in MS DOS mode. In config.sys file you can adjust if you want to run Windows or MS DOS. It depends on a number: 0 or 1 but I can't remember in which line you must change it, but my father knows it, I'll ask him.
Or when you start your computer, try to push F5/F8 (I can't remember which), and maybe you can choose in which mode you want to start your computer.

There's no dos mode in w2000, nor in XP.

Competition is opened! Let's play!

I'm a little bit sad, because the competition is permanent, but of course I will play.

A problem: competition scenario isn't available. I would like to play NOW!!!

A suggestion: performance history graph value/1000 score multiplier?

A fact: I'll play for fun, not for the higher rankings. I will rename the towns of course at the beginning of the game!

A question: will there be a scoreboard for every 10 years? Can a player send more than one saved game per 10 years (=can we join more than once)? Oooops, it was 2...

[alanrotoi]

Please rename a city as Rotoiland

[zaqrack]

scenario is available, I only forgot to modify the permissions

everyone can join multiple times of course.

[alanrotoi]

I guessed the contest would be online I mean all the players at the same time... :roll: Is it possible?

[Krys TOFF]

I heard about this game but never played it.
What is it ? A SimCity-like with transports (train, planes, roads) ?
Is it abandonware ?
Is there a tutorial or a manual available ?

How I miss this game...
