NYCTA Projects / Announcements in routes
« on: October 12, 2012, 02:50:45 pm »
Hello everyone, i am currently working on a project to better categorize the announcements we use and to make it universal across all non-fictional routes. This will in the end save space and time for lot's of developers and users who download routes. Developers would no longer have to go out and record the announcements and won't have to post duplicate folder with the same announcements saving a bunch of space.  Over the past 3 years of fanning and daily commuting i have accumulated a lot of announcements and with a bunch of contributions from many people i have compiled announcements for nearly every line.

Here is an example of what the "Broadway" Folder will Contain :
(N) , (Q) , (R) and (W) train announcements, along with lines that are rerouted on the Broadway line like a (B) train to Astoria , (E) via Broadway ,etc.


 There will be a announcement index included with each folder for easy browsing.  These are the folders that i will publish after i finish compiling everything:

--- ---A Division-----

"Lexington"
(4) (5) (6)  , (2) via Lexington av
"7ave"
(1) (2) (3) and (5) via 7th ave
"Mainst"
(7) <7> and Grand central (S)
------B division-------

"6ave"
(B) (D) (F) (M) (V) and reroutes along 6th ave
"8ave"
(A) (C) (E) and reroutes along 8th ave , and (S)

"Broadway"
(N) (Q) (R) (W) and reroutes along Broadway lines

"Canarsie"
(L) and (V) to/from canarsie

"Nassau"
(J) (Z) and Brown (M)

"Crosstown"
(G) and reroutes along the (G)



"PSA"
public service announcements


Once completed i will post the download link to each folder underneath it's name in this thread. Although i have a lot of announcements recorded, i still don't have all so If anyone has some announcements they want to contribute, feel free to email it to me at MrRailfan@gmail.com  . I will give credit to whoever wants to contribute.

NYCTA Projects / (RELEASED) Status of the (D) and (F) Routes.
« on: June 19, 2012, 02:53:17 am »
These Lines have been updated and can now be found on the download section here: http://www.bvestation.com/downloads.php


Ok guys wanted to post a status update on the two routes:

The (D):
Whats finnished:

-is currently fully updated with Timers

-Brightness feature (darkness in tunnel) and updated announcements.

-NTT announcements have been installed for the full route from 205 to CI.

Whats Left:

- Fully get rid of glitches and update station textures
- replace outdated / old static train objects with new or moving objects
- Add route scenarios to the NTT version [like reroutes or short turns]
-Update and finnish the stretch between Bay 50 ST and CI
- Add AI speed limits
- Convert Audio files to .flac format to save space
-Add in an express Concourse route

The (F)
Whats Finished:

-Fully upgraded with timers
-Brightness command added
-Updated Static trains
- Full overhaul of NTT announcements and replacement with HD audio
- Various Scenarios have been added
-Fix all Known glitches
-Speed limits added to AI trains [no more over running timers]
-AI trains reflect what time you are running the train (EX:
More AI trains and shorter headways during the rush hour route , long headways on late night and weekend route)
-Local on Queens Blvd after Roosevelt ave (thanks to BRR)

Whats Left:

-Add in Beacon command so compatible trains go into emergency if you run a timer.
-Add more route scenarios and
-add weather elements to route scenarios
-Fully upgrade all station textures
-Replace static buildings with more identical ones found while running the route
-Local via 53st
-Local via queens Blvd local after 21st QuensBridge / Queens Plaza.

I will soon post screen shoots of the route , along with a preview video. I believe the F will be released before the D as im spending more time updating the F route.

The F [Version 4.5] should be released some time this month if all goes well.

F [version 5] will be released this summer with updated Buildings and station textures , and the D will follow after.



Also on a side note I have also updated the (A) with timers from 207 to lefferts . It will be released once the updated a to Rock Park / Far rockaway is released.



Also does anyone know if there are any timers between 169 and 179?

General BVE/OpenBVE / Openbve Discontinued.
« on: May 07, 2012, 05:45:07 pm »
It seems that the founder of openbve has chosen to discontinue updating Opnbve and create future versions of the program. See it for yourself.
http://trainsimframework.org/

I hope that this does not mean the end of this community as I and many other developers are still developing projects. plus there's still BVE 5 to look up to.

BVE/OpenBVE Support / I Need Help with Coding.
« on: September 06, 2011, 06:27:31 pm »
Can any route or train developer help me out with this:

Basicly im having trouble making my R143 Display different features on the Left monitor like "Loss of T/O personnel" whenever the Emergency brake is applied or you fail to acknowledge that you are present (a form of deadmans feature i put in where you have to press [Delete] key every 60 seconds or the train goes into emergency) , or "ATO enabled" whenever you turn on the AI to operate the train . I looked at the basic codes that where provided at http://trainsimframework.org/develop/index.html and i still dont get it .
 
For example:
i put in

[Pilotlamp]
Subject = ats256
Location = 453, 764
DaytimeImage = cab\ATS.png
NighttimeImage = cab\ATS.png
TransparentColor = #0000FF
Layer = 10

the subject is ats256 because on the openbve website it says 256 is the default number for the built in safety system that comes with every Openbve and 256 signifies ATS enabled .

So why doesnt the ats.png [ats.png shows "CBTC enabled"if anyone was wondering what the picture shows] show up whenever i enable ats?

If someone can make anysense out of what i wrote or knows how to code in such features so that they show up on the monitor whenever you enable them , please help me out! 8)

Ladies and Gentlemen I would Like to present to you yet another project im working on . Once again im most likely not going to be developing the train Interior / Exterior [I have a little too Much on my hands right now :P] so i will be focusing my attention on the panel instead .

I was going to merge this thread with my R160 Thread , but after looking at how different the cabs are and how much work would have to be  put into this cab , i decided to create its own thread so i can post updates later on.
Heres the R160 Cab/Panel Thread if u didnt check it out yet:
http://forums.bvestation.com/index.php?topic=637.0

Now as i promised here's the preview:
