Station Talk / Facebook & BVEStation

« on: June 30, 2012, 12:26:55 am »

I am trying to make a general statement here so please don't be offended just do it.


A few friends and myself are being accused of spamming on Facebook and they area saying its in connection with BVEStation. I want to make it very clear that if I found out its a BVEstation member I will go to the furthest extent of Internet laws on you and whoever is accompanying you. Please grow up. Too much drama. Let's end it now. I'm asking whoever is running these account to shut them down and move on. It's annoying an it's making the site look bad, and it's making me look twice as bad. Be the bigger person . That is all

NYCTA Projects / Better Performance on Routes & Trains

« on: October 22, 2011, 11:08:05 am »

I heard some users mention it before and I tested it and the theory is correct.


When developing I suggest that you use .png instead of .bmp


.png uses less disk space and it runs better in openBVE especially with people who have outdated graphic cards.

BVE/OpenBVE Support / Become a Developer of Trainsets or Routes

« on: October 10, 2011, 02:57:04 pm »

Many of you wonder, how do these developers make these awesome trains and routes? It's simple and hard at the same time.

We code using two different type of formats (.csv) and (.rw). These are the formats that openBVE understands.

Coding and commands are easy to learn and pretty soon you can make a simple route of your own.

If you are interested in learning how to code for trains and/or routes, please come online the Teamspeak Server.

Instructions on Getting on Teamspeak:

Visit www.teamspeak.com. You will see where it says download 32 bit Client. Download and run the setup.

After finished, run the program (located on your desktop or desired area). Setup your nickname to your BVEStation username and regular controls for using a mic.

After done, click File>Connect.

In the server address box you type in : snstes.com
Your nickname is your BVEStation username
There is no password so click Connect.

You should be all set after that.
