Content Development / Has anyone tried creating any scenarios in BVE 5?

« on: August 15, 2015, 01:20:22 am »

Since 2011, Mackoy has tried & failed to give better explanation on how to develop scenarios for BVE 5 and beyond. I don't blame him, it's a free game and updates take time. Now 3rd party scenario devs are writing programs that help in relation with vehicle creation and route creation of course! The only thing is that, it's all in Japanese. Here are the updated list of programs that Japanese devs use for the newer 5.6 version of BVE.

Hopefully this list intrigued you and now you want to experiment. At the moment I'm currently working on something regarding the NYC subway, since it's the hype over in America. For now, it's only in the planning stage. I have to get close measurements for station distance and time tables, and as a result I'm relying on Wikipedia for route info & etc... I will be updating my blog @ http://bve5west.blogspot.ca/. My YouTube channel also focuses on BVE 5, but currently I only play Japanese routes because they're the only ones available lol.

Content Development / Raw BVE 2,4 Files for BVE 5 converter testing

« on: August 07, 2013, 11:45:00 pm »

I have recently converted the Central Line (London Underground) to BVE 5.4.4. I noticed that raw BVE 2,4 files work very well in the conversion process. So if anyone has any un-altered Openbve route files please send them to me as rar. files at fumiefartz@gmail.com, thanks.

I am also uploading raw unedited footage of the Scenario conversion on my channel @Fumxe2 on YouTube please check it out and please message me for raw route files!

When i say "raw" i mean original non altered BVE 2,4 files only. Routes with the original BVE programming and design use the same objects as Japanese BVE 2,4 routes therefore they can be converted successfully. Because of this the converter can read and convert these routes for BVE 5 use.

Content Development / GB maps BVE content creation tool [PLEASE CHECK OUT]!!!!

http://gbmaps.karyait.net.my/2013/04/gb-maps-prototype-3-pre-release-part-1.html

This is for Bve content developers who need a easy content creation tool/software. The website is in Mlaysian and mixed with arabic. Originally this software created for other uses and not for BVE but the software creators decided to add the feature for BVE content creation and have released it for all to use. The software is still in development stages so most features are still in the works but basic track placement as well as route testing is available. Install instructions are on the page. I posted this so that OpenBve developers can try to create content for BVE 5. email me at irravillarino@gmail.com for more info about the software. I do not own the software. I am only providing a source where you cn get it from.
