making alternate routes
« on: January 15, 2012, 01:34:39 am »
is it possible to make alternate routes for openbve on certain lines by moving the files.
Ex: making the D go via the B in manhattan or
C via the A in brooklyn to lefferts blvd etc by moving files

Yes, with some additional coding, it is very possible.

how do i chant the timetable

1. Google how to route develop
2. quit spamming
3. search openbve forums
4. Look at tutorials
5. stop posting random questions. Unless you're 5 Train Master

6: Also please learn to spell and make your sentences legible.
7: ACTUALLY LISTEN to what we say to you (I know, what a concept!!! *sarcasm)


If you don't know how to use google, here is a page that shows you how: http://bit.ly/vj10Nl

If you do not know how to do it and you don't want to mess up the route file, then you should probably learn how to route build first. We can continue to tell you how to do it but you'll end up asking a thousand more questions which are easily explained if you slow down, and took the time out to learn how these things work.

Part 2: http://www.bvestation.com/forums/index.php?topic=2773.0

What you're trying to do is very complex for someone like you, who has no prior knowledge on this at all. What you're trying to do is like a kid  trying to build a OS from complete scratch in C++ with having any prior knowledge on the C++ language.  You must do your research and learn before you can tackle something complex. You are trying to rush everything without learning and in life, this won't get you anywhere.

Also, If you ever want to pursue a career in computer programming, this is a good way to practice memorizing commands.

From these 3 tutorials,  I learned a lot from it.  I can't make a route from complete scratch because I never fully read any of them, but modifications to existing routes are pretty easy for me. I've only built short routes to use as test tracks for trains, with 4 tracks, a couple of stations, 600 meter blocks as platforms and that's it. I suggest you try to build something like that at first then learn how to detail the route.

I'll be honest and Michelle does not really write great instructions. Some of her tutorials are pretty vague, so I suggest you read all three tutorials to learn as much as you can.
