I tried a map of yours with pak.ngb in Extended a couple of months ago, and then it worked.

Fam, I think the first thing to check if it does not work:
Open config\simuconf.tab and change the value singleuser_install= to the opposite number of what it is (if it's a zero now, change it to one. Or if it's a one now, change it to zero). Whenever the game doesn't load properly for me, it's because that value has been changed (I use the one value, but James has the zero value on github), which it occasionally do when updating.

But I might be wrong and the pakset really isn't working in extended, I will test when I get home in a couple of days.

Tried both and it still crashes.

If you can't get it to work, then resort to using a legacy Experimental setup.

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #738 on:** May 24, 2017, 06:46:45 PM »

What is that?

NoMorePacers · « **Reply #739 on:** May 24, 2017, 07:52:41 PM »

Old releases, Simutrans Experimental 11.35, the one before the new Extended.

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #740 on:** May 24, 2017, 07:55:18 PM »

But the thing is that the map I'm making wont work on it.

NoMorePacers · « **Reply #741 on:** May 25, 2017, 06:20:06 PM »

Keep it in a separate installation then.

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #742 on:** May 26, 2017, 05:18:25 PM »

I actually realized, really its the trains which I renamed which were renamed using Microsoft Word which crash the pakset. Link to the pakset which crashes: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzy63vjRdV2_RUxjN3c3c2Q0cXc. Also, do you use Word to rename the trains or Notepad? (Also, all the trains (excluding the Class 172 Chiltern) needs to be updated to allow overcrowded like on the other trains.

Carl · « **Reply #743 on:** May 26, 2017, 06:31:52 PM »

Do you mean altering the dat files? I do that in Notepad++.

Lewis · « **Reply #744 on:** May 26, 2017, 06:42:09 PM »

The trains you've put are not Carl's they're made by me. They dont support overcrowding as I dont know how to do it.

Carl · « **Reply #745 on:** May 26, 2017, 06:43:20 PM »

You want a line like this:
overcrowded_capacity=50

Yes and the Chiltern Class 172 was made by Carl. Also, where do you put that line in? Also can you fix them for me please?

Lewis · « **Reply #747 on:** May 26, 2017, 08:02:42 PM »

Just having a quick test however
It seems it does not want to be overcrowded.

To check - are you compiling this with the Experimental/Extended version of Makeobj?

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #751 on:** May 30, 2017, 09:48:18 AM »

Lewis, if that work's, can you do the same for the trains that I linked in an earlier post please?

Lewis · « **Reply #752 on:** May 30, 2017, 10:08:25 AM »

Thats where my problem is, I am only using the normal Makeobj. I'll get the experimental version and try that.

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #753 on:** May 30, 2017, 01:16:17 PM »

*Extended.

Carl · « **Reply #754 on:** May 30, 2017, 02:27:25 PM »

I think that British Trains for Pak 64 would be a more natural home for most of this discussion.

NoMorePacers · « **Reply #755 on:** May 30, 2017, 05:29:39 PM »

I agree - now, moving on to the GB map, and what has been progressing so far.

Fam, you -- probably -- aren't aware of a golden rule in every forum on the Internet: If someone opens a thread to discuss "X", then "X" must be discussed. Otherwise, it will be considered off-topic and, if persisting, spam.

I've removed the off-topic posts. Please don't derail topics.

Carl, just a quick question, how did you build the Channel Tunnel for the Eurostar trains, because I am trying to more or less the same thing and it wont work, can you give me some tips please?

Carl · « **Reply #758 on:** June 03, 2017, 05:48:17 PM »

Once you have a tunnel entrance, you have to lower the tunnel further in order to take it below the sea. Do this by using the 'lower land' tool on the end of the tunnel.

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #759 on:** June 03, 2017, 06:22:28 PM »

Ik that but it wont build the track when lowered.

Carl · « **Reply #760 on:** June 03, 2017, 06:26:08 PM »

Difficult to know what to suggest without seeing the specific situation. You could try in a more general thread.

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #761 on:** June 04, 2017, 05:43:41 PM »

Carl, (when you have the time and the patience to) can we talk about the signalling please in another thread when you have time because I am really interested in finding out if the signalling will be updated to work in Simutrans Extended.

Carl · « **Reply #762 on:** June 04, 2017, 09:50:41 PM »

From what little I have read about the Extended signalling, it sounds like a pretty daunting task - and a lot of work for comparatively little benefit. I doubt I'll be doing it any time soon, I'm afraid.

Carl, ive tried about 30 times to download your maps but the links does not work, especially the dropbox links. Could u please post somewhere its possible to download from?

Carl · « **Reply #765 on:** June 09, 2017, 01:29:43 PM »

The most recent dropbox link should work:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/usnfhzto624surb/UK-Mar17.rar?dl=0

Dropbox has recently changed its link formats, so earlier links will no longer work.

fsxfsx · « **Reply #766 on:** June 09, 2017, 01:34:27 PM »

Where do i extract the different files?

Carl · « **Reply #767 on:** June 09, 2017, 01:46:01 PM »

What do you mean?

thegamer7893 · « **Reply #768 on:** July 16, 2017, 03:27:24 PM »

Can we have an update please?

Carl · « **Reply #769 on:** July 16, 2017, 07:45:59 PM »

Not too much to add at the moment. I've not done very much since the last update. Working up the East Suffolk Line - will re-upload when that's finished. The next couple of months should give me a little more time. Will be nice to get an update on here though, because the last one is buried behind a lot of posts.
