Sort of...  it's very bursty.

I post my announcements here and people post bugs, but other than that 
it's pretty quiet.

Anyway, hi :)

There were times, where more people posted here, when the forums didn' t 
even exist.

But I have to admit that I switched from TTDPatch to OpenTTD and this 
group is rather useless for me now. But I still check it.

Sorry Josef, hard to beat that new multiplayer features :)...

Well unfortunately my current usenet... 'provider', appears to have very 
low retention for normal text messages (they focus on binaries and I was 
actually unable to visit this newsgroup through the server I was 
appointed to, they appear to have a separate server for text messages)

So I don't think I'll use this group much, because my ISP's usenet 
access isn't know for their good retention either :)

Ah well mine has just gone and completely changed all the login
information without actually telling anyone, not even in their monthly
spam bulletin email, telling me about all the wonderful services they
offer....  Which was nice...

  But not completely useless. I'm still here and from time to time an
active OTTD player. I made a nice scenario a few weeks ago.

  _And_ I have a question: Does anybody knows about discompatibilities
betwenn OTTD and "The Patch?"

  I'm thinking about a website where I could place my favourite maps and
it could be very helpful to know  if I would have to place different map
versions for OTTD and TTDPatch.

Indeed i am very afraid to download OTTD, 'cose i might like it more than
TTDX / TTDPatch...

If there are really incompatibilities, would i prefer more OTTD or TTDX /
...Patch? I just cant imagine myself using 2 diferent games for the same
objective... Sooner or later i would have to choose... I think i can downl.
it, with no commitments...

Scary... Right?

The www is already stuffed with (maybe) usseless maps, i always
wanted a realistic map of Germany to play with DBsetXL, and it's
impossible to find. I think ttdforuns have it, but i do not see php foruns,
i just can't! I have 56k and cgi-bin foruns are way far better 'cose i can
see them offline... I adm. a website with a cgi-bin forum about scale
modeling but in one year i only have 3 registered users... A well know
php forum (in here - Portugal) about scale modelling - a well known
lobby (!), have almost 200 users in a couple of months! Why people
like more php? Is slow! Hard to search (the search engines cannot
follow a conversation) only topics or keywords, cannot be stored in
cache...

About the maps: i have a realistic map, almost perfect of Portugal, but i
can't play it! Because its too damn perfect! I just cant imagine to put
railroads where they don't really exist! For a Portuguese like me, it's
understandable, but for a German, that maybe is not aware of the
geografy, could be quite fun. Maybe a German could find a railroad line
connecting Munchen - Frankfurt (Mein) - Koln - Hanburg - Berlin, a pretty
impossible think (or maybe dull), but for me, that i'm not really aware of
"what, when, where, why" of DRG / DB / K.Bay.Sts.B / K.W.St.E , it's really
fun! Since i am a poor guy, i can't buy model trains (HO), i have to amuse
myself in the closet playing TTDX/P... If i were rich, i probably had lots
of marklin trains, and still play TTDX... Since not... Dreaming... Call me
stupid!

I can post or send by e-mail the map, if anyone want's it... I didn't made
it, it was made by someone who grow to old to play ttdx and erased the
website forever... I even have a PT train set, but is integrated in the
trg1r.grf and i really don't know how to create a separate .grf file with
the grafics... Please help! Please?! Mr. Joseph? Mr. Blunck? Mr.Grzegorczyk?
Someone????

You could use GRFDiff (available with GRFCodec) to extract the graphics 
(you'd need the original trg1r.grf as well as the modified one, of 
course).  Then you can post the difference file somewhere, maybe someone 
will convert it to a proper new GRF file...
