Here is an update on Transport Tycoon Deluxe. You can get it at www.tt-forums.net. Look for space Man Spiff and on his signiture, clikc on the download section and you can get the game.

For more information on the USSET go to www.as-st.com/ttd/newusa or www.as-st.com/ttd/usa/trains.html. If you want to join the project, and you need help, post your questions here. To draw you need Paint Shop Pro 9, (trial version) or i.Mage. (not a good program) To get your drawings out to the public, post them on http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=6236.

To draw, you need a special coloring tool. It is called the pallate. Another pallate can be found on a Sprite set. The drawing was made by Dan Mack. (not me). . The pallate is the square in the middle fo the 2 doodle bug's. Here are some more sprites. by Thrakki. by B52 (AKA me) Their is another pallate in the middle of the Union Pacific Olympic Sprites. by uzurpator. By Dan Mack and me. by Dan Mack by norfolksouthern37, and .

Get Paint Shop Pro 9, or i.Mage, copy the images in with the one of the many pallate's, and start painting. To get paint Shop Pro 9 go to www.jasc.com , then click on products, then find PSP9 and get the demo. To get i.Mage, do a google search.

When done post them on http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=6236. If someone makes a suggestion, make the changes before some else does. If you have any questions, please post them here.

What they are are little sprites. They are basicly drawings so that they can get coded in the game. Here some photos from me to see better what they do.




CRASH!!!!!!!!!

And here is one from Dan Mack's Canadian Set. No public release yet.

Miniwyo, yes their is. First,go to http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/. At the top of that page, download the lattest patch. (ALPHA 42). Now to make the game much more fun, you need TTDXC. Go to http://www.divxland.org/ttd/ttdsolutions.htm, scroll down until you find TTDX Configuator. Download it into your game directory, and run it. Select the options you want. If you want to make no maney, have all the money in the world, and trains running freely, on the vehicles page of TTDXC, at the top right scroll the more vehicles bar all the way to the right. Then while playing the game, place a sign and type in the sign Cht: money 10000000000000000000. Type in as many zero's as possible until it tells you to stop typing. To get the graphic for the usset, go to www.as-st.com/ttd/newusa.com Go to the Download section and get the Trains version 83.1, stations, signals, install it to your newgrf directore and let the game rip.

This has to work. you have installed it to your NEW TTD directory, open TTDXConfiguator. Tword the top click on live update, then in the middle of that screne click "Check for updates" once you have done that, it should come up with ALPHA42. If it higher that 42, that is even better. Than after you have clicked download for the new TTDPatch, go to help, and then click on the link third from the bottom, click for TTDXC update and it should come up with a website. http://www.divxland.org/ttd/ttdsolutions.htm
Scroll down until you see TTDXConfiguator and download 2.5.1., if it higher than 2.5.1, great. Select everything. For signal wait times, set both 2 way and 1 way signal all the way to the left. for more vehicles, scroll the little bar all the way to the left.

Now to get the usset stuff, go to this webpage. http://www.as-st.com/ttd/newusa/. Go to the download page, and download everything to the main TTD directory. Now, to get the graphics in the game, you need Graphic Manager.
http://users.tt-forums.net/shadow/. This is the website. Download the middle one and install it to your TTD directory.

Now run that and press add for all the .grf files until you have all of them inside the Graphic Manager box thing. The press save, and let the game rip.

IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH FREIGHT STUFF, DO NOT PRESS UNLOAD. YOU WILL NOT GET ANY MONEY. PRESS THE COMMAND BUTTON TO JUST GO TO THE UNLOAD STATION AND DON'T SAY LOAD OR UNLOAD, JUST LEAVE IT!

Did it work?
