    BVE 4 in new display resolutions

    I hope that some users still play BVE 2. Take a look at the screenshot, please. This is an actual working example. Only thing: The cab image cannot be resized, so it can be left-aligned, centered or right-aligned at the bottom. Not perfect, but acceptable for 440x200 cabs. For the ones...

    Fatal Erro on BVE

    The thing with the , and . is a common problem as Tom described. Actually, the .NET framework provides the possibility for programmers to choose to parse strings to integers using regional settings and one to use a so called InvariantCulture, which basically is English and employs the . as the...

    RailSimRoutes update

    This is pretty much what one can envision BVE to look like. The textures are really good, even fine details show up. The grass looks really amazing. All objects are textured now, too, while in the X-City South route some seemed to be solid colors. I can only hope that the final route will still...

    The end of blue tunnelmouths...

    I'm working on that. In contrast to the display resolutions, this thing seems to be far more complicated. So far, I had no luck. Maybe in the near future though...

    BVE Error.

    Actually, these type of dialog boxes shouldn't appear with .NET applications. It should be a dialog box with a detailed error description and a white cross on red circle. I guess something special must have happended here, so that this dialog appeared. As you say that the dialog appeared after...

    The end of blue tunnelmouths...

    I can't agree. For me there is no action to do. What your "fix" concerns, you say that 24 bit images should be saved as 8 bit images, but this only causes that (after a suitable palette is generated) inexact blues get rounded to exact blues, so the actual problem is worked around, namely that...

    Running BVE on a Laptop

    There is no such thing as .NET Framework 2.2. The only versions that exist are: 1.0 1.1 2.0 3.0 3.5 (in development) BVE seems to need 1.1. I don't know whether newer releases are cumulative or older have to be installed separately. I think at least version 1.0 should be preinstalled...

    The end of blue tunnelmouths...

    Maybe I misinterpreted the problem. In my post above I thought about blue ringes at the edge of where transparency should start in a texture and where the opaque part ends. But the problem described seems to be a more general to me now: Everything that should be transparent is not. Right? If...

    The end of blue tunnelmouths...

    I see things differently. The problem is that BVE does not seem to support bitmaps with alpha channels (like PNG), but only BMP. However, BMP does not support transparency, so seeing through a texture is achieved through SetDecalTransparentColor (or something) in the corresponding CSV file...

    BVE 4 in new display resolutions

    Now isn't this interesting: Someone translated the program into Chinese and hosted it on their website. I never really thought about the possibility of translating it for users who don't speak English, but obviously someone felt it was necessary. Releasing the source code has therefore finally...

    BVE 4 in new display resolutions

    Blue Screens of Death are only possible in Window XP when in kernel mode. Programs run in user mode. The only things that run in kernel mode are device drivers, so it seems like a buggy driver to me. Try downloading a new driver (or if you have the newest then try an older one). A longer while...

    BVE 4 in new display resolutions

    You might also want to try putting christmas-tree-shaped CDs into your CD ROM drive and see if it starts spinning or just breaking.:-D Interesting, because we couldn't have don THAT before.:-D Ok, and now seriously. I have problems imagining all of that. And you're not the only ones...

    Did you know how to have wider fields of view?

    So here it is - the demonstration train for you to drive With the kind support of trainsimcentral you can now download a drivable demonstration that should allow you to get the "feeling" of the wide FOV cab. I guess that some of you don't really get the idea from geeky words and static...

    BVE 4 in new display resolutions

    So when running a 1360x768 screen 90° pivoted, the resolution would be 768x1360 (because it's on its side) and the corresponding aspect ratio would be 0.5647059. However, neither 1360x768 nor 768x1360 should be a resolution your graphics card would natively support (it's non-standard), so I...

    Did you know how to have wider fields of view?

    Ok, I guess I'm a little too fast paced now, so let's do that a different way. I updated my imagination of the Class 323 a little further, but as I was not able to get in contact with the authors, I won't post it here because of that copyright fetishism thing. Although it's just a "technical...

    Did you know how to have wider fields of view?

    You're right. There is a window there and you can also see the driver's seat, so you could say the cab image itself employs a higher FOV than usual, because you usually only see the front window in cab images. But: The track you see outside of the cab window will still have the same FOV. The...

    Did you know how to have wider fields of view?

    Well ya, the only thing obvious from the zoomed out picture is that BVE has its background sky not painted to what the vertical angle in my test cab allowed, so there is a black bar at the top instead of the sky, as in mackoy's Track Viewer. If cab creators are interested to experiment...

    Did you know how to have wider fields of view?

    Hi there, probably this isn't new, but I wanted to point it out anyway in case it actually is. BVE has a static FOV (field of view), means, the horizontal viewing angle is always the same, e.g. you can look 60° or something ahead. I don't know the exact value. We know that we can't look...

    BVE 4 in new display resolutions

    I myself noticed a little "blinking" only when browsing the open dialog, and in-game only when the window was covered by some other window or the taskbar. Make sure that isn't the case, and I guess, it already isn't. Maybe it's an effect of how .NET managed forms get rendered. I noticed that...
