Rail lines starting to go on.....

by **onbekende** on Sun Feb 17, 2008 3:27 am

only when yo got 1 line running between 2 of the same station, you can make it real railroads, otherwise blurryness takes over. Perhaps a kinda blocky railroad with the colors of the railroads?

You mean like this onbekende...the modern look

i think it looks better that way though i think that the gray should just be transparent so the black is there and the blurness should be fixed

by **onbekende** on Sun Feb 17, 2008 8:41 am

indeed to blurry, but a gain if you ask me

of course it's too blury....this is only to determine if this is what you want, and you didn't answer me that...is this what you are suggesting?

Are these any better? Tiger rails LOL

NICE (yes good)

Nord Express looks like chains instead of what the others look like

Yes...i don't think there is going to be a lot to be done about that...it is the angel that the lines run at that makes it appear as chains.

I'm liking the modern look.

this may come over as weird, but can't you just add some extra pixels on either side to straithen it out? (sorry, paint is the best I can do)

love those lines

by **gimil** on Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:59 pm

I mgonna put my hand up and say that im not a fan of the rails. They dont sit so nicely with the european theme. Im not really sure how to explain what rails I would see working, I jsut feel that these ones dont do it. . .

sorry

by **cairnswk** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:51 am

Gimil. not to worry, not everyone can like these things.

Anyway...it gives rise to this poll.

POLL TO DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF RAIL LINES SHALL BE....

Option A. Traditional

Option B. Modern

by **yeti_c** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:38 am

Gotta say - I prefer the original... (Sleeper rails) as that's is what *most* of europe have...

C.

by **benny profane** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:12 am

i also voted traditional...fits better with overall theme.

btw, in the legend it says "HSL is linked to STK via ferry"...
but on the map the station is named HEL.

by **Wisse** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:36 pm

i like them both

That's nice Wisse, but which one did you vote for?

by **onbekende** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:38 pm

I still go for B, but I can sure find me in A

by **FreeMan10** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 1:33 pm

Sorry, I don't actually see the rails in option A. Though, I think they'd be what I'd prefer, if they are similar to what we've seen in the past on this map. I'll hold off on voting 'til the rails appear in my browser.

There are rails running between Paris-Brussels and Amsterdam.
I didn't place them all coz there is a lot of work in that and i wasn't gonna do it and then have you guys change it.
