you mean you prefer the original version layouts of the stations...the stations are the same jakejake

Maybe he means the stations on rail USA?

oh dear...yes he could...but the continents have different flavours...os i did them with different flavours....same as with the Rail Australia stations....they have very different flavours/styles.
no worries anyway.

I think as long as the rails are all lined up next to each other, they're not going to be something I like. And, there's no real way around that so don't worry about it.

Thanks edbeard....the reality of the rail lines in Europe is like everywhere else there are several two-way tracks all over the place.

Anyway, here is Version 29....lines on both large and small.

Also, on the continent bonus listings, a few of the continent names text needs a drop shadow like the rest.

gimil...what's the go???

by **gimil** on Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:01 am

Ok here we go:

-On both versions the "bonuses" text still looks untidy.
-For the legends the bonus numbers could be better centered in there boxes.

those are jsut minor nitpicking issues thou, my major concern thou is the rail sleepers in the large are untidy in most of the map.

BRU is missing its station label in the large map only

No any more FreeMan10...please f5 for this version 29 above.

Hmmm... still don't see it, but I trust you!

The line bonus for Benelux is a bit hard to read - dk green on dk gray background. Not a major issue, just an FYI. Maybe a slight glow behind it to help make it stand out a bit more?

on both versions the text has now had a slight blur applied to stop that font from looking untidy.

Centered.

Oh...a day or so ago all the sleepers looked fine....did you have different glasses on then. :wink:

The sleepers are exactly the same on the large map as the small map, but they are increased in size because of propogation. Unfortunately I don't have WM's skills at making rail lines nor his Illustrator software, so i am quite happy with these lines. To be honest, show me a railway that has perfect sleepers, and i'll show you jesus.

If you'd be so kind as to point out where u beleieve they are worse then i will address them on the large map.

Try browser refreshing again....also the benelux bonus is lighter green...don't want ot put glow there as the lights beside them have glows....clashing.

Odd. Still don't see BRU, even on the newly posted image. F5'd a couple of times. Cleared cache & did it again. I trust you - if you say it's there, and no one else is complaining, then it just must be me...

I can let the Benelux bonus go, I just think it's hard to see - that green blends into the dark background. I suppose I'll just have to conquer the line to figure out what bonus I'm given!

u must have cob webs i your puter. :wink:

by **gimil** on Mon Feb 25, 2008 2:28 pm

BRU station is hiding on the large.

Unfortunatly im still not happy with the legends numbers and the bonus text

but I think I can live with hte railways lines if you reduce the opacity slightly so there a little less visable.

For the bonus text how are you doin it effects wise?

No, I'm not running a Mac...

otherwise, I think you're right. I'll give it a good smack upside the head and a dusting out to see if that helps.
