Ah, its NSW time!

This post goes out to The NSW openBve Community.

This is a small update on whats going on across the country to do with openbve.
The Cityrail Main North Line!

The city rail main north line is currently in development, with the current screenshots, it looks to be one of the best future releases in the whole of openBVE,

 As with my xtrap, i really need someone who can take sounds, if i cant find anyone, i'll release this as is. My Exterior is 99% done, i just need to smooth off the edges, the cab (2d) is almost finished, but its on another computer which i cant get into, so im gonna hack my own computer to get it back. The sounds arnt so good though... Im pretty much using the 323 sounds and i dont want to rerelease a train, so im going to wait for some good sounds, if someone could offer to mix and get some sounds from an xtrap.  it would be greatly appreciated.

Xtrapolis Openbve preview. IMAGES

Hello, I have been a bit quite with my xtrapolis, so to revive, or begin creating an australian bve community. I have created this so far. So without further a do. I present to you. The. Metro. X'trapolis.

 So, what do you think, post your comments below.  No comment to harsh, just dont start swearing. :)


Also, i have a few images that may become part of my future 'projects' But they will be released in the melbourne pack. Or packenham pack. or whatever.

So, anyway, i havent had any sucess on door sounds, i never seem to get on an xtrapolis that is not going sandringham. i hope you like this, and a good responce to this means i may realease this really soon!

Hand Coding, and a train update, and some resource info

Hello, I've had quite a time selecting what VCE subjects im doing next year, and while i've been doing that, i hope you people have had some fun with open bve. Tommorow, as you probably know, im going to go to Melbourne, the city, i will take photos, and hopefully model a;
(in priority order)
X'trapolis train
PRIDE II talking boxes (FOUND ON EVERY metro station)
MTM posters such as 'read a book, not a road map' etc. etc.
Aussie billboards, usable for ANY Australian Route.

Hopefully one day, probably on the Christmas holidays, i will sit here with my code, and make it all. But for now, i will release all my objects on one of my servers that i own.

So, this does mean my MTM X'trapolis is coming along nicely. I'll post some interior photos in a few days. And soon enough you'll have it downloaded. I am not announcing a release date tho. because i could die, or someone close to me could. joking. but expect it next weekend... ish

Anyway, Im trying to learn how to code, right now i'm using
Dennis Lances route building tutorial, which can be found at www.freewebs.com/dennislance/

Great tutorial.

If anyone is willing to help build some Melbourne routes, email me (l32007ATlive.com.au) and I'll send you some items, and accelerate my creation of them....

Hello fellow openBVEers',

im sad to announce the postponing of the MTM Xtrapolis 100 train, to study a bit more. I have a lot of
work to do on the 2d cab and exterior, so im going to postpone the release until.

Friday 25th.


Heres my progress to date

Acceleration Info. 50%



I am Currently using imitation engine sounds. :(


Now arriving metro sounds 70%

1. Now arriving, all passengers for the werribee lines please change trains at the next station. (DONE)
2 Metro now arrving. (Doing on thursday)
3. This train terminates at the next station, please make sure you have all your possessions with you when you leave the train. (Doing at final release)


I am going to the city on thursday with some equipment, to get some door closing sounds, and announcements, hope i can get on an xtrapolis or siemens, i think they use the same sounds.


Also, thanks to that nice (anonymous) train driver who let me in for some photos in flinders. :D
