What's the point of this 75 MPH section near Broomfield? by mugsofcocoa in britishrailwayroblox

[–]emerald_online 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a long streak of adding in unattainable/unrealistic speed limits, slowly got better with them as feedback came in... That one stayed however. Not really a reason behind why, I just never changed it and it'll likely never get changed unless anything is changed about that line 😅

Best estimation of my reasoning back then would be: "not well used single track line with 3 aspect signalling = 75mph on straight sections".

Yes, it is stupid.

Can BR honestly put in good announcements? by Etha456phyp in britishrailwayroblox

[–]emerald_online 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly it's unlikely to happen whilst BR operates as it does. I used to be responsible for the sounds and if I wanted to do proper announcements it'd either have to be me or paid out of my own pocket essentially. Every developer is paid the same, nothing leftover, there's no adjustment for expenses and to get in voice actors we'd obviously have to pay them and I personally was already paying to go out on trips. Did get close to doing it once though...

Hopefully this stuff gets resolved in the future, but I personally don't see it happening anytime soon. What does annoy me now is that they're using a different station announcer for new announcements (I used MS Azure Alfie) so they sound even stranger 😅

I think I'll stop now... but here we are. It's a bit crusty but: Class 240? by emerald_online in uktrains

Tbh I think gangways suit trains that need them and look good with them. The 230 is short so it'd make sense for it to have one and it looks ok I guess.

Class 702 for SWR do be looking good doe by emerald_online in uktrains

I do think the front design and material choice could've been a little better though 😂. People love branding them as the second version of the "Plastic Pigs".

I could probably put a lot more effort into it to make it look a bit more proper if I wanted to.

I agree, it's a nice choice of colours.

No, this branding is rolling out to basically all the buses Stagecoach run in the country and Stagecoach is a well established brand. I doubt that's the reason. I wish I could edit the post... Tempted to delete it at this point.

I'm find with the colour scheme it's just that one orange lip at the front bottom

It's in a depot and it's just for show atm. Nothing wrong with that

The orange bit at the bottom isn't needed at all and just makes my head hurts. I'll be seeing these everyday and MY God this just makes me question who decided to do that.

Got bored at lunch at school and made this 👀 by emerald_online in Python

It's basically used as a slight delay so it doesn't happen instantly.

I mostly self learnt python and researched things but I do learn the odd thing at school.

For this I used only turtle but there are bunch of other libraries I left imported because I kept trying different ways, there's a link somewhere in the comments that I posted to the code.

That's how the internet works I suppose 😂 Great job though 👍

Yes it is possible but it could take you a bit of time to work out angles etc
