Latest News

As always, stay here on BVEStation for the latest news in the BVE community.
As of yesterday night, OpenBVE Developer michelle has announced that she will no longer be developing OpenBVE. Trainsimframework.org has also been shut down, due to expenses by the people who owned the domain. Thankfully the program was open source, and public domain allowing anyone to modify, and use the source code in anyway they please.
36th Street Render on OpenBVE
I had quite anticipated this, as there was little reason to release all the work in public domain when there could've been a slightly more restrictive license used, but for now, we can be thankful that we have something to build on.
OpenBVE will be re-uploaded on BVEStation's servers as soon as somebody provides the main executables and source codes of the latest version of the program.
Continued development on the program is still pending, as some members of the BVE community, including BVEStation members want to create a fork. Information on OpenBVE's forks or other developments can be seen on BVEStation's Forums, and community involvement at other BVE communities can be seen at http://bveworldwide.unlimitedboard.com/t396-open-bve-discussion-board-closed-what-next
Frankly, I'm surprised that this is such big news and not a single moderator, or administrator has put this on the homepage.

A/B/C/D lines for OpenBVE v 0.9
Originally created by Joe (Phantom909) and the NYCTBA Staff
For more info refer to the individual readmes for each route
This Pack upgrades the original A, B, C, and D lines for improved use in OpenBVE. This package includes the unmodified contents of the orignal image files converted to .png for smaller disk usage, faster load times and smoother operation.
TO INSTALL
Unpack the 7z archive to your /Railway Folder, you will need to download the sounds seperately by downloading the original route installers (or their 7zip alternatives, whatever floats your boat) and extracting the sounds
TO ADD TO AN EXISTING OPENBVE INSTALLATION
Delete the 6thAve, 8thAve and LefShut folders in /Railway/Object first, then extract the archive to /Railway
A few words of caution:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THESE ROUTES OR OBJECTS IN BVE 2 OR 4
THESE FILES MAY NOT BE RE-USED IN ANY WAY WITHOUT PERMISSION
DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR PERMISSION TO USE THESE FILES, REFER TO THE ORIGINAL READMES FOR CONTACT INFO
I HAVE NOT TESTED THE OBJECTS WITH OTHER ROUTES THAT RELY ON THEM, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY
THERE ARE A FEW ERRORS THAT WILL POP UP WHEN YOU LOAD THE ROUTES, I AM AWARE OF THAT AND I AM WORKING ON IT, VISUALLY EVERYTHING IS FINE
Happy Operating

CPW Pack Version 2 with new A and D lines

Content Contributor
Introducing Content Contributor, a brand new way of connecting developers with members of the community.
Problem: You want fellow forum members to help you out with a project.
Solution: Make a topic, and ask them for files. Developers have to sift through pages and pages of submissions to pick the best one. Members have to look hard to find these requests.
Better Solution: Use Content Contributor, insert a request for a file you need. Members check the content contributor for what they can contribute to, then simply upload the file they need. Developers can then view all their requests and download the files given to them by the members! Sound files, Textures, even zip packages are supported.
Give it a try today. Available for ALL members.
http://www.bvestation.com/contributor/
As you can see its quite plain, since the system isn't complete yet, but it is relatively functional. More features (editing, closing, viewing, etc) and bug fixes will of course be added in the future, but any comments, suggestions, or problems encountered feel free to post them here.
Here's to advancing BVEStation for 2012.

OpenBVE:ME v0.59.Xa Source Code Released
Today, I will be releasing the source code of OpenBVE:ME v0.59.Xa in hopes of somebody will take the source code to build on it, and improve the technology it currently holds. I was originally hesitant on releasing the Codename Newtown series of OpenBVE, but here it is, the secret to what makes it work.
