Site News

Welcome to the Locomotion Depot
We hope you enjoy your visit!

New Site Layout

As you may have noticed, the site layout has changed! If you are having any weird problems, try a hard refresh to update any files your system has cached (Press Ctrl+F5). If that doesn't work, send me a message via the Contact Page.

The rest of the Locomotion network will be updated to the new style as soon as i can manage and any comments you have on the new style are very much appreciated.

Also remember to check out the new Locomotion Cache, which allows users to upload their own scenarios and new objects for Locomotion and allows other users to download them for use! Or you can wait until i fix the style and you can save your eyes from that awful green.

Have fun!

Site Problems

You may experience some slight problems with the site, mainly with the sections requiring the database (for example, this post). Rest assured, it's not my fault and it is getting fixed as soon as possible.

OK, it's been a little quiet

I haven't posted anything in those spot for over a month, but I have been doing some cool stuff. Mainly I've been developed the Expanded Aiport Pack which will not only contain a fix for the Large Airport lock-ups, but 2 new airports!

You can look forward to a new larger Heliport, with 4 helipads, to enable you to service towns from the air with much greater efficiency. I'm also developing a dual runway airport, although it's having some tough times, alot has been learnt from the previous tests (and documented on the wiki!) so it should go quite well. It is only planned to have 4 terminals, whereas the initial designs had 7, but it should be quite efficient, so more shouldn't be needed. Problems with the structure of the airport limited the number of terminals greatly.

I have still been updating the scenario section whenever I have been sent a new scenario. So if you have a masterpiece you wish to share, just send me an e-mail (details are on the scenario page). I will also be accepting any tutorials you can create, as doing everything myself is proving troublesome. So if you have one, or just an idea, send me a mail and I'll see what I can do.

Wiki News

Due to the constant mails I get about everyone being able to edit the Wiki and people editing for no good reason, I have decided to set it so only Registered Users can edit pages. So, if you do have anything useful to put on the Wiki, please sign up and post or you could send me a mail and I'll do it for you.

New File Format

I had a breakthrough a few minutes ago. Why not put all the scenarios in .zip files and help cut down on file sizes! So now all the scenarios are in the relevant zip files. This means i can also put the screenshots and readme files in there too. Another addition is the nice Georgia Scenario.

To help spread new things that people have added to Locomotion, I have devised a clever scheme called the "Community Expanision Packs". These are user made packs of new and exciting objects that we have made for Locomotion and are willing to share with the community. Head over to the forums for more information. If you have your own items, you may be able to get them into a CEP, so have a look at the thread now!

Oh, if anything breaks, you don't like the logo or perhaps you just don't like me. Let me know via the contacts page and we'll see what we can sort out.
