What size should I play it on??

CANT PLAY IT

stop using thy country accent. THIS IS THE LEGIT WHIPLASH MOUNTAIN RANGE. Oh, wait. This is the wonderful west. HEY MISTER WESTERN PERSON!

Thx We actually converted the Map back in Jan 2021 but we didn't want to upload it so we can fix some Problems and wait a bit so in the meantime you may be changed your mind did convert it yourself

@Franklen12 - I had a quick look mate, looks OK. Hope you get lots of interest for your efforts

Hi Silky Rough I just wanted to inform you that Rubinsky and Me converted you're map to TPF2.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2547632655

Thank you, Silky Rough. I am -pretty much- done with the map, except I can't currently play it after having seeded vegitation because of my RAM limitations. As soon as I can sort that out to where I can make more adjustments, I'd love to share it.

However, my build of your map is not a full on replication. I took a few liberties with some personal creativity.

I will not be releasing a map for TF2 due to work comittments. I am more than happy for someone to replicate *provided* I am credited if the map name, storyline or concept is used.

Let me know if you do so I can have look. :)

@SilkyRough
Even though others have mentioning that it should be in TF2, and are "making their own versions", I'm risking the chance of the rough end of a pineapple coming my way...

Are you going to add, or (re)make this map for TF2, and if so when would it be likely to appear?
Thanks.

Hi! Steam won't let me message you directly unless you add me to your friend's list. So, I'll ask you here in hopes that you will see it. I am currently working on creating your Whiplash map from TpF for TpF2, and whence I am done I would like to ask your permission to release it on steam.

The map isn't a 100% exact replica of your map though, but I think I did pretty decent faithful recreation with some of my own minor modifications.

I would love to have this map in TpF2!

About the Steel produced at Wishnone not being able to be shipped south, I've seen at least 6 ppl asking about this and would like to know if there's any workaround.
Just finished this very costly connection and can confirm it just won't ship: potential stays at zero, both at Steel Mill and at Machine Factory. Any hints at how to solve this?
Is it a bug with the base game due to very long distance maybe?

Anyway, thx for a very nice map =)

what am i supposed to open the settings file with? nothing i try seems to be working.

The map has been a blast so far, second only to the Golden Horseshoe.

However, for some reason steel produced at the Wishbone mill is refusing to move to the southern goods factory or the tool factory south of Joburg Crater. Steel has been produced and plastic is sitting at the tool factory but the steel simply won't move. Not sure if a game mechanic is causing this or if I am doing something wrong. Has anybody found a solution to the problem or encountered it themselves?

Are the stations / everything listed there?

@haftergohn. You could try reading the instructions I so lovingly put together for you?

i cant load the map.The error message says that the hightprofile is too big

I played until 2325. Only stopped because with all the vehicles and larger cities it finally got too lag-gy to be enjoyable. THANK YOU!

One question though - the Wishbone Steel Mill. Is it actually possible to get its steel to the southern machine factory and southern goods factory? I tried a few different combinations of trains and ships but nothing seemed to work.

@Zekken - I'm glad you like it. Your comments are appreciated.

I've been playing a heap of this map, I've set myself a "late steam Era" hard limit on vehicles, and am going for an "aesthetic and realistic constructions" style when building roads and railways. No 1B bridges or stupidly long tunnels here, every route, road or rail, is long, windy, and steep.

I abolutely love it, the immersion is top notch. the scenery is top notch. The challenges to get effective routes running is great fun. I applaud every aspect of this map.

@patbcross
There's two of them, plus one for "snowy mountains"
These are the links to them both. Hope this helps you out.

There's also another one you might (or not) like


Snow Mountains
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=803323740&searchtext=snow

By any chance could you point me to the extra vegetation mod you'd recommend? Perhaps it was updated recently or whatnot because I can't seem to find it.

Also this map is truly amazing, though regretfully I sorta cheesed it and turned on infinite money so that I could put together a full sized network from the start. At present I've had the game paused for a while so I can fiddle around with things and make the network JUST right. I might post some pictures of the setup once it's up and running.

I have a concern, the oil plant does not produce a barrel. Is there a problem with long distance freight on this game? Nice map !

ummm the settings when i run it it changes back to th original and even when i make a new file and delete the other file it reappears

Right click on the file (find it as per my instructions above) and edit using notepad or similar.

dumb me here...how are we supposed to edit the lua file? can't figure it out

Thank you

@Tolga IV. I just make maps, I don't provide game support. I suggest the forums.

Thank you. I like your map :)
But I have a problem. I can't use the cargo ships for the steel from Wishbone to Harpoon Bay or somewhere else. I tried many docs for the ships 4 stages for example. Can you help me? Thank you.

Even though theres a flat valley from Rosie to Wishbone i like the challange of building on the cliff with this gorgeous map!

This is most def. one of my "go to" maps, along with a couple of other maps on here too.
Well done that man, well done!

@UnOriginalName27: Check how much RAM You have available, this map will eat quite a lot of it...

One of the best maps I have ever played!
Although i have to admit I "cheated" by using the Industry Tycoon mod to place a few industries to help the production chain....

Hi so I've changed the experimental maps setting and the map still wo't load. Any ideas?

I cant seem to get fuel to the northern area past wishbone? can someone help?

I am currently about 300 hours into playing on the Whiplash map and loving every minute of it. The challenge is sometimes frusting but extreamly rewarding when you get it working. Would recommend this map to anyone looking for a very rewarding challenge and a awesomely detailed hand crafted map.

It show! After playing this map I just can't find another one I like. Its perfect!

@NRT - a rough base was done in L3DT Pro (paid version) and then it was manually sculpted, rendered and tested, modified, rendered and tested etc. for many, many, many (many) hours. :)

This is the most fantastic maps I've ever played. Very curious on what program you used to make this?

Hello. for which you do not make cards accessible to people who can not afford a computer of 4k or more. thank you

just binge played this for a solid 7 hours and lost the save file, bummer. On another note, does anyone have any save files of built up games they would share?

I can't find me steam folder in my files when i search for it it never comes up:(

It looks like a great map. Unfortunately I cannot load the map :( I got the error-message that the map is too big, but I have activated the exprimental maps attribute. Do you have an idea of what's going wrong? The other map "Fraser - Thompson Canyons" can I open without any issues.

@joethepro36 - Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. I'm delighted you enjoyed the maps engineering potential. :)

An exceptionally good map which I had the pleasure of playing a game through to 2000 on. Building railways across huge distances across massive grade differences is a very rewarding challenge.

You can use notepad. The map.lua file is in the folder the map is in. Just make sure you do a backup in case you mess up. :)

It's shame. But i respect that. Can you told me how i can edit that file? Or better way... its posible to edit localization of cieties and industry? if its posible can you told me witch program i need tu use it? Thx mate for anwser and have a nice day ;)

@Scorpion - you can edit map.lua and remove as much industry as you like. Note, unless it's been fixed you need to leave at least 2 industries or map fails. As to your request. I've moved on past TF so no more work will be done here. Cheers.

Ok. I have two question. Can you make this map without industry?
My game crash when try load that map... almost all map with industry crash. don't knwo why...
that first reason. Seccond is, that i like use custom and modded indystry, (they have own truck stop and some of them have train stop too. So that whay i ask you, can you make this map without industry? I love that map, and if its no problem can you make a topographick view of this map with markered industry and cityies? that will make me so much easier to place industry near by orginal place and make me a litle more easy for my. :)
