Over the last few months there have been several 'how do I build a route' type requests both on this (and other) forums and in my inbox. The responses must often seem discouraging at best and downright negative at worst to potential route builders.
Now, we all love driving good routes although there are relatively few active developers. To encourage 'newbies', I am suggesting a route is built on an open forum where all the commands used can be openly discussed in whatever detail is required. No prior knowledge would be assumed and the starting point would simply be considered as 'I want to build a route but haven't a clue how to'.
What I am proposing is that a route is built by myself 'on forum' from scratch. For simplicity the route would be short and fictional in nature but would contain as many BVE commands as possible. An element of object building will probably need to be included (probably starting off as modification of existing objects).
I would also have no objection to contributions from other developers as this is a learning exercise but I do not envisage is a collaborative route build - I am cetainly not aiming to produce the ultimate route but to demonstrate how to hand code.
Any interest in this?
