FIRS Industry Replacement Set - Development

that could be solved in the same way like the fences.

Indeed

Spotted an error in the dutch translation:

What is the 1TYPE used for? it does not exist for other types of cargo

It's legacy, deprecated and not needed

It's also present in the English translation, which is wrong

New update to Serbian translation against newest (21.2.2011.) eng file.
(and with 1type in it )

Is there a way to control the gender of strings? In Serbian gender of industries are mostly female while openttd default is male, so eg. the "New industry founded" news are a bit odd.
I think there is no way, but if I have missed something...

Cheers.

[edit] removed file (new is in second post below)

[planetmaker]

Thanks for the update

Is there a way to control the gender of strings?

There is a way. Look at the German translation to see how it is solved: http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/fir ... erman.pnfo

Basically you first define a table of genders. And then you can use those Genders in the strings. The Genders need to match the ones in the official translation into Serbian which OpenTTD uses.

So you'd add to the header of your translation file

Code: Select all

#define GENDER_TRANSLATION_TABLE 01 "muški" 00 02 "ženski" 00 03 "srednji" 00 00

Add a few convenient defines:

Code: Select all

#define GENDER_MUSKI 9A 0E 01
#define GENDER_ZENSKI 9A 0E 02
#define GENDER_SREDNJI 9A 0E 03

Note that the numbers of these lines correspond to the numbers in the GENDER_TRANSLATION_TABLE. But if you copy this verbatim, you're fine and then can use those defines in your strings:

Code: Select all

#define TEXT_CRG_BAUXITE_CTYPE                           GENDER_SREDNJI "Bauxite"

I guess I can wait with the Serbian language update of FIRS till you include this (unless andy plans to release earlier)?

[etran]

There is a way.

Wow, Thanks man!
I would never look at German translation... I've looked at translations of similar languages but didn't find genders so I thought it was impossible

I guess I can wait with the Serbian language update of FIRS till you include this (unless andy plans to release earlier)?

And here it is.

Cheers and thanks again!

I've improved the Lime Kiln graphics. More character, less bland, more TTD-style:

The new one is better

[Zephyris]

Looking very nice, they really capture the TTD style.

I'd like to suggest removing alcohol as a cargo. It's hardly different from food, just another town cargo that needs to be transported and possibly won't. Besides, no house set supports it, which makes it much harder to find a place to bring it to.

[Simons Mith]

Shops are very cheap industries to fund, and 'pub' would make a great new tile type anyway...
A strategy tip with FIRS is to bear in mind that some industries really are cheap enough to found, once your network is reasonably established, and take advantage of that fact.

[andythenorth]

Plastics Plant improved. The doors might be a bit nuts, not sure. I'll decide later

Also the roof on the main building doesn't match the roof of the warehouse. I kind of like that at the moment, but I'll probably end up repainting one or the other

I like the "bland" colours, suits better with the most town sets.

What about a brick version for the early days of plastic?

[andythenorth]

A while ago it was reported that oil wells and fruit plantations can cause subsidence disaster.
http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/2088

I wonder if the issue is more widespread. I play with disasters off, so I wouldn't see this one.

Have you seen unexpected industry subsidence disaster in a FIRS game?


Also - FIRS 0.6.2 should arrive in next few days. Should be savegame safe with other 0.6.x versions.

[Simons Mith]

I've seen cement plants blown up under mysterious circumstances, which left me a bit non-plussed, and a couple of times I've had a sugar refinery got hit by the 'refinery' disaster. I'd like to add some new disasters to the game that aren't quite as outlandish as the current list. What's wrong with an ordinary fire, for example? Doesn't even have to be arson...

[oberhümer]

So what about my alcohol question?

[planetmaker]

So what about my alcohol question?

Personally I think alcohol is a fun cargo ingame and it should remain. No house set (yet) supporting it is IMHO not a problem.

New update.

Translated missing 'crates' suffix.
(which caused cargoes who use it to be in English)
