Patch for Driving Trains?

[NekoMaster]

Is there a patch somewhere around here that lets you actually drive the trains like the "driver" cheat in locomotion? It would be fun and also give you something to do after you make a huge network. Or you could take over a AI (using cheats) and drive its trains :3

Yes, peter1138 made something like that a (long) while ago. Can't be bothered to search for you though.

Aw, i can't find him.

Try petern. Seems to have had a forum name change

[petert]

Seems that I can't even find his patch...

I think it's something about console tools to manage trains.
If it is, then just search in OpenTTD Development for console in the topic title.

No, it's for actually driving the train, i.e. extreme micromanaging the train. Not some console do something for all vehicles thing.

[Gremnon]

Hmm, odd. I thought that one was for something like it.
I don't suppose you could be generous just enough to give us some more useful search terms, and we'll do the searching?

I found this, but its for road vehicles only.

Not only is that too old, I want something that can let me drive trains.

Well, I can't find this impossible patch by petern/peter1138, so it must not exist. (Yes, I searched : http://www.tt-forums.net/search.php?key ... mit=Search)

Then you're searching for the wrong keywords, at the wrong place and maybe even the wrong time (the patch might be gone).

Just to prove that I'm not faking it:

Found nothing, if you know what to search for or where to get it why not help me, though, before you go search for it, can you remeber if it was Before openTTD 5.3 or after? (I know most patchs are applied to nightlies but what i mean is , is it a nightly (or stable) before or after openttd 5.3 cause if its lower then that dont bother)

I think it might be a case of 'before then' since searching those logs, and the forums seems to be fairly fruitless.

I guess so...

Good luck

[petert]

r7490 source is so hard to work with. No make bundle, no findversion.sh, and all the .c and .cpp files are in one directory.

[Gremnon]

Hence the 'good luck' from petern.

I think what this needs is a rewrite from scratch.

[peter1138]

Nice try, but your binary didn't include COPYING and the like. There's also absolutely no point in posting it.

[petert]

Re-uploaded with COPYING.
