Cannot buy new trains or plans

Post by mj1985 »

Hey,

today I updated OpenTTD from 0.74 to 1.0.5. No problems while installing, but after I tried to open my last savegame I wasn't able to buy new trains or plans.
With the old version I there was a problem with double entries.

I can buy cars without any problems. Maybe there was something wrong with my savegame before?
I attached my savegame, maybe someon can help me? Thank you :)

Do you have enoug money and are you positive you're not trying to buy electric locomotives in a non-electric depot?

Given your description I deduce that you started out with some vehicle NewGRFs and removed them while playing. This is what caused the invalid/double entries in 0.7.x. These invalid entries are not shown anymore in 1.0.x, which is why you can't build any vehicles anymore.

So yes, your savegame is screwed but it is caused by you removing the NewGRFs in-game and ignoring the big red warning.

Yes, I have millions of Euros and yes I tried the right locomotives.

I CAN buy vehicles, I can buy cars/trucks without any problem and I had the double entries in the trucks, too. So that's weird.
As far as I can remember I tested the NewGRF's not in-game, I quit my game, but to be honest I am not very sure about this (I did this long time ago).

So my game is lost? Bummer :cry:

Depends. As Rubidium pointed out it seems you're missing GRF's. Load your game, open the NewGRF window and see what messages are there. Perhaps you can trace back which sets you once had.

You did not do it once, you did it 4 times. You might be able to save your savegame by adding some vehicle newgrfs to it. No guarantee it'll work and it might break even harder.

Nothing removed?

There are multiple occurances where you removed train newgrfs and even more where you removed others.

Damn it, but I tried to add some NewGRFs and finally I am able to buy trains and planes again. Thank you for the hint, no crash so far :)
Now I know, what I did wrong :oops:
