2.0.1 alpha / 2.5 beta discussion

Clicking on any tile causes a crash, for some reason or another.

Alpha 68 is one of the most unstable alphas I've seen, but it's still great.

Are the problems with early retirement fixed with a68? I see no mention of it in the patch notes, but the temporary-fix grf has built-in obsolescence, and will not load in a68.

Edit: never mind, this crash was my fault.

Two doubts:

1. Is normal that the cost of building a tram over a road was $0? Or it is a bug?

2. Why the graphics for two company colour was released if the two company colour feature wasn't released yet? Or I am outdated and I have to put something in my cfg file?

You have to put ccol2[w].grf in your config, AND a set that supports 2 company colors.

Now here's an interesting bug.

The maximum speed of each and every road vehicle increases, at a rate of roughly 1mph every 10 game days.

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 17 Dec 2005 19:05

OK, here's a pre-release of alpha 69. This time I want to make sure that all the really bad bugs are gone before releasing yet another buggy alpha like a68 (and all of the bugs in there were my fault too...)

You also need to download the attached update for the tram tracks or the tram depots will look strange.

Finally, I can't currently compile DOS versions, if someone else could do that (with complete version info) and post it here I'd appreciate it.

[edit]Oh yeah, the change log so far:

Upon trying to start : crash.

Oh and the patch is asking for a new mkpttxt.exe.

Silly mistake. Please download it again.

Bug with pre-69:

Tramtrack graphics do not appear on custom bridgeheads, even if they are supposed to.

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 17 Dec 2005 21:34

Trams don't work on bridges yet. That includes bridge heads, custom or not.

Ah, OK, sorry.

Another one: Tramway depots have very "custom" graphics, they display a semaphore in one corner, and a "bare ground" station tile on the rest of it.

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 17 Dec 2005 22:07

Have you downloaded the updated tramtrack graphics from my post above?

stevenh · Post by **stevenh** » 17 Dec 2005 22:08

JDK, are you _sure_ you have that latest GRF loaded?
I spent forever fixing it.
can you tell me what GRFs you have listed?

--EDIT--
Upon further investigation... I broke it, if you load tramtrkw.grf FIRST (top of the list) then it'll look pretty....

I'll work on this right now.
Thanks for finding it.

I have a bug report

TTD crashes if I try to delete part of irregular station (several electr. stations and 2 monorail platform). Do not know why, but when I try delete monorail station on the opposite end of track, game crashes too, BUT if I build one new monorail station somewhere on map and than delete it, it works OK.

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 17 Dec 2005 22:34

You seem to have irregular stations turned off in your ttdpatch.cfg. That's not a good idea if you do have irregular stations.

Nope, switch was ON (I am not so stupid

). But few minutes later I tried to put it OFF and voala - station can be deleted. But it was deleted complete (all rail tracks, mono and classic, ship port and road station was not deleted, which is OK), so I have to do:

1. quit game and set irregular switch off
2. start game and delete wrong station
3. build el. railroad platforms
4. save game, quit and set irregular on
5. start game and build monorail platform again (if I will want to put it into different position)

I do not like this proccess

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 17 Dec 2005 22:47

That's very odd. The switch data in the crash log indicates very clearly that irregular stations was off. Please attach your ttdpatch.cfg and the savegame here, as well as your newgrfw.cfg.
