Bugs in MiniIN

Post by davidc »

Here are a few of the bugs I have found using last night's MiniIN (r5722). No idea if this should be here or development forum, but development forum points above for problems.

1) Autorenew for trains does not seem to work. It may be the same for other vehicles, but I've not noticed it yet. To reconstruct:

- Build a train
- Make sure autorenew is on, money is sufficient (or set to 0 in configuration), breakdowns are on and disable servicing is off. I toggled all to the correct states to make sure it was not a configuration glitch
- Sit back and wait 22 years for a train to get too old. It will visit depots to be fixed but not get renewed

2) "% load" and "full load" options break when moving from one rail-type to another. To reconstruct:

- Build a normal railway depot and train
- Give the train an order to full load at a station, this will work fine
- Convert the depot (with train inside) into monorail
- Delete the engine, replace with a monorail engine. This will keep the route
- Start the train off, you will find that "full load" is still set in the dialog but it doesn't full load at all, it just collects and leaves. Toggling "full load" on and off will fix it

3) Bridges aren't saved/loaded in the template patch

- Build a junction with bridges (or just a bridge, whatever)
- Select it all in template toolbar
- Save it
- Load it
- Paste it, bridges are missing

(I've reported this one on IRC)

Perhaps I'll find some more, but for now I can't be bothered to fix the routes of 55 trains to full load again :(

Thanks.

Please post bugs in MiniIN in the sticky thread - its what its there for.

1) If you have a loan, then AFAIK autorenew will not work. Please repeat check with this, report what message comes back (if autorenew fails, it gives a message - so enable vehicle messages).

Also, IIRC, once a train goes beyond its renewal window, it wont get renewed even if it is older than the renewal limit. IMO this is a bug in the way the autorenew works, but is not specifically a MiniIN problem.

2) Please bash gigajum over the head with this one. Loading options is a nice idea ... but, oh, so many problems :(

3) You must copy the whole bridge (both ends). If you did, then it is a problem, and the copy/paste author needs to look at it.

Sorry, I didn't realise. Please merge this if you can :)

Nope, no loan and no messages. Where would I turn them on if they are disabled?

Will do, thanks.

Yes, I did, but I have reported it. I just posted here for completeness, so somebody can find it in the forums if they search :D

By the way, your firework photos are great ;)

Best "merge" is if you copy your text across to the other thread and add a post there. Gigajum is usually pretty good at checking and chasing bugs... (well practiced I suppose ;) :p )

1) in the message settings option (2nd right button of main toolbar). Make sure you have "your vehicles warnings" set to Full.

Thanks on firework photos - my one "claim to fame" - other than MiniIN & TGP of course ;)

Closed the topic for the obvious reasons.. copy the topic to the right topic.. I can't find how to merge 2 topics ;)

To make it perfectly clear: post your bug here:
