Heavy Equipment Set (HEQS) v1.5.2 released! [OTTD]

[griffin71]

I'm trying to use HEQS with FIRS on nightly 22273 with patchpack. Strange to say that none of the HEQS vehicles appear in the vehicle list. The FIRS industries do appear, though.

Must be a kind of setting somewhere, I guess, but after spending an afternoon seeking for it, here's my plea for help.

1. What parameter settings do you have for HEQS?
2. Do you have engine pool enabled? ('Enable multiple newgrf engine sets' in advanced settings->vehicles)

What year is your game in? The first HEQS vehicles do not appear until around 1930 if memory serves me correctly.

@griffin: sorry I've no idea in that case. If you have patches applied, your savegame is of no use for testing

What happens in an unpatched game?

Sorry, a little bit of fun.

Andy, when can we expect something like this?

In each case I started a new game.

Indeed, I realised that patches might mix things up. But in an unpatched version (22273), the same phenomenon happened. I do see the list with cargoes, but no vehicles e.g. for sugar beets or bauxite. The date the game starts, is 1950.

I checked whether this could be due to a corrupted .cfg file, but not so (removng the settings file, forcing the game to revert to built-in defaults, didn't solve the problem).

[griffin71]

Follow-up:
In the unpatched version, in debug mode, I receive the following message during start-up (debug window):

dbg: [grf] openttd_plus.0.1/ottdpp.grf: NewGRF "TD DP+ A set of trains designed to complement the default train set. This includes future maglevs and monorails as well as more default trains for desert/alpine." (GRFID 44460000) uses GRF version 1, which is too old and incompatible with OpenTTD.

[Eddi]

this means the GRF has a wrong Action 8

[griffin71]

Okay. Judging the meaning of the error message, I assume the GRF is part of HEQS?

No, it's a totally different NewGRF and that message is only generated upon startup of OpenTTD as it finds this bogus NewGRF. The message is unrelated to HEQS and your problems.

You might want to supply a savegame as question like "in my games I never get.." are usually better judged if others actually HAVE one of yur savegames to look at.

[griffin71]

Thanks, planetmaker, for you suggestion.

The following savegame is with nightly 22377. The game just started, and no HEQS train vehicles are available. Road vehicles are, though.

Am I overlooking something very basic?

[planetmaker]

HEQS is mostly a road vehicle and tram set and contains currently and to my knowledge only ONE train vehicle, a version of the Gmud Mog. It will become available in the year 1958, your game is only year 1950.

[Digitals]

I find that GRF is great, more than it accords well with dirt roads batu GRF North American Road Set
I will put the tested tractor remorque.C is more realistic, in addition to the slow speed that is approximately equal to that of tractors réelle.Je do not know if this vehicle is off topic in this GRF
But he will have to trailer trucks?

I'm really sorry about mistaking to badly. Thanks for your help.

Do you mean the small hauling trucks or the large one on the trucks? The larger dump trucks are pretty close to that

[Voyager One]

It was just a funny picture... Andy has created a great dump truck, looks almost identical to this monster.

[Voyager One]

Doublepost, sorry...

Andy, many, many thanks! These will look great, especially larger ones on larger wagons. Awesome, really thanks mate!

[andythenorth]

Interesting reuse of half-a-tractor

It does look good.
