Drawing IS my break. But it think I know what went wrong - my kid. He's usually sitting beside me and "commenting" all the time (BTW, how do you turn off a 4-year-old kid ).

They don't come with a switch, do they? Try giving stickers for leaving you alone while drawing .

Request for steam train research

The steam trains currently are a bit underrepresented in both the set and the infosheet. Therefore I would like to ask for help finding information about the Dutch steam trains in order to get a nice selection of steamers to go into the set as well as an infosheet that is as complete as possible.

So, what can you do if you want to help:
- Look at the infosheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... Wp4NzJ2enc
- Search for missing properties: for each row that has a train name up front, we need all the cells from "introduced" to "tender weight" filled in order to code the vehicle correctly.
- The "terminated" column indicates the year in which the train was last used in commercial service. If you find multiple values for power, speed, TE, then pick the highest one.

- Some trains have had multiple liveries. If that is the case, we need for each livery when it was first seen in commercial service.
- If the information for instance only specifies "livery introduced at the beginning of the 30s", then make a guesstimate and add a question mark to the year you chose. Then we know it's not entirely accurate, but then we can use it until something better pops up.

- We need some more steamers.
- You can figure out what series are interesting to add to the set. Series with a high engine count are always good.
- Small series are particularly nice if there is a large gap in the introduction of new engines.
- And of course find the same properties for this to-be-drawn engine.


If you're interested in helping out, then just copy the table from the infosheet to a spreadsheet. Save it to some format MS Excel can open and I'll then merge the information back into the infosheet. You can also just make a forum post with a list of properties you've found.
If you're also interested in doing research on cargo wagons later on, then send me a PM for editing rights of the infosheet (I need the email address of your Google account).

All small bits help! No need to find everything that is missing in one go!

I will take a look...

Bugfix trialrelease 2
Trialrelease 2 is now available: http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/dutchtra ... release-2/

It's basically the same as trialrelease 1, but I backported some fixes that have been applied to the main branch since it's release.
So also this version only includes the diesel and electric engines, no wagons.

Today and tommorow I hope to get all other vehicles coded to spec, including livery refits. From that point the regular nightlies will actually be playable (bar that you still would need to use wagons from a different set). From there I'll move on to adding the remaining vehicles that are currently drawn but not coded, mostly EMUs and wagons.

Doesn't work here - the GRF suffers a fatal error: Unexpected Sprite (Sprite 31)
Occured here both on OpenTTD CargoDist gb805cb3a and OpenTTD 1.2.0 RC1.

Purno, have you per chance drawn those icons?

I remember I once asked if it were possible to display sprites in the vehicle's description, but I don't remember the exact answer.

patch seems to be here:
http://fuzzle.org/~petern/ottd/enginepurchaseinfo.diff

check extra_callback_info1 for value 0x22 to draw a special sprite, otherwise it draws the normal purchase list sprite.

I could've guessed that...
