Play past 2090 (and now before 1920) (rev t)

Post by **peter1138** » 28 Apr 2005 11:38

Yes, it's not really a useful patch, but I was bored...

This patch allows you to play past 2090. Games saved with this version will not load without the patch as it increases the savegame version number. I've now modified it so that you can play before 1920 (back to the mythical year 0 in fact) but you won't get any vehicles yet (newgrfs only start from 1920)

Update: fixes build dates of vehicles and other objects from loaded old savegames, and a makes the date fields in network browsing uint32
Update: changes to network protocol now change version information -- shouldn't crash clients now
Update: now applies to r2495
Update: er, many, and now applies to r3356

Than you need even Vehicles after 2090.

I did say it's not very useful

but still, its a step in the right direction!
And, sometimes its better to do stuff in little steps, and test those first.

You could always turn vehicles persisting on

Yes persisting on and newgrf magic

Lots of grfs files that already work in openttd (like the DBSet standart, not XL) allready add new vehicles that popup at diferent times. For example in the dbset you have vehicles starting in 1921 (that's when I start my games)

Why is nobody making vehicles they start much earlier so 1830.
And een vehicles for far future.

so you can start in 1830 and build up to in the future after 2090

I was thinking about some:

Ships!!
Trains
Road vehicles since about 1910
Before this date, horse-pulled, low capacity carts

Aircrafts sice 1920

just need a coder who can make .grfs

I've just updated the patch so that it will load savegames saved without the patch, and fixes a few places which weren't correct.

So... it's more useful now, but still quite useless

Not that useless, you just need to find some newgrfs that make vehicles appear after that date or get someone to create them but It's a major step foward this patch (if it's merged)

Just updated the patch. It'll now start earlier but some without more changes it can't load Newgrfs before 1920. Newgrf stores the introduction date as a byte value starting from 1920 to 2175.

Just updated this to current svn...

Hmm? I thought you could play forever with OpenTTD. Or was that just TTDPatch?

Post by **peter1138** » 28 Jun 2005 19:57

Yes, but it just loops at the end, so there'll never be anything new. Of course, there's nothing new with this patch, but the possibility's there; though newgrf is still tied to a short date range at the moment...

useless or not, it's an improvement in reality.

Anything keeping this from going into the trunk?

Horse · Post by **Horse** » 29 Jun 2005 05:55

It is very uselus when new Vehicles made from before 1920 and past 2090

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 30 Jun 2005 22:02

Once OTTD can handle vehicles prior to 1920, this patch will be awesome. I've always wanted to play with old-time stock like 4-4-0 American types, Sailing ships and horse carts (in a decent game, not Transport Giant)

Post 2090 will be cool too, but starting in 1830 would rock

Be a real challenge, that's for damned sure

DeletedUser21 · Post by **DeletedUser21** » 30 Jun 2005 23:15

The 300 year challenge!

Start game: 1830
End game: 2130

That would be a game you dedicate 3 years of your valuable life to.

I have wanted the ability to start early for ages. I know C, but I never had the vehicle format knowledge.

Specifially it would be great to have low horsepower trains and be forced to route them more relaistically then straight over the mountain.

It would also be nice to have a reason to use ships rather than just to have some.
