Patch: Found a town

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 25 Apr 2007 09:15

Released another version, Networking should be alright now. I need to be told of any desyncs. See the first post

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 30 Apr 2007 13:44

I have just released another version, hopefully the last.

This version bumps your savegame

you will need to remove the old versions to to this patch

See the first post.

I have some ideas:

1. Do an option to create 'ghost towns' (only label of the town generated).

2. Create an option for random town placement like industries

3. Maybe the ghost towns can be built only and/or randomly in locations where there is too traffic[1], or maybe a city splits into two with less size than the old one, or two cities become a larger one. Or maybe a city splits in 'towns': the city size is the sum of the city's towns, or even why not two or more towns near each other become cities?

[1] This will be of utility in situations like the screenshot ones

.

Good ideas.

With the screenshot of #1, are you wanting a town to be placed in the middle if the roads? Or are those roads a 'ghost town'?

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 01 May 2007 22:36

Released another version.

Also discovered if you build a number of roads, and found a town inside them it still works, but you now own the roads (and can delete them, put stations on them, etc)

Dont forget to remove the old patch, and svn update

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 05 May 2007 21:48

It looks like you've done a lot of work on this!

I've supported the idea of founding towns since I first heard the suggestion, its good to see a patch for it.

Anyway, I'll be checking this out soon!

Edit: Well I would do, but I get some crazy compile errors:

@PouncingAnt: that's normal (patch is not properly made)

@TheJosh: make the diff from root not from src

PouncingAnt · Post by **PouncingAnt** » 21 May 2007 20:07

That's normal? But I didnt see an option to found towns anywhere.. I assumed something went wrong with the compiling!?

glx · Post by **glx** » 21 May 2007 20:13

Something went wrong when patching (ie the patch didn't applied at all) because the patch is made from src instead root and BuildOTTD doesn't know that.

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 22 May 2007 03:33

just fixed

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 22 May 2007 22:45

Updated to latest (again)

It would be interesting in funding a town to begin by building only a town hall or a municipal building, then the new new town grow up automatically around it.

It would be nice also there were a municipal building in each town (under the town panel) and when you click on it it would automatically open the town menu. There is the same system in Sim City and Civilization games I think.

ThePenguin · Post by **ThePenguin** » 23 May 2007 18:15

When you fund this town does it allow you to anything you want in it even if you aren't helping the town by transporting? or does it act like any other town?

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 24 May 2007 01:14

it act like any other town

TheJosh · Post by **TheJosh** » 28 May 2007 13:52
