Transport Tycoon Forums

• Because of the impending closure of Google Code, project is now hosted on GitHub. Links to Google Code revision numbers may stop working when that site closes.
• Bugfix: crash at load due to requiring old version of SuperLib. Now depends on v38.
• BaNaNaS update: Added PriorityQueue to the dependencies to prevent crashes.

• Bugfix: Although 4.0.1 resolved the reported crash, it regressed a prior bug where the first try at a route (as a new company) would never be built properly, and in some cases many stations would not be built correctly. Re-fixed.

• Bugfix: crash at main.nut line 607 due to invalid parameters. Thanks to MAG101 for the bug report.

• Implemented an event handler to detect crashed vehicles, unprofitable vehicles, and industry closures
• Now searches periodically for available upgrades to road vehicles, and replaces the outdated vehicles
• Now detects the location of an RV-hit-by-a-train crash, and replaces the level crossing with a bridge if possible
• Also detects vehicles with invalid orders, along with vehicles missing orders entirely, and sells them. Thanks to Lowkee33 for the suggestion.
• Now sets order flags for freight routes to avoid pickup at the destination station.
• Restrict new passenger routes to towns above 500 population.
• Removed unprofitable route check, since checking for individually unprofitable vehicles makes it redundant
• Fixed a minor issue where the first route as a new company would never be built properly.
• Modified the "enable buses" AI setting so changing it will actually take effect before reloading the game.
• Removed profitability restriction on adding vehicles to routes, per suggestion from Lowkee33. Also now adds new trucks before buses (in case it runs out of money) as freight cargoes are generally worth more per unit than PAX.

• Add support for trains
• Better handling of unprofitable plane routes
• Convert to API version 1.1
• Handle freight delivered to towns, such as goods or food
• Make a setting as to whether to "play nicely", would mostly affect how many subsidies it tries for

Thanks! It's interesting because I'm already using that function to identify the PAX cargo, but it still ends up building tourist buses anyway.

Brumi wrote:I decided to give your AI a test run.
It built 2-3 routes, then a few years later, it sold its stations, leaving the vehicles behind. After I restarting the AI, it repeated this 3 times.

Brumi wrote:Well, most probably it's my settings that cause the trouble. I used the Generic Tram Set and the Temperate Oil Wells Only Decrease Neutraliser when I tested your AI, these shouldn't make a difference. Now I tested it without any NewGRFs, and I still saw the strange behaviour.

So here is an openttd.cfg, the bug can be reproduced with these settings.

Until then, I might make the number of vehicles a configurable setting in v4, and I welcome suggestions for other ways to tackle the problem.

local depotList = AIDepotList(AITile.TRANSPORT_ROAD);
foreach (depot, index in depotList){
  Sleep(1);
  local vehicleList = AIVehicleList_Depot(depot);		
  local vehicle = vehicleList.Begin();
  local stationPos = AIOrder.GetOrderDestination (vehicle, 0);
  local station = AIStation.GetStationID(stationPos);
  local engine = AIVehicle.GetEngineType(vehicle);
  local cargo = AIEngine.GetCargoType(engine);
  
  if (AIStation.GetCargoRating (station, cargo) < 63) {
    takeLoan();
    local newVehicle = AIVehicle.CloneVehicle(AIOrder.GetOrderDestination (vehicle, 2), vehicle, false);  // OrderDestination 2 is the Depot
    AIVehicle.StartStopVehicle (newVehicle);
    repayLoan();
  }
}
