Spring 2013 Patch Pack - English Help (Updated 02/23/2017)

[Dante123]

would it be possible to add a copy-paste patch to this pack ?

Is the Spring Patch Pack available in Mac OS X ? I have struggled for 3 days trying to figure out how to compile it and can not figure it out.

You may want to read up 3 or 4 posts, with the same question: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... 1#p1138931
Short answer: no

I should have read better before asking

Trying to generate a nice map, but it keep generating it all overgrown with trees now hehe, though i think it has to do with some of my settings and not with the patchpack.

When I tried to compile the 2.2.182 version (from the "Full source code" link in the opening post) on Linux, the compiler complained:

Code: Select all

[...]/src/fontcache.cpp:539:66: error: no matching function for call to ‘max(int, unsigned int)’
  int width  = max(1, slot->bitmap.width + (this->fs == FS_NORMAL));
                                                                  ^
[...] candidate is:
[...]/src/core/math_func.hpp:26:17: note: template<class T> T max(T, T)
 static inline T max(const T a, const T b)

I came up with this simple patch to make it compile:

Code: Select all

 	if (width > 256 || height > 256) usererror("Font glyph is too large");

...although I'm not a real C++ programmer, so I don't know if this is the correct way to fix it (but it seems to work).

Another thing: When I start the game, a message box pops up saying "The current base graphics set is missing a number of sprites", but I don't see any actually missing sprites, and everything seems to work (so far). The message pops up with both OpenGFX and zbase.

Anyway, thanks for creating this patch pack!
Finally I no longer have to be sad that chillpp was abandoned.

What is the problem you're running into when trying to compile it?

These steps should work (although I don't have a Mac, so I can't test it):

1. Install Developer Tools (Xcode) and the required libraries. [On Linux, the allegro4 library is required in addition to the libraries required by normal OpenTTD - not sure if it's the same on Mac OSX.]
2. Download the "Full source code" link from the opening post.
3. Extract it somewhere.
4. Rename the extracted folder to something without spaces in it. [Might not be necessary, but on Linux I had some problems without it.]
5. Open a terminal (with the extracted folder as the current directory), and enter these commands:

   Code: Select all

   ./configure
   make
   make bundle
   

   (See here for details.)
6. Find the OpenTTD.app in the bundles folder, end enjoy...

On Linux, my compiler was a little pedantic and refused to compile the game unless I made a small change to the source code (see my previous post), but that might not be necessary on Mac OSX.

I noticed something strange:
With daylength i expected the game time to slow down so al the new introduction dates of new trains and such dont come so fast one after another.
But with the daylength set to 26, it seems the whole economy as well is slown down with that factor. Trains and road vehicles take ages to load now. Is there some setting that i missed to compensate that, so the economy (loading times) are back to "normal" ?

Edit:
Ticks per minute is still on the default 74, should i change this?

Edit 2:
it seems to work fine when daylength is set to 3 and ticks to 222 (3x74)

OK, I found something that does not work: Defining desert tiles.

• When generating a random sub-tropical map, all land areas are grass (instead of a mix of grass areas and desert areas like it should be).
• The "Define desert areas" tool does not work.
• When opening an existing scenario that was created with an un-patched OpenTTD, desert areas show up fine, but can not be removed or expanded (see previous point).

This is unfortunate, as I was looking forward to creating a cool subtropical scenario that exploits the "more that 15 height levels" patch.
When I create it in normal OpenTTD I can't have extra height levels, and when I create it with this patch pack I can't have desert areas...

RE: "This graphics set is missing sprites" error - You will need to download a recently developmental (nightly) version of OpenGFX. http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/opengfx/ ... es/LATEST/

[PeteB]

I've just downloaded this patch pack seems to work very well and it loads all of my older savegames However, since 2013 I've been using an older patch pack namely 25048M and it won't attempt to load any of the saved games made by this pack as it says "Savegame is made with a newer version" which it clearly isn't. As far as I know 25048M just added the ability to increase the number of Newgrfs. Anything I can do to get these games loaded?


Cheers,

Pete

Thanks, that got rid of the "missing sprites" warning.

Generating desert areas in sub-tropical climate still doesn't work though... Does it work for anyone else?

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried to follow your instructions the best I can. After several hours of trying I continue to get this error message.

Do you have any advise?

I am working on a mac.

Typically patch packs are not compatible with each other, or with vanilla OpenTTD. Whatever games are created with a specific patch pack can only be opened by that same patch pack.

make: *** [all] Error 1

The 'clang' errors may need looking into, and lack of the various libraries may cause trouble later on too, but the above error is perhaps just a matter of a missing file. The "src/table/settings.h.postamble" is part of the source code in the OpenTTD repository, and should be available in that directory.

It is part of the generator that generates the settings source files.

The train buying menu is beautifully clear but it takes up about 80% of the screen

You may disable new build window dialog in Advanced Settings: Interface -> Show new build vehicle window.

Ah, I didn't know about that setting. Unfortunately the game crashes on me when I disable the new window style. I may try the previous release as I'm having some unexpected problems (it could be the PC I'm using here).

Thanks.

I've started a server using the patchpack if anyone wants to join. Starting in 1925 with a lot of newGRF's IP is enderempire.net. I am very open to suggestions

[Kaiser-NA]

Do you think it would be possible to add in HEQS and maybe the NARS trainset or 2CC trainset? I only ask about the trains since I'm partial to North American ones.

Then again, your server so your preferences

Not at all, although I am pretty sure I cant add it to existing world

I tried to connect to the server but after downloading approximately 1,5 MB of the map it says I lost the connection. Did my connection is not enough fast ?

I've upped the max join time to the maximum value, see if that works for you

EDIT: I've also enabled cargo distribution for passengers and mail. All other cargo is still on manual though

Had this issue once last night, but it worked second time. Thanks for setting this up!
