New Transparency GUI discussion

Re: New Transparency GUI discussion
Three crash logs are attached.
I can't be sure as to the cause as these crashes occurred under varying circumstances at different stages of the game, but the common factors appear to be that the Transparency GUI options panel is open and they only happened since r1852. transgui2 was not loaded. In the first two crashes, I was using the mouse to scroll across the map.
The zip includes the newgrf configuration as well as three save games. The first game was saved before r1852 and was incident free up to that point. The first crash occurred before I was able to do the second save. The second crash occurred after the second save but before the third. The third crash occurred after the third save. All the crashes happened while I was working on the part of the map that has all the coal mines.

Re: New Transparency GUI discussion
The crashes are in landscape drawing, but I can't reproduce it. Could you zip up (or otherwise compress; I can decompress basically anything) your newgrf folder and send it my way, please? (If it's too large to attach, send it to my username at gmail.com.) Also, your resolution settings, the zoom level, and the transparency settings may all be significant.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Re: New Transparency GUI discussion
OK. As of tonight (r1865), the crashes should be gone; I wrote something that should never have worked, and so TTD helpfully crashed in someplace just about as unrelated as possible.

Re: New Transparency GUI - One Way Roads
I would like to lock my one-way road settings so that they are saved between TTDX sessions.
If I "Quit Game" my settings are saved.
If I "Quit" and return to Windows, the setting defaults to off when I start a new session.
I am unable to set my desired initial value for this option.
It's a small thing and only needs a couple of clicks to get it going again in a new session, but it is driving this old man further into dementia which in turn makes it ever more difficult to remember to turn the silly thing back on with every new session of TTDX.
Is this a bug or is this one of those TTDX peculiarities one has to live with?
Also, "moretransopts.hideoneway on // Hide one-way indicators when road toolbar is closed" seems to be backwards. I have to have this set to "on" in order to show/keep one-way indicators when the toolbar is closed.
Also, if I read the wiki right, lockoneway only applies to whether or not the hot key (t) is accessible. Is this correct?
Also (and this is just me being picky) are the one-way road symbols "Transparent" or "invisible"?
Here are my Patch settings:

Re: New Transparency GUI - One Way Roads
Don't use that word in this context, please. "Lock" has a rather different meaning in the context of transparency, which I'll get to later.wallyweb wrote:I would like to lock ...
Then set the content of ttdpatch.cfg so the desired behaviour appears by default.wallyweb wrote:... my one-way road settings so that they are saved between TTDX sessions.
Which setting? Hide defaults to on; lock defaults to off. Both of these are specified by your config.wallyweb wrote:If I "Quit" and return to Windows, the setting defaults to off when I start a new session.
This is a TTDX peculiarity. I checked before I implemented it, and even in TTDX, transparency was reset when you "Quit to (DOS|Windows)", but not when you "Quit Game".wallyweb wrote:Is this a bug or is this one of those TTDX peculiarities one has to live with?
I think you're reading it backwards. If hideoneway is on, the one-way indicators default to hidden.

They are "hidden" (or not) or "invisible" (or not), depending on which text you are looking at. They are never explicitly associated with the word "transparent".wallyweb wrote:Also (and this is just me being picky) are the one-way road symbols "Transparent" or "invisible"?

One-way indicators toggle between displayed and hidden. All other items toggle between visible and transparent/invisible; if the item is visible, it becomes transparent unless the last change of that item's visibility was a hotkey-toggle from invisible.

Also redundant ... How about:DaleStan wrote:Don't use that word in this context, please. "Lock" has a rather different meaning in the context of transparency, which I'll get to later.wallyweb wrote:I would like to lock ...
"I would like to save my one-way road settings between TTDX sessions."?
Exactly what I'm trying to do.Then set the content of ttdpatch.cfg so the desired behaviour appears by default.wallyweb wrote:... my one-way road settings so that they are saved between TTDX sessions.
Hide defaults to off, assuming this means that I will be able to see the one-way indicators when I start a new game/load a saved game in a new session.Which setting? Hide defaults to on; lock defaults to off. Both of these are specified by your config.wallyweb wrote:If I "Quit" and return to Windows, the setting defaults to off when I start a new session.
I think this answers my question. I'll simply have to live with setting the Hide default to off with each new session.This is a TTDX peculiarity. I checked before I implemented it, and even in TTDX, transparency was reset when you "Quit to (DOS|Windows)", but not when you "Quit Game".wallyweb wrote:Is this a bug or is this one of those TTDX peculiarities one has to live with?

- one-way indicators remain visible in game after quitting game and then restarting it.
- one-way indicators do not remain visible in game after quitting to Windows and then restarting it, but the button is in the "off" position and must be recycled.

yes.If lock$FOO is on, then [t] will not toggle the state of $FOO. Is that what you said?wallyweb wrote:if I read the wiki right, lockoneway only applies to whether or not the hot key (t) is accessible. Is this correct?

Thanks DaleStan.
It's all much clearer to me now ...
... I think.
Why did this conversation just make me feel like my name is George?
