Simutrans 85.04.1

[prissi]

This is the first version after Hajos retirement from Simutrans development. Compared to the last version, you may find some things, which also exists in TTD like growing industries and a message system. Other things are completely new, like power lines or garbage. Another change is a complete overhaul of the main menu, making administration much easier.

You need a new base file:
http://64.simutrans.com/simubase-85-04.zip Base files 64 set
http://64.simutrans.com/FoodChain-85-04.zip food industry add-on for 64 set
http://64.simutrans.com/WasteChain-85-04.zip garbage industry add-on for the 64 set

Or you an existing 128 base and this:
http://64.simutrans.com/simu128add-85-04.zip files needed to play the 128 scenario

If you want Kanji-support:
http://japanese.simutrans.com/simutrans-lang-japan.zip language support for 2-byte japanese

Finally, the executables:
http://64.simutrans.com/simulinux-85-04.zip linux (needs libstc++ V5 und libsdl)
http://64.simutrans.com/simuwin-85-04.zip windows

Error please report to me. Have fun!

This the last version 85.04 of Simutrans. I consider this version as stable and suitable for those players, who hunger for the newest features. Apart from bug-hunting, there are thrre changes. First, the corrected passenger values are most important. They are now also shown for factories. Second are the fact, that public road will be public for all times. Third, the vehicle acceleration was slightly changed, i.e. the drag was increased four times by the contant weight penality changed from 16 to a weight dependent value. Finally, many small errors were removed, and the random crashes during map scrolling, especially with unicode (japanese) should be gone.

Please delete a file "simworld.cfg" in your main directory for all messages to appear, if you upgrade from a version before 85.03.3.

These are the files for the 64 set. The ships have now different power settings and a lot of images were cleaned up:
