1) What's your first language? I can tell it's not English. If you want, it might be easier for you to continue this conversation in your own language while I make do with a Google translation.McZapkie wrote:None ship are available.SimYouLater wrote:After 16 days of radio silence, I've decided to give a taste of what's to come. See the first post for the teaser.
2) There's only one ship right now, the Fastnet Paddle Steamer, which comes out in 1880. More will come later.
2a) Do you have vehicle expiration turned off?
2a1) If so, have you tried a starting date such as 2100 to see if it shows up?
2a2) If not, have you tried starting in 1885 to ensure it hasn't expired?
2b) If 2a1 and 2a2 don't work, what year are you using as a start date and with what vehicle expiration setting?
3) If all of 2) doesn't solve the problem, are you using any of the following NewGRFs alongside blueFISH? FISH 0.9.2, redFISH, SQUID
3a) If so, which ones?
3b) If not, what other NewGRFs do you have loaded?
4) If all of 3) doesn't solve the problem, what type of OpenTTD installation are you using? Stable? Trunk? NotRoadTypes fork? New Map Features? JGR's Patch Pack? Spring Patch Pack? A patched version you compiled yourself?
4a) If Stable, 1.7.0 or a past version?
4b) If Trunk, which version(s) have you encountered the problem in?
4c) If NotRoadTypes, are you using the latest version?
4d) If New Map Features, which version and from which of the branches?
4e) If JGR's Patch Pack, are you using the latest version?
4e1) If so, I'll have to talk to JGR.
4e2) If not, does the latest version change that?
4e2a) If so, is the problem fixed or just different?
4e2a1) If just different, I'll have to talk to JGR.
4e2b) If not, I'll have to talk to JGR.
4f) If Spring Patch Pack, which version?
4g) If a self-compiled version, I'll need a copy of your installation to investigate.

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
I was using JGR 0.17.2, without any other ship grfs.
I launched it again with start date 1885 and still no ships, ship depot construction disabled.
EDIT: same for JGR 0.18.0
PS. English is not my native language, apologise for any grammar issues.

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
I've definitely got 1 ship.Looking forward to seeing this set maturing , may I ask youself and any other coders out there if we can have a bit more variety of river/canal barges ,transporting of ores/coals , I love transporting the logs using the log barge ,the one that appears to tow ,can not remember the grf set ,for the offshore , as I stay in the oil capital of Europe , a nice variety of supply vessels ,on the early side of years a nice fleet of sailing ships {trawlers,pleasure craft } , I personally feel that marine craft could be used a bit more if there is a bit more of variety , the ships are slow as in real life this is one factor we have to live with unless there is futuristic/concept/fantasy set as in the Ekranoplan grf , nice and fast ships , 127 km/h - 81 km/h .I think I am not alone in wishing you all the best in development of this set .

Well. That's not good. A bug that isn't reproduceable. This will take some time. Sorry for the inconvenience, McZapkie, and thanks for reporting the issue. I'll do my best to solve this.piratescooby wrote:I've definitely got 1 ship.Looking forward to seeing this set maturing , may I ask youself and any other coders out there if we can have a bit more variety of river/canal barges ,transporting of ores/coals , I love transporting the logs using the log barge ,the one that appears to tow ,can not remember the grf set ,for the offshore , as I stay in the oil capital of Europe , a nice variety of supply vessels ,on the early side of years a nice fleet of sailing ships {trawlers,pleasure craft } , I personally feel that marine craft could be used a bit more if there is a bit more of variety , the ships are slow as in real life this is one factor we have to live with unless there is futuristic/concept/fantasy set as in the Ekranoplan grf , nice and fast ships , 127 km/h - 81 km/h .I think I am not alone in wishing you all the best in development of this set .
EDIT: Nailed it! It's a bug in either JGR's Patch Pack or an unknown problem with the GRF. For some reason it doesn't show up when vehicles are set to expire. Contacting JGR about it now. If he can't figure it out, I'll have to ask around about what NML coding mistake would cause this, because I don't have a clue.
EDIT 2: Apparently it is in fact a problem with the NewGRF. I will check the code, but I do not remember anything that would even allow NML to switch vehicles off based on that setting.

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
Probably, because, retire early should be greater than model life - it is subtracted from the last availability date - you need to increase model_life value.SimYouLater wrote:Could this be the problem?Code: Select all

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
Bump. I might start working on this again (this or my "TTD-Scale" tracktype/static road proposal).
Does anyone know where I could get specifications on ships? I'm going to try using real stats and balancing from there.

I'll probably have to do more extensive research on older ones.

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
Tonnage (GRT) isn't capacity. That's my free tip about ship stats.
And you'll want a calculator that can do knots <-> mph (or km/h).

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
Good to know. The reason why GRT isn't capacity... That's the total weight of the ship itself? Or is it not the right stat for another technical reason? or is it just that it works like **** for balancing?andythenorth wrote:Tonnage (GRT) isn't capacity. That's my free tip about ship stats.

It's some ship thing - bales of wool or grain or so. Wikipedia is probably your friend.SimYouLater wrote:The reason why GRT isn't capacity...
Realistic stats give you absolutely nothing for gameplay, but they're a jumping off point for understanding different types and classes of ships eh?

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
I have meters of ship books (with real stats), but I don´t think there´s much need to use that in the game´s context. Simply because ships in TTD had been (and are) implemented even more simplicistic than trains.SimYouLater wrote: Does anyone know where I could get specifications on ships?

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
Back to the original plan of copying the SQUID/redFish stats then... Still, I would like to have two stats rebalanced from reality: Costs (pruchase and running) and speed. Where could I find that info easily? I've actually done some research on ships for an unrelated project, so I might know where to look, but the ships don't seem to match specific real life ships so much as ideas of specific classes of ships. The Sailing Ships are the worst about this, but even the paddle steamers are hard to match to a specific ship.andythenorth wrote:This is really useful for giving a sense of how inland ships (barges) compare to trucks.

According to Google, the Barletta wasn't a paddle steamer (possibly even a petroleum-driven propellor ship), and "Fastnet" is the name of a race for sailing yachts. So I don't know where to begin.

Re: blueFISH Interim Ship Set - Teaser/First Alpha released!
Barletta is inspired by Lake Como paddle steamers, but there's no specific ship represented.
http://www.paddlesteamers.info/LakeComo.htm
Speeds range around 5-40 knots depending on ship type:
https://www.quora.com/Merchant-Navy-Wha ... -of-a-ship
https://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans/eng ... ships.html
Realistic speeds make for poor gameplay outside of a specific historical play-style. You have to make a choice about playing style for the grf, or add a speed parameter to support more play-styles, as per Squid etc.
