Wow, I like that water desalinization plant. Well we be able to fund new ones? They are a producer in the game, but there's water everywhere on the maps.

I've always been a temperate person, but I just might have to try playing in the tropical climate now.

Do they work for all languages?

Yep, but the texts are all in English. If anyone wants to translate:
"Coal-fired Power Plant"
"Oil-fired Power Plant"
"Water Desalinization Plant"
into the other three languages (German, Spanish, French), I'll add them in the next GRF.

Peter: Yes, they can be funded.

Promising start, 2 issues:

1. The desalinization plant.
Shouldn't it be built just like most refineries - near the sea?
There's not much to desalinize if the thing is sitting in the middle of a desert

2. The game map.
The new industries don't get separate colour codes on the map (industry mode). When I tried the Tropical climate, the above mentioned desalinization plant was marked red. So were the diamond mines.
It would be nice to get this changed in the future.

1.) Can't do that yet. (Well, maybe, but not easily, so I'll wait until it can be done correctly.)

2.) The Desal plant is not red. It's the Oil power plant that's red. I might be convinced to change the color, but to what? I'd really rather wait until it can be set with its own property, anyway.

@DaleStan;

German: Kohlekraftwerk, Ölkraftwerk, Wasserentsalzungsanlage (respectively)

Since it's not yet limited to the ocean, "Wasseraufbereitungsanlage" (water treatment plant) might be better for now ...

Patchman, I didn't know you could speak German

You may have written that somewhere a long time ago, but I've forgotten it in that case...

BTW, can't someone make a new graphic for the Iron Ore Mine as well? I'm trying to fit the Gold Mine's conveyor belt on top of that horrific black hole, but that's difficult with my skills...

Well Patchman is German. So that makes sense

I am aware of a bug in the factroy replacement which is brought around from it being a replacement.

It tends to smoke at times from in the middle, where the chimney was on the old factory.

DaleStan · Post by **DaleStan** » 19 May 2005 02:42

Thanks, Patchman. For now, I decided to change the name to "Water Treatment Plant" as you suggested.

Bother! I guess that means I need to re-code the factory to actually use the new industry feature. I was hoping to take the easy way out. My fault, not yours.

Looking forward to seeing your factory replacements, Dan.

Unless anyone objects, both BA's replacement factory and Dan's replacement factories will be available at the same time, in the same game.

En Français:
"Centrale électrique à charbon"
"Centrale électrique à petrôle"
"Centre de traitement d'eau"

respectively.

BTW off-topic, you've mentioned Linux, is there any way to play TTD on a Mac other than going VirtualPC?

I'm glad you've starded using my switch, and I'm sorry for the bugs.

Unfortunately, I can't really do any patching until 16th June, so bugfixes will have to wait...

"pétrole", not "petrôle"
And for the third one, "dessalement" rather than "traitement" would be more accurate ("dessalement" is the french translation of "desalination", according to my dictionnary)

No, Mac's use PPC architecture, are little endian, and I think they also use the RISC instruction set. Thus, somthing like Wine (DarWine for example) would not work. Sorry mate, Virtual PC is the only option by the looks of things.

i believe in theory qemu could run wine, wich in turn could run ttd... this way you don't need an entire windows installation i guess... but i have never tried it

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 19 May 2005 13:59

Why wine? QEMU + some old crappy Windows should work...

the only factory that smokes on the game is in the first scottland scenario.
