The flag is green and it gives no error reports. The grfdebug.txt from the game I was playing gives

Code: Select all

# North American Building Set
newgrf/nabsw.GRF
# 45520100
# North American Building Set (NABS). Artwork by Oz. Coding by Richard 'Aegir' Eldred. Special thanks to Csaboka.
# Active A:01 F:00

I cheated a game (fund new buildings) and tried several years, I only get 3-4 NABS buildings in the 50s (picture).

Maybe I just have an old/wrong version of it; can you give a link for the latest download (unless it's still aegir.bur.st/...)

The file you are using appears to be the most recent. The link is still valid as far as I know. Aegir would be the final authority on this.
As for the number of buildings you are seeing, that would seem to be about right as I don't think Aegir has drawn that many yet. I suggest loading NABS after TTRSv3 ... That way you get a full set of alternate buildings including several from NABS. The effect is quite nice actually.

... Maybe I just have an old/wrong version of it; can you give a link for the latest download (unless it's still aegir.bur.st/...) ...

You can tell what version you have, by its size. The latest beta is about 1,700+ KB (not publicly available), the one on Aegirs website is about 500+ KB. You can tell from that, one has many more buildings.

@Aegir : just release your beta as it is. It's a shame that such a splendid building set, as your beta is, is not yet available publicly. Apart from the 'food' problem in an OpenTTD temperate game, I have not come across any problems.

The only thing I dislike, is the fact that in 1950, the buildings are starting to disappear (the local authorities are replacing them with 'original' or buildings from other sets). That's a pity.

Thank you oh glorious leader for dictating my release schedules . I'm sure you would ignore me if I told you how and when to release the CanSet and CanStations early, when you know yourself that they are not finished.

Ahh, now, see, that is one of the main reasons behind the delay - Apart from Real Life (tm), creating a website and readme and whatnot, converting the entire grfmaker source tree over to plain NFO and thoroughly documenting the sources, designing the makefile system behind the new NFO source tree, and occasionally doing some actual game-testing in TTDPatch and OpenTTD.

It'll be released when it's released.

[Raichase]

OzTrans, you understand as well as anyone about releasing a set, please don't pester Aegir. I've been testing a very old copy of the beta, and yes it works perfectly, but why release something that isn't finished? You just get people whining.

I'd wait a million years for a really nice graphics set. Thats what all the good grf makers do.

Hell, we all wait patiently for Pikka, or Michael...

The first time that I had looked at that suburban station that you had made and I said wow and tried to download it and it just came up with loads of ?s.

I looked all over this thread and it is ether what I explained or the internet can't find the address.

I mean what's up with that?

Try a right click on the link and then select "Save Link As ..."

[DaleStan]

Ah. As I suspected. Aegir's swerver has forgotten that GRF files are application/octet-stream, not text/plain.

[wallyweb]

... swerver ...

Aha! Just as I thought ... He's been putting too much Emu into the CPU.

I did that and transfered it into the data folder but it doesn't appear on the new GRF menu when i press refresh.

(not relevant) The same happened when I tried to install nighties.

That sounds like OTTD to me. At least you got the file so I would check with the OTTD folks with the rest of it.

You want to do a save-target-as. Don't try and save it after you've already clicked and gotten the gunk on your screen.

Now, begone you cretins! I was trying to go for atleast six months in my thread without a response!

Shoo! All of you!

[Ben1337]

I can't find save target as. Is save link as alright?

P.s. I had done what you suggested about not left clicking on the link before you had said it.

Yeap, 'Save link as' could be considered equivelant. Give that a shot.

Oh my! He was hibernating, and now that we have woken him, we are lunch.

Quick! Distract him! Throw him some sprites!

I think that you where a bit late to say this.

Ill distract him now run.

Edit:what was wrong with my BB code?

P.S.Is this available for openttd?

[Ben1338]

I've tried some stuff while the account was broken and I had successfully installed the city stations. I think it's time to find out how to make the other stuff work that I a interested in.

Thanks for helping me.

Bye for now

Hi,

how about adding an additional tile to the City Stations set so that the following station becomes possible?

MyStation.png (17.2 KiB) Viewed 4083 times

For that a tile like 'Station Building' is needed, but with a track underneath it, as designed in the picture, I call it 'Raised Station Hall'.

I already like the City Stations set very much, even without the 'missing' tile.

[The Irish]

Nice topic digging. I think that request is slightly out of place, considering that the last post prior to yours is from 2007.

[Born Acorn]

I would disagree. Always reply to an existing thread rather than create a new one.
