Well, I'm only going to allow the crane to span two tiles wide anyway, anything else is too much of a prick to code. Mind you, dimensions and proportions are skewed enough in TTD as it is.

That's my final word, split hairs all you want, I'll just ignore you .

There's no reason to argue if it's only going to span two tiles. AndersI probably posted because in your picture, it spans three tiles.

Still don't see any reason why it shouldn't be able to, I'm quite sure I've seen a container crane of that size before. Unfortunatly, unless we get someone who works with the stuff first-hand, who can tell us what sort of tollerances and sizes these beasts get to in real life, or I can find proof of what I've thought all along, then it doesn't count for much

Here is a crane that would do the job with arms extending out over a track at either end while the product is stocked in the area covered between the supports.

Ahh, that could quite possibly work for my set, thanks for that, wallyweb!

You are most welcome good sir.

The animation sequence is as follows ... Oh! ... "(Stationary objects only)" ... I thought you meant staionery as in paper stuff ... my bad ... Not!

Sorry! I couldn't resist a good pun.

NABS release is not far off... Finally implemented most of the core functionality and extra bits and pieces I was postponing the release because of.

Mainly, minimum lifespan for buildings. Tis now implemented.

I may or may not decide to document it at a later date.

I might just decide to go to be now, though, and not tell you all any more

I am told that this is the topic to discuss (among other) the North American Building Set. Could anybody tell me how to use it exactly (which parameters if they are there, which settings, which OTTD version etc), or where I could find a kind of manual? I've tried to load the grf-file, but only in the Arctic climate I see a few different buildings (I think, I not totally sure they are different from the standard OTTD buildings ...) Or is only an arctic set

?

... NABS ...

Bug Report : NABS [beta 23-Dec-2006] crashes the game in OpenTTD nightlies when a station is being built in a temperate game in a town that has NABS houses (as soon as the coverage area of the house reaches a house in question). The problem is with NABS and not the game.

Reason : There are buildings (houses) that copy default house properties of house IDs from the sub-tropical climate. These house IDs accept originally food, but if there aren't any food industries available in the game (like in a temperate climate game) the game crashes, because house property 0F (Good/Food/Fizzy drinks acceptance) was just copied and not re-specified.

Just to make sure I fixed some of them as follows (there are no longer any problems with the copy of NABS I have) :

Code: Select all

   9 * 21	 00 07 07 01 00 08 2E 09 01 0A 0A FF 13 07 38 19 02 0F 00 1D 04
                                                                ^^^^^
   10 * 6	 07 83 01 03 01 01

   11 * 7	 00 07 01 01 00 0F FE
                            ^^^^^

The following house IDs are affected : 00h and 01h that copy default properties from original house ID 2Eh, but there may be more.

This should be fixed before the set is released publicly.

Sub tropical? What in hell?

I'll have a look at this during my complete re-code...

I have to implement food acceptance properly anyway for a lot of buildings...

Does it work properly in TTDPatch? If so it's an OpenTTD bug...

Aye, they're coded as sub-arctic building equivelants, and it works fine in TTDPatch... Generally I'm always tempted to say 'lul fukof ottd noob', but, eh, I'm going for that whole 'civilized behavior' thing.

Yes, it does work in TTDPatch; it's that thing about 'text string not found' we discussed earlier here.

Thanks for posting the full details, OzTransLtd. Far more effective than me just whining that it doesn't work in my temperate games

I downloaded the NABS but it doesn't replace any buildings. I don't know if there is any incompatibility of this set with others I use; I've attached my newgrfw.cfg and ttdpatch.cfg files.
I am using patch 2.6.1576 but the set also does not work with 2.5b9.

Or is NABS not yet released in its final form? I downloaded it from the link provided in the first post in this thread (Aegir)

The only grf that could interfere with it, ttrs3, I see has been commented out so it may simply be that you should let the game run on for a few years. What year are you at?

Deblaauwn · Post by **Deblaauwn** » 16 Jun 2007 15:43

ttrs3 is not used, as you have seen. My game started in 1930, it's now about 1980, temperate climate.

After you load your game, go into the grf status window and make sure the flag for NABS is green and not red. Also check to make sure there are no conflicts.

Deblaauwn · Post by **Deblaauwn** » 16 Jun 2007 17:24

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/...)
