I've got a question... Why does town screen show 0 energy supplied while I'm transporting coal to the power station? Is it because of long distance between town and power station?

BTW +160 trucks

It shows 0 because there's a bug that prevents the power from being displayed/counted... I already noticed it myself a few days ago.
Power is not vital, but (when it works) it quadruples the towngrowth.

Nice truck system... I personally prefer trains, with a truck distribution for the last bit to spread out delivery.

i just tried your spinoff and its great!
Here's a screenie from my game 64x64 2 towns and lots of industry and ofcourse wery small space so everything looks like spageti junction

thgergo, very nice job, I like it!

About my truck system, I did it because of small (64x64) map size.
Now I'll make big ship network on 128x128
Then I'll do train stuff on 512x512, I think

thgergo · Post by **thgergo** » 13 Jun 2005 21:19

There is my road network with few trains

edit: Over 300+100 trucks...

uhm guys, I love what you're doing with the small maps, but you won't be able to finish the challenge like that since the maximum town size is 15000 people. (I did that so that you will be forced to build more than just one distribution network)

I'll think about coding a check in the game so that it will always be (theoretically) possible to finish the challenge. Maybe raising the maximum town size if there aren't enough towns, or something.

can you please submit this to the nightlies if possible. I want to see it in the normal version also. It is really annoying to have that.

Toy vans looks like inverted food vans

This is a little modification than the original goods van...
And here is a screenshot with different company colors:
gray, white, and red

That's only one line of code, but to use it in the main ottd trunk would need more work, since it has to be an option there. you could post it in the suggestions forum, maybe someone else would do that. (fyi, the statue and fountain are house index 9 & 10)

If this is the only graphic I get for the toy van I will use it, but it's a bit boring when used next to the food and goods vans... Can't you think up something which looks different? like with the chemical truck?

also: is the shading correct? the \ and / views look identical, as if they're only flipped... (the same holds for the chemical trucks)

is anyone still playing this?

It would be cool if the graphics were finished more though!

I'm still playing it and think its great. I've failed to win because I keep restarting when I think of a new way of approaching the game. I'm always amazed that more people don't download this and give it a shot, it really is a lot of fun and adds a real challenge to the open TD game.

OMG! a version with a mission objective!

have you seen my post in sugestions about mission objectives?

Edit: Bug!

if you use the "Allow constructing raw material producing industries" patch, then the industry names are incorrect.

instead of Oil refinary, Factory, Metal Foundry, Jewellery, Paper mill and Food processing Plant, the options are: Powerplant(which was missing anyway), Sawmill(There is none in this game) Oil Refinary, Factory, Metal Foundry.

theres also Coal Mine, Forrest, Oil Rig, Farm, Oil Wells, Iron Ore mine. all new ones are missing. and they are not even what the button says they are.

correct, you are not supposed to use the "Allow constructing raw material producing industries" patch in the spinoff. just build a bigger network!

and no I haven't seen your post about mission objectives, this spinoff has been in existence for months (in various versions)

In a next version I'll disable the use of that patch so that it's fixed

(and the powerplant is not missing, you're just looking in the wrong place... try the town authority!)

oh and thank you all for playing the spinoff

I still have to try it out. Its revolting! So little time, so many games to play. It was easier when I didn't have a job.
Soon I'm going on a little ferry trip to an island not far away. That should give me a couple of hours with my laptop where I'm going to play.

I can't wait to try it, it looks awesome so far.
