Tinkering with the source...

Greetings!

Ever since Transport Tycoon Deluxe has been released, some things, that were different from Transport Tycoon Original, bothered me quite much.
And in every TTD I try and change them.
I've played and liked TTO very much and just want to create the same "ambience" in TTD.
And since I'm more of a tweaker than a programmer, I have some things to inquire about.

Thing that I've changed:________________________________Status:
-All vehicle names/commentaries
change to TTO like - English______________________________DONE
(english.txt/lng)
-Leyland Leopard Bus speed
changed to 96km/h_____________________________________DONE
(roadveh_cmd.c)
-Bridge speeds of gold Suspension Bridge,
Cantilever Bridge and Tubular Bridge increased
in order not to slow down TGV/Maglevs._____________________DONE
(tunnelbridge_cmd.c)
-Locomotive's speed/power change - like in TTO
or in real life, e.g. power of T.G.V. is now 13600hp and
not 7000..._____________________________________________DONE
(engines.h -->in TABLES)
-Industry production increase to the levels
of TTO___________________________________________KINDA DONE
(in buildindustry.h)

At the end I settled for a 34.8% change of all production rates of all industries (or multiply them with 1.538), e.g. coal mine before - 8x/9x 15 = 120/135 - changed: 8x/9x 23 = 184/207 -- in TTO 12x/13x/14x 15 = 180/195/210 tonnes of coal.
This is all fine, but how could I change the multipliers to 12/13/14 instead of prod. rates?
There are two values - production rate [0] * 8 and production rate [1] * 8 in the file industry_cmd.c. I changed them to 12 and it worked only for the newly built industry in scenarion editor or at the start of new game.
In "February 1st 1950" productions of all industries return to "normal" 8/9x system.
I think these multipliers aren't fixed and are dependent on game-tick duration - so how to modify this dependency of industries on the tick?

You can check out all the changes - you have to have OpenTTD 0.2.1 installed, then just download http://www.geocities.com/sirkozus/openttd2.zip. Just unpack my ttd.exe and english.lng in you OpenTTD 0.2.1 dir, replacing the original files...

Thank you in advance for your explanations.

P.S.: Does anyone of you (developers) know how to change station ratings to be more equal to those of AI players?

The next release will feature two additional bridges with higher maximum speeds for Monorails and Maglevs.

Excellent!

[Gustav]

hmm, can you change the amount of vehicles too? I think that's also more a tweak thing than a programming thing... I tried to find it somewhere but I couldn't...

[SirkoZ]

Do you mean amount of all vehicles in game? I suppose it can be changed, I haven't looked for that one yet...
Now I'm more interested in changing industry production algorithm...

[dominik81]

The maximum amount of vehicles will be changeable through the Config file in the next release.

[SirkoZ]

It's getting better and better.

Any idea about industries, any pointers?

any screens?

any screens?

What about TTO style monorail bridges?

Have a screenshot?

[hovering teacup]

for the TTO graphics, you can find them in a original grf file (trgi.grf or trhcom.grf I believe) included in the DOS TTD.

They are pretty simple. It's just the track, that continues into the air. It doesn't even have pylons, so it's just a line trough the air

[George]

It would be nice to have different ramps graphics (enterance parts) for different bridges

Can Ludde add a new climate TTO style with original graphics and settings?

Can Ludde add a new climate TTO style with original graphics and settings?

everything is possible, but it it worth it?
It would take some time, which could be spend on making other features
