OpenTTD 1.9.0-RC1 released

[jfs]

I don't use sound in OpenTTD at all (got my own Jazz Jukebox, thank you, and the SFX is a nuisance), so do I really need Fluidsynth? And are the installation instructions correct in pointing me to a /data dir in .openttd?

If you don't want music, you can compile without Fluidsynth. You can also disable the extmidi driver with --disable-midi flag to configure and get only the "null" music driver.

Sure, I can probably do that. I'm wondering, however, if all the n00buntu lusers will think it's a good idea to install an obsolete version of FluidSynth to get OpenTTD going. I just grabbed the opengfx-r1070.zip, extracted it, and moved the files to the new dir ~/.openttd/data - of which I still am very unsure if it's correct. My other GFXes are in the ~/.openttd/content_download/baseset directory and that looks all different:

My Settings still show an older version of OpenGFX:

Edit: I checked if I had a distro version of OpenGFX installed, and it was there:

Code: Select all

I unmerged it and restarted OpenTTD, but it's still showing the same old OpenGFX version. But now I'm at least able to select the NoSound sound set.

I finally managed to get r1070 working, by removing all the old OpenGFX files from ~/.openttd/content_download/baseset, and moving the r1070 files to ~/.openttd/baseset. Now there's 36 sprites missing:

I checked online content and selected upgrades, and it installed OpenGFX 0.5.2 for me. Nice

Yeah, there was definitely something wrong with the Jenkins job that did the build: https://jenkins.openttdcoop.org/job/opengfx/204/
In the log, there is a mention of the changeset 05c5f8a96c4d which is quite an old one.

It turns out that the branch 'default' has two heads: 6f74041189f2 (which is the 'good' one) and 05c5f8a96c4d (tagged with 'nml2nfo'). The Jenkins job probably took the wrong head for the build.

Indeed... something strange happened for the automatically triggered build. Thanks for the notifications. It's probably related to moving the sources to github. For now I triggered a manual build of the latest version, now found at http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/opengfx/ ... es/LATEST/

Thanks. Downloaded, extracted opengfx-v7007.tar and put into ~/.openttd/content_download/baseset. Seems to work OK, still missing 1 sprite, though.

Yep, that's what I noted as well. I need to figure out which is still missing. Do you (or anyone else) know by heart which one is missing?

The remaining 3 are not in their correct places:

Checking extra-openttd-gui.pnml:

Code: Select all

replacenew ottd_gui176(OTTD_GUI, "", 176) {
	[   0,  0,  20,  20,   0,   0, "sprites/png/gui/group_liveries.png"]         // train group livery icon
	[   22,  0,  20,  20,   0,   0, "sprites/png/gui/group_liveries.png"]         // road vehicle group livery icon
	[   44,   0,  10,  10,   0,   0, "sprites/png/gui/group_liveries.png"]         // boat group livery icon
	[   66,   0,  10,  10,   0,   0, "sprites/png/gui/group_liveries.png"]         // aircraft group livery icon
}

I have no knowledge of NML whatsoever, but are the heights and widths of the boat and aircraft icons really 10? I think those should be 20.

Also, the Jenkins build job has the following warning:

Code: Select all

nmlc warning: "sprites/extra/extra-openttd-gui.pnml", line 316: Exceeding the limit of 175 sprites for sprite replacement type 'OTTD_GUI', extra sprites may be ignored

Based on all of this, I created a patch file:

extra-openttd-gui.pnml.patch

DISCLAIMER: I have not been able to try this patch at all Setting up the environment to compile OpenGFX is taking a bit longer. So make sure you try it if it works!

EDIT: Finally got the build environment working in the meantime. Seems to be working fine for me, no missing sprites!

[Gwyd]

Since I wrote that bit of the file, I know for a fact the boat bit should be 20*20, my mistake there. Not sure about the start of that block, perhaps it should be 175, seeing how the train sprite is missing.

Indeed it looks fine. I applied the patch and committed it to the repo.

It has been included in OpenGFX 0.5.5 which now is also conveniently available from ingame content download bananas.
