Can´t build maglev and monorail in temperate

Post by MarkKoten »

Hi guys,

I´ve spent the last couple of days browsing through all openttd forums trying to find some info.

I play OpenTTD 0.6.3. and I can´t build maglev or monorail in temperate, even if I reach the year which is required to do so.

Where could be the problem?

Thanks!

Did you already find the railtype menu? https://wiki.openttd.org/Types_of_railway

Yeah, I did. I´m not that stupid :D The option of maglev and monorail is like colored in gray and I´m not able to choose it. However, I´m able to build them in the desert, not in temperate.

You wouldn't be the first :)

You don't have any NewGRF activated (most likely candidates for problems are train GRFs)? Then you should be able to get them.
OpenTTD delays arrival of new trains by some random interval, so don't try 1999, but 2005 or so for monorail, and not 2021 but eg 2030 or so for maglev.

the default vehicles should include monorial and maglev stuff, even back in the 0.6.3 days.

If your using any newgrfs, its possible that your trainset(s) dont include maglev or monorail trains.

Why are you even using 0.6.3? The modern versions like 1.7.1 are more up to date, better features and are still available on many different systems. And if its about peformance issues with older hardware, the latest versions should still run on old hardware if you turn off animations and details.

To be honest I love the graphics :D And I have this version for years. I tried to get newer version but fakely named planes pissed me off, so I kept playing this version since.

And being honest for the second time in this post, I´m totally lost in that GRFs things :D I´ve never done anything with it...

Type

Code: Select all

set scenario_developer 1
In the console, and then remove that newgrf in game.

I suggest you do NOT do this. It will break your running game. (But not the OpenTTD installation itself)

Absolutely DO NOT do this, unless you're willing to eventually abandon the game. Even if it doesn't immediately break something, there is a high chance that something did break, and you may not see it until very deep into your game. My favorite game of all time was destroyed 40 game years in when all the sudden certain vehicles would try to enter a lorry station and would just stop running, right on the tile boundary, blocking any other vehicles from entering and exiting. I couldn't remove the vehicles or the tiles they sat on. Instant, permanent gridlock.

It's depends on what kind of grf will you remove.
For example if you want to remove a vehicle grf, you must send all the vehicles that modified by that grf to depot, and then sell all of them, then do the remove action.

I doubt it's that simple. Even if the game seem to work fine for the moment, things could be broken behind the scenes, and the broken part of the game could come to the surface when you least expect it.
I highly discourage you to ever altering the NewGRF used in the game unless you really are fine with the game breaking before you're ready to call it finished.

That won't work very well. The vehicles currently driving around is just a small subset of what the vehicle grf provides. It also contains models that were available before, and models that will be available in the future. These things are also stored in game data structures, and you cannot "sell" them so they disappear.

One thing I forgot, is if the vehicle grf replaced the default vehicle, and you removed that, then there would be no vehicles available and you just have to wait for bankrupt.
