Will this also be usable with the "bridge over diagonal track" i've seen in a different post

Sorry for posting this, but how do you put a .diff file into openttd? Couldn't find it anywhere.

Well you download the source for the version described in the diff file, you apply it by using a program called diff. Recompile, and then you have your patch merged. (general walkthru, havent done this personally)

Even though im OpenTTD all the way, i can forsee an oncoming flood of people over here as all these features get added to the trunk:

Such as; diagonal track under bridges, one way roads etc

The program is not called diff

. You use patch in linux, and I think TortoiseSVN has something to do it for doze.

this is just sooo beautiful!

When we start to build like this, the whole set up looks so neat!

under linux you use diff to create them (or svn diff) and then patch to apply them

Here is the current version of custom bridge heads. It is Officially Bugfree™

when will it be in the SVN/nightly source?

SirkoZ · Post by **SirkoZ** » 28 Oct 2005 13:38

It just might make into the Integrated nightly build faster.

Semi-Off-topic-Question:

Some time in July Peter1138 posted some stuff about working on a bridge over diagonals patch... I don't think this patch ever got finished because I can't imagine that something like this wouldn't turn up right away when I search the forums... and I haven't been able to find it.

So... I would like to know if Peter1138 is still working on this patch... or if it turned out not to be do-able. Bridging over diagonals happens to be number one on my "I wish I could do that list"... even though 99% of the time you COULD just use a tunnel... I have an irrational preference for bridges as opposed to tunnels.

Anyway... THIS particular patch is pretty darn neat itself... but in order to apply it I'll have to figure out how apply patches... at least there are partial explanations posted now. (I'll whine about how I don't understand them in more appropriate threads)

The patch was almost but not quite finished (depending on how you define "finished"). If you want you can grab the diff from petter1138's website. It probably wont work with recent SVN revisions.

I think the verdict was that it is doable but would require some serious modifications to the game that would just be removed again when the new map array is implemented. I don't know if peter1138 is still working on this patch.

One diff to create them all and in the darkness merge them

it look to makes years I heard about this famous "new map array" ?
many good thing have been postponed because of that.

what is the status of this "new map array" ? is it near from end ? how to track it ? is anybody know ?

back to the topic ? what about custom bridge heads in SVN/trunk ???
thank you.

Well it is closer to the end than it has ever been, but so far it has really yet to be started. It was attempted before, but the changes made meant that it was impossible to merge it back to the main branch, so it was dropped.

This time around things are being done differently. Firstly everything will be done in the main branch (or if it is in a seperate branch the changes will be merged back often). Also so that not too much has to be changed a lot of helper functions are being put in so that the current array is only accessed in a few changes which will make it a lot easier to replace.

Currently we are at the stage of implementing the helper functions and replacing code, which is near enough finished. Whenever autoreplace has had all the bugs squished there is due to be a (long awaited) replace, after which time the work on the new map array will probably start. During this time if there is no seperate branch it is quite likely that things will break more often, so I dunno whether nightlies are going to downgraded to weeklies, or turned off altogether. There again the devs may just be given a fresh supply of Jolt! Cola so that they don't need to sleep.

If anyone feels like helping out then drop in sometime in the evening (Europe time).
