About r13220_ReducedIndustry-V01:
This is my first mod, still beta. The mod reduce/change amount of industry placed by game generator on the start of the game.
It is not depending on size of map, it only depends on industry amount settings. In this beta it is:

Industry setting (shortcut IS) can be 1,2,3 or 4 (verylow,low,medium,high).

For every type of primary Industry would be calculated amount:
33% chance ... IS
33% chance ... random from IS to IS*2
33% chance ... random from IS*2 to IS*4

For every type of secondary Industry would be calculated amount:
75% chance ... IS
25% chance ... IS*2

PS: When have someone any idea how to change that or improve, let me know here .

Hi.

I arranged a similar patch pack for me as well. I included YAPP and Infrastructure Sharing (from viewtopic.php?p=688782#p688782 to include the "move player" patch). The game runs quite well, but I can't open the replace vehicles dialog. On trying to open it OpenTTD client crashes. The server keeps working. Does your patch pack have the same problem?

The server was compiled with GNU make on Debian Testing x86 the client was compiled with VS2008 Pro.

Kind regards

Yes...i discover the same problem. I try tomorrow standalone Infrastructure Sharing on clean trunk and i try.
Somethimes the game crash, sometimes the vehicle is not replaced, and somethime is replaced, but not appears in list in replace vehicle dialog. But all others seem ok to this time.

[Gedemon]

could you try with depot sharing turned off and report, please ?

Yes... but now i am at work. When i return home (about 22:00 GMT) i can test it:

X) EMPM v0.3 patch pack with r13014 and sharing depods OM (already tested, problem found)
1) EMPM v0.3 patch pack with r13014 and sharing depods OFF
2) EMPM v0.3 patch pack with r13014 and complette sharing OFF
3) standalone Sharing patch with r13015 and sharing depods ON
4) standalone Sharing patch with r13015 and sharing depods OFF
5) standalone Sharing patch with r13015 and complette sharing OFF
I hope we find that. Of course i try to make "debug" not "release" so i can watch crash/problems in VS2008.

Hi.

I just built a clean trunk version (13025) and a version including the sharing patch (13024 + patch for 12983) in VS2008. BOTH versions have the problem. Maybe it's not about the patch but about a problem with the VS2008 build. I'll test it with a VS2005 build.

Kind regards

...Maybe it's not about the patch but about a problem with the VS2008 build. I'll test it with a VS2005 build...

True, so there can be problems in VS2008 project file, or there is some bigger change in svn r13015 and above, which need codechanges in "shared" patch, which must make its author i think.

Hi.

I just checked with VS2005. Again I compiled a clean trunk version (13025) and a trunk version with the patch (trunk 13024 + patch for 12983). I still have the problem. I even created a blank openttd.cfg to start with all default settings but the problem still occurs in both versions.

I've configured VS2005 and VS2008 according to the tutorials in the wiki. But I use Visual Studio 2005/2008 Professional instead of the C++ Express editions. I really have no idea what's the problem. There are many Windows builds around the forum that include patches. Is none of them compiled with Visual Studio? Or do I have to set secial options in VS to compile a working version of OpenTTD?

EDIT: I modified engine.cpp. Why should vehicle lists with less than 2 entries get sorted? I attached a patch file to have a workaround for the problem.

EDIT2: The same version but compiled with BuildOTTD runs fine. It seems that Microsoft's compiler does not like the code I patched. On closing this build I get an exception. But for the moment I don't really care.

Kind regards
