[Patch] Daylength, Cargodist with sprinkles

[Vaulter]

Merged for 1.0.0
Thanks for such cool stuff!

[Zero]

Here's an updated build to stabilize the road code, as well as an updated autosep (make it 0.72 now).

Download: openttd-cargodist-minipack-r19527M-win32.zip (.pdb.gz, .patch, .svn.patch, .log).

Crash reports / feedback:
Please report any and all crashes from this build in this thread, unless you can also reproduce them in a nightly or cargodist/autosep build.

It's a good idea to also post the crash.* files that OpenTTD produces, along with any relevant information relating to the crash (such as a recent savegame and a description of the circumstances of the crash).

I got a crash. Files are attached.
Situation was:
I had a bus line operating in a town. I built two truck stations for mail, one attached to a bus station, the other as a seperate station. I built a truck and created the orders for the truck and when I pressed "go" the game crashed.

Just a little hint to folks playing this patchpack-

Remember to set the frequency of linkgraph update proportionally to the daylength factor. Default is 15, so if you use a 2X daylength factor, make it 7 or 8, for 3x make it 5, 4x make it 3, etc. Otherwise it takes forever for the linkgraph to decide where the cargo should go.

Thanks for the tip, but you shouldn't change it in a running game because it crashes if you do so. (at least for me)

It should not crash. At least not with the lastest version of cargodist. Is there anything special I have to do to reproduce the crash? If so can I get a savegame?

Here it is:
The game ran fine until I changed the "link graph recalculation interval" from 16 to 8 days. It crashes a few days (I assume 8 ) after changing it.

Ditto for me- thanks for posting the crash info- I hadn't gotten around to it.

Looks it is not cargodist problem, but problem with long v4 set. I think problem appeared with involving improved acceleration for road vehicles into trunk. Probably that caused for some lv4 set cars (Ford model T) have tractive effort equal to 0, after atomatic calculation.

than tractive effort = 0

sorry for my bad english

I dont know if this right place for such bug...
Monolev set started to behave strange with r19527. In the previous versions everything was ok.
I tried older versions of monolev set but is the same problem. It doesn't let to build monorail and maglev trains on their tracks, but instead it lets build them just on normal tracks.

The patch is outdated. In the latest version of cargodist this doesn't happen anymore.

Allright thanks!

Because of my inability to compile I hope somebody has mercy and makes a new win32 built of this awesome patchpack.

[DJ Nekkid]

if there is any interest, I can start a server with this patchpack and see how (un)stable it is... As Cargod*st is my favorite patch... Dont think i've played more then 15mins without it the last ... year or something

[DJ Nekkid]

server added at 83.243.128.249 with r19527.

Grfs:
Some from the opencoop pack, bananas and theese two:
2ccset
NuTracks

from http://bundles.openttdcoop.org


edit;
not online _quite_ yet, but will be shortly

edit2:
Should be online now

[DJ Nekkid]

and SORRY for trippleposting but;

in the current online game posted above, the first year there were 2 trains running for about 10 months, and a 3rd one for like 5...

they had a running cost of about 30k/year...
when the year were done the running costs for trains were aprox 13k.
daylength settings were set to 5...

some simple math:
30k*2 = 60
60/2 = 12 ...

give or take some on the dates, the running costs are pretty much spot on 1/5th of what the _normal_ running cost is (per year)...

[Kogut]

Yes, it is really funny with 255 multiplier, that means free trains. But anyway moneymaking in openttd isn't challenge.

[DJ Nekkid]

with 2ccset and nutracks it actually is... ... or should be

Correct, this was reproducible in vanilla trunk. I've reported it as FS#3751 for Terkhen to fix.

Here it is:
The game ran fine until I changed the "link graph recalculation interval" from 16 to 8 days. It crashes a few days (I assume 8 ) after changing it.

The patch is outdated. In the latest version of cargodist this doesn't happen anymore.

I hope the soon-to-be-here updated build including the latest version of cargodist fixes this, then.

Indeed, this is behaves strangely in vanilla r19527, but I believe this was fixed in trunk, and my new build should work correctly.

give or take some on the dates, the running costs are pretty much spot on 1/5th of what the _normal_ running cost is (per year)...

Not quite. For daylength factors of 1, 2 and 3, the running costs behave correctly. However, with a daylength factor of 4 (DAY_TICKS = 296), the value of Vehicle::running_ticks will overflow, and thence running costs will be completely wrong. Fixing this is non-trivial, but I believe there have been attempts at this earlier as well.

Here's an updated build to bump us along trunk, as well as sync up with the refactoring and desyncing fixes in cargodist.

Additionally, I'm pleased to announce the availability of a public Git repository for my OpenTTD development efforts, found at the following URLs:


gitweb: http://git.qmsk.net/?p=openttd
clone: git://git.qmsk.net/openttd


Additionally, to keep things entertaining, there is no "master" branch, and no valid HEAD - I'll fix this once I've found it amusing enough The interesting branch for most purposes is called cargodist-sprinkles.

And additionally additionally, the builds have now been officially renamed to "openttd-cargodist-sprinkles". The content is still the same, though.

Download: openttd-cargodist-sprinkles-r19596M-win32.zip (.pdb.gz, .patch, .svn.patch, .log).

The win32 .zip and git .patch are also attached.

Savegame compatibility:
This build should be able to load games saved by all previous official OpenTTD versions, as well as the matching vanilla cargodist build.

Crash reports / feedback:
Please report any and all crashes from this build in this thread, unless you can also reproduce them in a nightly or cargodist/autosep build.

It's a good idea to also post the crash.* files that OpenTTD produces, along with any relevant information relating to the crash (such as a recent savegame and a description of the circumstances of the crash).

Additionally, comments or suggestions as to the behavior of the auto-separation patch should go into the Automated timetables and separation topic.

I'll update my server tomorrow, as im 20mins away from going to a gig tonight

It is nice to get working sorting, thanks!
