Yet Another Patch Pack based on YACD

[DC-1]

Hi there,

Tried the last RC and a couple issues:
1. Could you change the color of the minimap? Adv settings | Interface | Display options |
Land color... doesn't distinguish Green and Dark green.
2. Land contours in the minimap don't match contours in the main map. Regarding heights.
3. Too much water... Sea level setting?

These are come from the moreheightlevel patch.

And for every player who asked for moreheightlevel - voila!

Yay, awesome!

Hi, great patch pack!! But I encounter one very big problem when timetabling: I can't set any start time anymore. When clicking on that button the dialog window appears, I type a four digit number, press Enter and then it crashes... This makes me very sad, because this ruins the great experience.

Wow, thanx for bugreporting! I'll look at.

Edit: I can't reproduce it. Please attach a savegame and tell me which vehicle do the crash!

Well, I dunno if this can be reproduces in another game or if its my save (lots of grfs).

Click on station and choose template replacement. Bang!

EDIT: Happens on new game aswell.

how big does one have to write

attach the savegame

for you to notice it?

[Trond]

It isnt alwats that there are any point in attaching a savegame. This happens in every game I start, so it probably will do for others aswell, or it is a newgrf problem...

Doesnt matter how big you write it, when it isnt needed I dont see any need to attach a savegame.

Polite however, that can always be attached!

[Trond]

If ipsirc can just open a game, click the template replacement button and experience the same, there is no need for a savegame for him to see what happens... For all I know it could be something he already fixed for next version. If thats not the case, i can easily make a savegame and send/attach if he needs it.

Edit: ups, theres a post missing between this post and my previous post... I guess the author deleted it...

There is no template replacement button in station gui. It is only available from vehicle list window, and that made the crash. Can you post a screenshot how to reproduce it? I've tried but I can't.

[Trond]

I click on the trainicon in the stationwindow so the vehiclelist for that station pops up, then I choose Template replacement from there and it crashes... I've tried it also on a new game with no grf-files and just one station and one train, and it crashes then also.

(Just in case you didnt notice from the screens I posted earlier, I'm still using RC2, but maybe I should install RC3 soon and see if ut happens there too...)

Okie, i got it, the same bug here. I've never used replace vehicles from the station gui. RC3 still crash, but i assume to use it, because the next release won't be compatible with RC2. Until fixed you can always use the template replace from the main vehicle list window.
Thanx for reporting!

[Trond]

You welcome!
I've never used the template replace at all myself, I was just gonna check it out and see how it worked, hehe I will try from vehicle list when I feel brave
I will 'upgrade' to rc3 soon.

Ehh, i've noticed the original game take care of not to display autoreplace button when call from station gui. Now template replace button is also hidden. What an easy fix.
And i have to give you a big thanx for making betatest for this patchpack on your own!

[Trond]

Excellent! And my pleasure, I love alpha/betatesting

EDIT to avoid doublepost:

Installed RC3 earlier, and there are no black edges outside my maps now, just a lot of garbage... See screenshot... This happens when I make new maps or load old ones... Missing files or something?

EDIT2: Problem solved...

Ehm, this was a common moreheightlevel bug, but i've fixed it. I've tried with random generated maps with on linux and win32 some minutes ago, but i couldn't reproduce them. It is based on flat_blacktiles.grf in data dir - did you copy? And...attach savegame, pls! :->

[Trond]

I see that file in the datadir, flat_blacktiles.grf, so it is present. This savegame I made is doing the same thing you see in the picture I posted in my previous post.

I play in win 7 pro if that matters...

[newbibob]

newbibob: Okie, that sounds a really balanced game type what you do. I'm still trying to fix leasing, i'll call a friend to help me in bugfinding soon

Thank you good sir! I'm grateful for the effort

I am testing too but so far I had only a handful of crashes, not frequent and many I couldn't isolate from grf/AI related problems. Only had 1 I could ever recreate too and it was a fixed date in-game until I went back 1 more auto save, then it was fine. It got overwritten before I thought to grab it for you.

Anywho that was a previous version and I'm in exam week at the moment so too busy to play at all but I will be updating and letting you know how it goes once I'm done with hell exams.

[Trond]

Noticed a new 'problem' (for me)... The time of the departureboard doesnt match the time for timetable... The timetable time matches the clock shown on my statusbar in the game, the departureboard doesnt...

Savegame included, but I forgot to turn of the newgrf's, so if thats a problem, I'll make a new savegame right away...

Savegame without any grf's added.

Greetings,

Firstly - it's great we can now load the games in RC3. However - we are having frequent desyncs over multiplayer. As you asked, I have attached a savegame. It was taken just after a desync, but as stated to appear to be occurring quite frequently. Aswell, I noted under InfraShare...



Where did "Stopping fee for docks" go? I guessed it must be the "Stopping fee for road vehicles" below the first one...

Thanx, it will be fixed in next release.

Yes, the 2nd line for road vehicles is for ships, just the text are wrong. It will be also fixed in next version.
And now i'm going to analyze the savegame + desync problem. (i can't promise anything )
