JGR's Patch Pack

[Auge]

Hello JGR

I started to translate the strings for a few patches to german language. First one was the zoning toolbar, followed by additional infos in the vehicle window and the group window.

Most of the patches in your pack was developed by other people. Otherwise your pack is the simplest way (for me) to contribute. Are you interested in the translation(s)?

Yes, I'd be very happy to merge any translations.

Edit: I've gone ahead and merged your translations so far, they're in v0.7.1, many thanks .

Perfect.

Look!! next version please !!!

This looks quite interesting, and I've had a quick skim through the code.
I'd be inclined to wait a bit for bugs to be shaken out and issues with the code resolved before considering merging it though.
I'll keep an eye on it in future.

I find the graphics on that to be a little bit too bright and hard on the eyes compared to the defaults. So eeeh.

It's just the custom NewGRF sprites that Vetteman06 created. If you don't activate it then it will use the default OpenGFX sprites.

Can't wait to have this pushed to a stable OpenTTD version. Lots of these patches are exactly what I've been waiting for and weeped about dying out. Thanks for all the efforts.

Patch packs typically are not based on stable OpenTTD versions, but nightly revisions that contain the newest features and bug fixes.

Thanks for the patchpack

If anyone cares, I have compiled a binary for OS X 10.4+ (PowerPC only) http://a.pomf.hummingbird.moe/yoasex.dmg

Haven't looked at the forum for a while, the bits I've skimmed through look good

Is there a list of the things that are planned to be included in the latest update?

Really good so far!

Generally, commits will appear on Github as and when they're implemented. I don't have a plan for what will go in any particular release, it depends how development goes and what bugs I find.
When a release is done the first post will be updated with what's changed.

First off, many thanks JGR for creating this patch pack - i've been playing a game with it for several months now and have been thoroughly enjoying it!

I'm coming up against a small issue with automated timetabling and separation however. For the most part, it works pretty well, but on high-frequency routes with many stops and long distances, trains can sometimes bunch up. They will then wait at the station as they're running early, causing a tailback of trains entering the station. This then compounds the problem as trains update their timetable with the new, delayed, time it took for them to enter the station which causes them to wait at the station as they're running early and so on and so forth.

At the moment, i'm manually fixing this by either resetting the late counter or skipping trains to the next order, but at the moment i'm spending most of my time moving around the network doing this. I've tried adjusting the "Auto timetable vehicle separation factor" to compensate, but even all the way down at 5% i'll often see trains that are running early with 30-50% of their overall timetable duration as the early time.

Any suggestions on how to work around this?

Thanks again

Looks like you need to check out the source using a revision control system and/or install such tools at your system. "rev.cpp" is generated using information from the checked out source using the revision control tools. (I think JGR uses git.)

You'll need at least a little slack in the timetable for auto timetables to work effectively.
If you've got multiple order groups running through a congested single platform this makes the problem worse, as different routes end up delaying each other.
When I first started using auto timetables on a busy game I ended up building more platforms at the busiest stations.

If you're running the route at maximum capacity already you might be better off turning auto-timetables off for that route as trains will be spread out anyway by the bottlenecks.

...

Can you check that your source directory matches the repository including the files outside the src/ directory, in particular .ottdrev-vc and findversion.sh. If in doubt please clone the git repository.

I've tried massively increasing capacity as well as turning off automated timetabling for certain train groups, but to no avail - they still seem to bunch up and become very early.

Interestingly, if I toggle automatic separation off in the options, wait ~30s and then turn it on again, the game crashes. I've posted the crash information at http://pastebin.com/E2BjhEzw if that's any help.
