Alrighty.
Thanks for the quick reply. Was hoping to use some of those custom bridgeheads with rails. Would simplify some of my track layouts considerable. Anyhoop, good luck with the bug hunting

I was just about to say something about the waypoints. I wasn't sure if it had to do with my experimental railtype grf, good to know it's not my fault.
Thanks for your continued work on this patchpack, it just keeps getting better

Just experienced a server crash with 4 people, not sure what happened but here's the log, save and screenshot.

Hey JGR, thanks for fixing the GUI misalignment, but now there's another problem...
[+] Spoiler
Now the columns are aligned with each other, but not aligned with the cursor. In the screenshot is the location of my cursor which selects the currently-highlighted order. This occurs on OpenGFX BigGUI setting 1.5x or higher.

Using Wine produced some odd performance behaviour but the cause was not obvious and I wasn't able to debug anything in that environment.
Wasn't there a mouse cursor bug in Windows 10 that was related to changes in how the OS handles mouse cursors?
Licenses for my work... Please ask someone in-the-know to be sure that the graphics are done by me. Especially TTD-Scale , long story.

That was solved before OpenTTD 1.8 got released. If it wasn't broken
again , it should not be the source of the problem.

Now all we need is Bridges Action 0 Property 14 GUI Menu icon (I need to add this to the specifications) and increase bridge IDs from 13 to 16, both of which are in cirdan's NMF.

I tried AdmiralAI in the most recent release and it successfully built rail stations, but failed to build any other rail track.
This is probably another side effect of the increase in trunk to 64 rail types.
I'll look into it, thanks for reporting it.
Edit: Fixed, it was indeed that. Submitting upstream...

These seem simple enough, I'll look into them.
Edit: I just cherry-picked Cirdan's commits, I presume that they'll work fine as is.

Specifications for the three extra bridge IDs as well as property 14 Menu icon have been added to the
NewGRF Specification Action0 Bridges .

Just curious ...
The
list of variables for stations describes 42 as "Terrain and track type". How would this be used with property 1B bridges over stations?

The fence looks to be part of the station tile, and it was probably not coded with bridges in mind.
It may be more pragmatic to use a different station tile type for the tiles directly under the bridge.

Variable 42 and property 1B are two separate things.
This is in response to Michael Blunk's request:
michael blunck wrote:
The second feature request (disallow station building for certain track types) seems to be a much easier task IMO. There is already a note in the code (in newgrf_station.cpp):
Code: Select all
case 0x42: return 0; // Rail type (XXX Get current type from GUI?)
because, at that point, the railtype of the station tile to be built is already known, and could be made avalailable to CB 13 (in var10 or var18, as the station isn´t built yet).
In fact, available vars for CB13 are totally unspecified in the nfo/grf specs, and I think ATM only the current date could be used here. Now, with OTTD´s railtype feature available since years, it doesn´t make sense to have the same station graphics available for every railtype. Being able to check station availability with regards to the current railtype would be very helpful here, both for the coder and the player, in linking special stations with fitting rail types.

I'll still ask michael blunck for non-fenced platforms, might solve the problem after all...

this is most likely an issue with overlapping bounding boxes. these things are notoriously hard to "fix" as changing it for this case is probably opening an issue elsewhere.

It's probably worth changing the W to D for property 14, as it expects 4 bytes not 2.
