redFISH 0.3 (released on 2014/7/29)


From readme.txt ;

This is a fork from andythenorth's FISH NewGRF. It was created to adjust ship capacities in order to allow ships to seriously compete with other modes of transportation. Cargo capacities of most freighters are quadrupled and have their running costs and buy costs adjusted accordingly.

Changed ships;
Whitgift Freight Barge
Saint Marie Barge Tug
Geneva Freight Barge
Pine Island Log Tug
Meteor Freighter
Little Cumbrea Freighter
Shark Island Livestock Ship
Marstein Freighter
Altamira Freighter
Eddystone Tanker
Dieze Container Barge
Cadiz Freighter
Constance Freight Barge
Nieuwpoort Freighter
Hopetown Tanker
Frisco Bay Freighter
Grindavik Reefer
Santorini Freighter
Maspalomos Freighter

Nearly all the work has been done by andythenorth et al, that's where redFISH is forked from.

Good idea with increased capacity (it is boring to spam map with ships and still have 4kt coal waiting).
Some remarks about barges:
1. in original Fish set, small freight barge has 50t, and barge tug has 200t, here both have almost same capacity and running costs.
I propose to decrease small freight barge capacity, price and running costs, it is sometimes convenient to have such small unit.
2. Barges have same speed regardless if on ocean or canal/river.
It makes barges obsolete if compared with ships (Geneva barge vs Grizensee or Meteor freighter).
Is it possible to make speed higher for river than ocean in case of barges?

Version 0.4

Playing with JGR Patch Pack 0.27.1, and I've found a significant bug with the Mount Blaze Fast Ferry. That is, it's not fast at all. In fact, it crawls at an almost still pace. Also, it has smoke coming out of the top of it, as does the Enoshima Fast Ferry and the Thunder Bay Hovercraft ,and I don't think they were meant to. The Capo Sandallo Ferry has smoke stacks on the rear, but the smoke emits from the middle of the ship.

bug with the Mount Blaze Fast Ferry.

that s what happens when ships have max speed over 127kmh, this ship max speed is 128km/h

the bug happens only when traveling in some direction, not all of them, and i believe it was present in the FISH or SQUID version that had that very same ships.

How to fix that, is rather trivial for the players : set a max speed limit of 127kmh in the timetable (hold ctrl while clicking on speed limits to add it to every orders)

edit... nvm squid ate fish in the end and fixed it all

redFISH is no longer being actively developed, so its best to move to Squid.
