Daylength Patch [12/09/2008] Compatibility: r14293

[Roujin]

oops, seems I uploaded the wrong file (or rather, forgot to save my changes). In fact, a closing bracket was missing in the above .diff, that's all

Here's the fixed one.

[Trond]

Well, thanks for that one again Roujin... It compiles fine now, but it doesnt load my savegame from previous version... No biggie I guess, but just tought I'd let you know.

Error message: "EngineRenews: failed loading savegame: too many EngineRenews"

and after that this one pops up:

I guess it's time to start a new game again... *sigh*

Hi there,

this is unofficial update compatible with r132005, but withouth SL_PATCH_BASE parts, witch are used for load/save games, saved by older versions of daylenght patched game. So standard parts from svn r132005 are remaining there.

r13205-daypatch_unofficial.diff

It is update from existing update ROUJIN's daylength_r12930_fixed.diff update.

Version bump for r13374, also modified timetable interface to display hour/minute durations for extended daylength

EDIT: change to svn-diff style (actual code not modified at all)

[Tiberius]

Updated to r13691, fixed a bug that overflows competitor starting timer when saving game.

Hello,
I´ve downloaded the newest daylength-patch file above me, but I dont know what I´ve to edit to make the days longer (from original to 2x or 4x or 20x experimential). I´ve also installed the cygwin, but there is no patch-/diff.exe. There´s no readme or other help. I´m beginner in this topic, so can anybody help me? Any google-search and links are not successful until yet. I´m using OTTD 0.6.1.

PS: Like also German PMs

I would suggest save your time from learning how to compile it, just fetch and play RCPP or TibPP instead

[SVW-Gigant]

Thx This is really the easiest way to change the day length...

[Chico008]

are you still developping Daylength patch ?
can you make an update for latest trunk please ?

thanks.

Umm I was about to update this to 14173 but the tortoiseSVN says it's not diff or index is missing?

TortoiseSVN is a lame tool for applying patches because it basically only supports what it makes itself. Patches made by other tools, that are valid patches, are not supported by TortoiseSVN. To apply them you need a proper tool for applying patches.

though I might not have time to learn use another set of "proper tools" (as Tortoise SVN was recomended for this here when I first time worked with this patch.), what you would recommend to replace TortoiseSVN's patch tool? obiously I am in Windows (which many ppl think as lame OS) if that makes any difference.

EDIT: never mind... I noticed that whole settings structures have been completely re-written from scratch since this patch has last time updated and I am wayy too tired to start look around where all settings have went.

Someone still working on Daylength?

And can someone update the Topic Title to the latest available release?

[Nappe1]

I have something going on... at least fixing the autosave being every day as default.

but it is going to take a while before I post the update.

I don't suppose someone could assist me...

I'm working on Mac OS X and I'm having trouble trying to add this patch to my copy of the trunk. I have very limited knowledge of Terminal, and although I previously successfully added YAPP to a build, I'm trying to do the same with this Daylength patch and having problems. I can roll back to r13691 easily enough, and apply the patch okay. I also have no trouble in updating my version to r14004 and compiling, but after I use the "make" command in Terminal, it fails. I know this is a very specific request, but in essence, all I'm after is an OS X bundle with YAPP (which I now know is in the trunk) with adjustable day-length. Of anyone already has an OS X app with daylength and YAPP, I'd be much obliged...

Thanks,

Andy

My guess is that this patch does not apply to trunk anymore without code changes.
This is what I do in dir where I previously did some svn checkout in order to patch the source:

svn revert
svn up -r <revision>
patch -p0 < patchfilename
./configure
make

Both, the third line (patch...) as well as the last line (make) may fail.
patching will fail, if any of the HUNKs didn't succeed to apply. You'll get notification telling you that in the patch's output. If so: Updating of the patch is required or rolling back the revision of your checkout
make may also fail with error. Then, again, code modification or a roll back to the proper svn revision is required
Last but not least, not everything which compiles necessarily results in a working binary as you easily may programm something which triggers assertions or plain crashes.

To be more specific, it will help, if you paste the output you get in paste.openttd.org and post a link here.

Okay, I think I've done that correctly.

http://paste.openttd.org/81668 - there's a lot of red text there! I take it thats not a great sign!?

Code: Select all

This is the main problem. You should try to apply the patch to the version is was written for; the author will tell in the posting where he released it. Obviously it's not 14004.

It compiled, but the version you compiled might have issues in some places.

[Gremnon]

Actually, I managed to get this to compile perfectly with a recent build. I don't have the exact revision number to hand, but I can find out if it's necessary.
All I did was use the instructions at the end of the BuildOTTD thread for using it's compiler without it, and it runs perfectly.

Edit: Ok, I didn't fully read it, I didn't notice it wasn't a win32 build. My bad.

[chrissicom]

The patch was built for r11060 and is compatible to the current trunk revision afaik. Although you need to change some lines to make it work otherwise the patchfile is not applied properly. The logic of this patch should still work fine though I think.
