There'll be another release soon - some changes based on gameplay testing results.

Why would a seagull follow my Iron Ore Barge

Because the captain keeps feeding it crisps?

I wonder what he is feeding the flashing px

First a big thanks for a GREAT NewGRF, loads of ships really make gameplay more fun for me

One problem I have noted in the version of FISH I have loaded (think it is 0.9.2), the lumber tug when refitted to 400T and breaking down have smoke coming out from the middle of the lumber stacks towed, shouldn't that come from the engine?

Wishlist: SS Matha, as in the star from the danish movie with the same name, anybody connected to danish or norwegian maritime industry knows her. She is a steam propel general cargo vessel, in trade between Pireus and Abajan. I will find some pictures for you if you are interested

Maybe the cargo being on fire was the reason they had to stop!

(Even if said cargo is immersed in water...)

Good one!

I can see hold fire as a big threat to ships, specially with coal, grain and oil cargos, fire on passenger ships generally end in some form of disaster, but I have problems seeing logs towed like that burn, with the chains securing them, there is hardly anything left above surface, and everything is soaked in water. Not even pouring gasoline on them would make them burn

[andythenorth]

If it's actually bugging you I'll disable it for FISH 2 - but there'll be no visual indication that the ship is broken down

[FLHerne]

Ah, but these logs are coated with potassium!

[NekoMaster]

Is there anyway to just move the location of the broken down smoke towards the tug? or perhaps have a different sprite for when its broken

I would imagine it'd be difficult to finagle the offsets of the smoke properly, considering that the tug effectively changes position based on how much the vehicle is loaded. The tug will be at once position when empty, it'll be at another offset when slightly loaded, and so on.

[andythenorth]

The positioning of breakdown smoke can't be changed.

http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NM ... properties

visual_effect visual_effect(VISUAL_EFFECT_XXX, offset) XXX=[DEFAULT | STEAM | DIESEL | ELECTRIC | DISABLE], it is the type of the visual effect you want for this ship. Default means no effect. Offset is the position of the effect. 0 is default, negative values mean more to the front and positive values are backwards. Minimum offset is -8, maximum is 7.

Does the underlined portion not work properly? I've not tested it with ships, am I missing something?

[andythenorth]

I didn't test it. Possibly the offsets for visual effect are also respected by breakdown smoke. The spec doesn't mention it though.

AFAIR it does not affect smoke of breakdown

Darn, I suppose it was a bit much to presume, but breakdown smoke and visual effect smoke are so similar...

If having the smoke moved is too difficult, what about a red glow from the engine room? A "broken down tug" sprite in place of the "tug"
