German road vehicle set [WIP, first version released]

[michael blunck]

AFAIK, for the German road vehicle set there are a lot of incompatible sets:

- HOVS UK Bus Set
- Long Vehicles v4
- Modern Tram Set
- Heavy Equipment Set
- UK Tram Set
- Generic Tram Set
- Russian Tram Set
- Serbian Tram Set
- Serbian RV Set
- Suspended Monorail Set
- Generic Road Vehicle Set
- Dutch Tram Set

from one or the other reason.

Uwe and Foobar. What can be the reason that these two sets are conflicting each other after staring new game?

Dunno, I don't believe I've done anything out of the ordinary in the Dutch Tram Set. Maybe because it sets different base costs, but these are GRF-local so that shouldn't be much of an issue.
So it's probably because Dutch trams aren't German

- Long Vehicles v4
- Heavy Equipment Set 1.5.1

These two works fine in my game with the German RV set

So it's probably because Dutch trams aren't German

Would use them tough in another games, as RV exporters use same type of trams all over the world and tough I don't search 100 % realism game wise

Hi,

the GermanRVSet checks for other sets that may potentially be incompatible or create strange side effects with costs and such. This basically is left from the times when I started development and focused mainly on TTDPatch compatibility. In OpenTTD this check should be disabled when the "enginepool" option is active, so I am actually surprised you get this message. I will probably remove the check altogether in the next version, as the original reasons for adding it are not valid anymore.

Regards,
Uwe

Thanks, that clears things up and seems logical!

[Eddi]

i vaguely remember there being a parameter to disable this check. but i'm completely in favour of removing this.

[Densha]

If you set the amount of number of parameters to '1' and set parameter 1 to '1' it should work, at least it did for me after some trail and error.

Ok, that worked for me also, I wasnt aware of that... Was there any "DoNotReadMe" anywhere where that was pointed out? Thank You IrmoTrainfan

[Densha]

Nope, when Eddi wrote that a parameter might work I messed around a bit and it worked. I've also been wanting to use the Dutch tram set together with this set for a long time but forgot about it after a while.

[ISA]

Seems like miss alignment?

@ISA: Can you please state exactly what version of the set and what version of the game you are using? I could not reproduce this error here so far. I'm quite surprised to see this, the code for this bus hasn't been touched in ages.

Hello,

i use the 0.23 Version from 2010 and it is the only Road Vehicle Set i am using. But there are no trucks to choose from, only busses and trams (and the default trucks balogh, witcombe, uhl, etc.)

Can anyone help me how to activate the german trucks?

I'm wondering : how stable is this alpha version ? In the webpage, it is stated that "This version is NOT for playing, it is incomplete, contains untested new features and only meant for testing!" Even if I - generally - am not basically afraid by using some unstable stuff, given a such warning, I didn't want to take the risk to build a whole map with problematic stuff.

So: is this alpha version actually - at least decently - playable ?

As side note, I really like this set (I use it in version 0.23 for now), specially because it's large capacity trams and busses are perfect to deal with the enlarged passengers traffic resulting from cargodist. I'll be very happy to see a further stabilized release come out.

I did play with the v03 alpha 11 some ~200 (game) years and noticed no significant bug. I used trucks and trams only. The trams are indeed very usefull when playing with cargodist.

It is playable like any "rxxx" version of some other set. Being an "alpha" version, even more so.

All "rxxx" versions are not equally stabilized. Some are playable, some are not.

Well, that'll be enough for me.

Thank you.
