[OTTD] 2cc TrainsInNML - Current version: 3.0

[Transportman]

Important message:

I just released a new version (3.0-RC1) with two small fixes compared to the previous release. It is on BaNaNaS.

Somewhere next month I intend to make it a full release.

3.0 has been released, no changes compared to 3.0-RC1. With that I will stop development of this set, I just don't have the motivation to continue on it.

That is the old set, but you search for 2cc this set is right under the old set.

[romazoon]

ok, but where ? (see screenie)

edit : this is OTTD 1.4.2 if you are wondering

Can you try again? I changed the minimum OpenTTD version from Nightly 23971 to 1.2.0.

[romazoon]

now it's there

and now i feel "extactic" too, cause that set is somewhat awesome !

great works guys

[ssmit132]

Congratulations on the release!

Just a little thing I noticed when looking through the set - the 4th and 5th generation centerbeam cars have the same capacity. I assume that isn't supposed to be the case?

[Transportman]

That assumption is correct. Also other properties seem to be incorrect in some cases, probably because of some incorrect copy pasting somewhere along the line. For now, I have added it to the tracker as issue #7047.

[Transportman]

I released 1.0-beta2, fixing two bugs:

• Fix #7046: Vehicle sort order and IDs due to wrong names
• Fix #7047: Cargo wagon properties

Not really big bugs, but bugs that were better fixed immediately, as it involved some vehicle properties and IDs.

[Voyager One]

Forgive me but... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Transportman]

Forgive me but... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That is why I made a release, then all these bugs are found, even when introduced quite recently (who updates to the latest push-build every day?).

[Voyager One]

Sorry mate, I've seen this picture and just fallen off my chair from laughing. It isn't meant for you in particular but for all of us.

At least we now have a set with bugs to fix...

[Transportman]

And that is the third beta in as the same amount of days, fixing that nasty bug with DMUs not being available and some graphical issues.

Changelog:

• - Feature: Purchase menu text for unit wagons (issue #7057)
• Fix #7055: FS 895 flag used company color
• Fix r278: DMU vehicle IDs (issue #7052)
• Fix: JR EH500 alignment (issue #7056)
• Fix: RZD VL85 rear engine sprite was reversed (issue #7052)
• Fix: Talgo purchase sprites
• Update: Translations from webtranslator

[Voyager One]

Fix: JR EH500 alignment (issue #7056)

Not quite but you'll find the answer on devzone. Simply - I'm a bit stupid...

[Roslav]

Is there any difference between regional and compartment passenger cars other than that regional cars have worse capacity to running cost ratio (e.g. Wooden 2-a CC has cap 15 pax and RC 468$,while Wooden 2-a RC has cap 10 pax and RC 792$)? Do compartment passenger cars have better cargo decay?

At this moment, the answer is no. But coaches do need a new cost balancing, and apparently there's room for improvement there. I'm too punishing on type, which has resulted in higher costs for lesser coaches.

Found really smallish bug!

Code: Select all

//Parts Length
switch(FEAT_TRAINS, SELF, switch_steam_USA_4_4_0_American_length, position_in_vehid_chain % 2) {
 0: 5;
 4;
}

Should be:

Code: Select all

//Parts Length
switch(FEAT_TRAINS, SELF, switch_steam_USA_4_4_0_American_length, position_in_vehid_chain % 2) {
 0: 6;
 4;
}

Found really smallish bug!

Thanks for spotting, will be fixed later today in a push-build. Just so you know, vehicles that you already have running around with this error will keep running around with that error, as I will make a new vehicle with the fixed properties and set the climate availability of the old one to NO_CLIMATE. That way people can still update from older versions of this NewGRF without breaking compatibility.

[EDIT]And fixed in r328, which will be part of a future beta4[/EDIT]

[Digitalfox]

Hey Transportman

Are you sure you want to go that road?

Won't that be overkill on the amount of work you have to do each time a bug is found?

It's still a beta so all this smallish bugs should be expected and until it's not out of beta and RC people should just use it for testing games not playable games.

I mean if it was already full release, I would understand better the need to not break save compatibility, but at this point you risk having way to much legacy code to maintain in the future.

Bottom line, I and I hope everybody else appreciate that you are trying to help everybody who already is using this pre-release, but is it needed at this point?
