Hi,

Ran into a problem when I editing files and other work had power outage and lost some data.

The worse hit is the file AuzWaypointsAndMoreFreightStationsV4. (The one with the new additions of Loco sheds, Overlap sheds, turntable and water tanks).

Before the power outage was looking at the idea of changing to AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots Extensions

So before I did make the change I did a test game with the previous extension "AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots and Add-Ons for AuzTrack Depots"

to see if changing the new name will corrupt that saved game, which it did.

So in process of changing them all back from "AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots Extensions" to "AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots and Add-Ons for AuzTrack Depots"

we had a power outage as I was saving the files it and must have corrupted the file.

When tested it the saved test game did not load properly even with the correct code of "AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots and Add-Ons for AuzTrack Depots".

The new additions such as Turntable, Water Tanks, and Overlap files are not available in saved game now which they was before..

Maybe the problem will just be on my computer and that saved game.

But wonder if any one can test this file for me from a one of your previous saved game and see if the new additions such as Turntable, Water Tanks, and Overlap files are available.

Thanks kindly

Cheers







I did a test and saved the test game

I had a test saved game and the latest

Does it work with a new game?

EDIT: It does. You really shouldn't be changing graphics mid-game. Even tiny alterations are usually prone to glitches.

[GarryG]

Does it work with a new game?

It works ok with new games .. but not with the save game I had.

The saved game will load but the new additions are not available anymore.

So wonder if only my games have this problem?

EDIT:

I found the problem .. it isn't the file .. what happening is the saved game finding a compatible file was loading a older version V3 which I still had in the newgrf folder.

I removed the older version and now al seems ok now.

[KeldorKatarn]

Yeah the same happened to me, it prefers loading V3 as compatible. I got rid of that too

[GarryG]

I panicked and worry for nothing .

All the problem was is because I changed the Rail Station Selection name to "AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots Extensions" and loaded the saved game started it found a old version as a compatible file and not the new version.

Now all working fine with the Rail Station Selection name being changed to "AuzTrainDepot: Train Depots Extensions".

Because of the power outage I thought the file was corrupt

Now I can relax for a while and fix the minor alignment problem with the Old Loco Sheds in AuzTracks and the extensions in the "AuzWaypointsAndMoreFreightStationsV4". I see the roof of these buildings needs new roofing iron as last lot not put on properly.

Carpenters been busy and fixed the roof on the Old depots.

The Depot with green door is the Depot from "AuzTracks".

The rest are all from "AuzWaypointsAndMoreFreightStationsV4"

If all goes well tomorrow or soon after I intend to make 2 more sets of the "Reserved Path Aware Tiles" (The Doors).

Like to do one with out the Tank and Coal bin and also one with the new square water tanke and column.

After I do those it back to doing the subway stations .. I hope.

If you like to use what I done so far here the 2 files you need.

overhead wires stick out the tops

You can fix that issue with those overlaps by changing the bounding-boxes:

The green colored pieces are the actual station, the purple/red pieces are the overlap.
I have made a template for you (code & graphics):

PlatformOverlapToSWSE.rar

(5.09 KiB) Downloaded 53 times

It will still glitch (a lot), but you wont have catenary poking through all the time and everywhere.
In this case I have set the hight of the boundingbox to 30, you can change that to a hight you want ofcourse

1915 * 66 00 04 04 01 25 08 "AS07" 11 FF 14 00 09 02
F4 03 00 00 00 00 00 20 05 30 2D 84 00 00 00 0B 00 20 05 30 2E 84 00 00 80
F3 03 00 00 00 00 00 05 20 30 2F 84 00 00 0B 00 00 05 20 30 30 84 00 00 80


Note, that in this template there are still wires and pylons on the actual station tile.
If you want to remove those, change the values of Properties 11 and 14 in Action-0 (11 FF to 11 00 and 14 00 to 14 FF), as you already know

[GarryG]

Thanks heaps Quast65.

With overlaps to the front end like that and just have the roof with no wall what you coded should work good.

Will se what I can do.

Cheers

Thanks for those .. I was on the right track trying to make a code for it.

I did the NE and NW and also had a go at the direction you did.

This is the results.

Hopefully they remember to move the door after they moved the shed, too...

EDIT: Or, maybe I'm looking at this wrong, and I thought the brown part on the bottom of the shed was actually the ground around the shed? I'm confused!

I put the door only on the main Depot that comes with AuzTracks as it looked a bit weird on each section when they all joined.

I looked at many photos of these types of old sheds and some have the door on front next to the big doors, so thinking to change design slightly and make them wider.

EDIT: Or, maybe I'm looking at this wrong, and I thought the brown part on the bottom of the shed was actually the ground around the shed? I'm confused!

The brown suppose to be bricks .. when working in both 32 bit bbp and 8 bit bbp they some times don't transfer properly. Thanks to you noticing this .. think I need new bricks

Cheers

[kamnet]

I think what confused me is that between the grey and the browns there's a darker line of pixels, and I assumed that meant the bottom of the grey building and the ground meeting. I know it might be some work, but I wonder if that would improve if you could put those darker pixels on the bottom of the brick next to the ground?

Would you be able to add TYTX and ELTX track types, to be compatible with ToyTrax? As far as I can tell, compatibility is defined from the track set outwards, instead of inwards. Thanks in advance.

[GarryG]

Do these depots look better with new bricks?

The main depot this time is up front.

My designs are from NuTracks and I just checked their codes but they don't have TYTX and ELTX in their codes.

Can someone give me a clue? Do I just add the TYTX and ELTX to the

Code: Select all

railtypetable {

sections or do I need make new set of tracks?

Add TYTX to this on RAIL and ELRL...

Code: Select all

 compatible_railtype_list: 

...and add ELTX to this on ELRL...

Code: Select all

 powered_railtype_list: 

It should also allow normal trains to run on my tracks when AuzTracks is loaded.

[GarryG]

I put those codes in .. hope they right.

Here the file if like to test see if I got it right.

[kamnet]

Oh yes, I think these look much better!

[Quast65]

I think the discussion about stationtiles that can overlap a depot has become offtopic in this thread.
I am continuing the discussion here:

Thanks, but it looks like my assumption that ToyTrax could piggyback on AuzTrack code to accept normal trains was wrong. Keep the code, but unless train sets are re-coded to accept ToyTrax, I'm going to have to leave my NewGRF out of my games.

Sorry that not work . maybe someone reading this might have an idea to help.
