JGR's Patch Pack

[wallyweb]

Using Visual Studio 2019 for Windows 32bit I compiled version 31.0 from source.
All went well except the game says "norev000"

Probably git is not in your PATH, such that determineversion.vbs cannot find it.
There is a fallback for git not being present in findversion.sh for non-Windows systems, however I have not implemented this in determineversion.vbs. Visual Basic is not really my forte...

I can use git to clone your master. But I need a stable build for 0.31.0 which I got as source from your "Previous Releases". Is there a way to git clone a previous release?

You can run

Code: Select all

git checkout jgrpp-0.31.0

in your clone, and then compile, to build that release.

A very strange bug (?)

V310 (and also seen in v30.3) Win-64bit version as on page 1.

Road vehicles have wildly inaccurate speeds being shown in 'available vehicles', depots and 'replace vehicles' windows.
Other vehicles are not affected. RVs appear run run at their actual speeds. (picture 1jan)

However, they also exhibit strange routing behaviour. I normally have double through stations that allow trucks to pick a vacant bay when they arrive at a truck stop
and this mostly works. V310, this doesn't happen. A group of trucks will pick one bay and end up queueing. Some time later, trucks will pick the other bay.

They also have trouble pathfinding when part of a road is removed. They will move down that dead-end road without realising that it now leads nowhere.

See the enclosed pictures. (2jan and 4jan) I cut the road as the truck on the left starts its journey and it proceeds down the dead-end road.
This confused pathfinding is sometimes quite erratic...but it's as if the truck has decided on its route and will not be aware of the route becoming damaged.

I'm using the recommended YAPF pathfinder and have standard settings (unchanged for years). I can't think of anything else that might be causing this.
I'm back using V29.0 where this problem does not appear. I've also tried a no GRF game and get the same effects with the default road vehicles.

Also tested on 2 different computers with the same results.

As it hasn't been reported I'm worried that it's due to me...

This is probably since road vehicle paths are cached for performance. Some values may need tweaking, and doing extra stuff like not caching the final part of the journey where penalties really matter. This will also affect master.

[3iff]

I wondered if RVs were pre-calculating their paths and not updating as they travel. Is there anything I can do with in-game settings or is it hardcoded in the game?

Thanks for the quick response...at least this one probably isn't my fault!

[peter1138]

It's hardcoded but they only cache up to 8 junctions. This was enough to make a huge performance benefit on a large map with many vehicles, especially with large grid-like town layouts. You can test it by switching pathfinder to NPF which does not get cached, but of course may have its own differences.

[3iff]

Thanks, I'll experiment with that.

Unfortunately as it runs at the moment, RVs are nowhere near as good as they were before the 'improvement'.
If it could be switched on/off by the player it would help enormously.

Marvelous!
You've provided me with the information I needed to dig into Visual Studio (VS). Your jgrpp branch code contains all your tag references. VS is able to see those tags. I compile jgrpp. Then I highlight the tag of my desires and recompiled. Works a charm.

Hello, I've noticed a little bug with tunnel entrance, using 0.31 win64 default blitter/animation (that maybe the problem?), it's like the sprites don't update when zoom or move. See attached screenshot.

Using Nvidia 1080, windows10, windowed (fullscreen same problem).

Edit: Or maybe it's from japan tracks? don't remember having this problems before, road tunnel are fine. Tested and i'ts only that old brick style of tunnel, the modern tunnel is fine too.

Edit2: It was the Monorail Track Replacement 1.0, after removing it, all fine!

This is fixed now, it appears to be a bug in upstream commit e6bb9054, I will propagate this issue shortly.
The original acceleration model is relatively unused and I for one don't test with it.

Probably road modification commands should do some cache invalidation of road vehicle paths.
Clearing the cache for all road vehicles would be the simplest answer, though it is a little heavy-handed.

Load balancing between vacant bays is a little more tricky without re-introducing performance issues.

It might be worth mentioning it to the GRF author if they are still active, they may not be aware of the issue.

I created a bug tracker issue for the road vehicle pathfinding: #7592

During testing for this path caching I found a bug where a vehicle could end up circling forever in certain configurations, if you removed a road on its cached path. This is nowhere near as bad

Whenever I play on a map size 2048x4096, the game will always crash part way through loading. Some of the settings (not newgrf settings) will default (mostly around map generation). Thought I'd report this as it hasn't happened with previous versions.

If you could post the crash log and relevant save game(s) I'll take a look.

Unfortunately the game didn't load to the point I could save it. I instead tried reproducing it but it seems to have resolved itself.
Thanks anyway.

Do you mean that the crash occurred when starting a new game?
The crash.log file would still be useful to see even if it is working now.

I've been trying to expand a station but the game keeps crashing as I work on it. Not sure if it's related to the station itself or something else that's going on elsewhere in my game. When the game crashes, I get an error message about disconnecting road vehicles.

I'm attaching the crash files. Let me know if I can provide any other info.

And THANK YOU! I only discovered this patch pack a few weeks ago and it feels like I'm playing almost an entirely new game!

Thanks for reporting this.
This looks like a known issue with the current release.
If an articulated road vehicle attempts to overtake another road vehicle on a custom road bridge head tile a disconnection error can occur.
I would recommend that you switch the setting: "Articulated road vehicles may overtake" to off, until the next release.

[u_g]

That seems to have worked. Thanks for the quick response!
