Road and TramTypes and available vehicles

[GuilhermeJK]

Hello there,

I've experimenting with a RoadType and TramType grf, coding in NML 0.5.2 and I have sorted nearly all the graphics but almost all my defined types end up with empty buy new vehicle lists at the depots. I have looked at RattRoads and Unspooled nml and replicated what they have done with roadtypetable and powered_roadtype_list but it doesn't work for me. What am I missing?

Here is an example of two roadtypes that should have all the vehicles active. The first one is the only roadtype with actual vechicles to be purchased. The second one (and all the others) have none.

Code: Select all

roadtypetable{
	ROAD, TRAI, MUD0, DIRT, COBB, SETT, FSET, BASP, MASP, EXPR, HWAY
}
// THIS ONE WORKS, HAS VEHICLES TO BE PURCHASED
item (FEAT_ROADTYPES, town_road, 0){
	property{
		label: "ROAD";
		introduction_date:     date(0001,01,01);
		name:                  string(STR_ROAD_TOWN);
		toolbar_caption:       string(STR_ROAD_TOWN_TOOLBAR);
		menu_text:             string(STR_ROAD_TOWN_MENU);
		// powered_roadtype_list: ["ROAD", "TRAI", "MUD0", "DIRT", "COBB", "SETT", "FSET", "BASP", "MASP", "EXPR", "HWAY", "HAUL"];
		//introduces_roadtype_list: ["ROAD", "TRAI"];
		//alternative_roadtype_list: ?;
		roadtype_flags:        bitmask(ROADTYPE_FLAG_TOWN_BUILD);
		construction_cost: 8; //Default
		maintenance_cost:  16; //Default
		speed_limit:       81 km/h; //Maximum of 100 km/h
		build_window_caption:  string(STR_GENERIC_BUILD_VEHICLE);
		autoreplace_text:      string(STR_GENERIC_AUTOREPLACE);
		new_engine_text:       string(STR_GENERIC_NEW_ENGINE);
		sort_order:            0;
	}
	graphics{
		underlay: sw_town_road_zone;
		depots: sw_town_depot_zone;
		bridge_surfaces: spset_susp_mono_bridge;
	}
}


// THIS ONE DOESN'T, AS ALL THE OTHERS HAVE NO VEHICLES
item (FEAT_ROADTYPES, modern_asphalt_road, 8){
	property{
		label: "MASP";
		introduction_date:     date(1960,01,01);
		name:                  string(STR_ROAD_MODERN_ASPHALT);
		toolbar_caption:       string(STR_ROAD_MODERN_ASPHALT_TOOLBAR);
		menu_text:             string(STR_ROAD_MODERN_ASPHALT_MENU);
		// powered_roadtype_list: ["ROAD", "TRAI", "MUD0", "DIRT", "COBB", "SETT", "FSET", "BASP", "MASP", "EXPR", "HWAY"];
		roadtype_flags:        bitmask(ROADTYPE_FLAG_TOWN_BUILD);
		construction_cost: 12;
		maintenance_cost:  16;
		speed_limit:       81 km/h;
		build_window_caption:  string(STR_GENERIC_BUILD_VEHICLE);
		autoreplace_text:      string(STR_GENERIC_AUTOREPLACE);
		new_engine_text:       string(STR_GENERIC_NEW_ENGINE);
		sort_order:            8;
	}
	graphics{
		underlay: spset_road_modern_asphalt;
		depots: spset_depot_modern_asphalt;
		gui: spset_gui_modern_asphalt;
		bridge_surfaces: spset_bridge_modern_asphalt;
		roadstops: spset_roadstop_modern_asphalt;
	}
}

You have these lines commented out...I think if you remove the comment characters ("//") your set will work fine

Code: Select all

// powered_roadtype_list: ["ROAD", "TRAI", "MUD0", "DIRT", "COBB", "SETT", "FSET", "BASP", "MASP", "EXPR", "HWAY", "HAUL"];
// introduces_roadtype_list: ["ROAD", "TRAI"];

Silly me, I put the wrong the example with the commented lines.

But then, it worked when I used this same table on all of them. And I think I know why. Whenever I change some sprites, I compile the NML again and update the GRF midgame to see if the sprites are aligned and such.

I did the same when modifying the code... (and apparently I forgot that changing GRFs midgame may induce silly effects that wouldn't if I had started a new game). :facepalm:

I'll get back to this post if any other roadtype label issue appears.
