Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Thank you JGR. Your suggestion solved my Font problem!

This is added now. It'll be in the next release.Emperor Jake wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021 10:46 Hi JGR, would you consider adding an option to allow renaming towns in multiplayer?

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Hi there,
Is it possible to have a conditional order jump based on a train's timetable delay? I love using this patch pack to create realistic passenger networks with timetables and connecting services. The ability to have trains turn back short of their destination when delayed would be a great addition and mirrors the real practice of many operators.
Thank you for the patch pack and apologies if this suggestion has been made before.

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Would it be possible to add a feature similar to 'No vehicles expire after year X' setting that does something similar but for introductions? Like 'No vehicles get introduced after year X'?
Re: JGR's Patch Pack
I'm using realistic train braking model, and I've noticed an oddity with a section of tracks displayed on an attached image.
On both track variants train is coming through the white blob. On the left everything is fine and the train passes the entire section at full speed; on the right train slows down when reaches the part indicated by yellow.
I noticed similar behavior with some other track configurations and the commonality seems to be in the following sequence of events:

I noticed similar behavior with some other track configurations and the commonality seems to be in the following sequence of events:
- Train approaches a set of tracks going downhill.
- Train reserves an additional set of signal blocks to account for gravity extending the braking distance.
- Train detects that it no longer needs extra reservations and lowers their number.
- Train panics and slows down, probably still thinking it needs more reservations.
Re: JGR's Patch Pack
That should be doable, I'll look into it soonish.ZaphodB wrote: ↑15 Mar 2021 09:26 Hi there,

That shouldn't be technically difficult. What would you be intending to use that for, incidentally?Darthrafael wrote: ↑15 Mar 2021 12:23 Would it be possible to add a feature similar to 'No vehicles expire after year X' setting that does something similar but for introductions?

Have you got a savegame that shows the issue?

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Using it in combination with things never expiring after a certain year to like, start with early steam locomotives, then slowly get better steam locomotives, but not get more modern stuff. Like, suspending technological advancement after a certain point, but still having it in the early game.JGR wrote: ↑17 Mar 2021 15:48That shouldn't be technically difficult.

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
My original savegame uses 2 grfs that I got from this forum originally, so I don't know, if I can post them here along with the save. I tried recreating the track layout in a different game with downloadable grfs only, this time the tracks worked fine, but I got a slowdown in different section, I marked it with a sign.

Thanks for this.

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Am I the only one who has graphical glitches in 0.40.4?
Look at the length of the rails under construction. It flickers.
Add
It looks like it happens in Polyline mode only. In Autorail mode everything is OK.

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Hi JGR, this time I have not got some crash, but two feature suggestions:
Thanks,
MLG
- Is it possible to give rail depot (and maybe also road and ship ones, if easy to implement) a "close depot" button? It would be useful, since with realistic braking, one can not buldoze pieces of rail, which have PBS reservation. And if you have some busy depot on a busy place, it makes almost impossible to get rid of that depot, for example, because of rebuild of railway section. My vision is, that no trains would reserve their path into closed depot. It would be also useful, if you for example play with Ufiby's tracks, which have nice depot graphics, to make eyecandy depot yard, if you detail with eyecandy and do not want for trains to come there.
- Another one is probably harder to implement: road pathfinder, that takes NRT speed limits into account, when pathfinding (I had a game, where all my road traffic prefered a country road, when there was a highway only few tiles longer). I know, that this can be solved by dummy bus stop, however even, when it does not load or unload, RVs stop there, making a traffic pileup, and Cargodist takes stop into account, making unwanted connection links.
Thanks,
MLG

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
The road vehicle pathfinder was recently fixed to consider speed limits: https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/8710
Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Hi JGR,
Is it possible to add a cheat option for "station ratings will be always 100%", just like FIRS once had this setting in parameters.
Thank you.

Re: JGR's Patch Pack

This would be technically possible, but seems like a small gain compared to the code and UI changes required.MLG wrote: ↑19 Mar 2021 19:45 Hi JGR, this time I have not got some crash, but two feature suggestions:Edit: Deleted second suggestion, because it is being implemented into base game.

If the train which has reserved a route has been stopped and is stationary, the reserved track including depots can be edited/removed.
Presumably you would need to stop trains when doing substantive track layout changes even without realistic braking.
There are already some GRFs available which do exactly this, e.g. viewtopic.php?p=1228729#p1228729
This may well be on bananas as well.

Anyway, thank you for your response and for all your work on this patchpack. It's amazing

Re: JGR's Patch Pack
Hi, JGR,
I got some strange sorting behavior: Game sorts waiting passengers at least at one station wrong. As You can see in screenshot, it does not sort by numbers, but maybe in alphabetical order of destinations, while according to informations in window, it should be by numbers. EDIT: Also in all my previous games it was sorted by numbers, and it makes more sense. (end of edit) I did not check all stations in game, since there are many of them. However, I am attaching savegame, so it is possible to study it. Thanks for solving it!
