[OTTD] Generic Cars [v0.4] 22/02/2010

That is how NewGRF works. One has to overwrite default vehicles or even remove all of them.

No they can be preserved I did it for HEQS. If I remember correctly, don't use IDs 00-57h for newgrf vehicles.

Why does it have to replace the buses though? I can't really use it because I use buses a lot.

The latest version of this grf doesn't replace the buses. Make sure you're using Generic Cars v0.4 and not v0.1.

Ah yes, that would indeed be the solution. I kinda forgot that you also can go higher than the default IDs with the engine pool.

Anyways, with the current grf as it is, using OpenGFX+Roadvehicles is a nice solution to get the normal buses back.

Odd, that's what it says in the in-game content thing.

That description appears to be out of date; perhaps if Zephyris reads this he can update it. Have you actually tried the grf in a game?

I just tried it and it doesn't replace the buses. Thanks.

Hi all... I'm not clear what the issue is. The version in BaNaNaS is the latest (0.4) and I believe works correctly. What is the problem?

The issue was that bman was using an older version. As I understand it the problem is now solved by updating to the latest version.

The in-game description mentions about replacing buses and company colours, neither of which apply to the latest version - I believe this was the cause of the problem. Perhaps you could give this text an update to avoid any further confusion?

I love using this mod with StreetTraffic but I like playing in the past before this mod comes into play, I had some ideas for a set of earlier vehicles and I managed to reverse engineer this set to include them instead of the current cars, can I get permission to release it when I'm done changing the sprites? I read through the license included and it seems like it should be fine but I thought I'd ask for permission and make sure. Only parts of the code will be the same.

I've been mandate to using Generic Cars when start a game begins over 12 years, but there's should be revamped to new version.

If Generic Cars should update again, i get a new suggestions :
- Parameter options must be always :

• Choose color schemes : Company Colored, Original, Rainbow
• Choose speed limits when drive : Low, Normal, High
• Enable cost, if press say 'yes' or 'no'

- New car types should be add more such as :

• Suzuki Swift
• Volkswagen Golf
• Suzuki Wagon R
• Toyota Corolla
• Toyota Corolla Hatchback (fka Auris)
• Honda Jazz/Fit
• Toyota Yaris/Vitz
• Cyberpunk-inspired hatchback car (available between 2070-2100)

- New car sound effects
