Iron Horse trains - releases

[ttdplanner]

Just found a bug:

If the 2nd livery of the high-speed Brenner locomotive is selected, the train accelerates very slow and the vehicle detail window always shows it as having 3042hp, even after adding extra Brenner wagons which are supposed add 3042hp each. The 1st livery DOES work correctly and gain an additional 3042hp per wagon added.

I tested multiple configurations* and the issue is definitely only with the 2nd livery (the one with pixelated pattern) of the Brenner locomotive.

*
1st livery locomotive + 1st livery wagons
1st livery locomotive + 2nd livery wagons
2nd livery locomotive + 1st livery wagons (bugged)
2nd livery locomotive + 2nd livery wagons (bugged)

Thanks! Should be fixed in Horse 3.0.1, which I just pushed to Bananas, and should be savegame compatible.

Iron Horse 3.1.0 will also be shipping soon and will not be savegame compatible, so eh

You can take the sources from Github, apply your your changes and build your own NewGRF-package with nml.

Tschö, Auge

except the source isn't in nml or even nfo it says .py like python

i would like the compiled nml version please?

For many projects the authors have broken down the source code further by using Python scripting to piece the NML together via pre-processing. They don't manage the source code by having an entire NML code file to edit, this makes it easier and more manageable anytime they need to modify existing code (bug fixes, etc) or add new code (new features, vehicles, etc).

Nice!

I've just updated Iron Horse to version 3.1.0.

Now when I start a game I'm getting an error:

Iron Horse 3.1 Fatal error.png (20.96 KiB) Viewed 4573 times

When I start OTTD from a terminal and attempting to start a game, I get:

Code: Select all

dbg: [grf] [iron_horse_3_trains-3.1.0/iron-horse.grf:23063] FeatureChangeInfo: Unknown property 0x31 of feature 0x00, disabling

EDITED TO ADD:
GRF list:

OTTD: 13.0 (as packaged by Debian Linux).

[Emperor Jake]

Try updating to 13.1, as Horse makes use of some very new features

[andythenorth]

I should add a version check eh

[skc]

If I could do an `apt-get upgrade` on it, I already would have weeks ago.
But the package maintainers for the official Debian packages haven't updated it from v13.0.
I have no desire to install OTTD by any method other than through `dpkg` and `apt-get`.

Please update your OpenTTD installation. The variants feature is onle avaliable with OpenTTD 13.1 (or newer).

[edit]
Saw the replies only after writing my own one.

It is no problem to download the Linux generic package, to unpack it and to start the binary. There's no need for a parallel installation.

It's not the 'variants' feature that's causing this error - I have a saved game using v3.0.1 of Iron Horse that runs perfectly fine WITH variants; v13.0, as packaged by Debian, supports variants.

Except that I would have to manually create a menu entry, or run it from a terminal every time.
One of the reasons I use Linux is because all software packages can be managed through a single package manager, which also triggers adding and removing of menu entries.

What my error report shows is that andy made an error in coding the latest version of Iron Horse - he forgot that certain features he wants to use are not able to be used with older versions of OTTD and omitted a version check (which his reply acknowledges).

[Emperor Jake]

The variants feature itself was added in 13.0, but in 13.1 it was amended with the ability to set strings for variants in different contexts. Horse requires this specific feature, which is what I believe is causing the problem.

Ahh, I see: "Feature: [NewGRF] Vehicle variants in expandable purchase list (#10220)" from the changelog, listing for version 13.0-RC1. Sorry, I remembered wrongly, that the feature was introduced with 13.1.

Yes I know these advantages but I also know the pitfalls of outdated program versions in the software repositories. Anyway, to use the generic binary directly from the unpacked archive is a legitimate interim solution.

Yes, but this argument would also apply to the variants feature (you specified your OpenTTD-installation as 13.0 in your initial report and I thought, that this version was not able to handle this feature).
