JGR's Patch Pack

[Ricard]

Many thanks for the good job you are doing.

Lately I'm having one problem. I'm not sure which version started happening but now I'm using 72.1

Some trains get stuck in stations for a while when reach 100% loading or 0% unloading. They stay stuck while other trains arrive, load or download and go on. After a variable time any stuck train come to live again and continue with their work. I've made some tests but I could not discover why one train gets stuck and when they go back to work.

I attach a couple of examples when you download the game, the focus is on one station with some stuck trains.

It does not make sense to use timetable auto-separation for this group. I suggest you turn it off.
Your trains are waiting because they are running early. However the lateness state should probably just be ignored because the timetable is not in a started/valid state anyway.

My fault. I never use auto separation in non passenger trains. Now I have realised that there is a configuration option to put auto separation by default in all trains.

Thanks for your help

Hello

Now I have realised that there is a configuration option to put auto separation by default in all trains.

Automatic separation should be turned off

Automatic separation turned on or off, both approaches have their drawbacks. Is it turned off, freight line vehicles which typically should start when fully loaded will do this but for passenger lines where one wants to have automatic separation one has to remember to manually turn it on. If turned on, one has to remember to turn it off again for freight line timetables. In my experience, I tend to forget this quite often (in my case to disable it for freight line timetables), and I reckon I’m by no means the only one.

Ideally the setting would have an option to set it on for passenger vehicles and to disable it for all other vehicles. But I haven’t the faintest idea whether something like that is even feasible.

Tschö, Auge

I have received a bug report regarding AIList instances during save and load. See viewtopic.php?p=1279485#p1279485

I found out the reason the script crashes on load is due to a problem with saving in JGRPP.

Between these two lines, adding the following fixes the save issue.

Code: Select all

SlWriteByte(SQSL_INSTANCE);

Thanks, this will be fixed in the next release.

I have an ongoing observation: could it be possible to count a vehicle's delivery cycles in a given year? Instead of checking how much it earned, we would instead check the cycles traveled from station to station. This way, we could easily compare which transport option would be best for a given route?
