Faster loading of different cargos (version 0.22 & 0.50)

Oracle · Post by **Oracle** » 29 Dec 2003 17:58

A brand new version of allload.grf is now available from the first post of this topic.
If you're interested in (unrealistic) quick loading then try it out.

question:

temperate only, or arctic 2, and all tracktypes????

They should work with all tracktypes, yes, although I'm not sure about monorail because I use unifiedmaglev 1 and haven't tested it normally.
The files should also work with other climates, but beware that any locomotives in other climates that carry cargo might not have the enhanced loading time (almost definitely not with passload.grf/mailload.grf). The best way is simply to try it and see.

does it work only with trains or with ships/planes/road vehicles to ?

Oracle · Post by **Oracle** » 10 Jan 2004 14:36

Only trains ATM. When I tried to get it working with RVs, TTD completely broke and no RVs ever loaded anything at all, which was really weird, but maybe I made a mistake. After that, I just stuck to trains because that's where you find the most loading 'problems' and you don't really want the same loading speed for all four vehicle types.

By the way, this doesn't seem to work with the DBXL set. Is this fixable, or does the DBXL set too forcefully lock out any other GRF files?

The DBSet XL uses callbacks for some vehicles which will override this. It also sets the loading speed, but as long as you load this .grf after the dbsetxl it should work at least for those trains that don't use loading speed callbacks.

Well, that would appear to include the mail and passenger cars, which obviates the whole point - I do indeed have the DBXL listed before the rate-adjusting GRF files, and it doesn't do the trick. Argh. I think I'm going to build faster loading into the Japan and US sets to take care of the problem.

On a parameter, right?
I like it how it already is....

You could of course override the callbacks too... but then you lose the graphics
