Oh my....... That auto-rail build feature is just unbelievably awesome! How easy it is to do diagonal tracks with that

[Jakal]

Awesome work, keep it up!!

[DanMacK]

Sweet! Gonna have to DL this when I get home. So when are we getting Multi-headed engines to go with the mammoth trains?

[MHTransport]

I am impressed.

But if it works it must be changed.

Can you move the auto - line button. I am used to the tracks being the first four and I think it may be more suited to a "special stuff" on a second layer of buttons.

The configure patches dialog could be an on off button combo like TT original had. Remember many men are colour blind, and it is culturally specific. (And IMOSHO it looks silly)

It did chrash when I tried to do a goto orders copy on a train. I should have kept that report.

That an %$%#%# wrote this installer? It have deleted all my saves and files, I created in the OTTD folder, without any request! Who gave it a permission to delete files?

BTW: why didn’t it make the ini configuration file, if it so “clever”?

[guyver6]

Well, installer could be more aware of deleting things, and should update existing installation (even if it's unzipped) of OTTD.

And as for this new version.... amazing. Damn, it's awesome. Great job.

And some useful feedback:
- transparency of buldings and trees stays on, after exiting game to title screen (I think that keeping transparency setting is good, but the title scene should apear with transparency turned off)
- graphics for slopes is somewhat strange (I'll post screens soon)
- Autorail button could be after the normal track building ones
- bind the transparency option to some key (in patch it's t, but now it's for tunnels, and it should stay like this, just give transparency another key, I dunno, maybe Z ?)

The key bindings are so intuitive that you just hit some key and you know that it's binded to what you want it to be binded. It's great.

Uh, if I'll think of something else, I'll post.

Me too, but I lost all my saves
And thy do build on slopes does not work for roads? What am I doing wrong? If it is not supported, please, implement it.

- Feature: show semaphores on the right side if right-sided traffic

=> Could you add a new feature : allow to choos rail sign on the left while right-sided traffic. It's the configuration we have in France : our trains are left-sides as english ones, but cars are right-sided as the rest of the world

[Villem]

its supported, just look at the startup menu ya get when OTTD has started(title screen menu), activate features from one of the tabs..and for me it transferred my save games to folder in TTD folder called "savegames"

[MagicBuzz]

Woops, sorry, I just installed the game and it supported in the option screen. Sorry

Thank you !!!

[MagicBuzz]

I think I found a little bug.

Look at this screen :
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/magicbuzz/openttd.png

-> My screen resolution is 1280*1024
-> I choosed 1600x1200 screen size in the game

=> The screen is still 1280x1024 and the game window growth nut don't ever fit the screen size. I Think it should not do that

[WJP]

- Feature: pre-signals (ctrl-click on existing signals to change signal type)


wasnt that already in?

Graphics, but they acted as standard signals. They now work as intended

you have to switch to fullscreen mode (ALT-G). Otherwise OpenTTD ignores the resolution.

[MagicBuzz]

OK

I thought it was a bug, because when changing resolution, game window's size changed, but to a "fake" size
