How do i get more vehicles????

[Torben DH]

How do you change the amount of maxvehicles in openttd??? like u can do in ttdpatch..........

[Wolf01]

try using some sets like dbsetXL

[Prof. Frink]

Have you *tried* the DBXL in openTTD?
If you like having tenders running about with no engines attached, then it's fine.
The ice-3's comletely broken too.

There's an option for that

[Torben DH]

I dont want to have more vehicles to choose from i want to build more vehicles. after aprox 20-30 years in the game i cnat build more and get the "there are to may vehicles in game".......................[/quote]

[Muttley]

You can configre max vehicle for each type in the patch configuration menu at the main menu. up to 240 of each vehicle i think. (hope this helps)

I now this the problem is when u have 200 trains with 15 wagons attached u cant build anymore....... and i like building very long trains that goes from corner to corner on the map.................

[Muttley]

cant help you there im afraid. still 200 trains is a lot. when you got trucks ect also

[Torben DH]

i cant build trucks plains or ship it is the overall vehicle max of the game i want to change

[Muttley]

you can only set each type to 240. Why can you only do trains ?

[Roo]

Boss is right, I've just reached the limit too.
Also 240 trains per player is NOT enough! I must use LordOfThePigs's subdiary patch to controll more.

Muttley: there are 2 types types of vehicle limits

1) max. no. of trains, road vehicles, ships and aircrafts per player. You can set max. 240 of each type (that's not enough)

2) total no. of vehicles in the game. 1bus = 1 vehicle, 1 train engine with 7 cars = 8 vehicles, 1 aircraft = 2 vehicles (I think) and this is count together for all players + some vehicle space reserved for UFOs & other non-player cars

TTDpatch uses blocks of 850 vehicles so you can easily increase total no. of vehicles up to 40*850. That's enough

But how is it in OTTD, i don't know

[brankok]

I've the same problem.
Yesterday evening I was playing and without any warning I got the messge "Too many vehicles".
What a shock !!
Counting all vehicles in game roughly , I 've used no more than 2300 ,including ships , wagons and all vehicles of the AI.
And there is many place left for more vehicles.

I hope this is only a little define in the sources

[Korenn]

right now, the only way you can have more vehicles is by changing the source and recompiling it.

dynamic stuff for vehicles etc is on the todo list, so eventually there will be an option.

[Torben DH]

you can only set each type to 240. Why can you only do trains ?

i can do trucks planes and ships if i delete a train....................

its the max vehicles in game limit i reached

[PeteB]

Both the games I have in progress have the same limit. 1,958 vehicles.

[Tom_le_mort]

Think that in the original TTD hte maximum was 80

But if you want you can modify the source code and recompile the game.

[Torben DH]

I have bougth a book about programming today
so i will learn that and then make a patch or alter the source or something

[Zooz]

Think that in the original TTD hte maximum was 80

But if you want you can modify the source code and recompile the game.

No no no half of you is talking about the wrong limit!

I think this is about the limit of all total road vehicles, planes, ships, trains and wagons, including those of the AI, and subs and UFOs etc, added up. You could multiply it in the patch, by 2 to 40.

your rigth...............

[PeteB]

I have 245 trains spread out between different subs. Each train has 8 vehicles including the engines apart from 2 which have 7 each. Thus I obtained the limit 245 x 8 -2 =1958. It does seem to be a strange number, I would have expected it to be 2,048
