Yep, this was a bug. Thanks.

Is it just me or can everyone still not build passenger wagons in normal train depots

Edit: Don't worry, just tried it in a new game and it seems to work fine. Just not in old games

You need to use the sign cheat "cht:resetvehicles", to get new/update vehicles in a saved game.

Or just click the "Apply" button in the Graphics Status window.

the "CS's Locomotion"-style building is something funny...but it would be greatly practical if there's a hotkey for the "lay track" button, to save effort of finger laying diagonal tracks. is there already one?

there isn't one yet, but probably will be in the future

that's a good news. i never thought ttd patch's maniability'd get near that of OTTD! really good job, mate.

I went and got the newly uploaded improved graphics files, and I found something odd: The new "New Stations" file from MB is half the size of the old one. Surely better coding can't save that much, can it? It sounds like something's wrong to me. Any ideas?

Yes - it's v0.1, not v0.2.

You mean, the posting on the Patch website is wrong, I guess?

Any idea how to active the experimentalfeatures switch?

I try to anable slowcrossing (bit 1) and no profitscreen at and of the year (bit 64). When set experimentalfeatures 65 both won't work.
When I put experimentalfeatures.slowcrossing off, this works.
But how do I activate both?

Any suggestions? I search the wiki but coundn't find anything futher.

Please help.

When I enable locomotionstylegui, the 'Station' tab is empty and clicking on it crashes the game. I've disabled all new station sets, but the problem persists.
What can be the source of the problem?

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 15 Feb 2005 19:17

Known problem. It's because that system isn't finished yet. Just don't do that, and wait for the next alpha.

You're mixing experimentalfeatures and miscmods.
No profit screen is a miscmod.

OK, thanks. I knew it was something simple

If this has been asked before, then I'll say sorry now.

The question is

What I would like to do is be able to load either a42 or a43 without having to remove one and install the other.

The reason for this is that occasionally a new alpha release may have an unknown bug (Hey! After all it is alpha

) and until one is sure, it would be nice to able to try the new alpha without having to rip out the previous one.

Windows98 does not appear to like having two installs of the same program even under separate folders, as in two instances of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, one in folder A and another in folder B. It will always default to the last one installed. Maybe someone knows of a registry tweek to overcome this

Perhaps there is a way to have a42 and a43 installed at the same time

Somehow I don't think so but I thought I'd ask before I start messing around.

Any good suggestions or really imaginitive flames would be greatly appreciated.

I use this batch file for updating TTDPatch:

Code: Select all

@echo off
Title Updating TTDPatch
cd\games\ttdeluxe\
copy /Y ttdpatchw.exe ttdpatchw.bak
copy /Y mkpttxt.exe mkpttxt.bak
del ttdpttxt.txt
cd\program files\WinRAR\
Winrar x -o+ "C:\My Downloads\Transport Tycoon\latestw.zip" *.* c:\games\ttdeluxe\
cd\games\ttdeluxe\
mkpttxt
ttdpatchw -a -C ttdpatch.cfg -W ttdpatch.cfg -vXr

It backs up ttdpatchw.exe and mkpttxt.exe to .bak files before overwriting them, so if an alpha is particularly buggy, I can switch back.

Older alphas are always available from http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/old/

Windows doesn't like two TTD installs because TTD has some registry variables, and of course you cannot have two sets of those.
