To receive help, please answer the following:

Which version of the patch? ["Latest" is not a version!]
What do you mean by "crash"?
Why can't you upload a crash log?

1. alpha 48, iknow that latest isn't an answer
2. crash as in complete system freeze needing a manual restart
3. because it can't produce one.

OK, I wouldn't call that a "crash" (which is what's usually meant when the program terminates and you go back to the desktop) but a "hang".

In any case, my guess would be that some of the graphics files you have are not the same version as what Jim was using. Now that shouldn't cause a hang, and that it does is a bug in TTDPatch.

Alternatively, your download of the scenario may be bad, try downloading them again and see if it helps.

I can't reproduce the hang though, even with your config files, but I don't even have half the .grf files you are using. So it's probably because of one or more of your .grf files. Try removing them from newgrfw.cfg and then re-adding them one by one and see which one causes the problem.

Please do report what you find, because this is a bug in TTDPatch and needs to be fixed even if you can work around it.

Make a ZIP file of the entire contents of your newgrfs directory, and post it here.

well, i think i did post the zip of all my newgrf's (i.e the whole folder), but i tried to load the indutrial scenario but crashed it, without all the long vehicle's. so jim, would you like to update YOUR grf's? i know that noone else has had problems but you might find them to be better, especially since they are now 2 versions ahead of you. anway, i'm at school atm so will post zip later.

You mean, Jim is not using Long Vehicles v. 3, but rather an older version?

SkeedR · Post by **SkeedR** » 12 Apr 2005 15:11

yes, he is using v1. heres my zip.

[edit] it won't upload. please help.

Since they are scenarios and don't have any vehicle, I don't see how the vehicle sets should make a difference anyway.

House and industry sets, however, would be important to get right, for example the TTRS version should match.
