New cargo help please

[Geo Ghost]

ok, im having a few problems (or confusions) with the New Cargo set. If you want me to be specific... All of it! A-Z!
One problem is, i cant find the 'New Cargos' switch. which sort of, messes most of it up.
Because i installed ttdp on this computer a long, long time ago (a44 i think it was) and i havnt really been paying much attenion to the updates, im pretty far behind everybody.
Could some PERSON (Meaning, not a manual) explain simply the things that must be done.
Explain to me like im a newbie (and dont say i am one, even for joke )

Well, thanks for any help you guys can give.
Also, i do apologies if i annoy the hell out of someone by asking, probably a really obvious question!

You could start by updating to the latest version of TTDPatch.

If you want me to be specific... All of it! A-Z!

That's not specific. Not even remotely.
What error message(s) are you getting?
What is happening that shouldn't be?
What isn't happening that should be?
What have you tried that didn't work?

ok, Cargo sets arnt operating.
it says it needs newcargo=on or something, but i cant find that anywhere
iv'e tried a few basic things, like testing temperate, and alpine, checking the new industries, and even typing in 'newcargo=on' in the ttpatch.cfg

Thats just about everything i think. bit more to it, but im afraid i cant remember ATMIT. sorry

Opps, im sorry. i ment a56.
I must have done a typo there. apologies everyone

[DaleStan]

typing in 'newcargo=on' in the ttpatch.cfg

The wiki might explain why that isn't working. (hint: newtrains, newrvs, newships, newplanes, &c.)

You do know how to get TTDPatch to write a new config file, right?
(ttdpatch[w] -!T- -W ttdpatch.cfg)

yes, it was named 'newcargos=on'
And, i dont get what you mean by writing a new config file.

I shall be back tommorow evening as im getting a little tired now and i got a big day tommorow

[DaleStan]

And, i dont get what you mean by writing a new config file.

Writing a config file that preserves all your current settings and produces a new line for each switch that doesn't appear in your config, setting the switch to its default value.

erm, i still dont get you. Im sorry
Iv'e downloaded, extracted the grf's, activated the grf's, put in 'newcargos=on' in the ttdpatch thing (as its not in the ttdx config') so what now?

Code: Select all

newbridges=on
newcargodistribution=on
newcargos=on
newhouses=on
newindustries=on

Just delete your ttdpatch.cfg file and start ttdpatch.
The patch then will create a new ttdpatch.cfg file, with all the settings set to its default setting.

[Geo Ghost]

ok, dont worry, its all working now
Cheers for your help all

I am also having trouble with the newcargos switch.
I have activated the switch, added the grf and it still gives me an error:

Code: Select all

Error: newgrf/NEWCARGOS.GRF is designed to be used with newcargos

and I get the same message with paperw when starting a game.

This is a part of my ttdpatchw.cfg, and as you can see, newcargos is on.
I use TTDxC latest (2.6.5).

Code: Select all

newbridges=on
newcargodistribution=off
newcargos=on
newhouses=on
newindustries=off

I have not had any problems with the new patches or grfs before.
I've tried searching through the wiki, but I have not yet found a solution. Can anybody (not a manual refrence, please) please help me?

Thanks

[Patchman]

This is a part of my ttdpatchw.cfg

Make sure it's ttdpatch.cfg, not ttdpatchw.cfg!

[michael blunck]

Make sure it's ttdpatch.cfg, not ttdpatchw.cfg!

It should be if the next error message would be:

Code: Select all

Error: newgrf/NEWCARGOS.GRF is designed to be used with newindustries

Michael

[Marius]

Make sure it's ttdpatch.cfg, not ttdpatchw.cfg!

I cannot believe I did such an idiotic mistake! All this time I thought it was supposed to be ttdpatch[w].cfg, and it's not...! damn.
I didn't think the patch worked on my comp, cause none of the new features worked, but when your adding the new features to the wrong file, what do you expect...

thnx a bunch

[Patchman]

Yes, confusingly, that's about the only file that has the same name for both DOS and Windows.

[cmd_srui]

well I am having a problem with these new industries.

I build the buoy (holding CNTR) near a fishing ground... and i send a ship refitted for carrying fish... and it does not load.
Furthermore... I cannot build a brewery anywere....

[Rob]

It takes a while before the fishing grounds start producing fish, because there is no buildstage of the fishing grounds.
When a new industry is placed it takes about two months before it starts producing.

The brewery has to be placed nearly in the center of a town, with at least 448 inhabitants.
