Newstatsw help

Post by Lostintheplot »

I've added the grf to the file, but the readme says I need to put "Newstations on" in it as well to activate various bits and bobs. Despite numerous tries, I can't get that activated. What do I need to write and where??

First you need to get TTDPatch (the new stations doesn't work in OTTD, yet)

Then read the FAQs in the apropriate section of the forum :D

I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you. Spoilers and bodykits are how much of the wall you take with you. Rollcages and windownets are how much of a mess you leave on the wall.

That is newstations, but it's just the waypoints part. And IIRC Born Acorn is one of the few people to have used the OpenTTD with newstations.

But yes, newstations proper are not available. Yet.
He's like, some kind of OpenTTD developer.

I didn't say they were stations. The name of the topic is newstatsw, which includes the waypoints that work in OTTD. gkirilov said newstatsw didn't work in OTTD, and then I corrected that by pointing out only the waypoints do.

I knew that. It's just that I think Lostintheplot wasn't asking for this kind of stations :lol: .

TTDP doesn't even have waypoints... so how could those be part of newstatsw.grf?
those are still not stations though.

Actually, they are.
Here are screenshots of many newstatsw.grf waypoints in TTDPatch

alternatively, here is a screenshot of one of my own waypoints in TTDPatch

TTDPatch has had waypoints (via the nonstop switch) far longer than it's had new graphics support.

Um... Yes it does, and yes they are.

We just don't see the point in limiting ourselves to 1x1 waypoints, and so we build waypoints the same way we would build any other station.

And waypoints are, quite simply, stations with the "this is a bouy" bit set. That bit means that cargo is neither accepted nor collected, and that vehicles cannot stop there.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.
