MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS

MiniIN is now available on a three-times weekly multi-platform build.

PBS: Available from r5164: Hackykid has updated the old PBS to work with MiniIN. It is very much in-development, so expect bugs, expect savegames to not necessarily load, etc. Three cheers for Hackykid

The Mini IN Branch is Here: svn://svn.openttd.org/branches/MiniIN.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 2.00am CEST, 1.00am BST, 12.00am UTC, the compile farm does its magic wonders, and out pops all the multi-platform versions of MiniIN you could want. (If it compiles that is

)

Download the latest MiniIN executables for your platform at http://nightly.openttd.org/MiniIN/files/. This includes dedicated server versions.

The current patch list is (in patches/MiniINpatches.txt):

Open Offer to All Patch Devs
If you want to help get the project further along towards a massively inclusive version that can then be used as a baseline, simply find a patch in the pending (or other) lists, and update it to work with a MiniIN checkout. Send me the patch, and if it works, I'll include it.

It is not enough that it applies; for me to accept the patch in, it MUST compile without errors or warnings, and work.

What's the deadline for getting a patch to you for inclusion? I might see if I can get a clean and up-to-date signals on bridges patch together, plus I've got another patch I'm working on feverishly.

I plan on a mini-release with whatever is working on Sunday night (9/4), and a larger release with any extra patches over Easter weekend.

Note that due to config options now being saved, any later patches with config settings will break any games started with the IN mini.

hey man, can you put the plane-speed patch in and the subsidiary companies patch too! - those 2 and the airports are all i really want

TY!

If it works, it goes in, so its up to the original developer of the subsidiaries patch (which I think is up to date), and the plane-speed/plane queuing patch.

If you like, we can add your code to a branch (I can supply that) and add your branch to, say, a weekly-build sequence like the OpenTTD-nightlies do. This means you get binaries to several targets, from Windows to MacOSX. Just contact me if you are interested.

Yeah that sounds really nice.

Yeah that sounds really nice.

I second that, that's very nice idea.

However, I think it's a good time to start checking and merging user-made patches, like richK67's airports. There should be no bugs in these, but if there are some, someone may just do a quick codechange...

I agree wholehartedly.
It would be very nice to see all the patches, that have been proven bugless in the year use in the Integrated nightly build, included.

I'm just dying to see my improved_smooth_economy patch and diesel_smoke patch included, both being totally configurable and all...

Now I'm off to finally upgrade them to a current nightly...

I would agree, but in the last 2 months, there have been 900+ updates, and some are major, so in a sense the testing clock gets reset again to now.

Great. I look forward to adding them. If you notice any map accessors etc in your code that you can change, it always helps. Makes the devs even happier

Hi. Yes, it sounds good, but... I am unsure I want to take on the workload of maintaining the current status for all the patches. However, it could make the changes more minor, and opens up the IN to a wider platform base. I'll talk online with you about it.

I think it's impossible and too much of extra work to expect you to care for all the users' patches, richk67. The patches' authors should update them themselves, otherwise it just won't be possible to include them...
Like TrueLight said - it would be perfectly possible for you to care about the Integrated nightly on a weekly basis if patches were up to date.

With that said - I'm going to update my now.

P.S.: Does anyone know which revision the 0.4.7 OTTD is? I could also make them available for it as I have for 0.4.0.1 if anyone wants to test...

r4121

gigajum · Post by **gigajum** » 08 Apr 2006 12:54

remember: you need to update your patch to the latest SVN revision, not to the latest release version. The latest revsion is ~4320

Anyway, i took your patch file and updated it to the latest SVN version. I'm almost done. Some gui parts need to be checked and corrected. I think i'm done within the next few hours with updating the patch from r2912.

SirkoZ · Post by **SirkoZ** » 08 Apr 2006 16:31

Thank you for the revision number, MeusH.

Way ahead of ya, gigajum, updated to r4321.

Industry is updated, now for the other 2.....diesel_smoke too.....now tinkering with smoother_acceleration...

gigajum · Post by **gigajum** » 08 Apr 2006 16:54

eheh

i only need to update from SVN ...

anyway i had to add all from r4317 new, and check if there are some errors, and i'm nearly finished. it works but there are some things left from the diff file.

But if you're finished with updating it attach the patch somewhere to get others the chance to test it. I recognized some bugs while testing the functions myself. One bug showed when i replaced a train with another. The orders in the replaced trains didn't match the original.

Jango · Post by **Jango** » 08 Apr 2006 22:56

the longer patches are kept separated from the main trunk, the more unlikely they are to ever make the trunk. Surely at some point we need a drive to add a bunch of useful user patches rather than just ignoring them?

Would it be possible to have a release set aside (0.4.

for these small tweaks and improvements? Then they can be fully tested and then improve the rate of progress within OpenTTD as whole.

Much as I think OpenTTD is great, I do sometimes think it can be far too much effort to get small and useful patches accepted by the devs...(who i appreciate are VERY busy)... so rather than increase workload for the devs, why not set aside some time in the future for appeasing the user base?

SirkoZ · Post by **SirkoZ** » 08 Apr 2006 23:19

A very good point and I agree wholly - I have been of the same opinion for quite some time now...

MeusH · Post by **MeusH** » 09 Apr 2006 09:55

I also agree. It has been said that patch-merging time will come after 0.4.5.

I know 0.4.6 and 0.4.7 were urgent bugfix releases, but It's the right time to remind about the patches.

Developers certainly want this kind of developement, but they must devote their time to check all possible events happening because of the patch.

On the other hand, they don't need to worry about it that much. Why? Because these patches exist very long, also in "Integrated nightly", which proves they are bug free.

However, if this isn't a valid argument pro- merging user-made patches, there is still one more. Revisions: If something goes wrong, the contribution may be reverted.

IMO if one patch gets merged each 4 days, and 4 developers are involved in merging them, each developer has 16 days to prepare to merge next patch.

Also, the may be other arguments not to merge a patch: some kind of limits, and lack of turn-off option.

This is why I think "more smoke" patch has less chanches to be merged, because each smoke puff uses vehicle slot. But "smooth economy" doesn't drain more memory, and it is configurable, so expect this in a merge-me list.
