I do intend to put the town names on the website. However, the problem you mentioned is a coding bug, we also had that problem with the Japanese names and the US names as well. There is a relatively recent fix for it, in that the Japanese town names do not have this problem anymore, and it should be fixed. The Dutch team is wanting to use your town names GRF as an example for their own, so we should be sure to mention this so they don't have the same problem.

I do like the articulated vehicles and would love to see trams. There still isn't a complete tram set for an environment, maybe this would be the first. But we should finish what we have started before going on anything new, I think.

Indeed, there are still 3 or 4 steamers to be done yet.
After that, there is a longer work ahead with freight cars. I saw some graphics from the Czech set that are the same as some Spanish freight cars (boxcars and hoppers)
I'll ask them for them soon.

Once I'm done with steamers, I'll begin gathering information about trams.

http://www.tt-forums.net/download.php?id=49501

NOTE: I don't know why, but the game may crashed while starting a new game.
:arrow: Anyway you'd better try it without the japanese town names.
:arrow: If the problem still exist, try again. (I'll try to get the anwser for this problem)


:arrow: Sanchimaru: I found that the game change it to german after leaving a game, but I don't konw how to fix it. right now I'm working on the crashes.

I've found a problem with the new file:
it generates 2 equal names, see screenshot. It's from a new random generated map.
Other than that, I experienced no crashes...

The fact that the list is unsorted suggests that town names were generated without the spanish town name grf active. That will lead to such problems.

Looks like a bug in the patch. I think I'll let Csaba investigate, he wrote the town name code.

Here's the Japanese town names GRF. I don't know about the sorting issue, or about GRF coding - simply that, for me, the Japan town names do stay around when you save and reload a game.

Thanks, Patchman :D

:arrow: Sancimaru: that's a common problem with the randomize,
I found it too in the Japanese town names, (see the picture below).
I changed the random bits in the Spanish town names, so download it again and tell me whether it still exist.

:arrow: Krtaylor: The Spanish names will saved too, when saving a game. The problem we're talking about is when you set the Spanish names and start a new game, the game won't save the town names if you begin a new game again. This problem is exist in the Japanese names too.
The problem is probably in the patch as Patchman wrote.

For what it's worth, I added the town names to the tech site.

At some point, we need a pretty site, like I have for the US set and Japan set. Any thoughts or volunteers? If someone wants to follow the same pattern I used with the others, I've got all the HTML, and of course I can host the result. Otherwise, I could make one, but I'm awfully busy these days and I'd rather not. Plus, I don't know much about what it should look like, having never been to Spain.

I'll look for pictures to help creating the site, but I can't do one myself :(

In the mean time, we have a new locomotive halfway done:

282 Garrafeta (english "Garrat")

I am planning to give animated sprites to it; but I was drawing it all the afternoon, so I decided to post it here.
As for the coding, I'd like to ask a special feature: to have it coded with the new reversing engine device: where the train reverses direction without having to flip; so that the locomotive is pushing the train, rather than pulling it.

Csaba has fixed this now, it should properly properly in the next nightly (r410 or higher). Or you can fix it by turning off displaytownsize until then.

Excellent! the patch team is always doing such a nice work! thanks :]

Ah, I noticed yesterday a very slight bug in the town names file:
Some words use the unique spanish letter ñ Ñ (N tilde, should look like a N with a ~ over it)
For example, suffix "-de la Peña" is currently displayed as "-de la Pena"

Not quite a big bug, but Spanish town names must surely have this unique character. In that one case, the meaning of the word goes from "of the rock" to "of the pity" without the proper Ñ ;)

Well, it's not a bug. It's just how I'd writen them. I can fix it but I need a list of the mistakes and how it should be (forgive me, I don't know spanish...).

I have checked my files, and I have realized that I had 2 versions, one of which didn't include the N tilde (and I don't know the reason)
There are only 2 words with ñ, both suffixes:

de la Cañada
de la Peña

Sorry for the inconvencience!

I had also 2 questions about the town names, but this might be too hard:
> Is it possible to have different groups of name parts to form the names?
For example: we have a list like this
Preffixes: A,B,C,1,2,3
Suffixes: a,b,c,!,",#
When forming a name A,B and C will only combine with a,b and c:
Aa, Ab, Ac, Ba, Bb, Bc, Ca, Cb, Cc
And 1,2 and 3 only with !, " and #: 1!, 1", 1#, 2!, 2", 2#, 3!, 3", 3#

My idea is to have not only castilian town names, but also catalan and basque. To make it look good, I would need the different groups not to be able to mix with each other.
This takes me to the next question:
> Is it possible to have different town names for different soil types? In the tropical climate of TTD, wet and desert soils can sustain different industries. Also in arctic climate, the level of the snow determines which industries can be built or not.
I was wanting to have a unique climate for Spain made. It would feature mediterranean and continental zones. Some industries could be built only in one of these zones, as the ones mentioned before.
So, I'd like the town names to work as follows:
For the mediterranean zone, group1 (castilian, the ones we already have) and group2 (catalan) would appear randomly, never mixing words from group 1 and 2, only choosing from within one of them. Thus creating either a castilian name or a catalan name.
Then, for the continental zone, group1 (same castilian as above) and group3 (basque), again working the same way as before.

I hope you understand what I mean ^^U
I know this might be very hard to do, but I thought that it would look real nice.

Yes.

No, as far as I know. We can ask the TTDP developers for making it available, but I'm afraid it's a lot of working. Anyway, I can make town names for each climate, if you like.

I knew that the soil-based thing would be hard... but the fact that we can have different name groups is excellent!!
In that case, we can try to have a version with 3 groups on it. But that will take time, since I haven't a list for basque and catalan names yet.

But this is quite good news!
