TGP - Merged

[hertogjan]

It's not a bug, as far as I can observe. When creating a savegame, the settings are stored in the savegame file. If you save your game again, and load it, then the problem should be solved. (If not, then it is a bug).
Note that changing a setting in-game does not affect the "global" settings (which are stored in the openttd.cfg file and are used for new games). You can change those "global" setting before you start a new game in the opening screen. Those settings do not affect settings that are stored in a savegame.

I hope that this clarifies the problem a bit.

[Pot Head]

Thanks for the explaniation hertogjan.

Yep changing and saving was all fine.

Just a bit annoying for me as I expected it to save in the global.
I guess this is done this way for the sake of scenarios.

Maybe someone could add a button in the ingame menu for the game option to save as default. Would be a nice touch.

If I could I would. LOL

Thanks for the help.

Rob

All of this discussion about oil well and platforms is a bit academic since the maps TGP come up with hardly ever seem to have any oil refineries. A quick test seems to suggest that they only ever come up on about half the time - and if you set the water level to high then they virtually never appear.

Looks like TGP maps never have any land close enough to the edge of the map.

[richk67]

Looks like you missed the "max distance from edge for oil refineries" option in the Construction panel of configure options. Unlike original OTTD (distance 16), TGP allows a distance up to 48 tiles in from the map edge. But you can choose what that distance is. Personally I prefer about 24-32.

Hi,

I just tried the Windows version ( OTTD-win32-TGP-r5818-TGP.zip ) under Windows 2000 and got the following error-message when I attempted to start:

openttd.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library dbghelp.dll

After that, the program ended.

My dbghelp file in C:\WINNT\system32 is version 5.0.2195.6613 . I also have MSVC 6 installed on my machine (this may or may not affect the dbghelp.dll file in some way, but I thought I'd mention it anyway).

Also, OpenTTD 0.4.7 works just fine on my machine.

Does the same happen when you try to run the latest nightly (http://nightly.openttd.org/)?

Although I've not been able to get the current TGP version to run on my machine, I have a suggestion for map-generation.

When the town-names are being created, would it be possible for it to generate names of multiple nationalities in the same map depending on the region? For example, it would divide the map into 4 squares. The towns in the top-left square would have English names, the top right square would have towns with Swedish names, the bottom left would have Spanish town-names, and Turkish names in the bottom right. Of course, the map could be divided into any number of squares, or rectangles, or even user-defined shapes. This should be easy to implement (just check the co-ordinates of the town centre when assigning a name). A somewhat harder to implement version of the above is for the map-generator to use rivers, valeys or mountains to divide the nationalities of the town-names, or even give each island (in an island-based map) it's own nationality of town-names.

This would be a good first step in giving each region of the map some form of regional identity. It would give players who like concentrating on a particular area of the map a 'home-area' to chose from. In co-operative multiplayer games, each player can chose the town-name-language of their area of concentration.

On large maps, it is easier to guess the area by being able to tell the nationality of the town-name. If a subsidy offer comes up, I can instantly tell if it's anywhere near where I'm trying to build up a network just by being able to see the nationality of the town-names involved. Otherwise, I'd have to check the mini-map to find out where the towns are (and for large maps, this involves additional scrolling to see where the towns are in relation to the rest of the map).

If we're going to have lots of new town-name-languages, at least let the map generator have some means of mixing them.

You need dbghelp.dll 5.1 the least. You can get this from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ ... llx86.mspx

Or can someone attach his windows XP dbghelp.dll file here? Just download it and put it into your OpenTTD directory.

I added dbghelp to this build of TGP to try and find bugs easier on release builds, but misread that the function only works with the dll file supplied with Windows XP. My apologies for that.

I just went to the microsoft page, but you can only download the entire debugging tools package that comes with an installer, and not the individual dll.

I would appreciate it if someone did that. Would using the WinXP dbghelp.dll cause problems on Win2K even if I place it in my OpenTTD directory instead of the WINNT directory?

Well, I've run a few heightmaps through the scenario generator and that side of things seems to work well. Haven't noticed anything seriously wrong though.

btw, if anyone's interested, I've posted the scenario maps I made from the heightmap - a detailed map of the UK.

"Dedicated server could not be launched. Aborting".

This is a known & fixed fact. If you can compile it yourself; the latest revision of the TGP branch should work.

[Darkvater]

/me hits himself in the head with a big stone...

I did not save the debug database of the windows TGP build, so all crash.dmp files are useless. Mainly because even if I check out branches/TGP r5181 I cannot generate the same binary as I supplied to TrueLight.

Even more, it seems ever build (rebuild all), produces a slightly different binary. Is this normal for a compiler?

All I can say about the crashes is that they happen in GetSlopeZ(), landscape.c:163.

Ah, cheers. I would recompile it if I had a C compiler! - If I had the time I'd dust off my C programming skills and have a poke around myself. Problem is time, the lack of it

Could this be the aircraft shadow (off edge of map) bug that was introduced in the trunk at r5794 and fixed at r5841?
