Nice one - I have sometimes missed this in the game.

Most of the time, I use OTTD as a 'virtual model train', so I just want to build extensive and complete networks and have trains running on them. I then often get frustrated by local authorities not allowing me to build an extra stop or demolish a piece of road. This tiny patch offers an extra cheat, that will always allow you these things, even if you have an appalling rating. The way your rating is calculated is NOT affected by the cheat.

Wow - me too - but I just plant trees on empty squares in case of disgruntal authorities.

There is also a Hostile/Permissive switch under difficulty settings...did you know that? Of course your patch is still quite useful because even in permissive you can have appaling rating... And those local "authorities" really don't know what's good for them. =)

Yeah, I know of these options and of the trees, and also about the benefits of urban buslines to improve ratings. But often I'm too impatient / lazy to make those lines or plant those trees

Here's a fix for the strgen_vs80.vcproj file. This should fix the MSVC problem reported in the problems thread by Simfield. This change was made in the trunk at r6105 but the change somehow got missed when the MiniIN was synced at r6125.

Edit: DONE - committed at r6383

1. Changes to depot finding code for YAPF (r6160) needs to check _patches.shared_depots and IsSisterCompany for subsidiaries.
2. Removed my temporary fix for depot finding problem as its not required now r6160 has been synced.

Edit: DONE - committed at r6384

Hi, thanks for taking the trouble, but for version 7.1 - using strgen.vcproj and langs.vcproj, rather than the _vs80-files - the problem continues. And I already checked if strgen.vcproj suffered the same "..\strings.c"-problem, but it doesn't

Hi, updating to release 6379 introduced an unresolved conflict. Hereby the updated patch, resolving this conflict. Functionality of the patch remains the same.

A couple of updates for the Drive-Through Road Stops patch:
1. The change made to the MiniIN at r5658 to prevent drive-through stops building a connecting road, also disabled the build sound effect and no longer closed the road stop selection window.

This is now fixed properly. Also, uses enum value rather than magic number.
2. Tidied up changes made by my patch in RoadFindPathToDest in roadveh_cmd.c, following sync with r6233.

Edit: DONE - committed at r6399

Yeah, general apologies for any new errors introduced with the recent sync with trunk. I had 26 files with conflicts on this latest sync, after dealing with about 15 files on the previous one.

So much has changed in trunk in the last 300 revisions - Im frankly amazed I could get it to compile and load anything!

If you spot anything, please dont hesitate to post a patch - even 1 liners are appreciated. Thanks All

Update for Copy&Paste Patch.

-small GUI update for increased usability
-internal Codechanges (Separated GUI Code from C&P Code)

Edit: DONE - committed at r6400

This is an update for the diagonal level crossings patch. It cleans up the code (and the indentation), and adds fences along the "free" side of the crossing to indicate that roads can't join up with it. It also adds a patch option which increases the savegame revision again. No-one seems to have objected to the lack of one so far though, so I suppose this could be left out.

Edit: Applied in r6401.

Maedhros · Post by **Maedhros** » 06 Sep 2006 09:25

When you next sync with trunk, you'll need to apply this patch for diagonal crossings because of Darkvater's change in r6406, which changes TileOffsByDir to TileOffsByDiagDir.

small patch for station-stats:
it shows how many vehicles visit a station per month, as well as average, minimum, maximum. (Small part of my original stats-patch)

Note that the number of scheduled vehicles for the station is not shown yet, even though the text already states it

Comments to the thread in the development-section please.
Thx in advance

Update for Distant-join & Adjacent Stations Patch.

Changes:
-Only own & sister-Company stations are listed in GUI
-Usage change: removed ALT Key, because it won't work on some OSs.
-CTRL + build shows the GUI.
-Without CTRL it is normal behavior + popup if adjacent to 2 different stations.

Note:
Currently copy&paste won't work correctly for diagonal rail-road-crossings.
But since this is very rarely used, it is not this important for now. (It would break the current template files)
At least nobody noticed it so far =)

I am currently trying to bring the MiniIN back into sync with trunk, but it is proving complex. The window widget system has changed, so all patches that have their own guis need recoding. Its doable - its just taking some time.

Currently I have synced up to current trunk, and have resolved the conflicts. However, I am still working on the guis. ETA sometime this weekend - maybe.

richk67: good luck with the sync, it will be nice to have the latest trunk features in the MiniIN.

If it’s any help, I have updated the trunk versions of my patches. Have a look at these if you are having problems with gui changes related to my work.

As I’m sure you’re aware, peter1138 has added cargo subtypes/livery refits to the trunk. He has made many improvements, so in case of conflicts use his code not mine.

I will keep a lookout for your updates and will post fixes if I find any problems.

Just for your information, tile measurement tool has been merged, so it's one patch less for you to care about

Congrats. I saw the forum thread got closed. I wont merge up to your commit until I have completed the current sync.

Following the latest MiniIN sync with the trunk, here is a patch that resolves a few remaining issues with the Cargo Subtypes patch due to removal of my version and the addition of peter1138's improved version.
1. Change to ensure that cloned vehicles are set to the correct cargo subtype (this has not yet been added to the trunk).
2. Revert of my change to save the cargo subtype. I had used a byte from the reserved bytes, peter1138's code has added a SLE_CONDVAR.
3. Removal of dead code from window.h

Edit: patch updated to r6947. No longer includes 1. as this was fixed during sync with trunk.

Edit: DONE at r6964, thanks glx
