Hi, Im looking for a better tool to change the settings of the patch.
Is there another one apart from the one here?

You mean the ttdpatch starter? Well if you don't want that, just edit it yourself

It's not that hard...

... not next patch ... only new TPS....
(this things are two separate tools TP for TTD, TPS for TP)

and why TPS is slow in your opinion ?

I downloaded this tool ... and my opinion
- it is 1.5 MB !!! [TPS is 300-500 kb]
- you need download it again when new TTDPatch is realesed [with TPS you only downloading 2-5 kb update]
- some options are unavabile (like changing 'signcheat') [TPS can recognize obosolete switches and not introduced yet]
- I can save odd values ... like 'disasters -1')[in TPS you can't]
- I can change edit my own creepy options.. just enter 'asdfasd' instead of 'Yes')[in TPS you can't]
- Hints in status bar not working)[in TPS works correctly]
- everything depends on author )[in TPS you can customize many things and also change TTD options]

About when can we expect the new TPS (not stressing you, just curious).

this is the worse

... I stopped working on it during my work (last three weeks) but now I will probaby take doing it again ... but I don't know when ... there are many things to test again coz much part of source code was rewrited

Filesize isn't an opinion. It's a fact.

Here is the tool you have requested. TTDX Configurator. Totally fool-proof program (not calling u a fool, no).

Yes .... indeed it is very good tool ... and nice looking .... but I is very rarely releasing .... (the best would be if it be released when new switch is released) and sometimes I don't have full configurations (as I want) for example with planecrashcontrol ....

I put here a quote from Josef''s post from newsgroup:

Josef at newsgroup wrote: That's why I put "undo" in quotes. It will just restore the original TTD
graphics, but only for those graphics that its corresponding exe file
changed. So it's not really an "undo", but rather a "restore to original
graphics".

To do that, you'd need to:
- run grfdiff -n to see what sprites are different
- run grfdiff <new.grf> <old.grf> -x -o newgrf.exe
- run grfdiff <old.grf> -l <spritenums> -x -o undo_newgrf.exe

For <new.grf> and <old.grf> you substitute the filename of the modified
and backup grf files, respectively. <spritenums> must be the number of
sprites that "grfdiff -n" reported as changed.

So TPS could manage graphics if there would be backuped EXE files ....
any other option is option that TPS could crateing those backup EXE's but then I need to created grfcodec plugin for it

AND the reading of the manual. I gave up on the programs when they never kept up with latest alpha...

Gspot · Post by **Gspot** » 17 Mar 2003 19:41

Those of use who speak english as a first langauge are lucky. It's the hardest to learn. There has to be 100 exeptions to every rule.

The site looks great. (Except for the pop-up, of course
