Howto apply a patch/diff file

[Maedhros]

No, the source I have is called 0.4.8-RC2.

Ah, you're going to need trunk code - a recent nightly should work. The 0.4 branch hasn't been updated, aside from bugfixes, for quite a while.

[iNVERTED]

Okay, I downloaded the latest nightly and it works. But it won't compile.

Code: Select all

rob@ubuntu:~/Desktop/OTTD-source-nightly-r5929$ make
Makefile:203: *** You need to have SDL installed in order to run OpenTTD on UNIX. Use DEDICATED if you want to compile a CLI based server.  Stop.
rob@ubuntu:~/Desktop/OTTD-source-nightly-r5929$

Any idea how I can install this SDL?

[Maedhros]

This wiki page should help you: http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Compi ... and_Ubuntu

[MeusH]

apt-cache search sdl

[iNVERTED]

Okay, so it compiled. But it refuses to run

I moved it from the folder with the source code to the folder with my savegames etc. Are there other files I need to move too?

If I try to run it from the terminal it says command not found O_o

[MeusH]

Try ./openttd instead of openttd. It's at least my common mistake

[iNVERTED]

Code: Select all

rob@ubuntu:~/openttd/OTTD-linux-i386-nightly-r5431$ ./openttd
MD5 of TRG1R.GRF is ****INCORRECT**** - File Corrupt.

MD5 of TRGHR.GRF is ****INCORRECT**** - File Corrupt.
MD5 of TRGTR.GRF is ****INCORRECT**** - File Corrupt.

rob@ubuntu:~/openttd/OTTD-linux-i386-nightly-r5431$

Hmm, so what's that all about?

The version I used before gave the same MD5 errors, but played just fine.

BTW: It's version 5929. The folder name is 5431 because that's where my savegames are and I cba'd to rename it

don't forget to copy lang files with executable

[iNVERTED]

Hurray! It works! And for some reason this fixed the sound effects (but not the music)! :D

Hello,
I got a problem with TortoiseSVN
I try to SVN Checkout and
then Type http://www.tt-forums.net/files/terragen ... _458.patch at URL type
and I press okay
this is what I got
Error PROPFIND request failed on '/file/terrgenesis_v3_458.patch'
Error PROPFIND on '/files/terragenesis_v3_458.patch': 403 Forbidden (http://www.tt-forums.net)

You need to put svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk for url.

Then download the patch you want from the forum, apply it to your working copy and finally compile the source.

[Shaq_1k]

Um... okay...thank
Sorry I ask again
I'm stuck at how do u download it?
Do u download to the Folder that put svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk for url?

[Sacro]

for downloading the patch file, use "wget" rather than "svn"

[Shaq_1k]

Um...
I'm not too bright
How do I download it, using Wget?

[glx]

Just download the patch as you download any other files from internet.

[Shaq_1k]

How do I patch the one that I download to OpenTTD?

[Wolf01]

boys, read the whole thread

you need:
- the sources
- a diff merger
- a compiler

i have an idea: to simplify the patching there are programs which patch the executable directly, is like a binary diff, you can patch multiple files and every kind of file...
the only problem is that you need to patch a certain revision to this patch and all other files like grfs should be identic, because the diff method (all developers know when conflicts happen patching the sources)

[DaleStan]

Not only does it have to be the same revision, it has to be the same compiler, the same libraries, and the same target.

OK, technically, it doesn't have to be any of those things, but without all three, the chances of having a compatible binaries are minimal at best.

So... i did read MeusH's post on the first page, but i still don't quite understand what i need to do. More specifically, i'm trying to apply the post elrails-patch to this speed signs patch over here, using TortoiseSVN. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help.

Edit: Erm, yeah, the patch might not work with anything remotely resembling a new version, so nevermind, i suppose. I just read that a new version is underway, anyways.

Hey,

I still don't know how to apply a patch or diff file to the game. I mean, when I click download on any of the files I get A LOT of code, but where am I supposed to put all this?

As you can see I am not the great programmer, could anyone dirrect through this step by step please?
