Bug with AI companies

Hi, It's the second time I had this
I play with 7 AI opponents and all goes well, but suddenly after about 30 years they stop building new stations
You can see enormous activity at several places on the map where the land gets raised and levelled
Can you please try this savegame of me and tell me if that happens too
I already sent this to the Patchman , but he's very busy

I'm playing alpha 34, Windows version, I included my config file, it's the tempsetw.grf file you need in your newgrf.txt
Thanks

They already have HQ's and that's normal
About the plane, it means the route between 2 airports isn't optimal, it just zigzags, so that's not the problem

Have you seen the strange land levelling/raising ?

Yes I see it ... I tried to buy all companies ... .but new one also was stuck (he didn't build even a HQ)

I think I found it

All trains, trucks, busses and planes of my company and the 7 AI companies in total is 240 (this number rings a bell)

My config file says:
ships 240
planes 240
roadvehs 240
trains 240

So do these switch apply to all vehicle types ?
This has to be a bug with the limit of vehicles combined with the AI creating new ones

I sold 2 of my trains and behold, one AI company bought 2 busses

Can this be fixed ?

... maybe .... we must wait .... but I always thought that planes 240 means that every company can have max 240 planes ...

If this doesn't get an answer, I won't play it anymore

Unfortunately trying to figure out these kinds of problems is very time consuming. Sorry I didn't have the chance to look at it yet... don't know when I will either.

Shadow is right though, each company should be able to have 240 trains etc., not all companies in total. However I loaded the game, and some computers did buy more busses, so I'm not sure if that really is the problem anyway.

Spiff ... try with default ttdpatch.cfg .... (Patchman is using default)

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 24 Mar 2003 01:30

Actually, no, I was using Spiff's config file. So that's not it...

Thanks , if what you say is true, then I have a real problem
Whatever could be causing this ?
You play it and the AI is buying busses and for me not
This is a real setback, I really enjoyed the game working with the AI
Has no one else reported this kind of problem yet ?
Perhaps I should re-install the game ?
