a suggestion: Maybe a looping year at 2000 or so?
It was at 2070 but it was deleted so we can play till 3000+
So if the game could loop at 2070 it musn't be that hard to change that to 2000?

no .... I now thinking abotu to playing to 3k year with electric railways ... guess what be the inflation in 3000 year

peaz · Post by **peaz** » 03 Apr 2003 17:18

buy A LOT of trains in 2000 keep them in a depot, cuz you dont need them and after .... that wont work never mind

maybe buy just a huge pile of passengers cars etc. there cheaper and then you only need to buy a loc...

If I look at the grf file, it is image #176. It is 3 pixels wide, and so is it in the nfo file:
Code: Select all
176 C:\TTWIN95\NEWGRF\SPRITES\SIGNALSW.pcx 594 136 01 24 3 0 -22
The xpos/ypos coordinates are right too. Something else might be the problem

new .. fixed signals are ready to download ...

I don't have that bug, my semaphores work normally.

BTW, do the semaphores disappear in 1975, and change automatically to presigs?

Try it

The semaphores stay, new signals after '75 are normal signals, so you get a mix, but they work the same

It's no different except they're a little hard to see on the elctrified railway tracks

Too sad...

But there's a way, if you make things like this:
1. FOUR folders called TemperB1975, TemperA1975, ArcticB1975, ArcticA1975.

2. To Before folders, put signalsw.grf, After folders presigw.grf

3. Four differend .BAT and newgrfw.txt files

I guess you know what i'm talking about

If not, just ask

Does this also happen in new games?

No on the 1st

Yes on the 2nd

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 07 Apr 2003 00:17

In that case, please post your ttdpatch.cfg and newgrf.txt, because it doesn't happen for me.

EDIT: Added CFG

For some reason, those trucks are actually the double decker busses when I load the game...

Unfortunately, I can't find out what's going on from this savegame. Would be have one just before the AI buys these vehicles? Otherwise I can't investigate why it bought them like this. I'd also like to see your newgrf.txt in that case.

Oskar has found the place where TTD handles keyboard input, which allows us to add more hotkeys to the game. He added the 't' hotkey, which toggles transparent buildings on and off. Then I've gone and added hotkeys for all the tools in the rail and road toolbars. I'm not quite sure how this works with other language versions and keyboard layouts yet, but it should be the keys from 1 through 0, as well as "-", "=" and "\" that select all the build tools. In addtion, the tilde key will toggle the bulldozer.

In the case that these keys don't work too well for you, you can customize them using the ttdpttxt.txt file and mkpttxt.exe. There, you'll find a new entry for the "hotkeylist", which is the keys for each of the two toolbars for railroad and road building.

I've also gone back to improving the electrified railways feature, which still is only about 80% done. Now it will show the proper title and menu entry in the build menu, and the icons will be correct. What I still need to do is add support for tunnels and bridges, as well as improve the placement algorithm for the pylons somewhat.

The people working on new graphics may be interested in the new action 0A, which allows you to replace any sprite of TTD with one of yours, without any additional logic having to be written into the game. This is somewhat similar to GRFDiff/GRFMerge, except that it'll be part of the newgrf mechanism.

The bug allowing you to lower the terrain under a tunnel has been removed. You can still build crossing tunnels, but lowering the terrain is no longer supported because it can make the game very unstable.

Also, the mailing list should work properly again, I've changed the redirects of ttdpatch.com, so you can once again use ttdpatch@ttpdatch.com to send messages to the list.

Have fun!

All changes in 1.9.1 alpha 37 (April 7, 2003):

support replacing any arbitrary TTD sprite number with new sprites
show correct sprites and various texts in elec.rail and maglev build menu
reworked newgrf loading functions
grf errors should now have \80 not \7c
show TTDPatch version in generated ttdpatch.cfg file
fix bug with selling dualheaded engines when multihead is off (couldn't sell second head)
loadallgraphics is no longer turned on by default
fixed bug with trains leaving depot towards northeast lose all waggons if they have a tender
fixed bug allowing to lower terrain below tunnel
by Oskar: more hotkeys available; 't' toggles transparency
more hotkeys: 1 to 0, -, =, \ choose build tool, ` toggles bulldozer
tenders no longer show a capacity of 0 passengers
fixed bug where trains with tenders lost wagons after reversing
introduced new action 0A
