I thought I would share this with you

Roadmap for BuildOTTD version 1.0.0 as of 9-May-2007

An optional user interface for the absolute beginner with lots of helping text in numbered steps.
[DONE] Compatibility with the old make system.
A target folder where the finished builds is copied to. Ex. My OTTD in My Documents.
With this follows the ability to grab the needed files from any existing TT install specified.
Each subfolder in My OTTD would be named after the branch/revision/patch/date/time.
An options panel
[DONE] An about box
[DONE] Getting the output from make to a logfile
General UI polish
Bugfixes

Comments welcome

Edit: updated list, some progress and one fixed item.

Sounds good

Tried this patch in combination with passenger destination patch. Svn checked out fine.

But compile failed. I added the logs from that run.

After that, I uninstalled BuildOttd. Deleted everything C:\BuildOttd in the folder. And then reinstalled BuildOttd. When I then compiled it succeded.

As a suggestion: Could you make the progressbar more usefull, e.g. an indication to how far the progress is.

I couldn't recreate the error, but from the patch.log it seems that your codebase was somehow compromised. Maybe someone wiser than me knows the cause of that

I wish I could. If I were to base the progress bar on the progress I can measure, the progress bar would start with only a small step forward and then stand still for a long time and then suddenly finish. That is not useful at all so I decided that an indicator that the program was working on the job at hand was better.

Mind the version number, I forgot to change it. Doesn't matter though.

I think it is sweet that your installer takes 10mb off the size of the download

version 0.1.4 in first post now

I downloaded the latest version and I tried this:

I hoped I did it right but when I pressed the 'Update and Compile' button it took a while to produce only a 'Can't Compile' error. Where did I go wrong?

The patch is too old to be applied to the revision you are trying to patch against. Try checking "Force revision to match patch"

Didn't work either, but now I tried the svn setting on trunk instead of 0.5 and that worked. Now where is the output file...

CMircea · Post by **CMircea** » 10 May 2007 17:54

I'll update the installer shortly.

EDIT: http://www.playmenow.org/BuildOTTD/BuildOTTD_Setup.exe

And please next time don't put up an MSI, just compress them in something like 7zip and I'll make the installer (I use InnoSetup, here's the project file: http://www.playmenow.org/BuildOTTD/BuildOTTD.iss).

If you installed to C:\BuildOTTD then you will find the output in:
C:\BuildOTTD\msys\home\ottdsrc\trunk\bin

Edit: r7120 might be old enough to be using the old makefile system, if that is the case just forget the last "\bin" and try your luck with finding the relevant files in the mess

All the files needed is there except the data files from original TTD.

It is a planned feature to copy the output to somewhere nice determined by the user

0.5 is newer than your patch, also patches are made for trunk most of the time, not for branches.

It all worked! Amazing program!

Indeed it would be nice to specify the location of the output files and to be able to have some order in the file mess it put out.

Ooh yes! I'm going to compile every usefull patch that is around here somewhere and try them all out. The face thingy is real good.

I hope I can put it into good use of somesort.
