The Passegers Destination - how to?

[jirik]

Hi,
at first: I searched a lot, but I did not find.

Can anybody help me how to add Passengers Destinations to OpenTTD? I use version 0.6.2.1 on Kubuntu 8.04.
They are some post in forum, but nothing concrete.

Thanks a lot.

Passenger destination isn't part of OpenTTD 0.6.2. There is an old patch in the development section (also in multiple patchpacks), but that one is very unstable in multiplayer. A new patch is developed by peter1138 and Celestar at the moment. You'll have to wait some time before it ends up in trunk. If you want it now, you can try downloading a patchpack that includes it.

REALLY?!

I thought pax dest was dead. Is this official?

Well best of luck to those developing it. I know passenger destinations is one of those thats been a pain...so a big thumbs up to those who are giving it another go.

And I like the screenshot thread too. Look forward to trying the patch one day.

[Purno]

Absolutely. Passengers-have-Destinations sounds very interesting, so a big bow to those who try to implement it

We all know this is future of OTTD, please keep developing!

Thanks to all, I downloaded Roest's patch pack and it is not bad. It still need develop, so go go go Big thanks to developers of these patchs, they are very good.

There is the last missing feature from Simutrans: Lines. I know about Shared Orders, but it is not perfect. Lines in Simutrans are the best way I think.

Where did you get that cargodest patch/whatever?

[Roujin]

As I also posted in that thread, you'll need to install Mercurial (a decentralized version control system), also some third party libraries ("Boost", to be specific, you need only the Graph parts of it), and then using mercurial, pull from one of the devs working on it (mainly peter1138 and Celestar).
I strongly suggest to connect to the openttd IRC channel to get started (also to know where to pull from..).

If you're not willing and/or able to do the complicated stuff involving Mercurial and Boost, you may want to keep your eyes open for news from the openttdcoop guys. Last thing I know is that they wanted to hold a test of cargodest on their devserver, so they might be providing a svn .diff or even binaries.

[CommanderZ]

Why don't they use the SVN?

[Roujin]

Because centralized version control systems like SVN are not as handy for parallel developing as a decentralized version control system like Mercurial. Maybe it's also their personal taste, I don't know. Why not ask them yourself on IRC?

There already was a test, but it desynced a lot. svn diff and binaries can be found in the #openttdcoop.dev channel (just say !download).

I can't access IRC (bad internet connection, cannot hadle any protocols but HTTP).

I always use this. Its much easier than installing an IRC client on your machine.

[el koeno]

I never really use IRC. I sort of detest chatting, except to good friends. Anyway, that means I'll wait until the developers of cargodest feel good enough about their patch that they'll post it around here for people to test it.

[dbkblk]

There are binaries on the IRC channel ! This is very nice to play even if there are some problems (i think there're already known), like desync (i tested with a friend) or some orders problems...
...it is however absolutly fantastic !!!

PS: I dunno where i can report bugs..?

[Roujin]

For now, I'd tell them directly to peter1138/Celestar in the IRC channel..
