Yes. "svn log -vr <date>:HEAD" should work. "svn help log" will tell you if I got it right.aahz77 wrote:It would be very inconvenient for me having to check for new nightly versions every day (I usually get the latest nightly before playing after having paused OR when a bug that's affecting my gameplay has been fixed). Could it be possible to have a "combined" changelog that lists all changes within a certain period, e.g. of the last 3, 6, or 12 months? In that case, I could update my knowledge from the point where I last updated the nightly.exe.
Alternatively, you can request that TTDPatch re-write your ttdpatch.cfg, and look for lines announcing "New Switches" and "New Bits".
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Wouldn't this also reset all the previous settings to default?DaleStan wrote:Alternatively, you can request that TTDPatch re-write your ttdpatch.cfg, and look for lines announcing "New Switches" and "New Bits".
I use ttdpc v 1.2.0.0 which does preserve previous settings but it doesn't highlight new switches.
Maybe there is an opportunity here?

Re: Why TTDP?
Not unless you include other switches before the -W or writecfg that would have that effect, or put them in the incorrect location.
"ttdpatchw -W ttdpatch.cfg -C ttdpatch.cfg" is probably not what you wanted. Putting a writecfg at the beginning of your config is also unlikely to be what you wanted.
TTDPatch starts up in this order:
1) Set all switches to their default values.
2) Scan the command line for one or more -C switches.
3) If zero found, read settings from ttdpatch.cfg, if present. (This includes the writecfg switch, which writes the status as of when it appeared, not as of end-of-file.)
4) Process the entire command line. If a -C was found, that file is opened and read (writecfg behaves as above) when its -C is encountered.
This arrangement guarantees that later switches always override earlier switches, and all switches override the implied ttdpatch.cfg.

Re: Why TTDP?
One-time, the easiest thing is to add (assuming "Start in" is set correctly for the shortcut)to the end of ttdpatch.cfg.
For repeated use, add "-W C:\MPS\TTWin95\ttdpatch.cfg " (without the quotes) to the end of the command line. Then open ttdpatch.cfg and search for comments containing "****".
Code: Select all
writecfg ttdpatch.cfg

Re: Why TTDP?
Here's my two cents...Bennythen00b wrote:I am just curious why (some of) you guys play TTDP instead of OpenTTD. (Or both.)
Is there any more functions in TTDP? Or is it because it feels more "rustic"? (Didnt find any better words..)
I don't know quite what it is about OTTD, but it just feels that bit too different. It seems that after so long playing TTDP i just can't seem to comprehend switching to OTTD and adjusting to the different ways of doing a few things.

Well, it´s outdated.wallyweb wrote:/me points to the topic ...
Fortunately enough we did find a far better theme than the usual what-is-better:-TTDPatch-or-OTTD-discussion. No need to return to the originally flawed subject, IMO.

Re: Why TTDP?
Not really ... The ancillary discussion arose out of the topic discussion and has been resolved (I think) and now its back to business as usual - a pleasant discussion of the differences, which discussion just happens to have led to the discovery of features that are occasionally missed by some (such as me ), a most positive side effect.michael blunck wrote:Well, it´s outdated.
So far, what I have noticed is that for some, the attraction for one implementation or the other is the respective feature mix. For others, it is simply a comfort factor for one or the other, sort of like being right handed or left handed (Unfortunately I am neither - I am underhanded ). I do envy the ambidextrous among us for, if they have two PC's, they could play both games at once.
I just had a thought that could drive the devs in both camps absolutely nuts. Wouldn't it be neat if we could network an OTTD game with a TTDPatch one, superimposing small maps over larger ones and vice versa? THIS IS JUST A JOKE! OK?
