Copy & Paste patch, reworked

[kyosuke1989]

I have been using the 0.7.0 binary (thanks for that) and played several online games over the weekend without any issues or desyncs. Of course I have a 100 Mbps link to my servers, and a 15/2 Mbps pipe to the internet, so that may make a difference. But from what I have been able to test, it looks pretty stable.

I haven't had any crashes at all, previous version 0.7.0 b1 had one crash when using template, but good now.

Copy and pasted dose not work i tracked down why it dose not any more after

(svn r16088) -Codechange: merge HighLightStyle and ViewportHighlightMode as they are basically the same thing

All the VHM_ codes have changed to HT_

But i cant think what

To change

In src/tilehighlight_type.h

VHM_PREVIEW = 6, ///< CopyPaste Preview


The only other part of the patch that i think might be a proble is

+ case VHM_PREVIEW:
+ _thd.new_drawstyle = HT_PREVIEW;
+ break;

and also were ever VHM_ has been used in the hole patch do i just change it to HT_

any help would be great and thank you

[Eddi]

well, you should instead introduce a HT_PREVIEW at the appropriate definition of the other HT_stuff

		if (tracktodraw & TrackToTrackBits(t)) DrawPreviewSprite(image + _AutorailTilehSprite[SLOPE_FLAT][t], PAL_NONE, ti->x, ti->y, ti->z);
	}

I'm trying to get this working for 0.7.0, I followed the very limited instructions a few pages ago but Build OpenTTD doesn't know what a .diff file is :S

Can anyone give some instructions on how to do it please

EDIT: Read some of the stickies on the main page and are going to try some of those things.
EDIT2: Tried those things and I still don't understand how I would use this to patch 0.7.0 so back to square one. Can anyone help me please?

1)”Build OpenTTD" means BuildOTTD?
BuildOTTD executes patcher with option "-p0"(=patch -p0 <[file]),but mostly ".diff"s and ".patch"s which are uploaded to forum require to execute patcher with option "-p1"(=patch -p1 <[file]).

then you must modify the file using texteditor or awk,perl, and etc.:

before:
"--- ***/foo" (mostly "***" = "a")
"+++ "***/foo" (mostly "***" = "b")

->remove "***/"

after:
"--- foo"
"+++ foo"

[Kasc]

Yep I meant BuildOTTD, sorry.

And I didn't understand anything you said tbh :S

[ever]

long story short buildottd doesn't work yet

[Kasc]

So that means there's no way to do what I'm trying to acheive? I'm sure someone knows.

[Eddi]

you can use the mingw installation that buildottd installed. put the mingw\bin and msys\bin directories in the PATH variable, then open a command line in the openttd directory and execute the command "patch -p1 -i your_desired_patch.diff", and if that succeded, type "make"

[Kasc]

So what needs to be in this folder? Surely OpenTTD 0.7.0 ? I have since uninstalled BuildOTTD because someone up there ^ said it didn't work D: ..

Also why is it such a problem that someone won't just make the 0.7.0 version?

[dihedral]

it's outdataed! if you want to update the patch, feel free!

*Someone* has better things to do than updating patches for *someone else*. Just a guess though.

[Kasc]

People have been saying the 0.7.0 RC1 works for 0.7.0, is this even true?

The stickies on the main page don't really teach a newbie such as myself how to patch.

[DaleStan]

Execute step 1. When step 1 is complete, execute step 2. When step 2 is complete, execute step 3.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Wow seriously, I ask a perfectly acceptable question and all I get is sarcasm and cryptic hints >_>

Ok maybe you've answered these sorts of questions 12 million times before, but that's not my fault is it?

The stickies have helped many people with patching and compiling OpenTTD, so somehow I cannot believe that it is totally incomprehensible.

Patching is kind of like learning another language. For example you don't know English and you go on holiday to England. A simple 'travel dictionary' might do the job in some places, but if you want to properly learn how to patch you need to study. Some people can learn English from a book and a few tapes, but most people need some kind of tutor. The same would hold for learning how to patch.

What you are asking for is that we 'must' tutor everyone because they cannot grasp the concepts from the 'books'. That's like asking strangers to teach them English. What we say is one of: take a look at book X (look at webpage X), hire a translator (hire someone to assemble and compile the patches you want) or don't go on holiday to England but go to a place where you speak the language (just use the binaries that are provided).
