[REQUEST] plane crash off//on (or reduction)

[Dante123]

hi there!

i play on a huge map, and once you get a lot of planes => lots of crashed and no way to turn it off.

i have seen patches for previous openTTD versions to reduce crash rate or turn it off/on. but none for this latest version (0.7.2 if i'm correct)

is there somone who is able to create some for me, and the community ? ( i think more than just me want to have it)

if possible also create it into a zip/rar/ace already build ?

thanx!

Use Alt + Shift + C (C stands for cheat!) to get the cheat menu up, then turn off plane crashes. Or some setting similar to that.

[Roujin]

No, you are wrong, petert. That's only for big (jet) planes on small airports, which would otherwise have a really high crash rate.
The normal crash rate is 0.x something percent IIRC and, as Dante123 remarked correctly, not changable in trunk.

I have patch to completely turn off, also in that thread there is a link to reduction or even off ( but id did not work, the off one ).

[petert]

Seems to be in your signature.

but this is not for 0.7.2 right ?

and wellk, me = newbie
and i incapeble of re-building ottd i have learned (i tryed the Msys thing and BuildTTD, none worked)

so if it for 0.7.2, could you maybe build for me and post ?

I really wished they put this in the trunk.

How about it rubidium do you think you can put this in the trunk or offer a patch for it.

There is a patch for it, but I'm doubtful you'll see it in trunk any time soon. Currently, crashes are the only negative aspect of aircraft in comaprison to the other transport methods, so I expect crashes will remain until such time as planes get balanced better.

There isn't a patch for 0.72

Here's a really quick patch for disabling normal air_crashes - for 0.7.2 - (that is for planes on suitable airports - there's still a cheat necessary for big planes on small airports).
Compile and use this .exe for no crashes games and normal one for crashes.

[wozzar]

Can you make it into a Binary Win32 please.

[petert]

Sorry, I couldn't do it since theres a slight problem with the patch at line 5.

(Yes, I tried with -p1 and -p0 before replying.

Code: Select all

$ patch -p1 -i  no_normal_aircraft_crashes_0-7-2.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Are you standing inside the src directory while executing the patch command? Reading from the output the patch seams to be made for that directory and not the base directory. If I remember -p1 correctly it is for using patches created from the base dir when you are standing in the src directory and not the other way around.

[DaleStan]

I'm not sure why it took me so long to figure this out, but there's a 100% reliable way of disabling airplane crashes that has worked -- most likely -- since TTO:

Stop using airplanes.

Indeed - I usually make my patches from the directory where the actual changed file is (in this case /src).

In order not to derail this topic I won't reply to DaleStan's post.

[petert]

Ok, thanks for the updated patch.

Could you make a seperate topic for your patch in-case someone else needs it?

Binaries will be posted in a sec when "make" finishes.

Edit:
Here are the binaries, can be played on servers *Note* I didn't actually play a game to test if any of my planes crash.

[wozzar]

Thanks for the patch petert.

Excuse me, "Can be played on servers" ?! You mean on un-patched ones?!

[petert]

Excuse me, "Can be played on servers" ?! You mean on un-patched ones?!

Yes, pavel1269, un-patched servers. What a dirty little hack it is....

In that case it isn't SirkoZ's patch and I hereby request the source code of your patched build.

I'd also like to note that I'm extremely interested in the way you did this without causing desyncs.
