So... vehicleIDs didn't change? Then this discussion is mute

I assume you know the difference between two similar sounding but different in their meaning words, and purposely chose the wrong one followed by a winky smiley, to confuse the hell out of people?

[Zephyris]

In which case I will just upload v0.3 as an update to v0.2, just need to get home from work!

Lol, just noticed this. I think you will find the discussion is moo, like something a cow would say.

[planetmaker]

Hm... looks like my vocabulary needs a fix. I meant to say something like "... then this discussion is dispensable / void / unnecessary / gratuitous / ... "

It's an uncalled-for confusion, but I can swear I've heard that sentence more than one time in a situation like this - my dictionaries don't give me a word I could have searched for, though, which comes phonetically close to "mute" and a meaning in the right direction.

[Ronstar]

Moot.

Though I've always liked Joey's defence of the word being "moo" in 'Friends': "Yeah, moo. It's like a cow's opinion - it doesn't matter. It's moo."

Lets try not to stray off topic please.

Personally, I'd just overwrite the old one (it's not like anyone's likely to have made some massive game with the old set, or is going to want to use both 0.2 and 0.3 simultaneously). Otherwise, yeah, it'll need a new grf id.

I actually do, the 0.2 cars are great as taxis (or sherut or microbuses) to serve small villages. It would be great to have both.

Other ideas:
- street sweeper
- white line painting crew
- grader
- snow plough
- refuse/recycling truck
- emergency services

What about an oversize transport which can´t be passed?

[PikkaBird]

Tada, 0.4. Now with a parameter to turn off the random beeps while the car is driving around (set the first parameter to 1), at the request of XMJ.

[XMJ]

Thank you, Pikka!

Just tested it, works fine

Now I can build even more cars

[WaRoX]

How to set parameter to disable beeps?

[Zephyris]

Like this I believe (though you should use v0.4 not v0.3 of generic cars )*

*Disclamer, this statement is 100% untested!

[WaRoX]

Oh, so simple, thanks I thought that I need to enter some text like "variable_name=1", but it is simple "1"

[SwissFan91]

I think I have found a bug, not sure if it is directly to do with this set. If you build a few cars in the depot, the "sell all vehicles in this depot" doesn't work. You press yes, and the cars remain in the depot. Any thoughts?

May be it happens because of zero price of cars? You need to look how the source code of this function works.

[Zephyris]

That must be an OpenTTD bug, there is no reason this set should not work the same as any other vehicle set.

[Yexo]

Yes, but before creating a bug report please test if it it still happens in r19277 or later.

[ostlandr]

Thanks! Although it was pretty cool to scroll past a busy town the other day and hear actual traffic sounds- trucks revving, cars honking. . . Actually I think I may skip that parameter until it gets annoying.

Hey Guys. I have been using this set for ages, but I have one request to make. The massive sets (GRVTS, basic industries, basic vehicles) all have complete 32bpp. Now this tiny set, only 56 sprites, doesn't. I'm no modeler, but 32bpp would get this set caught up and it would only take a few weeks tops. Plus cars especially the old ones, would look awesome like you've never seen on 32bpp.

[Zephyris]

This is on my to-do list, and should be easy(ish) to do because they were based on 3D objects to start with... Just be patient, it will happen at some point, especially if 32bpp extra zoom levels hits trunk...
